See What I buy in Hong Kong

This trip to Hong Kong and Macau is so much a eat, shop, sleep trip.... I never slept so much for a holiday trip and it was kind of relaxing. No sightseeing at all.

To begin with, it was such an early flight on Jetstar..... and I was beginning not to feel well the night before.... having a sore throat and losing part of my voice on the 1st day of the holiday.... but this never stop me from shopping.... We roammed around Tsim Sha Tsui, visiting some shops and finally I started to part my money in Espirit Outlet.

I got 3 tops there....


Then we decided to pick something for my little nephew and he is the only one in the family with present.... it looks very Alvin in style.... haa haa....

Then, we returned to hotel and nap before making a trip to Fa Yuen Street (Sports Street) because I wanted to buy a pair of walking shoes I saw in SIN and I thought it will be cheaper in HKG but NO.... there is not even a sight of this design there.... How disappointed I am...

Then we went to a local restaurant for steamboat..... so nice and I am terribly fully... By then, I have totally lost my voice......and I think I need to see a doctor the next day.

So, the next day, we met up with Alvin's friend who had a HKG galfren. So they brought us to go eat very nice tim sum and brought me to go see a local clinc doctor that costed me HK$190. But the medicine works because i was able to speak again after 2 dosages ! Yippee.....

After that, they brought us to an aprtment located in Mongkok, somewhere near the Pet Street. Seriously I don't know how to walk there if you ask me how to. It's a residential place converted into a factoru outlet selling Abercombie & Fitch apparels....and so I got for myself 2 tops....


I particular like the orangy red polo t-shirt because it has a very nice picture print at the back of the polo and I really like it very much.


After Abercombie, we decided to return to hotel to nap because it is almost 3pm then. I am getting lazy and I can feel the bed calling me.......probably it is the medicine that putting me into a drowsy state.

The early evening was spent roaming Canton Road as I very much like to visit the largest LV store in Asia, though I have no budget for anything in there.

You dun see any other nationalities except... chinese and chinese and all mainland chinese.... buying like nobody business.... pointing to every bag on display, flashing their cash everywhere - all at the height where the Sichuan massive earthquake just happened 5 days ago at that time.... Hong Kongers are busy raising and donating monies to help their countrymen and the actual countrymen are spending stacks of cash in Hong Kong.....

We proceed to H & M and In almost went crazy there.... Things are reasonably priced and you can get quality apparels there. What's more... you can't get it in Singapore ! I bought the most things there and was very happy with my shopping..... Nothing can get better than this ! & oh yes, H & M allows exchange within 30 days as long as the tags are attached. So if the queue at the fitting room is long, you can buy back and try at your hotel. If don't fits, bring back the next day for exchange.
