a moment to remember

~songs in my head~

没有地球太阳还是会绕.

But I don’t care what they say. I’m in love with you.

I just wanna fall and lose myself Laughing so hard it hurts like hell Forget about everything and run away, yeah

By ourselves we are too weak to hold our own even for a moment.

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God" (Romans 8:28)

For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.

"God has given, God has taken, blessed be the name of God" (Job 1:21)

"I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out – plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

catching up

a short post before i crash.

Hongkong trip was a blast. absolutely enjoyable & loved every minute of it.
dont have the photos from howie yet but here are the highlights of my trip:
1. came back with the much coveted 2nd hand LV epi leather noe in mustard with purple lining. costs me only 2000HKD. 1/4 of the original price. actually i realise i dont really care that its 2nd hand, i just like this design & color too much. dont think its still in production so 1st hand is impossible. thanks to the high exchange rate too.

a sample photo of the bag i got. will post photos of me carrying it when i get them:)
beams.

2. ocean park was amazing. the weather was chilly & unbeatable. tried the rides and im so proud of myself that i managed to conquer the seemingly most daunting one - The Abyss Turbo Drop. this is the free fall ride whereby we will ride to over 50 metres high and then a few seconds later, drop down. i felt like there was no seat below me, and nothing i was holding onto. the anticipation was making my legs shake but i gotta to say, the view at the top, terrific!! even on the rollercoaster, and this space rider thing (which left us giddy and unable to walk straight thereafter), the views of the mountains and the seas in HK are just breath-taking.

3. the lovely hotel room (which looks like a serviced apartment) and the amazing picturesque view we had facing the sea & tsing yi bridge. one of the best hotels i've stayed.

4. weather was like air-con on the streets, similar to when i went there & shenzhen last nov. it was nice, but we were a little unprepared with our thin tees so i got a sweater from ocean park's souvenir shop. expensive, but a good memoir of the trip. the sweater is really cute too!

5. and i got to mention this, i tried the durian & 黑糯米 dessert i mentioned in my previous post,
and it is simply divine. it is the BEST DESSERT i have ever eaten. i finished every drop of it. that's how nice it is. hahaha. i know it sounds crazy but it was just nice, not too sweet even though there was durian, and it was not too sickening, easy to eat. i will definitely want to have that again when i return to HK someday... (maybe not so fast... cuz i've been there 2 times in the past 1 year already haha). but yeah, it was really really delicious.

6. this was my 1st trip overseas with bf. so thanks for making this memorable & so enjoyable dear:) i know you had a good break too, so look forward to your new start soon! hehe.

i'll blog about the rest of the trip when im less busy!
work's been quite crazy...

at the hongkong airport, i went to prada shop and i fell in love with these bags. i think i'm slowly becoming a fan of prada.

trust me, the bags are so much more prettier, classier & elegant in real life. the nappa leather is so soft to the touch. but at $3890 for the nappa leather version and $1950 for the nylon version, they arent on my affordable list right now. it's okay, i will save up. :) i love the taupe/cream color one. the black is nice and very easy to match too. argh. (have i become a bag lover? gasp!)
oh btw, kate spade is much more cheaper there by abt 100-200 dollars. :)

Prada Vernice Gaufre Frame Bag.
you really got to see this in real life, touch it to understand its beauty.
i hope it will become like an icon of prada or something, like the chanel 2.55, so that at least when i have enough money to buy it, it will still be there haha.

well i have set up my mind to focus on the bigger things in life :D
and by that i mean, saving up and bypassing smaller purchases that are seasonal/impulsive/transient (think dresses, shoes & magazines) to obtain bigger purchases in the long run.
my bigger purchases refer to branded bags, electronic gadgets, handphones (my htc is lagging very badly, i want to get a blackberry next), cars (my sister just got a black Camry! wooo... cant wait to test drive it hahah! it's black color though, if only it was shiny red.) etc.
hahaha and nope i have not turned into some materialistic freak.
i just think that these are things that are more worth my bucks than things like clothes, which dont really have much value, especially after its no longer in fashion or whatever.
at least branded bags can still be sold off after passed their seasons.
so, im going to swear off online shopping. its true, i hardly buy anything online now, really a rarity for me who used to love it so much.
i used to buy alot of clothes + shoes + whatever online, not bad just buy, cheap also buy, everything was nice so buy, and there was a scary time stress in school triggered my impulsive buying so much that i only had a one digit in my bank (and a very nice digit). really not funny to recall, i remember telling no one. so yup, even though this was eons ago, but its a reminder to myself too.
i think about mileage & value alot more these days.
perhaps its a sign of age & maturity.

and this is the camera i would like to save up for.
canon powershot s90
i hv seen the photo quality, really clear & sharp.
my casio camera is very pathetic now, images turn out too grainy.
hope to get this camera by May this year.

bed time.

goodbye or see you,
I'll be your best kept secret or your biggest mistake.
