Pace in the office is really slow today, CD is not around so I guess it is a work-free day.
Funny how everybody else in my cohort is back in school today but I am still here. Not that I mind, but I really would want to be back in Singapore, although I am dreading the idea of the weather, and the not-so-cheap shopping. I want to be back home, in my bedroom, with my family, friends, have a good laugh with people I love and care for. Sigh.
Anyway, seems like I have an arranged USS outing with 3 of my dearest girlfriends, and to celebrate one of their birthdays at the same time, really can’t wait and we are getting the tix at half price, thanks to my mum’s friend who is a member of RWS.
(It also means I can get my VS products at lower rates too! )
So, my parents and my 2 aunties came last Thursday for a short visit. Technically, it is me going to visit them because they went to Macau, not coming to HK. -.-
I had to take the Super Class on the TurboJet cause I was rushing for time and the earliest they had was 8pm at 330hkd, but I was kind of glad I tried it. They provided dinner and the seats were big, there were barely anybody and the service was good. The crew-in-charge even woke me up before the ferry docked, also I get to alight first. :)
A happy, excited me.
Dinner served on board.
I was still calm when I was on the ferry but I was really jumpy and excited as I took the shuttle bus to Venetian Hotel.
So thankful they came over, but they coming over just makes me want to go back to SG more than ever.
Mummy!
Daddy!
So we went for a really sumptuous supper after I met all of them on Thursday. When I saw my parents, I gave them the biggest hug I could have. It feel really good to see them again. I had 4 big bowls of rice during supper and trust me, I eat a lot when I am VERY happy, REALLY upset or TERRIBLY stressed.
Oh, by the way, we stayed at Zhu Hai throughout the entire vacation.
We went shopping the next day at the Underground Shopping Complex and then to Macau on Saturday for some sight-seeing and hotel visiting and a little more shopping. :) You can never guessed what I got!
My eldest aunt and her husband.
And another of my aunt with my mum!
My outfit of the day. Everything on me are new except my jeans.
(Forgive my shades ok, but I really found them cute!)
Visited St Paul’s Cathedral @ Macau and although I have been to Macau countless times, I have never visit this attraction before. The story behind this wall amazed me. Click here to read, if you want to!
We took a walk around the entire place. It was filled with people and I really detest that, but I had some of the best bites along the way and I got to eat bak kwa after so long, but Bee Cheng Hiang ones are still the best. Pork Cutlet bun, Almond Biscuits, Portuguese Tarts, Hagen Daz …
The hotels were beautiful, the shopping was great, food was awesome. My appetite was massive these days. I was eating on an average of 3 bowls of rice for every meal. Food and shopping there are so cheap! I am talking about Zhu Hai now.
Nuff said. Now to show you my buys over the days when my parents came.
Clothes, bag, pouches, wallet.
The clothes I got!
From top left:
Ripped Shorts, Maroon Long Sleeves Basic, Chanel Logo Sweater Top, Vintage Popeye Long Sleeves Top, Hoodie Checkered Button-Up Shirt and Stripped Med Maxi.
These time when I went, I bought quite a handful of Marc Jacobs “Inspired” stuff. I don’t know why I chose Marc Jacobs because I have never shown interest in Marc by Marc Jacobs whatsoever, but I guess it got me this time.
Don’t ask me if they exist or not alright. Honestly, I bought them cause I either think they are nice or cause I needed one, like the laptop case for example.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Check out the label I am into right now,
PRADA.
Yup, Prada caught me when I was in Macau, no idea why, but it just did. I made the decision to change my wallet as well.
People who know me from my past to my present should know that my Burberry wallet had a very strong sentimental value in it, seeing that it was my first high-end labeled wallet and it was a gift from my first boyf and I was reluctant to change my wallet for the past 1 and half year. The wallet meant something to me, it still do but I am finally ready to change my wallet. Secretly it was because I could not resist how pretty the Prada wallet is and there were so many colors to choose from.
Used it once I got back to my hotel and I can’t stop looking at it. It was exactly the same when I got my last wallet. It is a gift from my dad by the way.
And lastly,
Ankle boots from Daphne’s.
My mum wanted me to stop wearing heels because I have a deep cut on my ankle and hitting the cut hurts my bone so she took my heels back and bought me this.
In the other words, both my parents bought me an expensive gift each, of course there is a reason to it, but I shall keep the reason mum right now. :)
And that concludes my short 4 days getaway with my parents and relative. I felt really upset when I saw them to the airport. It was so weird because I didn’t cry when I went, but when they leave, I cried. I guess this is what they mean by “the ones who get left behind, hurts the most”. Sigh. But that’s alright, cause I am going back on Sunday! & my parents are going to bring me to Bedok 85 for supper! :D
I really can’t wait to go back. These days I have been getting messages and texts from random people saying they miss me and wish that I would be back ASAP, and they never fail to warm my heart. ♥
