Flower of the day

My choice: Iris and tulips

Primary Significance: With history dating back to Greek mythology, irises come in a rainbow of colors, the most popular being the deep blue variety. Their primary meanings include faith, hope, wisdom, courage, and admiration. Where tulips are a comfortable flower choice and one that expresses perfect love.

With striking uniqueness and beauty, iris have rich meanings, and when given as gifts, they can convey deep sentiments. With over 200 varieties in a wide spectrum of colors, the iris, which fittingly takes its name from the Greek word for "rainbow," can be found in virtually every part of the world, growing both naturally and in farms. While garden irises can come in any of these many varieties, the flower's cut versions are mostly blue (the most popular type), white, and yellow. Tulips are not too elegant, too romantic, too big, too small, or too bright; the tulip is always just right. They are like a favorite pair of jeans or your mom's fresh-baked cookies in that the meanings of tulips express genuine coziness and comfort in all of the right ways. Hence when the 2 comes together, there is a complete sentiments and comfort, with the deep meaning of perfect love, faith, hope, wisdom, courage and admiration. There is no better gift than the combination of these 2.

The boots

Found the boots i bought in Hong Kong! =)
my maid kept it in a corner of my room.........
saw a lot a lot of boots when i was in Hong Kong...
due to the 'coming winter' season, the people there are getting ready with their 'gears'...
from head to toes...
so boots is like the trend in hong kong now.

i bought this grey boots out of all the boots i saw, because the details are clearer compared to a black on black or brown on brown boots.
With this, i can wear both dark or light colored clothes!

Fishing on a yacht!

First time out fishing on a yacht. I am so excited and everyone is! We all woke up at 5 plus to prepare all the stuff and set off at 630am. There's lots of food~! Bee hoon, curry chicken, chicken wing, drinks, beer, peanuts of different sort, fruits..
In case i feel nauseous i took the pills and it caused me to be super drowsy throughout the whole trip =.=
Hahaha even though we only managed to catch 2 small fishes, one by Ivan and another by the dad, we all enjoyed the time together and were so sleepy on the way back.
my proud fisherman, my husband-to-be! =D

Yacht Photo shoot!

Haha.. we had our secret photo shoot at RSYC today!
The heavy rain was making everyone moody as we arrives at RSYC...
We prayed and i even called my mum to pray...
and it still continues to rain at 6pm...
BUT GOD saves the day~
The rain stopped at 630pm and we rushed a buggy straight to the yacht and the owner was there. A very nice angmo guy who is my father-in-law's friend.
What a nice and clean yacht~
I thank God it was not any other yacht, though it is not super big but it is really really nice and i fell in love with it!
The photos are still not ready so hopefully i can post up some when i go for my Phuket shoot. =)

All that i ATE!

This restaurant is black listed by me! Hahahaha! Food is expensive and service is BAD! the people really couldn't be bothered to serve you and they are not very honest. We ordered the smallest portion but i am quite sure it is not. because how can the smallest portion cost us more than S$20 for a plate of roasted pork and the BBQ pork. Total we spent nearly S$40 and they did not want to give us the receipt breakdown of the price. Disappointing for a high class restaurant like them. For the terrible service and the ok food, i will rate is a 2 star. But for the bad service, i might never wanna go back there for food.

This is a cafe at Sheung Wan. Food is not bad. A simple place. The breakfast set is really worth it. It's almost breakfast 'cum' lunch for us. Spent less than S$10 for all that's below. i will rate it a 3 star.

This is located at Tsim Sha Tsui, along the main road at level 10. A quite new restaurant that just started operation for 2 months. Not very expensive, quite nice food. Can get a 3.5 star. The peanut with seaweed side dish given at the beginning will be charged. You can tell them you don't want it but it's worth trying because it's really nice. Total we spent around S$20 for the 2 of us.

This is a "Dian Zhi Mian" store in Prince Edward Road that we entered, hoping to fill our stomach. The food turns out to be quite bad. DO NOT order the pig knuckles there because it is not what you did be expecting. Below is the photo of the pig knuckles we got, it is really a pig leg and you can see the feet. Vegetable is so-so only, no taste and not fresh. i will rate it 1.5 star only. Spent around S$12 on these.

MUST TRY! i would give this store a 5 star! This is a "Mian" store located at Sheung Wan. Take the Exit B and you will see a Circle K Supermart across the street. This store is located right beside the Circle K mart. The Ramen is so nice we went back the 2nd time. The meat are very very well marinated and this is like that real Hong Kong food! Spent only S$17 on these.

Very nice desert store at Shim Tsui Po. It's a very very small shop that you might have just passed it by if you do not give attention to it enough. Deserts are really nice, very good attitude services. There's the hot healthy kind and also the cooling favored snow with their interesting toppings. i will give it a 4 star! Spent S$10 on these.

This is our last stop at the airport before checking in, at the level 3 of Airport Terminal 1 in Hong Kong. i will give it a overall 3 star. Prices are ok, food is not too bad. Soya sauce chicken, 3rd picture below taste good.

I'm back!

So long since i blogged and i almost forgot about my blog!

First up! i just got back from my Hong Kong trip on Friday night, past midnight..
It was a 6 days trip with my mum, and i really love going out with my mum! =D

More than just the shopping, it's also about the time spent with her...
Spend time with the people u love k! it is priceless and all worthwhile! =)

This trip was quite a busy one, so we didnt have time to shop much. Moreover, they are having their autumn season so the people there are all preparing for the winter and most of the clothes are winter clothes.

This is the 2nd most expensive thing i bought in the trip. (Don't ask me what is the most expensive thing, cause i promised my mum not to tell anyone). This is a LV new series bag! They had it all sold out except for my very last piece and so... i bought it for $1517. But looking at it on the bright side... i can use it for both casual and formal! =P
3rd most expensive thing is this Jimmy Choo heels. I fell in love the moment i saw it! i am willing to give up any of my shoes for this! Hahahaha... i am sure this is gonna be the next big thing, the next fashion trend! So i promised i will not buy anymore heels for now. Hehehee but thank God i got one heels boots the day before le. =) That one my maid kept it and i cannot find it so will take photo another time.
Lastly, this is a not expensive thing. but this is a remarkable first pair of flat cover shoes i have ever bought other than school shoes and sport shoes. Hahaha.. All leather so it's quite comfortable. This might mark the historical moment of wearing more flats~!
i am leaving the house for something special today.. so i will update you with more stuff soon~ Especially all the things i ate in Hong Kong! Hahaha.. =)
