Hong Kong #2

Eight years of travelling together, this is the first time we left with two pieces of luggage and came back with three!



J was rather indulgent this time and let me buy everything I fancied. With my new job, it's unlike that I can drop my work in an instant and accompany him on his work trips. This means us travelling together less next year. Which makes me sad! Hence his indulgence in a bid to cheer me up.



This is me very very anxious because for a long time all we got was J's bag. The loots were in the other two bags of mine!



My agnes b. bag charm did not survive this trip. One of the blings fell off somewhere in HK. Because I do not even know where I dropped it, I can't glue it back. Sadly this means early retirement for this bling bling. It is my favourite and always will be.

Real bag sisters

This is my Christmas present to 1 of my sisters.

Pretty? :)

She carried it during Chinese New Year and I was as pleased as a peach.

I have a similar one except mine is white and bigger because I always have plenty of stuff to lug around.

Now we are not only sisters but also bag sisters. Yay! :)

I LOVE HK!

It seems like I've disappeared from the Internet! But really I had gone shopping on a work trip. :)

We went away for a conference on 14 Dec though I must admit that throughout the trip all that was on my mind was the shopping and eating. So don't ask me how my presentation went, it was a blur. :) I can however tell you that J did really well. He read 2 papers and like always people went up to talk to him about his research. He's a real magnet I tell you! I'm resigned to forever remain in his shadow. :)

I haven't had time to sort the pictures. Actually I didn't take too many because I was too busy preparing for my presentation the first few days and for the rest of the trip I was too busy shopping. So here's a quick peek.

After day 2

(New boots and shoes not included, they were already on our feet!)

We only had 2 days to shop. NOT enough! If only we had more time and the weather wasn't so cold, we could have gone on forever.

New love

This is what I am carrying.

My new agnes b.

Ow, J's buddy, annoys me no end by calling them the 'ugly b.' bags.

My bro teases me by asking if my loud bag charm is for 'fengshui' purposes. In his words, "Why else would you want to hang that thing?"

If you put that all together, I now have a fengshui bling hanging on my ugly b. bag.

Frivolous frivolous

This is what I carry.
