random white tee, Topshop jeans, Gap x Pierre Hardy sandals, Chloe Edith bag
So welcome to my first Hong Kong post! I hope you’re all excited to see some shots of Hong Kong. I haven’t come across any HK bloggers so maybe mine can be SPECIAL!!!!! I think many bloggers are originally FROM hk so maybe my posts can LURE you back here cos HK is the really the best :D Some people have gotten some things wrong though. The deal is that I grew up in Hong Kong and spent all my childhood and teenage years here and only moved over to New York when I graduated secondary school. I was basically only in NY for university and never really planned on living there after. So now that I’m done I’ve moved 5 years of my life back to Hong Kong! I’m pretty much here for good now..trying to get a job and make a living and buy an apartment (if my mom ever eventually allows me to move out), but seriously I could never imagine raising a kid (what what what?) in New York City..tooo crazy. Okay wait why am I talking about having kids?…anyways moving on…
Spent the day at IFC Shopping Mall..pretty much one of my favourite malls in HK.
Display at Lane Crawford

those balloons sure have some attitude. they’re awesome!!
ooh, i can’t wait to go to HK over this summer. do you have recommendations of shopping places or just places to chill out, admire some street style, have a cup of coffee/tea?
css nerd? heehee. i went through a long phase where i wanted to learn ruby programming and some processing, but alas, grad school = no time for showering. thus, the programming has to wait, right? :P

You see, your HK photos seem more interesting because they’re something we don’t really see usually, and look at the architecture of those buildings, goodness. May I please steal your doggies please? the second pooch has style btw, needing its own blog.
You and your bf look sooo cute together, you must miss him sow much when’s he coming over?
