end of summer D:

Posted by Ling at 3:51 PM
had a fun (long?) weekend with my family yet again~ on saturday i went to harbour city and ate lunch with lg718 and his family~ i loveee eating at california pizza kitchen (chicken?!) but unfortunately, their pasta oven was having trouble and so i couldnt' order my favorite penne D: however, we had two lovely pizzas and some delicious tortillas ^-^
afterwards, we shopped around harbour city where i ended up trying and trying on ballerina flats at lcx and the stores in that area, without success. i already have a pair that are in a nice lavendar colour but i was hoping to get another pair so that i could wear them alternately and neither would be worn out.. but i have waaaay too many shoes D: the thing with HK is that they have the loveliest shoes but the worst condition to wear them in (ie. females have to walk a lot so you need a pair that aren't too high or u get blisters, it rains so often that anything pretty will be ruined if u dont' check weather beforehand, and people in HK are generally rude and i've actually had ppl step on me so hard that my sandals broke D:)~ i've settled down to wearing low, around 1/2~1 inch heels, either with a round or pointy tip~ and mostly from b+ab, my favorite store~
afterwards i hung around page one while waiting for my sis to come (lg718 had to leave earlier to eat with his relatives) and managed to read half of "dragons of winter night"~ i love this series! or at least the first original six books of this large series. i'm so glad sis bought the anthology so we could have a collection of the books in hk for forever...
anyway when my sis came, we shopped around and had dinner at strawberry forever cafe~

on saturday i went to drink tea with my sis and her husband's family~ we then went to a department store ("wing on" department store in jordan for anyone curious hehe) where she bought one of those fancy new 'all in one' electric er.. pot? i'm not sure what to call it but it allows you to bake cakes, cook rice, make yummy chinese soup etc without having to watch it carefully because the appliance adjusts the timing, heat etc when it's baking so that you can go ahead and do other things. my sis had been wanting one for the longgggest time as it allows her to concentrate on other stuff while the soup (which usually takes the longest and needs to be looked after most) is being cooked (?) ~
i went with her to get some groceries afterwards because my bro and his wife were coming for dinner that nite to play some games *_* we got a TON of snacks (yummy wasabi chips :3~~~ ) and lots of ingredients for dinner~ it was a lot of fun to help her cook and to play games with my bro/sis etc afterwards! i think we enjoy these sunday gatherings a lot because we're getting a bit older but the sense of being a kid has never changed. maybe because we're closer now (age difference isn't making much difference now?) and i dont' get to see them as much~

lg718's sis and mom went back to toronto last nite ; ; sooo boring without them now~ lg718 and i went shopping at nighttime (yet again at harbourcity ~_~;;) and i helped my sis get a YSL bag and lg718 and i also got similar leather bracelets from BV.





that's the one i got in black ^-^. lg718 got a black one with two 'belt' buckles instead of the ball of leather like mine. it's adorable! and it fits my wrist perfectly without being annoying! it turns out that it was cheaper than i thought too.. o.o either they're lowering their prices or i got their prices messed up...

on a different topic: my sis in law got a new phone recently, the N73 from nokia, because she wanted a new phone (we happened to get the same phone around the same time xD our phone is not quite a year old yet but it feels like we've used it forever! ) and also because the phone she was using (and i'm still using), the 903sh, is still worth 2.5k! i hope the price stays the same when i find the right phone to get ~_~




that's the N73 by Nokia right there.. it looks.. blah.. but according to my mic sis (ms. sis in law of mine), the phone has a lovely photo viewing program and is very very customizable. and the camera is really good too... however.. the colours.. and looks.. o.o;

any suggestions? but after the lovely 3.2mp camera on my current phone.. nothing is the same D:

sigh.. a week more till i can get my muse bag back from ysl /cry~ they're fixing the buckle and it'll take awhile :(

current mood: sleepy...

ps: thanks for your email aiai :3 miss talking to you tons!
pps: have tons of fun at the wedding selina!
