my loots from hk.

everyone has been asking if hk was fun. it was nothing much except sight-seeing. contrary to the usual belief of eating non stop and shopping non stop.. i didn’t do that. food consisted mainly of the hotel breakfast and random snack here and there. i only had dim sum on the last day for lunch and only visited a ‘cha chang teng’ (tea house) once for gong zai mien.

i only got about 5 hours of shopping time (travelling included) and well.. i just grabbed whatever i could. and tadah! these are my loots.


a cherry tomato plant!

this is the first thing i bought in hk.. at just S$3! there were many other plants that i wanted to bring home. many interesting fruits and all.. but i guess this was all i could manage. now, i can eat cherry tomatoes anytime, just need to step out and pluck.

and because i didnt really buy anything during the trip.. i figured i just have to grab something somehow, so i sorta went crazy at pedder red and nine west.

my steals from nine west

and no. i didnt manage to get anything else for the entire hk trip till 5 minutes before my boarding gate. i walked past a shop and spotted this bag hanging there and the rest is history.

must be fate, because it was a wrong turn that i made and resulted in me spotting the bag. in the rush to get to the boarding gate, there must be a reason why i made a wrong turn right? hee.

and oh. there’s something else that i managed to lug back too. 2 x roast goose that i trawled the streets to find because i refused to pay a premium price for it at the restaurant. and i was glad i did, because everyone else enjoyed it very the much.

and it made my grandma’s day when the family celebrated her birthday for her in msia with the roast goose. i didnt turn up as i was way too tired from the past 9 days of travelling and not sleeping much.

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
