Hong Kong: in retrospection

Hello, I am back in Singapore.

Nah, not today but two days ago. Just that I haven’t gotten a chance to sit down to blog ‘cause life has been back to the same ol’ top gear pace since my return.

Like aggravating bidding (Needing O N E more module, grrrr).
Like the StarHub roadshow at Suntec (Back to hub but hubbing is incomplete without my lovely Dorkie and Yiyi *boo*).

Oh wells, reality is always harsh. At least I had my brief escapade before all these madness.

Hong Kong was fun! And saying that it was fun is a gross understatement!

I'll have to admit that it could be better if we had more time (one week at least) and a more organized itinerary. But I wouldn’t ask for more really, given that we kind of arrange the trip on a whim. ;)

So we shop, and shop, and shop, and eat a lot more.

Their tourism board ain’t exaggerating when they claim Hong Kong is all about shopping and eating. I came back all broke but the experience was priceless.

It feels good to be in a foreign place once in a while. (Despite having cry my guts out at the airport ‘cause Pebble was whining when I ran in - without her - for check in; and I was sincerely missing her deep until the real shopping sets in *urps*).

As much as HK is as easy to get around as Singapore, the spirit of adventure was overwhelming. In my case, I was content with letting Collin do the navigation while I take it all in. Amazing place.

Or perhaps it wasn’t the place but the people who were with me and the whole notion of being in a foreign country where everything is so new and bizarre at the same time.

Or maybe this is just my way of escaping the responsibilities adult life brought me.

I can’t help but chuckle when I reflect on how I started to demand for "freedom" at a tender age of 12. What’s so bad about being that little baby?

On second thought, IT IS BAD. I guess I rather own the freedom than escape the responsibilities.

Bring on the freedom, and where to next? :)

P.S. As usual my handy Casio never fails me by capturing all the little moments which I shall indulge in whenever I need a piece of those happy and carefree times. Photos galore up next!! :)
