Little Tim Sum place, Happy Valley @ Hong Kong

Perhaps some of you wonder how do I gain 3kg within 3 days. Below are all the culprits:

Highly recommended this excellent timsum place (It is small, but the food is EXCELLENT!! Be prepared to queue up / wait though ...) @ Happy Valley in Hong Kong.

Add: G/F, 63 Sing Woo Road, Happy Valley, Hong KongTel: +852 2834 8893



Must try the delicious Char Siew Pao!




More goodies ...





The beancurd-skin stuffed timsum is incredible too, so were most of the other dishes ... We ordered a LOT of food!











There was every conceivable timsum on the menu, and we ordered most of it ... including pork chops!





Time to say goodbye to this scrumptious timsum place ... After something like 50 orders of timsum!!!!

Woman's Fav

Strictly no marking for the day, we went to Tampines Mall in the afternoon few weeks back.

The best present is my lovely dad agrees to buy a 0.31 Destinee solitare ring for my mum!Initially, my mum was thinking whether to upgrade her 0.22 Destinee solitare ring as the 2-year upgrade is ending soon.So, when we finally chanced upon a 0.31 Destinee which mum and I quite like it, I suddenly held back.

I am never a jewellery person. I don't desire diamonds at all. I don't give a damn about the carat size. To me, a 0.22 Destinee is more than enough. However, to my mum it matters a lot to her.
Even though she hardly even wear it!

So what makes her wanna upgrade it?
I guess it is due to peer influence and the temptation of upgrading a bigger carat without any depreciation value. After trying out various carats, she likes 0.3 the most. Any ring above 0.35 is just too big for her. She don't like the feeling of having such a big carat ring on her small finger lah.Nevertheless, she finds it hard to let go. But that 0.22 Destinee is the ring that my dad gave her as 25th year anniversary gift . This ring has so much sentimental value. How can she just upgrade like that?She rejected his proposal immediately. I comforted her while walking out from the shop.

After dinner at Aijisen, she finally made up her mind to buy the 0.31 Destinee. I were wondering how the mere size difference would matter. After witnessing the comparison, I were convinced that there IS an obvious difference in size. I tried to convince her that it would still be the same ring.

Well, except that it has grown slightly.

"People grow up. So does diamond." (this phrase must be made known to men ... *lol*)

Without further hesitation, my mum bade farewell to her 0.22 Destinee and welcomed 0.31 Destinee.Like what dad said, it's all fated.

Shopping, Shopping & Shopping

This is what I really call 'LIFE'.

What I bought:

A Top, pant and skirt from Mango Up to 70% Sales!



Masks and a shimmer from Face Shop @ 20% discount each.















Masks from 我的美麗日記 @ 80 cents/pc (Thank to Jaycee's recommendation)

Customized Decorations on the usually plain shoes

This is about shoes - customized decorations on the usually plain shoes and I think it's quite an interesting selection to pick from. Cost would be estimated at about $20~$35.

This design is really for the casual streetwear - definitely eye-catching. At least I have never seen this design on the market in Singapore yet.


Not a bad design at all- quite presentable and cute-looking as well.

Any sponsor for me???

Take a look and see if you are interested:
