Busy June

June has been a really busy period. 2 overseas trip and my birthday month. Went HKG on 5 - 8th of June on a biz trip, and my Mom and sister went along with me. Free accomodation at 5-star hotel, why not right? The photos shown on hotel website was really nice and my sister was so enticed to go. When we checked in though, we were all scratching our head and wondering why the website looks so different. Anyway, this was not the best time to go HKG. Not only was it not the sale's season, it was raining almost EVERYDAY. First day we touched down, it was drizzling, second day pouring, third day black alert, all schools had to close. Lucky we stay in a hotel with immediate access to a big shopping mall. If not, my sis and Mom will be bored to death. There were news of floods at a lot of places whenever we watch the news. Lucky for us, on the last day where I had F&E with them whole day till about 4pm, it was clear weather, so we managed to do some shopping and I even bought 2 Rabeanco leather bags. All 3 of us bought Rabeanco bags this time round. =)

13 - 17 Jun, I went BKK with Junqi. Have not been on a trip for a LOOONNNNGGGG time, so I was really looking forward to this trip. We stayed at Marriott Resort and Spa and really enjoyed our stay there. Service was good, ambience was really good. The location is at Riverside, so in order to get to town area, we had to take a ferry to and fro everyday. Really nice and exclusive. All the goods hotels have this kind of shuttle ferry service at their respective hotels. Shopping was good, I think I did more shopping during this trip than the last 5 years combined. Every night we will go for massage to soothe our legs so as to continue the shopping battle the next day. Every night after all the shopping and walking, on the ferry back to hotel, I have this sizzling feeling in my legs! Food was not good though, tough to find vegetarian food in BKK. Our life saver was MK steamboat. Confirmed, checked and double confirmed that their soup base is soya. So we had steamboat for dinner for consecutive 2 nights. On our last day, I was simply dragging my feet to shop around. No stamina at all! I was on the look out for cafes constantly so that I can rest my feet! I'm getting OLD!
