So yesterday was me third 28th birthday… ha ha… What a lovely day. Me girlie, Juliana really made me feel special. First breakfast in bed, flowers, no one has ever bought me flowers before and then a big surprise, she got me these fantastic “bling bling’ RayBan sunnies… Let me tell you, these babies are great, she even got the guy in the store to change the lens with the other style cause she knew that I would like the gold ones, but needed darker lenses. Anyways, they are fantastic and I am really lucky to have em’ and her.
Then we went down to Stanley Market to do a bit of shopping, I always like to treat myself to a birthday pressie… Well just to say this Stanley Market ain’t what it used to be. Annoyingly, half the stores have now instituted a “no fitting” policy, what, that is why we go to Stanley cause all the sample shops in Wan Chai won’t let you fit. YES, I am the first to admit, I SHOP IN THE SAMPLE SHOPS, hell why not, you getting the same merchandise as in the malls, but paying a 10th of the price and supporting Mr. and Mrs Chan, instead of Mr. BIG CORPORATION… and we always like that…
So where was I Stanley, well yeah, just not so good anymore, having said that, I did find a couple pairs of shorts, a nice button upshirt and a pair of jeans, spent roughly $500. Now just a second I have to tell you this, the shorts I got are called EZEKIEL, and the tag inside says “Tested for 40 days and 40 nights in the valley of the shadow of death” ….. Anyways…
So then we went down to Smugglers Innfor a pint, it was such a hot day… Now one question: What the f__k are they doing to Stanley Waterfront. Is this another case of HK crazy drive to fill in the sea. Give it up mateys the sea it bigger than the both of you. I dunno what you gonna do to Stanley Water front but it is surely going to be another one of the misconcieved over planned antiseptic concoctions HK is famous for…. Carry on…
Then we ended the day at Orange Tree having the house special the Lamb Roulade washed down with a very good bottle of red… Ah 28 again… got to love it.
