Soap bubble days
 Goodbye, Hong Kong, for awhile. That was us at the AIA world carnival about one week ago, celebrating our one month anniversary in Hong Kong. We've survived that one month happily, settling in and making friends, of course not without the drama in the back. And all of a sudden, I'm back where I was, back in the comfort of my own room, but I feel different. I'm doing all the things I used to, and it feels like that one month never existed. But that part of me that misses Hong Kong cloys at my heart ever so often and I feel like I'm in a soap bubble that got transported back to Singapore in a surreal dream. It's hard to explain, it's like I'm leading two different lives. But yesterday was pure joy when I stepped into my favourite haunt, one that I've missed so much - Topshop. My one and only material love these days, I spent more than an hour in there by myself with their beautiful new collection of treasures. Ten outfit tries and many polite requests to the saleslady for different sizes and colours later, I emerged $171 poorer, but with a new pair of jeans and three tops. Plus two scratch-and-win cards which entitled me to $18 dollars off a single item. That means I successfully managed to cheat Topshop of $36. A fantastic bargain, this is why I love Topshop and why shopping requires that stroke of luck. Other than Topshop, I've indulged in my favourite rooftop talks with cheese waffles, Starbucks with the girls and an overload of burgers and Italian food. Indeed, I like this surreal dream.
