Pretty Hong Kong

Some people love Hong Kong while some hate. It's actually a very thin line between love and hate. Hong Kong is a super interesting city. It gives people a very new and old feeling. From the most trendy-driven areas, to the super ghetto/vintage areas. Hong Kong is pretty diversed. Anyways, pictures speak louder than words. You tell me whether you love or hate Hong Kong

Are you looking for fabrics?

Because of a recent freelance job, I had to go to Shum Shui Po (深水埗) to look for fabrics for my designer to create her upcoming collection. Shum Shui Po isn't somewhere I will go often because first it's FAR and also, there is nothing to do there. Spent 2 hours walking from store to store to check out fabric. Then I realize it's tough to be a designer. Imagine there are so much going on behind a simple T-shirt. From sourcing the fabric, to choosing the the right material, from designing the right print to the printing method.. bla bla bla.. etc etc etc. When I was checking the fabrics today, I almost FAINTED because there were way too many options. Even though a lot of them look/feel similar, but they are totally different. After today's trip to Shum Shui Po, I gotta say I am going to pay more attention to every piece of my clothing. Gotta respect the designer!

happy adrian day

WOW time flies. it's february already. february is a super duper busy month for me and for the Chinese people because we have to celebrate our New Year. Beside the Chinese New Year, I have so many things going on within this month. It's busy and schedule is PACKED. Anyways, went to this super popular hot pot place in Jordan today celebrate one of my best friend Adrian's birthday. I just realize back in the days, we used to do/plan so much for one's birthday, but now we seem to do less. Not because we don't have the time to do anything, but I guess we just want to keep things simple. Sometimes you don't need to do something (physical) to prove that you are treating someone nicely. it's all about the heart you got.

it is extremely heard to get together in hong kong. even though hong kong is sooo small , but people are busy all day and night. its just hard to sit down, meet up and talk. always cherish the time i spend with my friends.

i've known mr. b for quite some time. i didnt count, but i am sure i've celebrated a lot of birthdays with him. but each year is getting simpler and simpler which i think its good. as you grow old, less is always more. the less you do, the better it is. not sure if my friend here likes this simple dinner and gathering, but i wish him a great 2010. please stay wise and postive. always heart you.
