It has been a hectic month with so much admin and physical manual labour for my house. Along with my day job and the major projects that I am running this year, it is basically close to “all hell break loose” moment these days. Well, at least the major defects are fixed now and my house didn’t have water seepage issues during the rainy season in the past few days. In fact, it is not super cold in my unit which I guess is a fortunate thing?
I still manage to meet my friends for dinner every week so my social self care is still there. Unfortunately, I am not getting much exercise other than my weekly personal training session. Time to really refocus my efforts back on my self care and make time to keep myself healthy.
I managed to get a new hand carry luggage from Lojel at 30% discount yesterday. 🙂 They have 10% discount for regular colours and 30% for white, yellow and red colours. Well, the red colour actually looks nice to me so I just decided to get that. 10 year warranty for Lojel and the ease of access for laptops for the hand carry luggage is a plus for sure. When my Echolac luggage warranty is over this October and when the zip spoilt again, I will probably buy another Echolac or Lojel luggage. I’m sticking to luggage with warranty for their parts going forward.
I finally finished blogging about my Hong Kong trip this year (2024). It’s a short 5-day trip but I ended up blogging 7 parts because there are just way too many photos that I want to share.

I have to say the highlight of this Hong Kong trip is the food. Not sure if it is a sightseeing trip or a food trip hahaha.
We went to Jenny’s Bakery because Lay Lian and Xiao Wei both want to get snacks back to Singapore. Jenny’s Bakery is located in a very ulu place and I spotted some interesting sights along the way too.

We managed to drop by to Hong Kong University as well. 😀 I always like to visit universities in the new country because of its architecture.
Very glad that Lay Lian and Xiao Wei agreed to spend a few hours here even though they are not that into universities. 🙂
I really like the contrast of this photo and the framing too.

It’s my first trip to Hong Kong and it was quite an experience.
I got a flu and sinus infection less than a week away from my flight and didn’t manage to recover in time. Then I still took the flight while having partial blocked nose. It was a terrible experience because I basically got blocked ears after that. Luckily it went away in half a day and I was with my friend, Xiao Wei, at that time. Her presence definitely calmed me down and not make me panicked due to blocked ears.
It was a 5-day trip and since I was not feeling well, I wasn’t able to enjoy much.
Just gonna post the photos here for memories sake. 😀
Xiao Wei wanted to get her sneakers so we went to the famous Sneaker Street.
The public transit is also quite interesting. There are some similar/exact names of our stations or roads in Hong Kong. Like Admiralty is in North South (red) line in Singapore and it is also red line in Hong Kong!
I have to say the public transit card is so cute!
Something random I spotted while exploring streets at Hong Kong…
