Because a photo speaks a thousand words :)

Filed under: General, Hong Kong

I’m so in love with Adobe Photoshop :) I knowla, my photo-editing still abit the amateurish compared to KinkyBlueFairy, but I’m learning, ok? Im also spending waaaaay too much time editing my pics. :( Bad FJ!

Met up with Sinthi today and went to Sungai Wang to shop! After that we went all the way to KLCC to try Bakin’ Boys‘ cookies! Yummy! I have found a perfect substitute for the now-no-more-available-in-Malaysia Mrs Fields brownies! :D I tried their classic cookie, the Solitaire…mmm…crunchy on the outside, with a soft melty butter cookie inside and a dark chocolate centre! When you bite down on the dark chocolate centre, it is EXACTLY like Mrs Fields brownies! The cookies are going from RM 3.20 (different prices for different varieties) and the muffins about RM 3.60 I think. The next time I’m in KLCC, I’ll try their Cranberry White Chocolate Muffin! *drool*

Anyway, a few (read: little) pics from today and my purchases: -

I think the pic pretty much explains it all :P

I love my new jeans! I have always wanted to buy a new pair of low-slung jeans similar to my Diesel ones, but the ones I like (also from Diesel) are always RM120!!! If I can’t even afford to buy a RM46 shorts, where to find money for RM120 jeans leh? Luckily, we went into this shop called Beans a few shops next to Radioactive and lo and behold! They are selling low slung jeans like nobody’s business. EVERY SINGLE PAIR OF JEANS THERE IS LOW SLUNG! Prices are reasonable, less than RM80 (well, I didn’t see one that is more than RM80…but I didn’t look through the entire rack, so I could be mistaken). My darling faded grey jeans costs RM 68 (including RM6 for alteration at the tailor right next to it). Ahhhhh….so worth it, even though I am NOT SUPPOSED TO BUY ANTYHING TODAY!

And err…if you’re wondering why I’m wearing my sunnies in both pics, it’s not because :-

a) I fought with Jarod and cried so much until my eyes bengkak

b) the sales person punched me for taking up too much time in the changing rooms

c) my sister accidentally kicked me in her sleep, thus causing a swollen black bruise that is so horrifyingly ugly

d) I contracted the pop-eye disease (which is really GROSSNESS to the extreme!) from handling my poor molly too much…

It’s because THEY ARE NEW! I bought them today! I’m so happy! :D Today is such a productive and satisfying shopping day, even though I wasn’t really enthusiastic about going out, because I’m almost broke. Considering that I didn’t plan to BUY anything at all today, the haul is very gratifying :) Things I have always wanted and can’t seem to find the perfect candidates :)

Anyway. Sinthi and I were in Lot10 before going to Sungai Wang Plaza and Isetan was having this “Casual and Sports Fair”. So I went to check it out and a rack of sunnies were there…to cut a long story short, I bought the sunnies after much hesitation, because I wasn’t sure if it had complete UV protection (i.e UV 400). After much deliberation (actually, not really, because I really like them!), I decided to buy themla…RM29. What’s a little cataract compared to looking cool, eh? :P JOKING. It’s not cool to get blinded by UV rays, yo!

Anyways, I came across England Optical in Sg. Wang Plaza and wanted to ask them to check my sunnies for the UV protection. The lady there was really nice and helpful, but she was talking to another customer, so I said I’d come back for the checking later. BUT I FORGOT! *weeps*

Luckily, we were heading to KLCC after that, and there is a Focus Point in KLCC, and my spectacles are from Focus Point, so I decided to just be brazen and ask for the UV check. :) The 3 ladies there were extremely nice and THE GOOD NEWS IS THE SUNNIES ARE 100% UV PROTECTED! UV 400! Wooo! Who said you need to buy branded sunnies to get complete UV protection? WHO? :P

Now I can wear my sunnies without fear :)

Oh, and the FCUK specs frames were really nice! So colourful! But damn expensive…RM500++. WHY OH WHY IS NICE STUFF SO EXPENSIVE? WHY OH WHY AM I SO BROKE? I WANT TO JUMP OFF BUILDING NOW!

DON’T TRY TO DISSUADE ME! WORDS CANNOT CHANGE MY MIND!

(If you really want to save me, please start a Fund For FoongJin Shopping Expeditions. Thank you. )

*~*~*~*~*

Since I know you all miss seeing my eyes, I shall generously *ahem* insert a random Hong Kong Disneyland pic that has eyecandy for the girls, especially :D

Click here for larger image.

Ahahahah, doesn’t Tarzan look like he’s not wearing anything? :P Damn Disneyland, corrupting the locals with their *ahem* kebudayaan barat and kuning and whatnots. :P

Mmmm…I miss Hong Kong Disneyland…didn’t have time to finish exploring the whole place :( I WANT TO GO BACK TO HK!!!

  1. ‘Wooo! Who said you need to buy branded sunnies to get complete UV protection? WHO?’

    Lol, I don’t think my designer sunnies even have the slightest bit of UV protection. Not that it matters.

  7. urgh I don’t like it that my comments don’t reappear if I hit the submit button without filling in my (fictitious) email.

    anyway, UV protection doesn’t matter to me because I only occasionally wear sunglasses, and mine are just light tinted ones (you can easily see where I am looking at) so UV protection isn’t as crucial as the heavily tinted ones :)

  8. elb - ohhh, so you wear sunnies for fashion only lah is it? :P

    p/s - your previous comment was held in moderation because the word “prescription” is in it. it’s considered a spam word.

  9. well, it does help reduce incoming sunlight a bit, so can we say a bit of both? ;)
