My “bilins”.

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

My mom visited yesterday and was I glad to see her! She is leaving for Macau and Hongkong next week and I made sure to write down the shopping places she needed to go. I told her about TungChung, an outlet store in Hongkong, that is a must go to place for cheap finds like Samsonite bags, Lacoste Bags and RL shirts. I told her to get RL polo shirts for Sophia if she sees any in her size. I hope she gets to buy for the little girl as the daddy for some reason loves seeing Sophia wearing polo shirts and jeans. Although RL dresses are quite hard to find, I’m hoping the outlet store in TungChung might have some as I on the other hand loves seeing Sophia wear those preppy polo shirt dresses.

Since she is also going to Disneyland, I asked the “lola” to buy a Disney Princess rolling bag for the little girl too. The last time we were there, they were out of stock and I was told that new stocks will arrive by October. I hope my mom can still grab one by next week.

If only a stroller or a car seat won’t be too much to carry around, I would have asked my mom to purchase them too there as I’m sure its cheaper compared to getting them here. But I don’t think my mom will be able to handle such big stuff so I have no choice but to purchase the stroller and car seat here - at Hobbes and Landes in Boni High Street specifically.

Now, what else? I still have a couple of days to think of some more…

My fave online bookstore.

I love shopping for books online. Be it for me, my husband or our little princess, I get Amazon books all the time as not only do I get them at big discounts, I also save time and effort to go to the nearest bookstore to pick up new books. With the rising prices of gas today, such short trip means a lot of savings already.  Lately, I have been getting a lot of self help books too and I give them out as gifts to aunties and uncles who are celebrating their birthdays.  I have ordered a lot of Dr Seuss books for the little girl too as she loves reading these books.  I hope her love for reading will continue until she grows older unlike me and her dad who just rekindled our love for reading a few years ago.

Shopping!

I was in my favorite shopping city for four days which is why I have no updates here for a while. I didn’t bring my laptop with me as I hate bringing extra luggage. You see, I need all the extra space I can get for my shopping loot. :D Its not easy traveling with a little girl in tow and shopping is extra challenging too. But I still managed to anyway with a little help from the husband. Will post my loot soon!
