[Daily outfit] Here comes the causal Friday series again....

Here comes my Causal Friday series again!
For some reason,  I think Spring has almost disappeared in Hong Kong (or only last for a week or two), most of the time, I just feel that it just jumps from Winter directly to Summer
and so that my clothes featuring in the deary weekly causal Friday session is slowly switching from tights to short skirts...

I wore the skirt that i bought from Cotton on when it's on a 30% off easter sale.  it matches well with almost all of my summer tees
I got the tee from gmarket and it's in quite good bargain, costing me less than hkd100 (with postage included!)
the scarf is just an add-on in case i felt a bit chilly when i went indoor with all those air-con
but i think it matches well with the outfit.

top: gmarket, skirt: cotton on, flats: gmarket (again!!)

and that's it for my causal friday outfit.

[食記] 尖沙咀韓松

一向都喜歡食韓國食品, 貪其香口帶點辛辣的味道 (款式不同的配菜更加不用說吧~整個大愛)
而石頭飯更是我的至愛
想起上年到韓國旅行的時候, 我每天都有食上一碗的
回到香港後, 我覺得香港的石頭飯都比不比韓國的好吃 (是因為人在異鄉所以覺得特別好吃嗎)

所以前陣子看到團購網有韓國食肆的coupon, 立即上網看看品評
看到這間標榜著地道韓國食品的食店真的是有蠻多好評的
於是便買了4張coupon ($50買$100)


本來決定買了coupon之後幾天就到韓松, 但不知怎地,每次決定了去的時候總會有一些阻滯
等等等等
所以到最後是3個星期後才去到
預早book定了兩位
因為擔心會沒有位置


一進去的時候, 真的是吃了一驚, 因為格局跟韓國的好像唷
而且進去的時候, 侍應是個韓國人(所以令我更確信是韓國人開的!)
由於我和男友的食量也不大, 但又很想試試燒肉和我最愛的石頭飯, 所以我們要了一個小的2人餐(只有五花腩)和一個石頭飯

這間正宗韓國餐廳是用下圖的板來燒肉的, 不用加油便可把肉放去燒了,
而工具也提供了 (剪刀和夾)
這塊板的放法是有點點傾斜的, 可以把油滑下去, 不會停留在板上 (真貼心的設計!!)


五花腩看起來很新鮮 (對不對?)
令人食指大動
先把肉放到熱板上, 然後用夾反幾次, 就可以了


這店有提供一些蔬菜
用來包著燒好的肉一塊吃
可以減少油膩的感覺
而且, 也會健康一點
這就是石頭飯, 來到的時候熱騰騰的
然後侍應就幫我們把飯和辣醬混在一起
嘩真的很像在韓國食的感覺
有飯焦而又不會痴牙的!(真神奇!!)
而且味道鮮明, 又沒有味精咬落粒粒分明


總括而言, 這頓晚餐真是吃得開懷
用了團購的coupon後共320 (即是沒有的話就要420, 都蠻貴的)
而且待應們有點催促的感覺 (也不是很催促, 只是沒什麼自助的感覺)
不過走的時候發現人很多, 所以都明白他們的用意
還剩下2張coupon, 應該會遲點用的~

以上.

擴大online shopping版圖之Shopbop shopping*

有看開我的blog便會知道, online shopping 其實是我最主要的購物來源 (即係話, 如果冇online shopping我可以慳多好多錢...)
早前見某forum內有sis提及到shopbop正進行限時減價, 買滿250美金減50玩, 500減100元...如此類推.
於是, 腦波弱的我便到了shopbop看...
按著按著...
怎知道, end up敗了兩件東西回家 (當時為自己找了很多合理化的理由~)

Readers of my blog would notice from my previous blog entries that my major shoppings are done online (which is to say I would have saved a lot more if I dont do online shopping at all -___-)
Since there is a sis on an online forum which I frequently visit mentioned a shopping spree at an America-based luxury shopping site, I instantly check-on any possibilities in getting myself anything.
There will be 50 US discount when you have purchased 250 US, and 100 off for 500 purchase...etc
well, click-after-click, I end up purchasing two items at the end (which i have fully justified the reasons in getting it :P)

是marc by marc jacobs的Preppy Nylon Pearl Tote和Totally Turnlock Key Pouch
兩樣都是買了taupe (灰色)   - 襯番一套吧:)
買了兩件總共是$248+$68 =  $316
加上$50的折扣後是$266
港幣來說的話就差不多是hkd 2100左右
我到過專門店看, 灰色袋要hkd2290而錢包也要hkd650
而現在慳了800多塊~

I got Preppy Nylon Pearl Tote and Totally Turnlock Key Pouch by
both are Taupe (which matched totally together)
both of them cost me USD 316 (bag for USD248 and the pouch for USD68), but with the discount, it only cost me USD266 (which is equivalent to HKD2100)
and after a suspicious check in the department store, I have found that I have saved myself around HKD800 altogether!


由於平常家中都是沒人在家的, 所以包裹就送到公司
星期五下單, 星期一早上便收到了
快得很!
哈哈是DHL速遞的, 所以服務質素是蠻不錯的!

Since no one would be at home during normal business hour, I have entered my office address to receive my parcel and it only take 2 working days for me to get my shopping!
fast and precise
and that is very DHL :P

在公司時不好意思開箱, 於是回家才正式開封!
包裝得還算精美, 雖然沒有用上mbmj的包裝紙
但也看得出是小心包裝, 務求運送途中不至損壞

看吧, 是由層層bubble wrap和紙包著的

I opened the box when I went home since I don't want to go unpacking an online shopping box in front of every people inside the office.
Although it is not wrapped in mbmj wrapping paper, you can still tell that they take great care of the product since it is really carefully wrapped by bubble sheets and/or papers


Preppy Nylon Pearl Tote (Taupe)
這個初時我是想買黑色的. 但現在都差不多夏天, 還背個黑沈沈的袋子看起來真熱, 所以買了另一顏色
這個袋還有一個好處是它的八達通套, 可以放入你的八達通然後"攝"在袋的旁邊, 也不怕會不見, 或每次上車要翻箱倒篋去找我的銀包
而且間隔也頗實用
但我今天沒有帶出來, 因為要帶的東西太多了, 裝不下.
我想明天會用的~

I was thinking of the black one but since summer is coming up, it just looks too chubby and hot in wearing a total black bag, so this taupe colour bag would definitely be one of my fave summer bag
and one good thing about this bag is that there is a little pouch to hold your octopus card and there is a little chain which you can easily track it when you try to take it out from your bag
Totally Turnlock Key Pouch
這個我是想送給媽媽的
母親節快要到了
但比我想像中沈色, 早知買綠色吧

this is a mother's day gift and i probably should have get a green one
this one looks a bit dull and boring

總括而言, 這次的購物也令人頗滿意
如果下次再有的話我也會想再買的 (!!)   購物狂就是這樣煉成的!!

and yes, this is a happy experience and i would definitely go to shopbop to shop again if any future sale (and it made me more addicted to online shopping!!)

以上.

[Daily Outfit] 我的Causal Friday*

哈哈又是我最喜歡的單元了*
Causal Friday!
這是一個上班族最喜歡的一天了
象徵著一個星期的最後一個工作天, 還有之後的兩個休息天(!!)
所以通常星期五的心情都是不錯的 (蹤使星期五準時放工的機會只有90%)

而星期五也穿得較悠閒
通常都會穿上sneakers, 讓自己可以走得舒服點
也覺得走得快點, 做東西的效率也會高點 (歪理!!)

言歸正傳, 談談我的outfit 吧
這天穿上之前在Uniqlo買的 Cath Kidston 系列 (見前文)
之前在forum上分享時, 有些sis說起這個系列實在是不修身
所以我買的時候已經是想'sip'地穿
這樣看起來起碼沒有那麼擁腫吧 :P
而腳上的是新歡 moonstar jaguar
好看且好穿
穿了幾雙converse的白布鞋後想找一些特別一點的白布鞋
上網看了的後發現了這雙
蠻特別而且又不會太多人穿
整條街的人也穿同一款鞋的感覺
讚!


以上.

gmarket blogger event*

一直以來, 寫blog於我說都係個人喜好
只說一些自己喜歡說的
只分享一些自己喜歡分享的
自知自己不是一些人氣blogger, 不會一天已有過千的人氣
所以當我收到公關公司的留言邀請我在gmarket blogger event中當一個ambassador的時候確有驚喜, 因為有時我有懷疑過是不是沒有人來看過我的blog?
那既然收到邀請就不如一去吧
一向以來, 我對gmarket的分享只限於我的朋友(哈哈每次聚會都用了很長時間討論online shopping :P)
Anyway, 就是這樣, 在上星期四, 我到了在QRE Plaza 的Habitat Lounge舉行的gmarket blogger聚會
也是我第一次參加這樣的活動

一進去, 已經在播韓文歌
說來真汗顏, 虧我還自誇自己是個真宅女, 但當天播的韓文歌我一首也不懂


那天的佈置很韓風
還有這些gmarket的cupcakes
看起來真可愛 :)


之後就開始食東西
和一些blogger mingle一下
其實我並沒有見過這些blogger
有的也只是在網上世界見過, 談談fashion/ gmarket

主持人宣佈開始時說了一些關於gmarket的一些資料
之後便看了一段gmarket的職員談論了一些gmarket的冷知識clip(而主持人告訴了這段clip會和之後的問答比賽有關的 :P)
哈哈就是下圖這個帥哥了


登登登...之後便輪到我和遊遊上台分享一些關於gmarket的東東
哎唷真是有夠緊張
天知道我從來都不喜歡public speaking的....
也算不過不失吧
不算太差也不是特別好 :P


跟著就有2個模特兒穿上gmarket的衣服走走貓步


之後,  便是一個小問答比賽
可惜,wifi太慢了...網頁都開不到...
所以只答到一題...

之後選了全場最韓風的人...
便是坐我隔壁的Carrie了~

活動完畢後我們還坐在lounge裡聊天
雖然在我坐的那一桌裡只有我是新來的但是其他bloggers也很友善
和她們聊天真是充滿著歡樂~


最後這就是拿回家的小小紀念品
看起來蠻好用的
不過還未有機會去用, 因為我還是很鐘情我的macquillge nail polish XD 已經用了一個多星期了還不捨得去換 :P

最後, 真的多謝公關姐姐給我這個機會去和大家分享我的購物經
因為以前都沒有這樣的經驗
也是一個蠻新鮮的一個嘗試吧

我下一個目標是寫一些gmarket的教學文~
希望真的可以教懂別人吧 :P
因為我真的覺得gmarket比淘寶好
起碼冇乜雷品呀

以上.

[movie] Morning Glory*



不能否認, 我對女生自強的故事的確是有點著迷的
可能是成長中看的故事/卡通/戲劇  太多
(可能是童年時美少女戰士看太多!)
還有中學大學的生活
種種種種, 都令我有點女權主義, 或這樣說, 是女生主義多一點
不是那些港男港女, 主外主內的那種
而是:
我是很相信那種"如果你用心做一件事, 就一定可以做好!"的主張
還有大群人為理想/ 目標而去出盡全力去做一件事的感覺

所以這次看完< morning glory >真的很開心
就像重拾那份感覺

我沒有寫過影評, 不會寫一齣戲的構造鋪排什麼的, 我的中文寫作也不是很好
我只想寫我看完這齣戲的感受

這齣就像我之前所說的
夢想和目標的故事

女主角Becky (Rachel McAdams) 是一個在一家小鎮的晨早節目工作的節目監製, 熱愛她的工作, 自知不是從一流學府畢業和沒有豐富工作經驗的她, 以她對工作的熱情, 每天first in last out的為工作, 怎知道公司laid off, 第一個便向她開刀.

回到家裡, 與母親對話, 她媽都不太讚成她的堅持, 說道, "You had a dream, that was great. When you were 8, it was adorable; when you were 18, it was inspiring; at 28, it’s officially embarassing.”
在我而言, 夢想才沒有早與遲之分, 只有懂/不懂得去實現的分別.  但站在媽媽的角度, 當然會擔心女兒的未來, 三餐溫飽, 等等.

我很欣賞女主角對夢想的堅持
誰說她傻? 誰說她笨?
學懂有理地堅持已是一門課了
最後是有成果的

令我想起以前的日子
是只有努力過的人食的果實才是最甜美的


我相信.
到現在仍相信.

uniqlo x cath kidston 之我買到喇!

病左成個星期終於都好番d...
睇左2次醫生食左成個星期藥...
終於喉嚨消左炎
趁尋日好番d就去左行下街(拍手!)

Caught sick for the past week and finally i am getting better (hurray!)
Went to see doctor twice and had taken medicine as per instruction for whole week long
As i got better yesterday i decided it's time for some shopping remedy (which may cure sickness better than medicine!)

之前係其他sis既blog度見到cath kidston會同uniqlo crossover tee已經想買
尋日終於去左睇~
因為星期一已經出左, 所以其實都已經冇乜款
但係見買2件會送多把摺扇
就買左2件

I have been seeing quite a lot of fascinating photos from various blogger about this whole "UNIQLO Crossover Cath Kidston" series and have been wanting to buy (at least something!) from the series
Although it was out on Monday and some items are limited (which the chance in getting one got smaller and smaller by day pass), I still went to the one at TST to try to hunt for their collection.
I have learnt from their notice that there will be a giveaway paper fan by the purchase of any two items
and as dumb as me would definitely go for a two-item-purchase
Below are the items that I have bought:



佢會跟番個collection去用紙袋幫你pack
花花~碎花 (我的最愛~)

They would pack your purchase by the collection you have chosen, and in my case, it is a Cath Kidston bag!  Full of floral print~ (my favourite pattern of all!)

就是買了這2件~
明天或後天補回穿搭照吧~
還是有點病容...
不太上鏡...

And below are the two tees that I managed to buy
I will try to update later with me in it
Since I still look a bit sick and tired, I would rather not putting my face here and not to scare people for good :P

這就是送的扇子了~
包裝得很可愛~

Here is the giveaway paper fan
Nicely wrapped : )

但是這個collection的tee也蠻蝦人著的.
像我有粗臂的人真是選了很久才買了這2件的...
快將夏天, 是時候要減減了...

But this collection made me look fat (or i have put on too much weight recently) with fat arms like me, I spent a long time figuring which tee would make me look the slimmest...
what a life!

以上.
