I had so much fun doing this and putting this together. Additionally, it was also a great time to bust out the famous Lips clutch (by Lulu G of course)! Woo! Enjoy xx

Well, it is that time - festival time!!! Am so in the mood for Caochella this year, but sadly won't be able to make it. Darn it. So, this is just a snap shot of how I would've been or felt if I were going....... But all the same, I hope the sun will be shining here too, like Frank said....
I needed you here to be my sunshine in London town. California's had more than it's fair share. You left me to these small skies, and to rain-soaked concrete, To Morrissey and Robert Smith and complicated streets....

This year marks the 125th year of racing in Hong Kong - Race Day: Sunday 13th December. The turnout was huge and the opening ceremony, very grand. There were gymnasts, a performance by famous acrobat Cai Yong (who performed for Barack Obama not too long ago) among the line-up.
The races did not start till lunch time but thought it a good idea to take in the scenery and some shots when all's calm. My hosts and I were given a table in the Champions Circle on the top floor overlooking the race course. The weather was a stunning 22 degrees. As a punter, of course I did bet. My luck turned BIG during race 4 when I bet on horse No.13, Daryakana who is one of the Aga Khan's horses. It was a long race and the horse was trailing behind for the most part but came good in the end. It was nail biting!
What a brilliant end to the trip and at the end of the fifth race, I bid good-bye to my hosts and the friends I had made during my stay. I was chauffeured to the airport courtesy of HKJC reminiscing on the last few days. Shame to be leaving warmer climes but also missing home and the excitement in the lead up to Christmas!
