This week has been made me a shopaholic.

As stepping into another month – October, and excited about my working colleagues’ birthday gathering on last Sunday, I’ve decided to do some makeover for myself.

It’s kinda staged process, I’ve been window shopping for days to find the right style for me. Donno what, I’ve no idea on what apparel, maybe coz’ the unchanged season here in Hong Kong, just don’t feel like buying something that I could not wear comfortably.

I decided to do the hair-restyle first, thought that I might get the idea afterwards. I asked my hairstylist to do the extreme one — colour my hair into red-brown and into the cut whatever he thinks good. It had been a 2-days process to do my hair, I’ve coloured my hair for 2 times to make the final style.

So the hair is done, but so what? I still have no idea on what style should change into. Why not move onto that b’day gathering? I decided to order a very special birthday cake for my friends. Do you ever know the Singaporean cake-shop chain Awfully Chocolate? I know about them when they open the first shop in Hong Kong, and now is the chance for me to try out how “awful” their cakes are. I ordered Rum and Dark Cherry Chocolate Cake. I will let you know how it tastes later in this article.

How about some presents? I want things special, so I decided to order a bag from overseas, over at American Apparel, and get it delivered straight to the lucky one, by express.

With every things’ for the birthday ready, turn the angle back to myself. I finally walked by a shoe store, saw that new Marc Ecko line that has been mentioned by mags. With the salesman pushed and pushed I bought two pairs of Marc Eckos, one for pairing long pants, one for pairing shorts.

During the time I’m also actively considering to grab a pair of eyeglasses for fashion, however I have to make this decision very carefully coz’ I don’t wanna to spend money to buy something that will use rarely. The eyeglasses must easy to meet my style, comfortable and economic to me.

Now it the day for the birthday gathering. It’s a karaoke party and I can only join the rest after work. I woken up early for the day and went out to Causeway Bay to grab the cake first, right before head to work. Luckily my SBUX shop had been quiet for whole day, this allows me more free time to do prepare works, and do less after closing.

Me and my colleagues rushed after closing and able to head to the party quickly. Once there, we quickly got the cake out to try. It tastes absolutely wonderful, the rum and chocolate blend together perfectly, along with pieces of real cherry. It’s not that “full” feeling after eating it, so you’d able to eat more than any other similar chocolate cakes.

Afterwards it’s just sing-alongs all the time, everyone sang happy but me. I need to try to sing their Chinese tracks as I’m really know no much such tracks. And I needed to struggle to find my English tracks. Up until about 4.30am, guys were getting sleepier and it’s only me left awake singing (or mumbling) those English tracks alone.

5.30am, everyone’s got to go, and I was lying deep down on the sofa and need The Climb up to make me awake. I paid for the night and headed back to the workplace for some breakfast. I was a bit down at that time thinking what I’ve done so far…

Did I really silly to do so much, for nothing?

Who knows.

Wishes the birthday ones happy and enjoyed the night.
