i'm gone for almost a week. did anyone realize it? no?? i thought so. for anyone who is curious, i went to hong kong again. didn't spend as much as i would've liked but i got some nice things.
now for the main story. during the one free day in hong kong, me, my mom and my cousin went to West Kowloon Shopping Center to walk around. my uncle informed us of the many wholesale shops there but i was very disappointed by that trip. even though there is this whole section devoted to selling cute things (looks kinda like far east plaza level one), the shopping place still falls short of what we have locally.
there was this small square of a place that sold lego. lots of lego. they only sold lego. and while we were mauling over which bracelet to buy at the shop besides it, i happen to glanced at the dark displays. and to my surprise, there is the fully assembled lego pirate ship that had caught both me and my bro's eye for years now. there is only like 1 other place in singapore that sells it and there it is, in my face, in all it's plastic Caribbean glory. right above of the epic boat, there stood boxes and boxes of lego chess. complete with the chessboard and pieces, it would've been a perfect xmas present for my bro. reason one: he loves lego. reason two: he loves chess. here's the deal. the shop opens at 4pm. and we were there around 1pm. mom ain't wasting time on the shop and shooed us back to shop around our hotel. poor bro.
now if only the lego shop in taka has either sets...
