<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.timskitchen.com.hk/" target="_blank">Tim's Kitchen</a> on Bonham Strand, Sheung Wan</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is a must-visit if you ever find yourself in Hong Kong,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
if only for the "Steamed Whole Fresh Crab Claw with Egg White".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, remember, to call one day in advance to order the crab claws.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What I am loving ... Gucci's window.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not much of a fan of Gucci.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, this time, I have to say that I am loving the dresses</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that are on display in their window in Central!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The drapery on that short dress on the left is simply enchanting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The long one would be perfect for niece's graduation ball ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
bling-y and simple.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If it weren't for the hefty price tags ... </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What I am loving ... the Christmas spirit!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am one of those people who, more often than not, wears black.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is because I am too lazy </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to plan my outfits in advance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually decide what to wear a few minutes before I leave for the office.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been like this forever</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which is why I decided years ago</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to fill my wardrobe with black.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been told to wear some colour many, many times.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, in celebration of this yuletide season,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've taken to brightening up the look.</div>
<br />

Red bead and ribbon necklace from RR</div>

RR, CM and I were putting the finishing touches</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on my Christmas decor at home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, we are as festive as ever!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So festive that I threw a dinner party on Sunday night.</div>

What I am loving ... after a long wait ... </div>
<div align="center">
I finally got my Wa'ko-ni!</div>
<div align="center">
I was shopping with my friend JG</div>
<div align="center">
who was looking for an anniversary gift for his wife MG.</div>
<div align="center">
Our first stop was the Hermes shop at Lee Gardens in CWB.</div>
<div align="center">
I was so speechless when I saw this Indian lady </div>
<div align="center">
smiling at us as we entered the shop!</div>
<div align="center">
JG got one in blue-violet or MG.</div>
<div align="center">
And, I got one in red-orange for myself.<br />

<div style="border-collapse: collapse; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">What I am loving: turning something old into new!</span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I bought a one-bedroom apartment in Makati (Philippines) a few months ago.</span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">It was pretty old-fashioned but I super-loved</span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">the space and the big windows.</span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">It screamed "lots of potential" to me.</span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I asked my architect-cousin to gut it completely.</span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I just got the pictures and am so excited to share ... and to see</span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">the place in person.</span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The best way to see how far we've gone</span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">is to compare the before and after pictures.</span><br />

What I am loving ... a rose on my wrist.<br />
This is not mine.<br />
This is my friend TB's new watch.<br />
It's a gift from her dear hubby AB.<br />
I am in Switzerland at the moment.<br />
The land of chocolates and watches.<br />
It just seemed to be the right time to make this post!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What I am loving ... my 2 Birkins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I only have 2 so it's not really a collection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The problem is this: since I got into Birkins,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't seem to get excited with the "others".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am not being a snob.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of the reasons is that I have no moolah</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
since I just bought a flat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The other reason is that I am content with these 2</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and my white St Louis tote.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, after 2 years of daily abuse, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my Goyard was in ICU. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then, this morning, my breakfast of fruits</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
spilled into bag. Terrible.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
R.I.P. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Though I have no moolah, I do need to get myself an</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
everyday bag: light-weight, versatile, and can fit all my stuff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Any ideas?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

What I am loving ... the quiet life I've been living recently. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've hardly been travelling.<br />
I have not been blogging.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's great to be grounded.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so excited about various little projects of mine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will talk about those in the future.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the meantime, here's a small "reveal".</div>

After my place was featured <a href="http://www.desiretoinspire.net/blog/2012/5/30/readers-home-hong-kong.html" target="_blank">here</a>,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got a message from the friendly people of IKEA's new digital magazine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, you will be seeing me there soon!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If, like me, you have discovered the wonders of IKEA </div>

What I am loving ... the things I can buy at Ikea.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am hosting a baby shower for a very dear couple.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And, I have been obsessing about an elegant yet inviting food spread.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These are the materials I scored after spending two hours </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in Ikea Causeway Bay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Frankly, the crowd there was overwhelming.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What I am loving ... my new coffee table by Warren Platner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Warren Platner (1919-2006), an American,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
studied architecture in Cornell,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
worked with Eero Saarinen and I.M. Pei,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and rose into prominence in the 1960s.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In 1966, Knoll started producing an entire line of Mr Platner's </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
steel wire and glass furniture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It continues to do so to this day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the way the steel gently curves ...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so much softness in an element which can be so hard and unyielding.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is one piece that I know I will enjoy for the rest of my life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's timeless. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What I am loving ... <a href="http://www.desiretoinspire.net/blog/2012/5/30/readers-home-hong-kong.html">desire to inspire!</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been an avid reader of Jo and Kim's blog for a long time now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a treasure trove of design ideas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aside from the work of noted design experts, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they also regularly feature contributions from their readers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their pets on furniture posts are so heartwarming.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wrote them two weeks ago with pictures of my Hong Kong flat</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I am so thrilled that they made this post on 30 May.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many thanks, Jo and Kim! </div>

What I am loving ... my Hermes wallet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use this everyday ...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
even when travelling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love that it has two compartments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One for my main currency the HK dollar </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and another for whatever foreign currency I am carrying on any given day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the moment, I have some Thai Baht leftover </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from my just-concluded 6-day holiday in enchanting Thailand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, I even brought my wallet to the beach!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are also enough slots for credit cards, IDs, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is a small purse inserted as well </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for whatever special stuff that you need to keep with you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perfect for someone like me who does not</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
like to change wallets.</div>

What I am loving ... my feature wall.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I was preparing to move to my new apartment,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I read a number of design magazines</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I was visually impressed by feature walls.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For my dining room, I chose to have a fashion wall.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
10 beautiful Richard Avedon pictures </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
chosen and framed by my friend Kurt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(who styled the whole flat)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What I am loving ... my Daytona.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got this three years ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am glad I did then as watches, like everything else,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
are getting more and more pricey as we go along.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like the symmetry of it's face.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also think that 40mm is the biggest case that my wrist can carry.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got this, my very first Birkin, in 2009.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At that time, this was my favorite color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It still is ... and I think fuschia is such an iconic color.</div>
