Just a grrl

It's true, Anson Chan is coming out and proposing democratic time lines, Regina Ip is being bitchy about it, and Donald Tsang promises to "Do his job" which really only includes sucking up the Beijing and giving lots of tax back to Hong Kong people next year to keep everyone happy since we have trillion dollars of reserves. But really, in the last few days I only had a few thoughts on my mind.

1) Packing
2) Packing
3) Cancelling all cable, phones, long distance services
4) Cleaning
5) Getting curtains, shoes, and whatever I need made here before going to a place where labour is really expensive.
6) Buying Gifts
7) Need to find time to say good bye to friends.
8) H&M is opening a Hong Kong store and they are giving away 20 signed trench coats signed by Madonna, and 50 Sunglasses from her line free to the first 70 people in the store.
9) How early do I have to get up to line up with the hope in hell for a chance being one of those people not to mention being able to purchase a $1499 ($130 US) dollar leather jacket.

We have discussed this a lot with people, and everyone says that there is no way I would be able to do it, and people are going to line up really early. So at about 1am on my way home I walked past the store just to see and already there are about 30 people waiting, all looking not so comfortable squished up against the railings.

So I am off to bed a little sad. But probably will still get there about midday, to see if I can try the jacket on.

It's also true that I once flew from Milan to London just to see the Drowned Tour in 2001. I went to visit friends as well, but really I choose to go to London when I did mainly due to the fact, I always wanted to see a Madonna concert.

I love that woman, she's so stylish. It would be very cool to get some stuff that's been approved by her, coz I figure there would be some kind of quality to it. I could go on about the genius of H&M, their clothes, and marketing campaigns but it's really not so interesting if one is not as into fashion as i.

There is so much more to do in the next few days and I am off.

This morning, on the way to get more things done, I stopped by the H&M to see what the situation was! My goodness there were so many people lining up for 5 blocks! I was just in time to see the first people go in, and I have to admit the excitement was a lot of fun to see. The woman who came in first was extremely happy and she was waving her special jacket at the journalists. I off course didn't go in, knowing the best inventory will probably be gone by the time I got there, anyway there were a lot of things to do. One of which was the visit the Dr. Sun Yat Sen Museum by my neighbourhood. Which really is more important. There are lots of H&Ms in the world, but only one museum dedicated to the importance of Hong Kong to Dr. Sun Yat Sen's political development and revolutionary ideals for the modern China.
