Trucker Cap
For those who are my friends, yes you, since you're reading this - you know I never like wearing hat because to me I don't look good wearing one. I thought that I had long given up on the search until today when I came across this trucker cap in a street market on Fa Yuen Street! I know it was a trendy item long ago and I never gave it much thought. I was very attracted to the black and white contrast and its simplicity. The white foamy part in front retains its shape, balancing my big head and the cap. Finally I have found a cap that I think I look good in. Don't you think so? Oh yeah, did I mention the price? HK$18/CAD$3

Recent Obsession - TEE
uniqlo//1000 yen/HK$79
After seeing the TEASE exhibition//J's tee design//tee for Chlo~, I have been digging everything about TEEs and prints. A blank TEE serves as a blank canvas and it offers infinite possibilities. I have yet to make a print on my own, though I have gone through a lot of tees in the last couple of days on my shopping trips.

Patterns Patterns Patterns
I can't help but notice the variety of patterns and colours on the jockeys' costumes during the races. Pictured below is a wallpaper printed with these small costumes and of course I took a snapshot of it.

Racecourse in Shatin
The Parade Ring + Retractable Roof
Before each race the horses come out of the rooms (below the screen) to the Parade Ring for a quick review. Then the horses are led to the gates on the racecourse in preparation for the race.
Horse Racing Sunday
Heading to the Start
Horse racing has always been a popular activity or hobby in Hong Kong that appeals very much to the gamblers in all of us. It is a little bit of stereotyping, but consider the popularity of Mah Jong and you will know what I mean. As for this Sunday, after breakfast at Paris Cafe, we were on our way to the Racecourse for the very first time!
There are two racecourses in Hong Kong, one in Happy Valley (HK Island) and the one that opened today is in Shatin (New Territories). From September to June is the racing season. Of course, before the racing season ends this month, I ought to experience the largest spectator sport in Hong Kong AND the excitement that only watching live races can bring.
Unlike 649 or Mark Six (HK), Horse Racing takes on a different type of betting experience. The variables are very well documented in newspapers and HK Jockey Club website. The races are broadcasted live on TV and Radio.
Placing some bets and watching the races is a lot of fun but do not get addicted!
