I spent December totally busy preparing for markets and such, and once those were over my mind was only focused on my holiday!
I went to Hong Kong and stayed at my aunt's apartment for 2 weeks for an awesome shopping + eating trip! I had already been before but I haven't been on holiday for so long that it was definately overdue. Unfortunately I went alone, as my significant other couldn't get time off work. Luckily, some of my friends were also travelling so we could meet up. 
We visited all of the best shopping locations, including markets where already-cheap fashions can still be bargained down in price, and huge shopping complexes totally filled with every designer brand a girl could want! Ahhh.. it was delightful!
Not to be missed of course, were tourist destinations such as The Peak, Ocean Park and Macau. The Venetian casino/hotel was amazing! Absolutely huge and packed with hardcore gamblers even in the afternoon. ^_^ Of course I had to try my hand, and came out with winnings to cover my day's costs! heheh 
For those who will be travelling to Hong Kong, these are some must-visit shopping locations:- Flower Street Market (Fa Yuen Gai) <-- latest fashions for the cheapest prices!
- Women's Market (Lui Yan Gai) <-- lots of gadgets and fakes and fashions but MUST bargain!
- SOGO, Times Square and Harbour City <-- brand shopping heaven!
anyways i ended up getting myself LOTS of clothes, filling up my suitcase and being 20kg over weight so freighting that back to Perth.. hehe :) I also ate ALOT since the food was so cheap and tasty!! yum yum!
Now.. to snap out of holiday mode and start preparing for the Oxford St Market (Leederville) on Sunday [edit. oops - its Saturday!], and the Perth Upmarket in March!!!
As for Valentines Day, I had a great evening out with Jeff. We ate at the SunMoon restaurant in Scarborough. The food and atmosphere were lovely. We spent a little time together at the South Perth foreshore where we could see the ferris wheel lit up beautifully and drove over to see if we could take a ride to see the Perth City views from a height. All in all, a lovely evening that could not have been better. ^_^

Hi janey - this is Annie 17 threads - you put Ox St on Sunday, but it's Saturday... I've done 5 markets & it's improved a lot. It was full last week, great DJ played good music all day & there is now a really nice vibe. The other week one of the other stallholders asked where you were cos she wanted to buy something she'd seen last time you were there. Little Design Horse - they are there most weeks & have a shop in Angove St. I didn't know you were away - glad you had a good time.
