Come October, we would be shifting from Kowloon to Hong Kong island to become Happy Valleyers.
The most notable landmark in Happy Valley (跑马地) is the Happy Valley Racecourse where horse racing takes place every Wednesday night. It's a small suburb that is not so infested with people yet armed with amenities at a stone's throw. Give me a fresh produce market, supermarket, post office, eateries and I'm happy.
The deal is done, we have gotten ourselves a walk-up apartment (checked!) which is an old crumbly building built in 1974 (checked!). Luckily for us, the nostalgia ends after climbing up the mosaic-tiled staircase. The flat interior was newly renovated, bright and fitted with a modern open kitchen (checked!).
It doesn't have any furniture other than a wardrobe, so we got an almost clean slate to work on. Yippee! I love styling homes! But it's not going to be easy because of the fact that it is for short-term stay, I need to strike a balance between budget and wants.
I suggested to Mr. LTC that we should blow up and frame some pictures we took. After shooting for more than a year, I struggled when selecting my "hall-of-fame-worthy" photos. Struggled not because I'm spoilt for choice but because I can't find a pièce de résistance.
Well, here are some of my shortlisted pictures...Coincidentally, they are all taken in Paris.
Perhaps it's not Facebook that I'm putting photos in now, so I may be setting the bar up high. But this exercise reminds me that the everytime I hold my camera, I should aim for a pièce de résistance.
