We've just entered partial lockdown in HK, so will probably spend a lot of time here for the next 2 weeks lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-2022-life-update#post-2246468 Mon, 03 Jan 2022 20:17:59 +0000 Anonymous 2246468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay- congrats on the new place! Great view! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-2022-life-update#post-2246454 Mon, 03 Jan 2022 19:29:58 +0000 Barbara Diane 2246454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a wonderful idea/substitute. Fireworks were cancelled here, but we saw a few illegal ones at Christmas-I have to admit that it was a nice surprise to look out our window and see a few without getting stuck in traffic for hours. Luckily I didn't hear of any injuries from them-something I worry about with unofficial ones.<br />How very exciting to be in your own place-a big milestone. Congrats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-2022-life-update#post-2246347 Sun, 02 Jan 2022 20:10:02 +0000 Jenni NZ 2246347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are gorgeous pics thank you!

I remember hearing they weren't going to do fireworks at all, but then we heard what sounded like fireworks (they added sound effects!) &amp; had to lean over to check it out! </p> <p>@avicennia @Bijou @Angie @StagiareFash<br /> Thank you - it's quite a big step, so I've been fairly nervous about it. But I'll be turning another year older this month, so I'm also fairly excited to host a joint birthday/ housewarming event for it </p> <p>@Angie<br /> It would be lovely to have a HK YLF meet-up (if you do manage to make it back here!)<br /> Meanwhile, I've been trying to get *out* of Hong Kong for 2+ years now - oh, the irony! I do feel your pain though - the lengthy quarantine is what's stopped me from seeing my family back home too But I try to remind myself that not visiting yet to keep them safe, as much as it is for my convenience... Patience... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-2022-life-update#post-2246281 Sun, 02 Jan 2022 14:24:16 +0000 Helena 2246281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zaeobi, you are a fabulous Fabber!!

Here's hoping we're all granted more happiness &amp; health in 2022, &amp; less COVID *ahem* ;)</p> <p>The NYE countdown here usually happens around Victoria Harbour, which is the waters between Kowloon &amp; Hong Kong Island (&amp; probably the most light polluted part of HK, lol). They have a light show every evening but the NYE &amp; Chinese New Year shows tend to be special, with fireworks etc. </p> <p>Unfortunately they did not have any fireworks this year But imagine our surprise to see the multiple buildings in that area coordinated an LED firework lights display instead! This is our first NYE in the new place - shot this from our balcony, where you can also see Lion Rock, another famous HK skyline addition (on the Kowloon side). Facing east means we get the sunrise too, which makes me happy - natural light! </p> <p>Anyway, just wanted to share some photos from the new place, because it's a big milestone for me (first time living alone with DH - stayed with my in-laws for years before this)! We found this place in October, but moved ourselves in November (stocking a kitchen from scratch is hard work!), &amp; are now *finally* started to feel settled (in January!) We still don't have a TV, but baby steps yet, lol...</p> <p>I've mentioned that I have a 'smaller' closet here (shallower but taller), but I've already done some purging &amp; am finding it amazing to be able to *see* everything at once without bumping into people (no more cavernous hallway closet!) And we have a proper, wall-attached mirror now - so except to see more of my OOTDs/ WiWs this year! </p> <p>--- </p> <p>PS - I believe this is my first time posting to the Off-Topic forum (I keep forgetting it exists, which probably explains most of my previous thread hijacks - doh!) Sorry if you've been a victim of this in the past - my 2022 resolution will be to rehabilitate &amp; reform myself from 'menace to YLF society' to 'upstanding Fabber' </p>
