The walking and shopping in Hong Kong really has no limits.
Yes… one can just walk and walk and walk, from sunrise to sunset,
and from sunset to sunrise.. and yet, we can keep on walking.
And in Causeway Bay (銅鑼ç£), the shopping malls are like growing mushrooms.
To a point I almost got lost. Yes, me.. like a little girl.. got lost.
Then again, who can blame me. The malls here are quite small and packed.. but up to many levels.
From Times Square (æ™‚ä»£å»£å ´) to Hysan Place (å¸Œæ…Žå»£å ´), the shopping experience never ends. And we all know the shopping mall competition is simply crazy. So standing out is crucial.

What I love most and got my attention is the lifts. Sounds crazy?
Totally not! The designs seems normal from near, with protruding pebbles.. but it actually forms some kinda pop art style portrait!
Oh.. I totally heart it!
So yes, how can I not pose? LOL!
And yes, who says shopping in causeway bay is limited to malls. Shopping never ends there.
For sure the saying of “the night is still young” applies 365 days for Causeway Bay.

Right after the shopping craze, we continued to venture around.
And no one can believe what we bump into! *shocked*
Haha.. I found this waxed items such as ducks, chinese sausages that dad totally love!
If only I can bring all of this back.. I think dad will be jumping up and down. Hehe *doink doink doink*
I used to wonder and doubt.. what makes this place so famous?
Why? Why Times Square?
Is it a given because of the name it carries?
I guess location plays a big role.
But what makes it a place to visit even if shopping is the last thing in your list or mind, is the events and display.
They just never fails to house interesting activities or events. Yes, something malls should learn and take note about.
And guess what I found? I was walking around and notice this..
Right, was coincidently in Hong Kong and celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Hong Kong handover.
And now, I once again.. coincidently landed myself in Hong Kong.
This time, another 10th anniversary celebration.
Times Square is proud to present the Miss You Much Leslie Exhibition (繼續寵愛.åå¹´.音樂會) which marks the 10th anniversary of Leslie’s death. On the outside of the exhibition,  one can find a mini movie theater that housed many of Leslie’s legendary works.
The design of the exhibition is very interesting. At the outside of the mall, you can find a giant bling bling red ball sitting on top of the mini theater symbolizes the immortal light (Leslie’s charisma and spirit) will continue to shine brightly in his fan’s heart.
Audience can find scheduled Leslie’s legendary films, past interviews as well as interviews of some famous Hong Kong artistes and directors that used to work with Leslie. One can also see an array of movie posters and books from the earlier days of Leslie’s career.
The moment I hit the concourse… I was wow-ed. 😮
Yes, I seriously mean jaw dropping “wow” when I saw the 6 meter height statue.
Now tell me… who wouldn’t be shocked.
Look at the layers and the amount of detailing in place.
To be honest… I am more than just shocked. I was speechless!
This is a definate must pose in photo.
Seriously, it is not something you get to conveniently “coincidently bump into” event.
I kept wondering.. why red? why origami paper crane?
It’s obvious I wasn’t really a die-hard fans of Leslie. Apparently red is his favourite colour.
No idea why the paper crane.. probably it is a symbol of ‘peace’
The exhibition is simply awesome as it also house a new Guinness World of Records for having the most origami created for a cause. Fans folded and collected more than 1 million paper cranes.
The original goal was to achieve 1,956,912 cranes to signify his birthday on 12th September 1956. However, the judges from Guinness World of Records confirmed that there were only 1,900,119 cranes were collected. The memorial origami are displayed at the large transparent red archway behind the large statue of Leslie’s.
There were also a few red 1:1 scale statues with classic styles and pose of Leslie placed around the exhibition areas which also displayed awards that he received during his singing and acting career. One can hear Leslie’s famous songs on the background while enjoy spotting Leslie’s notable concert costumes.
How long did I spent walking around the Miss You Much Leslie’s Exhibition?
You really want to know?
Hmm.. I would probably tell, after a good cup of coffee 😀
