Under such condition, Kota Kinabalu is almost like a heaven for me. We booked two air tickets to KK about half a year ago. (Thanks to Asia Air, their unbelievable attractive prices make this trip work----1200 yuan for two round-way tickets, can you believe it?) Twenty days later, I could sit on the deck of beach house, doing nothing more than watching the turquoise waves roll onto the blindingly white sand and listening to the muted roar of water coming in and going out. The mere thought of it made the present frozen day more bearable. I am not an idle person, but surely I would cherish every lazy moment in that faraway country, where even the haze of atmosphere between heaven and earth has thinned. The fact that I have never set feet outside China makes this tip a kind of big for me. Therefore, I made full preparation for this trip---namely, shopping a lot. That is another advantage of travel, to give you excuses for shopping---as if I really need them, but any way it helps when guilt of spending concerned. Let me see, what have I bought so far? 

• SHISEIDO  Anessa Sun block cream SPF50+ / PA+++, Which is highly recommended by fashion forum. Everything has its own disadvantages, I enjoy sunshine, but I hate to get tanned.
• After-sun facial Mask, You can’t be more careful in sun protection
• Bikini, a must item for beach, isn't it?
• A REBECCA TAYLOR dress and a CHARLOTTE RUSSE top. I ordered them at taobao, they are a little tight. If I could lose several pounds, they would be great. But how could I achieve a mission impossible?  55555
• A large suitcase. My old one is too small for this trip, so I bought a bigger one. It is gorgeous, it is shining, and it is pink! When the package delivered, my husband looked at it in disgust. “Pink, you bought a pink one?” he cried in disbelieve: “Never except me to touch such a thing.” Yeah, perhaps pink is too much for his male ego, but I love it, so sue me.
• Canon IXU110, I wanted it for some time and now I have a perfect reason.
