If you are in HK to shop, the best time is definitely on the tail end of Chinese new year – as mentioned before, the sales are excellent, and it’s not too busy as everyone heads off to the mainland to celebrate.

If you go to Ocean Park, I would advise against setting a whole day aside – there aren’t that many things to see and unless the queues for the rides are long it will not take a whole day for you to see everything. The bus service from Admiralty is very convenient.
