Massive massive thanks to everyone who emailed or contacted me lately asking how i have been.
Well..alas i dont have exciting news or reasons…i am..SICK. Yup down with the cold. Its been almost a week now and i think i am getting a bit better. So a massive thank you to everyone for their concern!!
Anyway..for those of you asking me to update my blog, here’s a random update of what i have been up to! [other than being sick]
New headphones
These are just for using with my laptop whilst i charge my cordless headphones. I prefer to wear cordless headphones when i am out and about.
Jill Stuart Store in Causeway Bay
I didnt go in as i have not moved to my permanent apartment yet. Trying not to buy too much till i move so i have less to move XD But i’ll be back in this store soon XD
Masks Galore
I know loads of you beauty bloggers have mad love for My Beauty Diaries masks…i like them too.
But does anyone have anything to say about the others available???
Random hairband store
I dont even know/remember where i took this photo XD
Speaking of random stores…Janet and the girls took me to a factory outlet recently
it sold a lot of disney goods
Including these uber cute Cinderella cases
Remember how i said we went for hotpot in my last post? This is the only photo i found hahaah
I swear there was wayyy more food than pictured!! We couldnt finish it in the end!
Speaking of food..i had this really good pho recently
This was in Elements [Kowloon]..forgot the name of the restaurant..sorry XD
Over in Olympic Park City [mall] they are beginning to put up the Chinese New Year Decorations
The ferris wheel is soo soo cute. Check out the workmen having a rest in the benches whilst its being assembled XD
I bought something chinese new year related tooo
Ok yes its Hello Kitty again…i swear i am not a huge hello kitty fan..there just seems to be a lot of it in Hong Kong
More food…went to dinner with Katherine, Gigi and Justina [girls from old work place]
North Garden Restaurant in Central
Some cake i bought from a random bakery…
Alas it didnt look as good as it tasted T-T
Not something edible but sweet nonetheless
Its a mini MTR farecard holder. Isnt it cute? I bought it from Mimo!
You know i love my bling….
XOXO yumeko
p.s does anyone know where i can buy premade curtains in Hong Kong? I am getting some custom made but they will take a week and i am moving next week! i need some premade ones to use..temporarily XD
p.p.s very behind on emails once again. i do apologise!! i will try to get to them soon!
p.p.p.s anyone reading this residing in Taiwan? Taipei specifically? I’m going there in March so if you wanna meet up, let me know!!
p.p.p.p.s LASTLY! i noticed new followers to the blog! thank you thankyou!!!! i promise to read your blogs and comments and reply when i get better <3
Hope you get to be 100% soon!
aw, too bad the cakes didn’t taste as good as they looked.
I didn’t like the mask from the green white box right below the MBD. I have another box from that brand to try before giving up on them.
Hi!
Yep, I was living in HK for the last few months but unfortunately moved now, over to the other side of the world! :/
Thanks for posting up pics, keeps me in touch with things back there. I always love the CNY decorations, especially at Ocean Terminal in TST. Though every year they differ, i never know what to expect.
Premade curtains? Maybe IKEA in Causeway? That’s the first place I can think of, dunno if that helps.
Btw, where is that factory outlet? seems neat!
Get well soon!
I miss your posts. I’m glad you are doing okay and hope you get back to 100% soon. I gotta stop by the Jill Stuart Store in Causeway Bay when I’m in HK next time. I’m madly in love with sheet masks especially MBD and Silk Whitia brands. I spy BeautyMate masks. I ordered 4 box (7 masks per box)of their masks to try from Sasa online. I got it for $7US, the quality is not bad. There seems to be a lot of hair accessories stores in HK. I love browsing around the factory outlet store, I brought 2 HK jewelery cases from there. Your food porn pics are making me hungry:D
P.S You have gorgeous eyes<3
hi yumeko! sending you loads of hugs from manila to make you feel better! ^___^ im definitely going to that Jill Stuart store when i go to HK, i missed it last time! (i know, how stoofid of me! hehehe)
Aw I hope you feel better soon. Remember to drink plenty of fluids!
Oh my I’m drooling over everything in this post! The headphoens are especially awesome! They remind me of Dragonball Z
I haven’t tried many other asian masks except MBD, so I can’t say if anything else is good. 2:
I’ll eat anything with the word “cake” in it! xD All those food photos are making me so hungry too!
CANT WAIT!!! All this is just temptation. xxxxxxxxxx mad love for you lol
Hi!!looks like you’re having fun in HK….so want to go there during the chinese new year…and you got the mix-style headphone….:D
Hurray for moving? Does this mean you’ve found a more permanent apartment? HURRAY!!!
I hope you are feeling better soon! Are you depleting your Nyquil stocks?
I’m getting the run-down-pseudo-sick feeling but I’m hoping it will resolve itself once I can get some more sleep… except I’m back at work this weekend :S
I LOOOVE the headband store. It is so hard to get cute ones here that don’t cost an arm and a leg (for a headband) and I am too lazy to try going through GMarket at the moment. Haha. And the factory store! Kelsie would DIE with the Stitch stuff, but of course I love the pink Cinderella cases. They seem much more sophisticated than what you would see in a Disney store here (but perhaps that is because Disney stuff is not targeted to adults here).
Can’t help you with the masks, I only started using the MBD ones on the strength of you, Yasumi, and Mona’s recommendations, haha.
The HK stickers are adorable!!
Talk to you soon, I hope <3
Yumeko!!!I got worried about you after I read your tweet saying you were sick cos after that you went awol. Hope you get better soon!! the air in HK is really hard to adjust to.
Omg, I’m doing a mental currency exchange from your photos n Beauty Diary Masks are less than $7 a box in HK T.T and here I’m paying $10-$15 a box!
With regards to which masks to try, I quite like the Lifecella, Za, and Silk Whitia ones, you can find them at Sasa.
I just wanna know how you get around in HK, do you just speak English to everyone? xD or do you have some secret knowledge of Cantonese?
get well soon Yumeko, it’s a pity you catch the cold…hope it will be gone sooner!
lolz HK bakery rarely care about the presentation of the cakes, but they do taste yummy, we have one down in the chinatown here too, lookwise it’s bleh but tastes very yummy!
I’m glad you’re getting better!! Hmm don’t know much about those other brands of masks…I always walk right past them haha.
Let me know where the outlet place is…i spot lots of cute stuff! :]
oh my, i wanna try that hot pot, is it super spicy?
Not fair, not fair, MBD mask at HK is way too cheap in M’sia drugstore, which might probably be the double price or so….
glad youre doing okay!! oh, the cinderella, love it!!
Happy New Year Yumeko! Omedeto!! on your move to HK!
i just got back from my Christmas & 2010 NewYear holidays from HongKong
hehe nice to see some stores i’ve visited in your post!
oooh dun you dare missed out JillStuart@Times Square
so many food photos yummmmm!
peek-a-boo behind your phone~~
you looked gorgeous with the bright Hair & luvv luvv your eye makeup!
Hee hee…love all your “P.S”. Have you tried Sewame masks? They were my first love.
you are too cute with all your P.S’s! Girl, I missed HK!!! I have seen so many beauty masks there too and I don’t know which ones work as well aside from the My Beauty Diary masks
Hope you feel better.
YUMEKOOOOOO!!! goshdarnit i miss you
Hi Yumeko, thanks for you picture heavy posts =^~^= Hong Kong shopping is, of course, cheaper but unfortunately when I went back last June I had no money, but next time I go back, you should take me shopping since my Euro is much higher
One brand of mask I know that is exclusive in Hong Kong is IsaWorkshop, I used some when I went back. This line is co-created by a former Miss Hong Kong, and it’s pricier, but if you want, check it out:
http://www.isaworkshop.com/product.php (site’s in English/Chinese)
i hope you get better fast!
the shopping/exploring in hong kong seems almost endless!
i want to go there someday~~
glad to hear you’re settling well in HK
lol lets meet up when i’m back in July ? :p
about the sheet masks galore, i haven’t tried the others. but i heard that O’slee sleeping masks seem to be great
glad that u are feeling okay now! (^^)
that new year decoration…there’s a tiger bus isnt it? haha
it reminds me of totoro’s the catbus.. HAHAHA!
Get better soon Yumeko dear!
I am completely jealous you’ve got access to a wide access of masks and Jill Stuart!! Such a pretty store.
I’m assuming since you’re moving next week, you’ve found an apartment? That’s great news! I hope the move doesn’t stress you out so much <3
eee the headphones are very popular or so i heard ^^ very cute,too bad its not wireless.and all ur foodie pics are making me hungry >.< get well soon ok yume-chan! haven't talk to you in awhile,sorry about that! ^.^ ~ loves <3
Hope you get better soon!
Cute iphone case, my friend bought me a similar blingy one, I never thought I would like the style but I love it so much!
Oh man.. I want to go to Hong Kong so bad! Would you ever want to live in North America? I want to move to Asia because everything there seems so much funner (and then move back here when I have kids so they can go to school here.. haha).
I love how the big headphones look but they always hurt my ears!
OMG. So many amazing pictures!!!! Wish I were there too! LOL!
hi yumeko, get well soon, hong kong is really a good place for shopping, there’s really loads of stuffs at affordable prices
love ur bling bling too and hope u’ll settle soon in HK 
you could try Xin Ji Mei Ren ( my scheming beauty)..they are not bad! XD
JILL STUART!!! <3 i would probably grab them when i see them haha!
ooh i love hotpot! but i usually like those with the barbecuing thingy attached with the hotpot kinds..hehe
good luck with the moving and take care!!!
It’s great to read another update from your adventure in Hong Kong, it looks sooo amazing. I would love to go to that outlet store with all the Disney merchandise. I got into Disney again since I went to the Tokyo Disney resort haha^^
The food looks amazing as usual, and that biscuit can hold a train card?? That’s sooo cute >3<
I hope you can find some temporary curtains, take care!
Have fun in Taipei! If things in HK are cheap – wait till u get to Tai Pei (the Japanese (including Jill Stuart which i think is manufactured there) and Taiwanese brands are even cheaper there), but not western brands like MAC etc.
Haven’t tried Silk Whitia (for whitening), but tempted to coz they’ve been having these on and off deals this past 1/2 year where you pay 1 dollar extra and get an extra box!
I have acne prone skin – so i use the green and white box of masks in that photo; below my beauty diary. i heard the gold packaging mask for that brand is pretty good too (i think the serum is thicker than MBD; and hence more moisturising).
Bioderma masks (not sheet masks) are really good for sensitive and dry skin, i have oily skin and it was not greasy but supermoisturising on dry days. Hope that helps.
yes i do find things in taipei cheaper XD i havent been there in a year! love the food there!
i havent tried silk whitia either! i keep hearing some friends with problems using them hence i am being a little chicken abt it.
your mask reviews totally help! i feel a bit more gutsy trying at least one of those now <3
Yeah i’m a big fan of Taipei, and Taiwan generally (the food!) – i was just comparing photos with my fam minutes ago, to see who ate what lol, as i went in the summer and they after new years.
oh and get well soon, the weather is dipping again this weekend!
thank you T-T
Yay they have JILL STUART in Hong Kong – have to check it out when I am there in April.
I would think IKEA(cuaseway bay) will have the pre-made curtain.
Hope you feel better and good luck moving into your new crib!
i went to ikea! loads of ppl suggested it heehee. i found some but not sure if they will fit but it will have to do for the time being heee
thanks for the wellwishes sweets!
feel better! I love those headphones, what brand is it?!
you’re adapting so quickly hk, except the getting sick part haha well it doesn’t count does it, cuz you get sick in japan too. I’m always too intimidated to enter those high end stores. My mom always tells me that the SA can tell if you’re buying or not. If you’re not buying, they are super rude.
Oh cute earphones :p and yummy food too !! I hope you’ll get better soon ! it seems like every blogger is sick these days :/
love the headphones! I want to get some cute swimmer ones for my laptop but have nooo idea where to buy those online!! Ebay probably, haha
i have a pair of swimmer ones but they are currently in transit on its way to me XD i forgot to pack them into my luggage during my move hence i bought new headphones [i know i am so silly] i think ebay sells swimmer! good luck!
hope you feel better~
i hear LOTS of good things about ?????masks. they just came out with a new triple moisturizing one that’s meant to be AMAZING!!
ack which masks are u referring to? got a link? i am soo curious! thanks for the wellwishes!!
I guess kanji doesn’t appear in the comments section =X
i mean the bihada ichizoku masks (http://www.lovelabo.co.jp/product/skincare.php)
yummi cakes!!
curtains…go to Ikea???
omg.. i love ur blog
it’s so cute. i just found this blog from sarah maries blog
i want to go to hk now
teehee of course!!! ^ ^ CNY is the biggest holiday for me…and i usually haul on alot of clothes!!..hehe hope you will enjoy the cny atmosphere in hk!!
you can try spotlight its this home depot/craft store in megabox kowloon bay i think i remember they had a curtain area
thanks for the tip but it seems this store has shut down T=T
Wahhh Yumeko-san!!! ;A; I hope you get well soon! Take lots of fluids (preferably ginger ale) and get lots of sleep! >_____>), but I do recommend the MAC 217, 239, and 266. I’m not very sure if you’ve tried those two, but the 217 is very good for blending, the 239 for packing eyeshadow and even loose pigments on your lids, and the 266 for a precise cream/gel liner application, as well as for filling up your brows
Hope that helped and take care of yourself! ^_^ I’ll be praying for you!
Shopping and Food Heaven!!
Love the bling..you get well SOON!
Hope you’re settling well into HK!! =D How are you finding the language? When I went I had some difficulties buying cosmetics as the girls didn’t really speak a lot of English ><
But wow, you're so lucky! A JS shop!!! I want to go! And all the yummy food and cakes, and cheap goodies! Ahhhh~~!!
I really love the bling on your iPhone too. Inspires me to get my iPhone kitted out too, but I'm worried that the stickers will fall off!!
P.S. Sorry to hear about your cold!! Chinese people always drink water boiled with ginger! It’s really good for you. Actually we all swear by Pepsi boiled with ginger. You literally just dice ginger and drop it in pepsi in a pan, and bring it to the boil, and simmer for a little while. =P I swear if I drink it I feel much better already! Sounds gross, but give it a try!
New reader here. Looooooov your mtr card holder. Argh, they have a website. Too bad they don’t do online orders.
Oooh wait, think there’s hope for me yet.
they do ^^ http://www.mimomart.com/ but its for the mini mtr card. so remember to check your measurements to see if it fits ur normal card ^^
by the way, can’t find your post on the Tsuyagla anymore. Based on your post, I bought it! How long does it take to do your whole head?
ah i was getting too much spam comments on it so i made the entry private XD
it takes me about 15mins ^^
thanks for visiting! I’ve actually been reading your blog for a while…I don’ think I ever commented though xD
But I love your blog entries, they’re really interesting!
And the food looks delicious! It’s making me hungry lol

Work is kicking my butt lately, I have to work on Saturday to finish all my work:( That’s why I haven’t been posting:( My dad is slowing getting better. Thanks for asking. I hope you are feeling better by now. Good luck with moving and unpacking at your new permanent apartment:)
