I fell asleep in Starbucks.



DAY 2 

So today was yet another very hectic dayy.. I was meant to renew my HK ID and China visa card but that didn't happen. The booking was full at the HK ID place and this consequently led to the failure attempt in renewing my China visa card (because my HK ID wasn't updated) despite having waited 2 and a half hours in the queue!!

oh ma gaad!

But it all got better after that, because I got to spend the rest of the day eating sushi and shopping at Sha Tin shopping Plaza. =))







Look at all this sushi! HEAVEENN!

During shopping, I was specifically on a hunt for Dollywink products! I always seen them around on the internet, but never in their actual form, so I got really excited when I saw a STASH of them sitting nicely on a promotion shelf in a Japanese department store. =))


I got the liquid eyeliner, pencil eyeliner, eyelash case and eyelashes in 'Natural Girly' No.3. I'll be doing a separate post on this once I've had a test on everything. =))




Other stuff I got included a Majolica Majorca Blush, a trio of Skinfood masks, a KATE green eyeshadow palette and a Japanese ViVi Magazine with Kana Nishino on the cover. =))

You know how I said in my last post that I wasn't suffering too much from jetlag? Well.. I take that back. haha. I was SO tired yesterday.. SO tired that I had to sleep for an hour in Starbucks. How embarassing.. ! But obviously my trip to Starbucks couldn't be without a Green Tea Frapp (first picture). Oh how I wish we had this back in England.

Later on in the day.. I met up with my family again. Brother and Sister both came back with really Hong-Kong haircuts. haha.

So another day awaits meee.. Still have so much to do! See you in my next post! =))

HONG KONG DAY 1



Hurray! I have arrived in Hong Kong anddd.. I have internet! =)) Tough to the person who didn't set a password to access their internet! muahahh!

DAY ONE

I got about 3 hours sleep on a 12 hour journey! >_<;; So obviously I was mega tired as soon as I stepped foot on ground. I arrived at about 1.40pm and didnt get home till about 3 ish?
In most cases, after a long journey with lack of sleep, I would collapse onto something horizontal as soon as I reach home, however on this occasion, my mother decided we both needed a haircut. Random.. but it was a most needed scenario seeing as I'll be taking a photo for my HK ID tomorrow.

So.. haircut can be seen in the photo above. My fringe is now shorter.. and I have more layers in my hair (don't think you can really tell with the bad lighting in my room). Length-wise, its still the same. I'm going back later on during my holiday to dye my hair. Colour is yet undecided. ;)

A meal with the family especially those you don't see often is a must on a first-day-back. In this case.. it was with my Grandma. Bless her, she is the cutest person I know despite having such an impatient nature. But the one thing that gets me really frustrated with asian grandparents is that they ALWAYS try and force you to eat.. even after they know you've just had a massive meal. ah dearr..
but I still love her <3.

Anyways, I'm currently not suffering too much from jetlag, but I am mega tired. So I'm off to bed now! =))

Nighhtt.

Summer officially starts now.


I cannot believe its been a week since I finished my exams! Despite all this free time I've had, I've actually been really busy with various things.

I went to London on tuesday with the fammm.. and finally I got my macbook prooo! =)) Things seem to always break down quite conveniently for me.. although I have been eyeing for a mac for sometime, my desktop pc decided to run some stupid virus that completely corrupted the sound system. Soo.. I had to transfer everything into my mac.


The main reason for posting this is that to say I'll be leaving for Hong Kong in about 6 hours! I'm definitely looking forward to the shopping and food but er... not so much of the heat.. I heard it got up to nearly 40 degrees last week. Oh ma gaaad, I'm going to FRY! hahha

but first things first, I NEED a haircut!!

I can't guarantee I'll have internet when I go back, but if I do, I'll make sure to post up my daily adventures!

ALSO. OMG. I might even be going to South Korea/Taiwan/Shanghai.. but it all depends!! AHHH so excited!!

I've been listening to Kana Nishino's new album 'to LOVE' lately and I've officially decided that her song SUMMER GIRL ft. Minmi is my summer 2010 song!
I would find a youtube link to it.. but Japanese record labels are always so antsy about people posting artists' songs without their permission. So.. if you're lucky, go have a listen! or even better.. buy her album! =)) [or just download it... xP]

Hope you all have a good summer holiday! Anybody going anywhere exotic?! =))
