Christmas Celebrations in Hong Kong

This year is the first time in my life that I'm spending Christmas in Hong Kong. So it's a big change for me. (plus Last year I spent it at work! )

We had an early christmas celebration dinner which I cooked!! In Hong Kong, the hardest part was finding a turkey and taking it home.

Not in the pic we also had Yorkshire puddings, cauliflower cheese, and apple crumble for dessert. Everything was cooked from ingredients and not ready-made! Honestly, it takes a lot of time and effort, so take time to appreciate and help whoever is cooking on Christmas day.

For the first time in forever, I get to see all the Christmassy displays in Hong Kong. They even have panda!! 

Went to enjoy this cute Christmas afternoon tea platter.




Hair has been dyed black for the winter. I think I actually prefer brown hair.. So when it gets to spring I'll just help myself to the many different brands of hairdye in Hk ^^

An early christmas gift from my favourite person. Have you ever tried these sweeties before?? P. S. it's my new phone cover.

wishing everyone a lovely Christmas xo

New Panda Top +

hi guys! I found my camera so I thought I would blog. I have seen a lot of panda tops and panda inspired clothing but it’s hard to wear a panda top without looking too childish! So I was really happy when I found this top =]
bought this panda print vest from ASOS! it’s on sale too!
website photos:

actual item: close up: Panda print !!

^ picture with flash – pinky coral colour
That’s the colour it looks in real life, but for some reason when I don’t use flash, my camera makes it look more yellow! (I need a new one..) but you get the idea.

love it.it’s nice and light, will be wearing it in summer yay !
hmm now just some random recent pics:-
panda goodies from HK ^^ ty L&C. I can’t wait to eat the panda biscuit thing, but also don’t want to eat it >_<

the weather was super hot here just last week. I miss it. Hope it comes back soon. BBQ everyday!


my mum’s mango cake ^^

and I decorated this cake!! =] can you guess who it is? ^^

Thanks for visiting :)

Panda swiss roll + recent pics

hello, just an explanation on the panda swiss roll. (not an actual recipe here because it’s easier if you have some knowledge on how to make swiss roll, or else you can find any swiss roll recipe online and adapt accordingly!)

yes I made this ! ^^ the panda faces are embedded into the actual ‘cake’ part. not in any way painted on.

basically you need to colour the Swiss roll batter before you cook it. Then draw on the design onto greaseproof paper, cook for 1 minute in the oven using the black first, then the white, then finally filling the whole thing with green (pandan flavour) and then baking it all together. *i.e. you need to cook each colour separately so that they don’t mix*

E.g. my freehand panda drawings- drawn using batter in a piping bag. this pic was after I had cooked the black for 1 min, then added the white batter on top.( so that the colours don’t mix). Then you add the entire green batter on top and cook as normal.

ok so time for some random recent pics!

I put some studs on this denim dress :)

studs from ebay. Dress from HK.

I also tried out StyleSuzi’s trick on getting instant ombré hair. Get some coloured hair spray from a drug store and spray it on XD. Only really good for testing out colours and seeing if this style is what you really want, before you go for the real thing.

nommy fat free frozen yoghurt ^^

fanta grape is so good :)

‘borrowing’ my mother’s mulberry coin purse :)

Top I got from Yesstyle with a big collar ^^

And finally I got this shirt from River Island :) I love Dark green.

Mini G market Haul

So I said I would post up a mini haul of what I bought with my 50,000won voucher for Gmarket! unfortunately it actually doesn’t add up to much once you count the overseas delivery! but still, I got these for free <3

1. So as you can see from the stock photos, I get so easily sucked in by how nice the photo looks. I mean the chocolate doesn’t come with it but I saw the pictures and I just had to have it!

It’s a phone ‘pluggy’ that goes into a 3.5mm earphone socket.

Is it a Lion king or a Panda? you decide. It looked panda enough for me to buy it xP

Stock Photos:

What I got:

Really good quality, exactly as the photos, minus the chocolates and the artificial sparkles! but it actually does sparkle in real life!

pic with my phone:

2. Denim shirt with Sheer black sleeves

Stock photo:

This shirt was also the same as the stock photo, (the colour here looks slightly different but it’s the lighting effect).

It’s a little wide though, I expected it to be smaller since asian things are normally really small. This shirt feels really baggy and wide. I may need to get my sewing machine out and fix it.

Overall I’m happy because it was a nice gift from gMarket!

Until next time =]

Pandas and Unicorns-Haul

Just taking a sneaky break out to blog right now! I haven’t bought much this year yet, trying to be really good. (I might even sell some items here, to clear out my wardrobe. if anyone is interested?!)

But I managed to buy these shorts the other day. . . I had something to exchange in TOPSHOP anyway so I decided on these unicorn shorts! I know I know, they’re not panda!! but they’re black and white? if they had panda ones like these I would have bought them without thinking.

Wore them today. not very interesting but this is what I wore. hair is a mess.

Then my brother came back from HK and brought me back a lot of things! These Panda Slippers =]

Fiberwig and Dollywink Eyeliner!can’t wait to try the eyeliner!

RICH panda blankie ! ^___^ it’s so soft and fluffy!! Thank u K

Panda Pencilcase =]

these cute little ornaments are from Tokyo. hehe XD

That’s it for now. p.s. anybody on Viddy? follow me @ epued =]

Merry Christmas ^^

It’s Christmas eve, and I’m finally off uni yayy!
So I got an a reindeer jumper =] it’s from Topshop.I love it, it’s so super comfy and soft and keeps me nice and warm! Since it’s Christmas, a reindeer jumper seems more appropriate than a Panda one XD

and these are some pressies i received in the post, cant wait to open these!! feeling spoilt >.< And these are presents I got from my secret santa ^_^
what’s better than presents is that I get to spend Christmas with my whole family this year ^^. Last year was a quiet one because of the snow getting in the way ><
So anyway, if anybody reads this i wish you a really lovely and meaningful Christmas! Xx
