Back from Hong Kong~

Back from HK last evening... The moment i stepped out of Changi Airport, i started to 'hate' the weather here because i was sweating when i got in to the car... haha... i miss the weather in HK, it was not very cold but you can feel the cool wind even you are walking under the sun. Surprisingly, i felt that my skin condition was better during my stay in HK even though i slept late and i didn't drink a lot of water plus i ate potato chips and fried food. Usually if i sleep late, the next day sure will have new pimples pop out, so i was quite surprised that i didn't have new breakouts during the stay.

i like to dress like this but it's quite impossible to do it in SG because of the hot weather :(

Well, the main reason of going to HK was to shop for toys, i mean, dolls stuff :P There were so many toy shops, i tried to survey as much as possible to compare prices before buying what i wanted, i think most of the shops are selling cheaper than the shops in SG. i was very happy that i could find some dolly stuff at a cheaper price, i think the dolly clothes that i bought are enough for 'one year's supply' for my dolls, LOL. As for the dolls, the prices are cheaper too if compare to SG, i bought Pullip Peter Pan because she is really cute in real life and she reminds me of Pullip Nina, as for Pullip Sala, i like her but i didn't think of buying her before i went to HK coz i thought she is very expensive if i buy her now, then when i saw her at one of the shop, i decided to get her since i felt her price was quite ok and she is a limited edition.

It's my 2nd time to visit HK Disneyland but it's still enjoyable since i was with my bao bei. It was a different feeling this time coz everything was Xmas themed and i liked the fake snow and the cool weather at night.

Actually i didn't go to much places for photo-taking since mainly i was at the shopping places but i did go to the East Promenade at Tsim Sha Tsui. It's a very nice scenery and it was slightly colder at that place, i loved it. My picture didn't turn out well but the scenery was really beautiful.

i think our trip was really worth it because i couldn't believe that the travel agency booked this really nice hotel ( Royal Plaza Hotel ) for us. Actually when we checked in to the hotel, the receptionist said the type of hotel room that they booked for us was not available at the time so they upgraded the room for us. When we saw our hotel room, we felt so lucky coz we got a better room without paying additional fees. The room we stayed actually cost around S$600 per night but we only paid S$689 per person for our return air tickets and 4 nights hotel stay! Although the airline we chose (Cathay Airline) is not very good but the hotel already made my day :)

Thank you bao bei for giving me a surprise, i didn't expect you would do it in HK...

i am officially engaged :P

World of Dolls

Do you know any dolls? Not Barbie or Jenny! Or are you a doll-collector? Just wanna share some dolls' info if you are interested in collecting them... maybe you think that collecting dolls is a stupid act but there are a lot of people in the world are doll-collectors, even the guys also like dolls... it's not only a 'girl-thing' anymore...

This is Blythe. There are two types of Blythe dolls: the 28cm (1/6th scale) "NEO" and the 11.2 cm "Petit Blythe." Only NEO Blythes have colour-changing eyes, which include the colours blue, green, orange, and pink (except for cases with limited-edition dolls). Newer releases of the Petit Blythe dolls have moveable eyelids and bendable bodies. Blythe dolls range in price (at release date) from USD$60 (ADG versions) upwards of USD$300 (limited edition NEOs). Personally I think this doll is ugly and I will never like her... Oops, sorry, no offence to Blythe lovers!

Next is Super Dollfie. SD is a ball-jointed doll, about 57-60 cm tall, they are highly customizable - wigs, eyes, face paint, hands, feet, heads and other body parts may be changed, if desired. There are a few types of SD: "Mini SD", "SD Cute", "Super Dollfie Yo-SD", "SD 16", etc.... They are much more expensive, a SD costs around US$ 375 and above, and the worst thing is not included wig, make-up and outfit! Terrible isn't it? Not many people can afford it..Usually you have to buy it online... Some of them look good but some look a bit scary to me!
Heard of Momoko? Momoko is a 1/6 scale (27cm, 10.6 inch) Japanese fashion doll. The Momoko doll, has visible joints and good flexibility, able to tilt and rotate her head, bend and rotate the elbows, bend the knees, slightly flex and bend near the waist, flex the wrists and ankles, and so on. The Momoko doll is able to stand on her own without help, though a white metal stand is included. The Momoko doll costs about US$70 and above.

J-doll is another doll quite similar to Momoko. J-doll is also from Japan, 27cm tall, costs about US$70 and above.
Here comes my Pullip and TaeYang! Pullip is a collectible fashion doll. It was created by the Korean company Cheonsang Cheoha and marketed by Jun Planning of Japan. Pullips are released on a monthly basis, and there are additional limited release exclusives sold occasionally. Each edition has a unique name with distinct face make-up, hair, outfit, accessories, and box. Pullip has a unique eye mechanism that allows the eyes to move back and forth, and wink, using levers on the back of the head. Pullips are highly articulated. Pullip can be personalized and customized. Pullip is about 12 inches tall with an oversized head. The body is about 9 inches tall (1:6 scale), the size of many fashion dolls such as Barbie and Jenny. Taeyang was introduced in 2006 as the second male counterpart of the Pullip doll. He is about 34 cm in height; taller than Pullip and the same articulated body as his predecassor, Namu. He has a realistic head and an eye mechanism that allows side to side eye movement as well as individual blinking.


So any of the dolls interest you? I'm totally addicted to Pullip and TaeYang!
