However still hasn't taken the opportunity to achieve her fashion dream, not until Andy said: "what are you waiting for?" Yumiko said: "He asked me how long are you going to think about it? If you want to do it, then go for it. I actually thought about it for a couple of years. In the past I have been busy filming and there was no time for me to prepare. I  realise I cannot give excuses to myself anymore and if I don't take the first step, the problem will never be solved. My husband gave me a lot of ideas. He is very supportive of me and he is also my source of energy".  Yumiko opened a seven digit fashion store with friends called 'Whysocool'.

Home became a warehouse

Asked if she will enter the fashion industry? She smiled and said: "Although I have started late, but it doesn't matter. It's good that I did it than rather not doing it!" Yumiko was told the online shopping market is very competitive these days. Asked if she has the confidence and was she ready to face the challenges? She laughed and said: "I will be the stylist and also become a personal model, teaching how to mix & match. Showing a pair of jeans can be worn with 7 different types of clothing. Even if there is no purchase, at least looking at our website will give people ideas". She also shared that her whole house has became a warehouse with hundreds of clothing, and said it's worth giving up personal space.

New fresh style  

Yumiko said she does not like the current fashion trend, creating your own style gives me a new fresh feeling.

Yumiko Cheng and her boyfriend Andy Leung had been dating for over 8 years. June 2012, Yumiko attended a friend's birthday party in Thailand and accidentally fell from a 30 feet high hill and was rushed to the hospital for immediate treatment. After her surgery, she was in a coma for two days. During this time, Andy stayed by her side and promised to take care of her for the rest of her life. To show his commitment, Andy brought an engagement ring as soon as they got back to Hong Kong and offically proposed to Yumiko.

Its been a year since the proposal, the couple finally flew to Mauritius to take their wedding photos. It was understood, Yumiko plans to first hold a pre-wedding party on November 22nd in Thailand in which she will be paying for her guests' airfare and hotel stay. She chose to hold the party in Thailand because this is the place where she experienced life or death, she decided to unfold the next stage in her life in this place. She invited about 30 of her good friends to attend the pre-wedding party in Thailand, such as her EEG boss Albert Yeung, Nicholas Tse, Joey Yung, Twins, Jordan Chan and Sam Chan. Unfortunately, Nicholas, Joey and Twins were unable to take the time off and won't be able to celebrate with her. Yumiko then decided to hold a part 2 of in Hong Kong, but because of the issue with the location, its been postponed to next year.

The 'clumsy' EEG singer Yumiko Cheng left her wallet on a taxi in Shanghai, losing all of her identification cards and is forced to be detained in her hometown until she gets her ID cards back.

She disclosed on Weibo a few nights ago that she carelessly left her wallet on a taxi. She hoped a sincere person would find it and return it to her. She just wanted her Hong Kong ID card and 'Home Return Permit' back, otherwise she won't be able to come back to HK! [TN: 'Home Return Permit' official name is "Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macau Residents"]. Yesterday afternoon, Yumiko left another message on Weibo expressing she found the taxi driver, but unfortunately could not find her wallet. She went back to the location twice to search for it, but sadly came back empty-handed. Yumiko called herself a clumsy person and should really get a good punishment. She expressed the chances of finding the wallet is probably low, but she's still thankful for the help from her friends and fans.

Yumiko disclosed during a phone interview she was terribly busy running around in Shanghai trying to report her losses and do the paperwork. Initially yesterday she and her fiance (Andy) were scheduled to go back to HK together. Yumiko said: "My boyfriend has work, so he had to leave first. My wallet had about HK$10,000 in cash, losing the money is fine, but reporting the losses of my ID card, Home Return Permit and driver's license is really troublesome. There are also my credit cards. Although I took action on reporting the losses fast, but because its the weekend, I'll have to wait at least 5 more days before I can get back to HK. Well, I guess I'm just going to visit my family. (Has your jobs been affected?) I have jobs, but those could be adjusted. The impact is not big."

Yumiko blamed herself for being so careless and now she's suffering a huge consequence. "I will really reflect on myself. I'm always treating the outside world like its my own home. I leave my things lying everywhere. (Andy didn't tell you off?) No, I need to learn a lesson myself because he picked up after me so many times. Haha." Yumiko is walking around without a penny on her, she laughed: "It feels awesome because I can finally rely on men. My parents gave me some money and my boyfriend left me some too before he went back to HK."

Last month, Yumiko Cheng and her boyfriend Andy flew to Phukut, Thailand to celebrate a friend's birthday, but unfortunately she accidentally fell off the 3rd floor while taking pictures. She was in a coma for two days and remained at the local hospital on bed rest for several days. Yesterday her condition got better, so accompanied by her boyfriend, Jordan Chan and her doctor, Yumiko safety returns to HK.

When Yumiko landed in HK, she came out of the gate in a wheel chair and headed straight to the HK Sanatorium & Hospital in the ambulance provided by her insurance company. Wearing a neck brace, Yumiko allowed pictures to be taken by the media and then accepted an interview in her wheel chair, she expressed: "The doctor said I couldn't get on the plane due to my health condition, but this time the doctor was with me the whole time checking on my blood pressure."

At the time of the accident, friends rushed Yumiko to the hospital. Fortunately the local hospital had quality care, the friend expressed: "The tree branch didn't get into Yumiko's lungs, but falling off from so high up, the force is still strong. She just got a shift in her cervical vertebrae. There were a lot of bamboo at the bottom, luckily her fall was slightly slanted otherwise she could have fell on the bamboo." The strong Yumiko did not cry at all, and faced her accident optimistically. It is estimated that she will need to rest for 6 months.

Yumiko Cheng debuted as a dance-singer, but has recently switched to acting in Mainland dramas. She has also become great friends with many of the artists there. Last week she and her makeup artist boyfriend (Andy) flew to Bangkok, Thailand to celebrate good friend Cherrie Ying's birthday. On June 19th after she had breakfast with her friends, she took pictures on the balcony by the swimming pool at the hotel. Due to the wet floor at the pool and the lack of fencing, Yumiko and the birthday girl (Cherrie) took the wrong step, slipped and fell off the floor together. The birthday girl luckily only suffered from minor injuries, but Yumiko fell 30 feet down, from the 3rd floor down to the 1st floor. A tree branch pierced through her back and through her lung region. Her condition was critical as she fell unconscious on the spot. Yumiko was immediately rushed to the hospital for rescue.

After the emergency surgery, Yumiko was in a coma for two days and finally woke up on June 21st. The doctor expressed she has already got through the crisis. The branch went through her lungs and 5th cervical vetebrae, therefore Yumiko feels pain when she breathes and cannot move like normal. She will need to put on a neck brace, be on bed rest and do some physical therapy.

It was understood that Yumiko considered flying back to HK on a private jet for treatment, but with her current condition, she cannot fly. Her boyfriend Andy, good friend Jordan Chan and other friends remained in Bangkok to look after Yumiko. Yesterday reporters called Yumiko, although she wasn't able to answer the call, but she did respond through Whatsapp: "OK, I'm not dead yet!" Looks like she's doing better now. Yumiko also reveals she will have to stay in Bangkok for some time.

Yumiko Cheng recently became B.A.L Medical Center's spokesperson, and received Botox for thinner legs, remove wrinkles and beautiful white treatments. Yumiko expressed she has been obsessed with ballet since youth, so her legs are rather thick and also she likes to laugh loudly often, which caused wrinkles to develop on her face. So she accepted treatment for the specialist at the medical center and got 12 botox shots in 15 minutes for a beautiful pair of legs and cleared the wrinkles out. She expressed: "This time, I decided to use this medical center because they have a specialist for appearance reshaping. She carefully analyzed my wrinkles, expression muscles, facial proportion, skin tone and the humidity levels. During the course of treatment, she explained the amount and technique of the injections. Very professional. She also urged my friends to choose the specialists at this medical center for treatment."

34 year old Peter Ho is an American born Chinese and went to Taiwan to develop his career. Recently Peter Ho, Yumiko Cheng and "Diving Prince" Tian Liang were in Nanking shooting for new drama [Unbeatable - 無懈可擊之美女如雲]. Saturday night after work, Yumiko, Tiang Liang, Peter and other cast members went to popular bar 1912, where they got into a conflict, Peter Ho and Tian Liang were attacked and injured.

On the internet, different stories started circulating about the incident, it was rumored that Tian Liang was attacked and is seriously injured. Yesterday the media contacted over the phone Yumiko who is currently in Nanking, she denied that Tian Liang was attacked: "I don't know how exaggerated the rumors are spreading online, but actually last night (the 20th) we got off work and went to check out the bars in Nanking. We only sat there for a little bit when two or three people approached us. They did not say anything and threw beer cups, ashtrays and beer bottles at Peter and Tien Liang. There were broken glass all over the floor, Peter's hand was cut from the broken glass and was bleeding, his T-shirt was red from all the blood. Tian Liang dislocated his knee."


Attackers wanted Yumiko to accompany them for a drink

Witnessing the whole incident, Yumiko was in shock, the staff and security at the bar quickly dashed towards the trouble makers, protecting Yumiko and the rest of the guests in leaving the area. So were there any grudges between them that caused the attack? Yumiko said later that she heard the staff say when the those trouble-makers came to the bar, a few of them clearly pointed out that they wanted her to drink with them. Yumiko said: "Heard it was someone who has power, at the time the security and staff denied their request. It is suspected that they were unhappy about this, so they tried to attack my friends and I. Actually Peter and Tian Liang were innocently attacked and injured. (What did you do at the time?) I was so scared I became stiff, Peter's T-shirt had blood, so frightening!" As the injuries were not severe, no one was sent to the hospital. Yesterday the crew issued a statement and said that the incident will not affect the progress of filming. Filming is scheduled to complete early next month.

Online Netizens described Yumiko as a "TVB Star", she expressed unconvinced: "I released 11 albums and only filmed one series. I am actually more of a singer!" Yesterday Peter accepted a telephone interview and admitted that his left hand was injured and was bleeding: "At the time the situation was so dark and rough, I didn't know what was happening and someone used a beer bottle to attack me. I used my hand to block it, injuring my hand and started bleeding. The trouble-makers were later escorted away, I heard the bar called the police and they came to settle the incident. I did not go to the hospital, and not afraid of future danger. I went back to the hotel to treat the injury, fortunately there were no broken glass pieces left in my skin. There aren't any action scenes in the next few days, so I get on with filming."
