Just came back from feeling like Cleopatra. The feeling, despite oily from the essence oil, is fantastic! How I wish I can have this kind of treatment more often. Actually both appointments were unplanned - I was actually fiddling with the handphone when I saw Aunt Helen's number. Thinking that she might not pick up again, I pressed "call" for fun. Amazingly, she picked up and we fixed the facial appointment at 12:30pm. During the process of unclogging dirt from my face, she was trying to hardsell her products and convince me to use compact powder and moisturizer because the combo can prevent external dirt from getting into the pores. And as usual, I would just go "hmm hmm, ya ya" because of the pain caused from her fingers and needles and the possibility that I might have a big hole in my pocket. I knew I had to brush her away. Feeling aching in the bones, I was thinking of how nice if I went for massage as well. I was salivating at the thought of strong hands unravelling the knots of my aching body. On impulse, I fixed a massage appointment. *Ka ching Ka ching, there went my moolah*
Last Wednesday, met up with Pat and Ping. It had been a year since I met the two of them. We met up at a Japanese restaurant in the basement of Takashimaya. It was great to know that both of them were doing fine, especially Ping, who is going to ROM this June. Saw the $3K diamond ring on her finger (Reminded me of my own diamond ring sitting in the underwear compartment). Chat about marriage and HDB flats. Kinda dry to me because I was not at that stage. Realised that marriage STILL costs a bomb. It is not just signing the paper, throwing a banquet, taking wedding photographs, getting a house and full stop. It is more than that. How frightening~. Anyway, it was still good to see the 2 of them. At least we know that we would still meet up no matter how busy we are.
Went for hot and steaming prawn noodles for lunch last week with Amy, Adeline & Eugene. It was pouring cats and dogs, but our adventurous spirits and passion for good food brought us to taste the fantastic Boat Quay hae mee in some anonymous coffeeshop. Ultimately, we were soaked to the skin despite carrying umbrellas, but we remain happy and satisfied. That's most important.
