Dark Circles

Was caught in a severe traffic jam on our way home on the Causeway last Thursday (Yes, I went to Johor Bahru after blogging : P ) Both Fat Boy and I were almost dead with fatigue (The time was 1am) despite having a wonderful time wolfing down chicken nasi bryani, enjoying foot massage and watching "The Forbidden Kingdom" : ) By the time my head touched the pillow, it was almost 3am (Dead)

As I had only 4 and 1/2 hours of beauty sleep, the moment the morning alarm went off, I contemplated MC (You've heard it right - MC) but decided not to as I thought I had to deal with candidates who would be offered by clients (Critical eh!) and the best part was....Boss was not in the office! Hahaha...he had gone for his holiday in Maldives, presumably with his girlfriend (Lucky him!) However, there were some critical issues like late payroll and delayed Employment Pass application that required his immediate attention : ( Fortunately, Sharon mitigated the situation...(Heaved a sigh of relief) : ) Left the office on the dot and met Fat Boy for dinner. As I was so sick of pretentious food once again, we went to have my favorite Scissors Curry Rice : D~ before proceeding to Orchard Road for shopping - Bought a pair of silver patent ballet flats for 25 bucks : )

As for today, finally, I went for my 2nd treatment - Tried the hot blanket treatment (that literally melts my fats away) and my favorite cold wrap (Wow! To think I actually loathed it earlier on)! After an hour of luxurious treatment, I met up with King Kong and we strolled around Marina Square and Suntec City before having tunch at a Hong Kong cafe. The food that we ordered were not fantastic and I believed that would be our 1st and last visit : / Met up with Wynne for dinner and King Kong stayed for a while before he left for his part-time job (Argh!)

After settling the bill, both Wynne and I went to Bugis Junction for shopping (She wanted to buy a white top for her friend's wedding) Ultimately, she bought a white and black racer back top...While waiting for her outside the changing room, I looked myself into the mirror and realized that I had severe dark circles *Flabbergasted* Nervous and sick, I pulled her to the beauty counters and asked for SKII samples, as I had heard Fat Boy's colleague singing praises of the brand during the BBQ. Unfortunately, they had run out (I suspect the beauty consultant lied to brush me off so that she could use those samples on her own face : ( and the worst thing was that she tried to use pressure selling by saying there was a 15% promotion that would last till Monday) I walked off as I wouldn't pay 150 bucks without trying how magical the essence was : / Wynne agreed and she recommended Bio-Essence to me. Feeling receptive and hopeful, I bought a 24K Anti Dark Circles Gold Essence for 34 bucks : /

Have already applied a small amount around my dark circles and I could see that the area is not as dark (Come on, that's psychological : P ) Regardless, I will continue to use it and see what happens... @_@
