Makeover on Sunday

Had a makeover on Sunday. Haha, not exactly. Maybe should call it Pampering Myself. =p

Won 2 free facial sessions for hubby and myself at this spa centre, because we were the first 150 persons to add it as a Fan on Facebook. So I made appointment for Sunday, and we headed down to the City Hall outlet.

Looks quite nice and cozy, and we had to fill up our particulars etc before starting the session. During the session, the beautician was quite nice and told me all the things she was doing for me. Quite a relaxing time there. Haha...

After that, met hubby at the reception area for our tea and the lady came over to sell us their packages. Honestly, it's not THAT expensive, and if I had abit of spare moolah, I would sign up for their package, because I do like having facial. But then again, the lady's attitude kind of suck. I didn't like her snide comments of "Wah, thought you two discussing there so long, talk about what big business." And then when she realized that we're not pushovers, she just ignored us when we left the centre. Quite lousy attitude right? If she had still been nice and all, I might have considered signing for the package next time.

When we reached the carpark after we left, hubby looked at his face and was horrified to see some residue in his nostrils! LOL! He was quite grossed out with it. =p Apparently his beautician didn't clean his face properly. Also, he commented that his beautician was sniffling and to me I think that's gross. If you're sick, you shouldn't be doing facial for others. I mean come on, I don't think I want to hear your sniffling and how your mucus is like stuck in your nose. Geez! I'm there to enjoy my facial, not hear some mucus symphony.

Furthermore, it's quite interesting to hear that his beautician didn't do some light massaging, cleaning his neck, shoulders, applying some body cream from neck to shoulders to arms and hands. (Which mine did =p) So he was abit disappointed with the service, at how the standard is different. Oh well, they are aiming for better service for girls, since girls are more likely to sign up for their package, and hence the need to impress us. =p But then again, if 2 persons go together, same treatment should be done for both so that at least they know the service is there, that it will be standard for all treatments done there.

Oh well, no more second trip there. But I'm tempted to source for other reliable companies for facials. Quite like doing facials. Haha... Maybe will get hubby to go also. But need to check that the products used are reliable. For this one, I'm shocked that they used some kind of acid for their "Avro Peel" facial. Supposedly for removing dead skin. Hmmmm... I don't know, I just don't like the word acid. Imagine if you do it like, once a month, I think within a year, my face will just rot away lah. -_- Furthermore I think it's not for me, because at the end of the day, when I look at my face, I have some red patches, where I think it's some kind of skin irritation. Geez. After using Artistry products, I'm just not keen on any other products for my face. Because their products is really not bad. =)

Anyway, after that headed for the saloon for my hair cut. Last minute decided to perm my hair since it wasn't that expensive. But then, didn't like how my hair turned out. It's not that the service isn't good. It's just my hair that's stubborn. Hopefully after a few more washes, the curls will look nicer. Hmmm...

Then went to visit his mum at his cousin's place, since she was helping his cousin with her post-pregnancy confinement. The baby was so cute lah! =p He's so long, should be quite tall next time! And he's such a quiet baby, seems easy to handle. LOL... I can't stand crying babies. They freak me out too much. I like babies and kids, but I don't know if I had a baby, I'll feel the same way too. LOL. The cryings annoy me, or rather scare me. At least with other people's babies/kids, if they start crying, I'll just hand them back and leave. =p I wouldn't know how to deal with mine. -_-

Anyway, today woke up with a headache and jaw pain. Couldn't chew properly, and if I attempt to chew properly by clenching my teeth, my jaw ached like mad. Hubby thought it was mumps, but it doesn't seem swollen on the outside, but inside was definitely swollen, because I couldn't chew properly on the right side. So went to see a doc, and he confirmed it was some infection or something. Not enough water. So he just told me to take some antibiotics and painkillers. Sigh. Not more medicine again. And of course hubby started nagging me about my drinking habits. -_-

Nothing more, just going to sleep early tonight because my jaw still hurts. =(

Virgin Trip To Bangkok

Hooray! My FIRST trip to Bangkok! Oh, did I mention also my first time arranging an overseas trip?! Booking airtickets, booking accommodation, etc. Oh my goodness, I'm so worried that I'll screw things up. -_- Knowing what a blur sotong I am...

Anyhow, have booked the airtickets today, and just finished booking the accommodation. Will be going with his friend who will meet his girl friend there. =) Company's good! At least we won't be so lost there. -_- I can so imagine both of us looking so freaking lost there and losing our tempers along the way. LOL. Because I'll be highly impatient, and he doesn't know what's going on.

So yeah, I so can't wait for the trip! Wait for loads of pics! Since I'm DEFINITELY gonna take photos of the super duper grand hotel that we're staying for the last 2 nights! And of course the hostel, looks cute lah! =D Oh oh, and not to mention all the shopping! LOL... ^_^

The Lazy One PMS-ing

I hate PMS-ing. Bloated, no appetite, cramps, lethargy. I can't believe I threw a good half packet of chicken rice away! And from my favourite stall nonetheless. Geez. Not to mention the ULTRA bad-temperedness. Poor him of course suffered the brunt of it. -_- Well, doesn't help that he's not sensitive enough to know the 'commandment': "Thou Shalt Not Provoke a PMS-ing Woman". Hmmphh.

Anyway, before I go on about what brought about this post, I've GOOD NEWS! (No, I'm NOT pregnant duh -_- Thank God!) Hubby won a 3D2N stay at a 5-star hotel in Bangkok! Woohoo! =D It's called Dusit Thani hotel and if you go surf its website, oh my god, the Club benefits (included in the package) is awesome. We're gonna live like freaking King and Queen! LOL...

Yeah yeah, I know I sound like I've never seen the world. =p But I've NEVER stayed at a 5-star hotel with such wonderful treatment before! Well, not that I can remember... And it's in Bangkok, so it's a wonderful excuse to go for a Bangkok trip! Haha... Yeap, yours truly has NEVER been to Bangkok. -_- Even Ivory has gone there at least 2 times! *SULKS*

Anyhow, we collected the voucher and at night when I MSN-ed daddy, here's the conversation (as far as I can remember) which I think is a riot, the way daddy speaks. LOL.

Me: Daddy! We won a 3D2N stay at Bangkok! So we going there next month!
Daddy: Make sure no gimmick.
Me: Aiyah, no gimmick one, it's a prize from some voting contest that he joined...
Daddy: Ok, we'll be back on Friday night. We discuss it then.

So duhhhhh right? Hahahaha... But that's my daddy for you! =p

Anyway, was having a fever and then the next day kena stupid 'auntie visit'. I SUPER DUPER hate it. And then on Sunday, I happily wanna watch "The Devil Wears Prada", and mummy had to nag and nag and complain and complain (the usual about the messy room, she was talking to my sis, but I know she also partly meant it for my ears too, just that she doesn't really tell me off these days) while walking to and fro infront of the TV! Like, HELLO, I'M WATCHING THE BLARDY TV! So fine, I tried to control my temper because I so want to finish watching the show. AND THEN SOMEONE HAD TO ANNOY ME BY ASKING ME TO HELP CLEAN UP MY ROOM AFTER THE SHOW! WHO ELSE?!

If there's one thing I hate in the world, it's being told to clean up my room. Or anything for the matter. Yeah, I'm a lazy bitch. But it's so messy I don't even know where to start! And when I start cleaning up, I don't like to do it halfway and I SO know I'll sweat buckets clearing my room. No joke lor. And that's why I DON'T WANT TO CLEAN UP MY ROOM TODAY.

So yeah, the volcano erupt and I just stormed off to my room and started cleaning up AKA throwing things away. Then HE got mad and stormed off and went home. AND I MISSED THE FREAKING SHOW! *SULKS*

And yeah, I'm still feeling really bitchy today. I'm gonna bite his head off if he dares annoy me again tonight.

I'M GOING TO HONG KONG!!!!!!!

This afternoon my colleague told me about this promotion by Jetstar. She got the information from her sister, and the both of them are just so into travelling! They always know where to look for good deals and all. =p I wish I was as resourceful as them!

Anyhow she was saying how the Hong Kong flights are so cheap now and she showed me the rate. I was quite excited at the prospect of going to Hong Kong, since I can go there and see his niece! Of course not to mention re-visiting Hong Kong. =) So I called hubby who didn't seem too interested, but I think enthusiasm is really catching, so he ended up giving in to my whims. =p

So I went ahead to book and managed to get us both return air tickets to Hong Kong for S$462! =D (S$119 to Hong Kong and S$15 back to Singapore per person before taxes and all!) Such a steal in my opinion! I'm quite particular about comfort, so even a trip to KL, I'll want one of the better coaches, so ended up the last time we went to KL, we spent at least S$200 on coach for both of us. =x So to me, paying S$500 for flights to Hong Kong is nothing. Haha... It may not be business class, but the journey isn't that long either, so it's ok!

Furthermore we can save on accommodation since we will be bunking in at his eldest sis's place. I did give some thought about overseas trip, since we're supposed to save up for renovation for our new flat (which we are still looking for) and other expenses. But well, I figured if I spend less on cab fares, on my extravagant spending, etc, I should be able to save at least a hundred or two each month from now until we leave for our holiday. =)

So now tickets are booked, I'm so looking forward to the Hong Kong trip! I haven't been overseas for SO LONG. And not once with him! (Hey, Malaysia not counted, and the furthest we went is to Kuala Lumpur. -_-) I've already forgotten what it is like to sit in an aeroplane! LOL... And it's one of the longest REAL holiday that we'll be taking together, so to me, this is really a big deal and I'm just SO SO excited! =) He did promise to bring me to Hong Kong in 2010, but knowing him, he'll procrastinate and not do any planning towards the said trip unless I take things into my own hands. -_- He'll consider this and that, complain how we cannot afford it, blah blah blah. But well, I think I deserve this trip! =p

Anyway it's still such a long way to go before we actually embark on our trip! We're leaving on 29 Dec 09, coming back on 9 Jan 10. =D Super shiok right? ^_^ Luckily his sister stays in Hong Kong and we can save on accommodation, otherwise this trip to Hong Kong may not be possible. Especially not with such a long stay! The hotel fees would have killed both of us! Haha... We'll probably have to eat maggi mee for the next few months to save enough money! And probably not be able to visit some of the attractions there too. -_-

Alrighty! Start saving! Stop eating at restaurants so frequently! Stop shopping! Stop taking cabs! Stop snacking! Haha... Must save as much money as I can to spend on stuff there! I'm lemming for cutesy stuff to bring back! I won't be surprised if I come back with a huge teddy bear or soft toy. LOL. =x Though he'll probably be a wet blanket about it. -_- Ah well... =p
