kimrobinson!

Thanks to Marg for the 2 complimentary "Cleanse and Finish" kimrobinson @ Ngee Ann City vouchers worth $58, which she has gotten from Lee Hwa Jewellery.

The voucher expires on 1 Aug and she gave us only on Thurs so we like this weekend to go. Then I called up to make appt for both JC and I to find out that it was the hairstylist's last day today (31 Jul). The definition of "cleanse and finish" is actually wash and blow dry. So we tot it's nothing much and even had 2nd thoughts of going cos if we go all the way to Taka just to wash and blow, isn't it abit waste of time. but then again, I suggested to go since it's FOC anyway and we can even have lunch there after.

Good decision made! Notice the following high class services that normal salons dun normally provide:

1) Staff were professionally dressed: formal white long-sleeve shirts for guys and hairstylist in jackets, ladies in black long-sleeve shirts

2) Complimentary drinks to choose from, we ordered honey water with lemon slice that was served in a glass with transparent cover for hygiene purpose

3) Were asked to wear a black robe instead of those normal salon which only covers your clothes with a cloth. Somehow I feel that it's more personalised like some hotel room services

4) There were individual private rooms for haircut, hairstyling etc meant for VIPS or even actresses/actors who wanted more privacy for themselves

5) During the hair wash session, the staff would ask if we prefer cold/warm water and if the pressure he applies for the hairwash is ok for us. It's as though we were in a business class flight served by sauve-looking air steward. One more thing was that the head n neck massage was really gd!

6) Randy Ong styled my hair to create a more-volume effect which curls in at the bottom and he helped to trim my messy fringe as well. I was happy with the results cos I knew that I was in good hands from the way he blowed and styled my hair!

Towards the end of the session, we were given more welcome vouchers valid for 3 mths or 4 mths but no signing up of packages were offered. Cool. If we want to do pedicure, we can even get complimentary manicure. Pretty tempting! :P

*** Presenting to you a very satisfied customer!! ***

WKEND! my lurviest time of e week

Sunday, July 18, 2010, 2:35 AM

it's 2.34am and i'm still not aslp. I'm super sleepy by now but happy cos it's LONG weekend for me. no work on mon n tues to ease away e blues.

Yest was rather well-spent with my new colleague. an impromptu hangout after work. in fact, i would have went back much earlier if i didn't specially stay back to clear 95% of my work cos of my leave next wk. i tot of gg to city hall and we took e same train to Dhoby Ghaut and i casually asked her if she would like to join me for shopping and she agreed. We decided to go Plaza Sing instead cos we knew that Raffles City won't promise us much that i will be able to get a bday gift there. But if i were go alone, i would probably skip PS since i went there few days ago. This gal is really great! She helped me to choose a nice bday gift, shares common interest with me which is travelling (aww! she went to Vietnam and Korea b4. i tot of going as well!! probably next time we can even plan for some holiday trips to places we nvr go b4), accompanied me for dinner even though she was nt hungry. She even lent me 30 bucks (which was much more than enough) to cab home. That's bcos we chatted until 12am at e prata shop near PS (we nvr know that we can click so well ^^) and e last train towards Marina Bay already left. but lucky me, managed to catch a bus back eventually w/o cabbing home. *save $$*

Long time nvr have outing with my ex-teammates (miss those days!), looking fwd to this coming Wed. it's gonna be a nice dinner shd i be able to go. the thought of e durian desserts are enough to make me drool! REALLY pray hard that i can clear finish my stuffs.

My back is aching (sounds so old but what to do?!! haha). i have been thinking of going for a back massage for weeks and i'm enduring bcos I know that I'll be in for a treat to some gd massage on Monday. yes, it better be gd or else i'm going to (lemmi think abt it... nah, just kidding!).

Today is a nice day as well! I love my frens cos they really help me alot. Great achievement today. in fact, it's nice to see them enjoying themselves doing this as much as me.

Godfinger till now is still quite addictive. i wonder when will i hit level 50 (highest level), even lvl 20 is still long ahead. Who is going to enchant me, how long more do i hv to wait for e golds for those i've enchanted and how to earn awes to get more golds? Still, it's quite a nice game played via iPhone.

Haven't pack my bag for Mon's short getaway and i'm already looking fwd to next Sat's zouknight! whoohoo! :P

super tired by now, ZZZ everyone~

Lovely Friday!

Saturday, July 10, 2010, 12:45 AM

it's really nice spending time with Sis! It's indescribably good when u are with dearies who u truly enjoy being with. she was already in Vivo and walking ard while i was still struggling with e last bkg of e day. We eventually met at Best Denki, coming from 2 opposite directions w/o letting her wait for too long.

I remembered how JC described her 2nd trimester where her stomach stretched until she felt that it's going to explode anytime. This was how I felt after having our very full dinner & my tummy became so obvious after sharing 4 scoops of Haagen Dazs ice cream! Actually, we only ordered Mango and Passion Fruit, Macadamia Nut and Rum Raisin ice cream. But somehow e waitress heard our order wrongly and we didn't know that it was wrong when she repeated our order. Sis' fave Macadamia Nut flavor was replaced by Midnight Cookies and Cream. We even started eating to realise that it wasn't there. We got e waitress to clarify and Sis gave quite a disappointed look when we learnt that the order was already wrongly taken in e 1st place. Somehow the surprise came later after we ate halfway. The waitress came with 1 scoop of macadamia nut ice cream and said she dun want this to spoil our evening. She's so nice and we even felt a lil guilty for acting rude or maybe we just kept complaining away when she's gone. LOL. When we were abt to finish eating and asked for bill, we gotta see e fireworks at the opposite aka Resorts World! What a GOOD timing! :)

Sis said it's a lil wasted that we dun have a camera. i guess it's ok. nowadays i dun like to take video or pics as much. ya, i know that e moment cannot be captured as memories if we dun take them down. but i really prefer to watch it LIVE and enjoy that particular moment, rather than taking e video and having to look into e small screen with tiring arms each time. i rather somebody else take over e job. haha.. there's a change in me somehow. i dun like to take pics of foodie as much as b4. i dun like to share my album with others. even my harddisk died and alot of pics were gone w/o any backups, i seem to be ok too w/o really feeling that xin tong. somehow i dun mind starting afresh by taking new pics.

thinking that it's Sat tmro, i suddenly dun feel as slpy le. now is already 12.51am and i'm still here.

Sis, hope Ting ting can recover from her fever soon so that u can have better slps. Being parents are nvr easy esp. when ur kids fall sick, now we know why, but i guess i will nvr fully understand until i experience it.

WEEKENDs are precious! SEIZE IT SEIZE IT! I love weekends!!!

Not a smooth day.

1stly, e submission keep rejecting. why don't pple think it's their fault at all when they nvr produce e necessary doc and keep saying that it's e same as last time. if everything in this world is e same, then how gd would it be? i also wish that there will be no changes to rules, policies, requirements, etc etc. but this is how things work, we gotta adapt to the environment and not e other way round right?

2nd thing seems like both parties' fault. i didn't know that we gt past data to refer to and went on to bk e wrong thing given by them based on their email and they didn't find out until last min. pray tt things would get resolved soon. Amen!

how i wish im just a 3d living toy in this world, one who is being loved by her owner~ life would be much simpler!

weekend is nearing. this weekend is packed wz lunch, meetup wz Jee and sun midnight is e worldcup finals!!! can i wake up to watch and still be ready for work on Mon? in fact, i tot i wanna watch Spain vs Germany yest night but i didnt manage to wake up at all.. lol. managed to catch how Spain won the match thru e video below. Nice 铁头功 shot! Sunday I guess Spain will WIN! Haha.. hope my prediction will be accurate this round!

Great to see plans materialising! 19-20 Jul (almost completed e booking!)

Went thru e thinking process and Jean even called up 2 agencies to check out e package tours but they required group booking of at least 10 pple in order for us to BOOK a 2D1N trip to Desaru and other farms, etc. Does it mean that we have to HUNT for pple in order to go? SO in e end, i thot it's best to stick to batam. Budget wise not bad, itinerary swee swee N most imptly it's relaxing time!

JC came my hse for e 1st time just now to collect the 7 dwarfs soft toys. it's bought by my cousin abt 5 yrs back. it's as gd as new & i dun even believe that it's bought so long ago. JC told me that she loves mickey mouse and I vaguely remembered that she did mention abt 7 dwarfs too. When Marg learnt that I'm giving e soft toys to JC, she exclaimed her excitement by saying she LOVES them too. HAHA.. suddenly it becomes so popular but too bad, i didn't know until today.

Ting's bday is comingggg.. im eggcited! aren't u?? heh!

tmro gotta wakey early! i got tonnes of things to do n i hope to go back early.

to get something FOC, it only means having to sacrifice something else. there's no free lunch in this world, believe me. it's frustrating having to compromise with different pple etc but we must all know wad we want ultimately. the main purpose of doing all these, is it worth it? if yes, then go ahead.

if u ask me, the solution is simple. heard of the saying 能够用钱解决的问题就不是问题. but if this is smth that even $ cannot solve, then we got no choice but to compromise right?

aside to that, aiyah.. dunno shd thank or dun thank him lah.. but okay, thanks for dropping by this pm to pass me e harddisk, consisting of shows i wanna watch so that i can finally finish gong xin ji and know wad is e ending.. hahaha... and i gotta watch "The Mysteries of Love 谈情说案" which Jean just introduced me yesterday. One of the latest HK drama to keep my Sunday afternoon busy.

WORLDCUP!

Saturday, July 3, 2010, 11:59 PM

I'm happy! Yest I gotta watch WORLDCUP LIVE at Chijmes! After so many rounds of worldcup, this is e official one that i finally watched! It was a match of Argentina vs Germany at 10pm. Even though we were slightly late with no place to sit down and we got slightly blocked by a tree in e middle of nowhere, we didn't miss out the 1st goal from Germany.

It's really different to be watching it LIVE than hearing news or updates from pple saying how good or lousy those players were. Germany was so gd in terms of team spirit esp. at the goal area. When Argentina's goalkeeper managed to defend a player, the other Germany player would just smoothly kick in the ball right into the goal from another side.

1st half of the game was a score of 0 vs 1. During the short break, Jean and I thought we should find a gd place to really sit down and watch instead of standing around breathing in 2nd hand smoke, feeling thirsty, perspiring like crazy and legs aching after a long day. But Chijmes was damn crowded! Jean quickly ordered a 100plus to quench her thirst before we we went to the basement to check out for seats. We went to the bar next to Harry's and decided to order some drinks at Bobby's.

Who knows the bar tenders didn't have time to entertain us at all!! After waiting for like 15mins, we decided to go to the front and sit on the floor to watch instead. The tv screen is much smaller now as compared to the big screen (1st pic above) outside but we were more comfortable in the air-conditioned place and e sound is so much clearer. Machiam sitting in a living room at home with many Germany fans around us.

Towards the end of the game, the result was 0 vs 4! This match was really exciting and I got Jean excited too cos she's not really into worldcup and stuffs. Upon the 3rd goal, we knew that Germany would definitely make it to the semi-finals cos of the timings and Argentina wasn't performing!! :( Argentina's fan must be damn sad and guess what... that fella told me he just lose sgd2k over this. -.-'''

Sakae Sushi & Movie: Toy Story 3

, 11:58 PM

Sis, Jean and I went to Marina Square and was in time for dinner. Grace said she has cravings for sushi even though she already had that few days ago.. haha.. we both dun mind cos i loveee sushi too! And i think we must be crazy to be ordering so much. hahaha! 1 set meal, 1 udon each for both of them, with 10 plates of sushi (inclusive of 1 coloured plate)! $80 dinner, luckily got disc for credit card pymt. so each pax is $24! :) dinner at 6pm, movie is at 6.50pm but we were late and missed out a little cos GV is known for long commercials b4 movie starts~ :P And very happy thing was that Jean loves e pair of earrings and necklace that we chose much earlier for her for her belated bday pressie!

Nowadays, I find these Disney movies that are made into 3d effects are really interesting! it's not like those normal cartoons but this comes with storylines that is so captivating! We catch the one without 3D effects and it's equally nice!

Can u imagine the toys at home coming alive when e toys seems to come alive in their own world??!

Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie are some of my fave characters after watching this show. Without watching these part 1 & 2 of the story, we were still very into the show as it seems to be a separate adventure on it's own.

Woody being the main character of the show, who was trying to explain to his frens that Andy (their owner) was not going to dump them after going to college. Who knows the rest of them dun believe his story and decided to go to the Sunnyside daycare, where they met Lots-O'-Huggin'-Bear aka Lotso who gave them so much trouble and it's nice to see how Woody helped them out from all these, gaining back their trust and they stayed together as one, no matter what happens.

It's interesting to see Ken and Barbie in the dream house, with those hundreds of clothings in their wardrobe!! hahaha.... I love the way Bonnie plays with her toys. these kids must be creative huh! talking to themselves while playing with those toys~ wonder if Hui ting will do that when she grows older :PPP
