friday - 11 april 6pm
yippe!! the weekend is finally here! dearest came and fetch me from work and drove us to bugis cali for my long awaited work-out. during the journey i actually slept in the car like a pig – all through the busy expressway till we reach rochor. was i really that deprived of sleep?
so yeah, ran for a good 20 min on the threadmill & did some other simple weight training. the gym was way too crowded, felt lost in there and quickly called it a day and went to shower. accomplished something else though – burst a gigantic pimple filled with pus! eeeeww….
guess what we did after gym? pig out at chongqing steamboat – our fav food… so much for working out. after a good shower at cali, we subjected ourselves to a suana session at chongqing. can you believe that? think both dearest and i are losing our form – we just couldn’t eat as much as we used to before.
after steamboat we thought about going to topone but decided it was too late so we headed home instead.
saturday – 12 apr 1.30pm
dearest was really sweet as usual and bought lunch for me despite the pouring rain. after lunch we simply lazed around and dozed off (dearest was supposed to be working! haha). he woke up like 2 to 3 hours later after my countless failed attempts to wake him. then dearest sent me to eastpoint while he went home for dinner.
what did i do at eastpoint? i spent $1,418. *cough*
that’s for a hair loss treatment course for one month. ever since i took up my current position at work, i have been noticing thinning patches on the sides of my crown, and also at my hair parting. is it due to stress? not sure. whatever it is, even my regular hairstylist was shocked at the empty patches, so i thought i better do something about it.
actually, i have gone to beijing 101 for a consultation a couple of weeks ago. was planning to sign up for the course until dearest heard about the hefty price and said to me “i won’t mind if you turn bald”. it was so sweet of dearest. but after thinking about it for a few weeks, i thought i better don’t put too much faith in his words (lol). after all, i MIND if i turn bald.
well, the experience at 101 was alright. first they put on a herbal hair mask for 25 min, then washed it off with very soothing massages, then blow dry my hair and applied herbal hair tonic with acupressure massage. when the whole thing was done, i smelled horrible! the young girl who tended to me laughed along with me and suggested that i can pretend i just came back from a chinese sinseh. haha…
after 101 i was really conscious about the bad smell, so i bought a zinger meal and rushed home (despite the consultant’s advice not to take fried & oily food). then dearest called and asked whether i want to go to topone.
so me, dearest and his sister tracy went to topone. had lots of fun singing, and even had a complimentary jug of vodka raspberry. nice!
sunday – 13 apr 3pm
met up with dearest at somerset mrt. went to taka to have my lunch – japanese fried noodles! cheese & egg flavoured… yummiliciously sinful! haha… then we shopped around somemore and finally went to far east to get dearest’s martin fields screen protector for his new w890i. dearest was quite excited because he also finally bought a bluetooth headset. now dearest can pick up calls safely while he drives around le… my little gift to dearest…
in the evening time, dearest brought me to a teochew restaurant for dinner. it’s a rather old set-up in mosque st, quite crowded with families. the restaurant is called 李贵 and is famous for cold crabs.
some random pics when we were waiting for our food:
and pictures of our food:
we had the mixed fried platter (ngor hiong, toufu, springroll etc), di huang miao with prawns, the famous cold crab, and our favourite orh-ni. yummy! it took a while to get used to the cold crab actually… not bad not bad…
after dinner, we went to the cavern to catch the liverpool vs blackburn match.
i used to watch soccer a lot in the past before i met dearest. although dearest is a liverpool fan, he is not really a soccer-fanatic in that he doesn’t NEED to watch soccer every week. thus i haven’t been watching soccer for like the past 5 years? on and off i have watched liverpool matches with dearest but they never truly excite me because i still do not know most of the players, except for like gerrard & carragher.
it was different this time. for 2 reasons: 1. the atmosphere was good because we were seated indoors, where the projector screen was huge & audio very loud, so you actually feel quite involved. 2. liverpool won! haha… the past matches that i have watched are often draw or nil-nil games. but there were a few exciting goals in this match against blackburn.
at the end of the match, dearest asked me whether i will convert to be a liverpool fan. of cos! why not! but dearest, you must play a part in educating me about the players, alright? (what’s the name of the goalie? haha)
ok, one more pic to end this terribly looooonng weekend post:
