Long weekend!
WOohoO~ I took half day leave on Friday (04/12/2009) to meet sis for facial, dinner & movie as I had a Deepavali PH to offset it.
Sis and I decided to do facial because we had a pair of vouchers and we have not done it before so we decided to give it a try. Before I left my office, my colleagues warned me about those people who force us to take up package so I was pretty worried. Most importantly, someone told me that one may have pimple outbreak after a facial session because of the extraction.
Upon reaching the place, we were told to fill in a form regarding the products we are using. After which, we were brought into the next room to change into a tube-like dress so that our clothes will not be stained with the facial products. She started with me first and I must say that I was quite tensed up because it was my first time. I liked the smell of all the facial products she used on me. Half way through the process, she started to do extraction on my T-zone (I only have slight problem on my T-zone other than that my complexion is fine) and it really hurt me. Each time she did it, it felt like a needle piercing through my skin. Now, I understood why some say doing facial can be quite torturing. In fact, it was comfortable for me most of the time other than having to lie down for hours when I wanted to pee badly.=x I just could not stay still and at the same time, I was so scared that the facial lady will be unhappy with me. =/ Anyway, somehow I fell asleep and started to snore.
Laugh out loud. Initially, I did not know until sis asked, “Jie, you are sleeping?” because I thought it was the breathing sound of the facial lady. Ha ha ha. At the end of the session, I was told not to use masks so often (once every three days) because our skin is renewed in every 28days. She said that sis should be more hardworking than me because I am using quite a number of products (toner, moisturiser, paper masks, peepling mask & ampoule)already. I guess it is my priority so I am willing to spend on those. Anyway, we will be going back again because we liked her service. Yes, I know there isn’t a need for me to do facial but I got motivated when I saw the facial lady because she looked a few years younger than her age due to her good complexion. I need maintainence!
Laugh out loud.
After facial, sis and I quickly walked to the Cineleisure to buy our tickets. Actually, we did not buy because we used a complimentary pass (given by Alex as my Christmas gift) for our tickets. It was quite a coincident that Alex was at Cineleisure as well and we managed to say Hi to each other. Ha ha. Sis and I were very hungry by then so we quickly walked to the Paragon for our Japanese meal at Shimbashi Soba. I found this shop on the internet so I decided to give it a try. I quickly ordered a plate of Sashimi to ease our stomach a little when we reached there because I believed that they did not need to take so long to prepare it. It was quite nice but a little sticky due to the egg yolk. The shop specializes in soba (if I am not wrong) and we thought that it was quite refreshing. We also ordered a set of dessert even though we were already so full. = p
Sashimi!
Sis with her sashimi. Ha ha

I loved the green tea ice cream!
Next, we walked around orchard to take photos then we proceeded to The Cathay to watch ‘Hua Mulan’. Oh ya. Before that, we went to Ben & Jerry to buy a cup of milkshake (using a $5 voucher given by my manager which I am not sure why. Maybe I am lovable? =p)
The pretty ION Christmas tree.

We are NOT twins!
Our fingers! Ha
I loved its cartoon version so I thought that the actual movie would be nice too. It was but I thought that the ending was a bit of disappointment when the male lead told Hua Mulan to forget him when both of them loved each other. Maybe it was silly but I felt sad for the rest of my night. =/
Does it seem like her celebration was being sponsored? Bla~ Just a coincidence!
