There's always a first in everything that you do. And yesterday, it truly was my first time. It gave me a soothing feeling... was so relaxed... chilled... at times it was cooling against my warm skin and the slippery feel of her fingers rubbing against me, my face... YES, it was my first time doing a facial!
After donkey years of not caring much for my skin, I've finally went on and tried a facial. My mum keep bugging me, 'you are going to step into another new decade of your life... you better take care of your skin otherwise you'll look so old by 35.. blah blah'.
Although I really enjoyed the 1 hr 40 minutes of face pampering, I have to say that it's quite a price to pay for women to maintain her 'beauty'. I'm so not used to spending money for beauty, such as spending on make-ups, face creams, facials.. it's a bomb out of my pocket! I rather take the money and spend it on tangible assets. Stuffs that I can see and own at the end of the day.
One things for sure - 1 facial session can't do much for one's face. I don't really feel different today, with exception a small reddish itchy lump on my right eye-bag area today and my guess' that my skin's just not used to the products they used. Especially my eye area. It's a tough one to please! I've always had sensitive skin since young, and although my eye dark circle's getting worse these days (from all the late nites when I was younger... ah, those were the days) I can't use any cream etc as I'll just get these itchy lumps and only dettol cream could cure it in a day or 2's time.
I did however purchase another of their package which includes some eye treatment thingy. We'll see how it goes... darn the ageing effect on women!

OMG, American Idol is back!!!
Season #7 on Astro Starworld every Wed & Thurs! Wee!
Ah, just as I thought I was going to give up on being a couch potato since I hardly 'followed up' on any TV series/dramas lately (a habit stopped by all the wedding planning and appoinments but it somehow lingered on even after the wedding), American Idol's new season has begun.
Darn it. There goes any social outings on wednesdays and thursdays nite up till mid March. Plus Heroes season 2's starting next week here as well... urgh!
Bye Bye dinner outings on wed & thurs!

Overdue blog-post.. still overdue!
Just heard that some of my friends, especially those overseas, are still reading my blog! Weee!
OK la, it gives me more incentive to blog I guess? hehe.. nah, kidding. I actually started to blog when master Yoda suggested that I should 'document' down my wedding planning - heart aches, joys & stress levels. And especially the 1st few months of blogging, I realised that it helped me 'cope' my stress levels in some ways.
It's like pouring your heart out to someone without really saying it face to face. I'm sure you know the feeling that you tend to 'hold back' stuffs when you're talking to your friend face to face or even sometimes on the phone, right? :)
Work's occupying most of my time these days. Have been crazily loaded ever since my long leave :(
I'll try and blog tmr nite since I need to be home early tmr.... till tmr, take care people!

Alone again. Time for some updates!
I suddenly feel empty.
Hubby (yes, upgraded from BearyBrad to Hubby now!) has just left yesterday night to go back to Australia and looks like it’ll be another 3 mths till we see each other again where I hope and pray that it’ll be both of us flying to Sydney then.
This’ probably the 28th time that we’re parting again and darn it, it still feels like it was yesterday that he landed in KLIA. It still hurts everytime we part and I get really emotional especially the first week of being apart. Am missing him like crazy now. Feels different not seeing my hubby sleeping on my bed, or massaging my feet when I’m chilling out on the sofa or my bed or even hearing him calling out his own chinese name that Jess named him.
*sob*
It has been exactly 1 mth and 1 day that hubby was here. I can still recall how stressed I was last mth this time. Was definitely not in a good mood most of the time despite people telling me that I had the "bride’s glow" prior to the wedding. Hmm.. Not sure what glow did they see but I definitely wasn’t doing any ‘pampering’ then as I had sleepless nites and diet was all hay-wired as I was eating at weird times.
Anyway, come to think of it, we didn’t do much after the wedding. We just chilled out in KL most of the time as my in-laws stayed at KL Grand millenium till the 13th. Oh, we went to Genting for a day trip too. That's it with my in-laws.
Genting trip
Then we had to settle some stuffs on the visa and subsequently our little 4D3N trip to Penang. It was peak period and we made our decision a little too late, so we didn’t manage to go to Koh Samui (our 1st choice). The the rest of the place were all fully booked too despite the monsoon season.
Hubby squeezing himself in a log
Didn't do much in Penang as I fell sick 1 of the days. Penang seemed pretty dead in the afternoon.. most hawker stalls were closed and the food selection in some of the malls we went to was kinda dissapointing compared to KL/PJ's.
The only 'lively' place during weekdays we noticed was Gurney drive. That place's so freaking lively even at 1am!
Us camwhoring since no one else was there to take pics for us
After our Penang trip, it was back to KL/PJ for more X'mas shopping. Shop Shop Shop that I'm so darn broke now.
Think I need to live on bread and water plus free coffee/tea/milo from work during weekdays for a mth (at least) to recover my expenses... wedding and x'mas expenses, as I need to recover in time for chinese new yr.. my 1st year of being married i.e. first year in giving out angpows! Urggh! Talk about perks of being married............
My hse's X'mas tree
Anyway, we had a quiet christmas this year. Only Cousin Kooji & his family plus Loli Bestie came over for dinner on christmas eve.
Speaking of which, there was a crazy massive jam at Rawang on X'mas eve due to floods. It took us 2 hrs to get home from One Utama where thank God we took the Bukit Beruntung exit instead of jamming into the Rawang toll exit on NKVE. The cars could not move at all into Rawang as the 1 and only road leading into the town was blocked to due the bad flood. It took Kooji 3 hrs to get to my hse from PJ!!
But we all forgot about the crazy jam when we saw what's for dinner. We had turkey, roasted ham, pickled ham, soup, salad, mutton, mushrooms and some others I can't recall. Forgot to take photos of it since we were super hungry then!
Will continue later on some other updates..
