I am in need of pampering… MAJOR pampering!! Rather than wait for someone else (like Hubby) to notice and do something about it (which is probably never!), I decided to book a spa treat for myself on Mon, 28 Aug at Anjana Spa (Upper Cross Street). My two lovely friends, Shenny and Su will be joining me for this much needed break.
For just $68, I’ll get an “Ancient Balinese Retreat” consisting of an Ancient Balinese Retreat Massage + Signature Bamboo Massage (1 hr) + Revitalising Facial (45 mins) + FREE Lemon Grass Body scrub (15mins)- 2 hour break of peace and relaxation. For those who are interested, the website is www.anjana.com.sg and this promotion is valid till 31 Aug only.
I’ll write more on this experience after the 28th…. Boy, I so can’t wait!

Click
Recently, I watched the movie, Click, with Hubby.
It is about a man (Adam Sandler) who obtains a "universal" remote controller that allows him to manage not only the TV but his entire life. He can fast-forward and rewind his reality, skipping unpleasant things like work and arguments with his spouse while re-living pleasant times, like his first date, etc. But the remote is dangerous, and he starts using it as a substitute for living through bad times. Worse still, it's an intelligent remote and, after it learns his patterns, it fast forwards through large chunks of his life.
With Adam Sandler in it, we were expecting corny jokes and heaps of laughter. But surprisingly, it did not have that effect on us, or rather ME. Although I admit that there were some parts that were incredibly funny, I was actually tearing for the second half of the movie. Why? Cos’ the movie tells how we, as adults, often lose sight of what matters...
Click is really a great movie to watch – I’ll give it four out of five stars. There's just the right amount of laughs with a touch of heartwarming drama - this could just be the best fantasy comedy since Back to the Future!

Irritable
I feel so irritable and grouchy these days… In the last three days, I had quarreled/argued with someone at least six times – most times were with Hubby or Mr J. Poor guys... And the thing is I don’t know why I feel so irritable. Perhaps I am PMSing but I sure hate feeling this way – so not in control with my own emotions. Sighs…
Anyway, I just want to make a public apology to both Hubby and Mr J for all the craps that I had said to them during our arguments. I am really sorry!!! :)
I sure hope I feel better soon. Maybe my new sandals will help cheer me up.

My KL Adventure - Part 2
Well, here’s the long awaited continuation to my KL story (here it is Miss Pearlyn)…
The journey on the bus took around 6 hrs. It was bearable except for the fact that the guy sitting in front of us has a stinking BO! There’s no way I could get out of that one cos the bus was full and I can’t get to change seats. Anyway, at long last the bus stopped us at Puduraya where we hopped on to a cab to Corus Hotel.
KL has changed so much since I was last there. It is really thriving and is similar to Singapore and I felt much at home, immediately. We checked into Corus Hotel and my room had a huge verandah overlooking the city. There were even beach chairs and J was so envious of my room! It would be great for a party!! I was unpacking when J called to say that there was no wireless internet connection in his room. I checked mine and there wasn’t either. We found out that there wasn’t wireless connection in the lower rooms and asked for new rooms as we needed internet. We got new rooms but this time there wasn’t any verandah. Boohoo…
The trip was really great. Here is some stuff that I want to highlight:
a) 12 Jul – Had to go alone to “Korea Town” to collect the Hanbok (Korean costume) for the two Malaysian girls that we got as Event Assistants, to wear. I flagged for a cab and one with a lady passenger on the front seat, stopped. I was surprised when the male driver told me that he could get me to the place, especially since that was a lady passenger in the front seat. I thought that cabs here operated like those in Indonesia – where passengers going on the same route can share cabs. How wrong was I – the lady passenger I later found out was the driver’s wife! And she follows him when he’s driving around! How lame is that… And worst of all they both had BO and I had to bear with it throughout the 45-min journey!
b) Calista and Denise – the two Event Assistants we had, who not only looked great in the Hanbok, but also did a terrific job!
c) Shu Uemura make-up items which are more than 20% cheaper than Singapore! Needless to say, I stocked up on lots lipsticks, skincare, etc.
d) Boulevard Hotel in Mid Valley (we shifted to this hotel after the event) – the hotel had a great, gigantic bathroom! It had a huge “rain shower” with a shower stall and a huge bath tub for those long, relaxing bubble baths. Yum…
e) KLCC – huge mall with millions of shops much like Ngee Ann City, only bigger. The two food courts there served delicious international cuisine.
f) Mid Valley Megamall – reminds me of Tampines Mall but much, much bigger. More of a “neighbourhood” shopping mall and less upmarket than KLCC. Love the clothes from the individual shops.
g) A Cut Above – an upmarket hair salon in Mid Valley Megamall where I had my hair cut in the expert hands of Mr Davis Lee. I simply have to get my hair cut there again….
h) J’s two cousins for showing me KL’s night life – we went to Asian Heritage Row at Jalan Doraisamy. It was hilarious watching the female singer, gyrating to every song!
Well, that concludes my KL experience. And I so want to go back there again some time soon. This time with hubby in tow, I hope…. Anyone want to go with us? Let me know!!
