Princess Day

I've been waiting all year for this day to come as I complete my annual cycle again. It's also not very comforting to know that I am in my late 20s. Sends shivers down my spine. My gawd .. I'm old. This statement is like a public announcement to everyone way way way much older to crucify me without any justifiable cause. Haha~ But really maaa ..... I am old ... der. I could see it in pictures .. being addicted to the camera, I could see the signs of aging. Even in professional studio shots, even make up can't make me a sweet 16 year old. But am aging in a good way. What was that word again ... aging gracefully? *wink*

For everyone out there who knows about the Impossible List ...


NO .. I DID NOT GET THE CHANEL BAG FOR MY PRESENT.

What are you guys thinking ... RM10k for a bag ??? In the future maybe when I'm a Mak Datin, or am damn rich to splurge in such a way, or my hubby is damn rich too .. or or or ...
... or Chanel participates in this year's Great Singapore Sale with a 70% discount tag on everything in store. To hell with what everyone thinks, I would camp at Taka like one of the super-kiasu Singaporeans. If people would camp for a RM55 Anya grocery bag, I would rather camp for a calf leather Chanel bag.

And also .. NO .. I DID NOT GET ANYTHING OFF THE IMPOSSIBLE LIST.

Sekian, terima kasih.

For a change, instead of material, I was given major pampering, in the serenity of sentosa at The Beaufort / The Sentosa. At the opposite direction of where all the hype is, this resort was one hell of a destressing getaway. Lush greenery, beautiful landscaping with frangipani trees everywhere .. ponds, water features filled with lotus and fallen frangipanis.

View by day.
View by night.

My princess pampering at Spa Botanica @ The Sentosa. This is what I call true relaxation. What most people perceive relaxation is paying a whopping sum to be "pampered" in a shophouse and get soaked in a tub. Seriously. I haven't paid to get soaked in a bathtub before .. so not worth it man. Such a scrooge sometimes .. hence the new nickname given my SisEsh, MisSip! hahaha~

Was welcomed by it's humble entrace, but as we walked in, the oohs and the aahs started. The rooms were all very impressive with its luxurious wood decor. So are the lounge ala changing room, toilet, jacuzzi, cold dips, waiting area, etc. You know a good massage when you really fall asleep and merajuk when they wake you to tell it's over. Thenafter, you are lead to further relax and decompose at the pool area .. 3 pool areas to be exact! Or head of a mud bath .. do some meditation or yoga at the circular bamboo zen area, or even have some bites at the poolside cafe or at the pavilion surrounded by lush greenery. Just awesome laa babe!

Price wise, I would say it's valued for money (minus the conversion of course!) You'll never get the same thing with the same price here. It's so good to be Singaporean sometimes! Major envy .. can be so tai-tai every weekend man!


I only have my dearest to thank. The quality time spent supersedes any material form gifted in a box.

On second thoughts, I take that back ... coz it's abit hard to say NO to alot of things .. which comes in a box !!!

One of which .. doughnuts in a box. 1 dozen yummilicious j.co doughtnuts.

Thanks Zov!

You have officially made me the most selfish person ever. I refuse to share my doughnuts even to my family members. The people who has showered me with 26 years of unconditional love. And not a single bite of doughnut for them.
Doughnuts are a sin !!!

Weird sightings.

Peacock on a roof. I have no idea that peacocks are flight birds. I don't even think they have wings/flap .. bird hands/arms ??? We were supposed to relax, but ended up very much curious on how it was supposed to get off the roof of a 2-storey building.The scariest Merlion ever. Purple with glowing eyes.
My gawd. It was just a terrifying sight.

To my dearestsss who are residing in Pang's residence. I issue an order that a cake with 26 litted candles has to be presented during or after dinner (where of course, I am buying) so that I can fulfill my wishes .. and that my wishes for 2008 comes true. I hold all of you responsible if they don't !!! Hahaha~

Irony.

I received a call from my beloved brother the next day only to have him asking me ..

"Eh .. yesterday was your birthday izzit ?"

I mean .. what kind of question is that? I have lived with him for the past 26 years. It was acceptable that he lost track of time, but forgotten? 6/6 isn't exactly a very hard date to remember my dear brother. And to make matters worse, he was confused and thought that it might be 7/7 instead. =.=!

No worries. We totally understand each other. No biggie.

Which SPA package did you take up at Botanica? Anyhoo, on the contrary to what you've said about Singaporean being pampered like a tai tai, I believe we have better SPA Resorts in Malaysia than what they have in Singapore alone. HEE. I frequent PLR (F.O.C for me) quite often when I can't be bothered to check out other or newly opened SPA Resorts in Malaysia/Thailand/Indonesia. Of course, those in Sicily/Mediterranean coast is in different category so I'm not going to group 'em here. There is some newer S.R up in P.Dickson, too. Hmm. We are definitely not lack of S.R in Malaysia (^Q^)
