Christmas was a simple, yet eventful affair in many ways for me this year. :)
On Christmas Eve...
I permed my hair! Hehe... actually I had planned to just go for my twice-a-year trim/ colouring/ treatment at the salon but the stylist convinced me to try a perm. Said something about my hair at the best length to do it. So now I've got a kinda Japanese girly hairdo that resembles the style in the pic on the right, just that my bangs are slightly shorter (and er... I'm certainly not that skinny. :p)
After the salon trip, which lasted several hours, Beebee (she got her hair coloured for the first time in her 23 years! For me, it was 26 years wor...) and I shopped around Jurong Point -- ahem, correction -- we walked around the SUPER MEGA NEWLY-REVAMPED Jurong Point. Wow! It's certainly huge! I even got lost when I entered through a new entrance and had to call Beebee for directions to get back to the old wing. Anyway, finally got a new pair of heels for work, a belt and a nice red top at 20% discount at Dano. Think will wear that for Chinese New Year. Hehe.
On Christmas Day...
I got up at 3am plus just to sneak the Christmas gift I got Hubby under the Christmas tree. Thank goodness he didn't awake to find out my secret hiding place that I usually use for his presents. Haha.
Anyway, got him a Loewe wallet that he said looked good when we came across it while out with HZ a few weeks back. Just wanted this to be my last splurge of the year cos Hubby got me the Rado watch as a very early Christmas present so I wanted to 'reward' him with something he liked too. :) But Hubby wants to put this wallet to use only after he's done with his current one. =.= But at least he returned my efforts with a 'gift' -- he removed the Loewe sticker on the carrier and stuck it on my watchbox, saying I have an expensive Loewe watchbox from him now! =.= (Hmm... but it does look more fancy with the sticker. :p)
Also got him a cute mini log cake from Polar the night before at Jurong Point. So adorable!
Spent the rest of the day chilling out at home and racing on Xbox and DS with Hubby, and we ordered a cosy pizza meal for two in the evening, which we enjoyed while watching F1 racing on DVD. That's life, man... :)
On Boxing Day...
Went out to town with Hubby and, cos I was ranting and raving about how famished I was, having eaten a light lunch earlier in the day, we ended up trying out a new Japanese restaurant at The Heerens, called Waraku Casual Japanese Dining.
The exterior of the restaurant. Belongs to the Waraku chain so the decor's quite similar to their other sibling restaurants. Yum... my chawanmushi... see the slice of lime there? That's the first time I've come across lime in chawanmushi. Adds a bit of zest to the taste. :) Check out the gigantic bowl that Hubby's seafood curry udon came in! Haha... and then there's my set order of kikyou -- Japanese vegetable and chicken stewed in miso broth and rice in beancurd skin. Presentation of food's really pretty! ^_^
Oh ya, how can I forget? That same day, Hubby also bought himself a 'PERFECT gift' at Kinokuniya. It's a book on how to repair watches, with lots of technical details and hand-drawn illustrations. Very cheem one. Sigh. Left me kicking myself cos I could have gotten something that satisfied Hubby more, and at a much lower price! Argh. Always happens to me when it comes to buying him stuff. =.=
Well, that's Christmas 2008 for me! Peaceful yet eventful. Had a good time. :)
