8 Jan 08
Visited Dr Chin again, for real. He decided that I needed antibiotics this time round, refilled my cough syrup (yucky as usual) and gave me a different flu pill. Another piece of MC.
Slept the afternoon. Cough syrup is yucky and drowsy, which makes it double yucky.
We headed for our spa at The Ultimate at CSC Bukit Batok in the evening. The massage was damn shiok. My shoulders are super stiff and painful, as usual. She was pressing this point on my shoulder so hard I can still feel it now. A very stiff point, she said, had to loosen it. I chose Javanese, which was firm and "more deep tissue pressing" and he took Balinese, which is supposedly gentler. His masseur added a Thai touch with some twisting and cracking of bones.
The package comes with a tie for him, a bra from Blush! which I have to go redeem at the outlet, a bottle of red wine, a bouquet of flowers and a full body scrub and a one hour massage each - all for only 89 bucks. Super worth it. Not to mention, they serve very nice ginger tea as well!
If you received the brochure in your monthly UOB statement, keep it and go for it! Its some Valentine's Day promotion. Only for first time customers. Do you think we will be able to pass off as first timers if we go to another branch, using another UOB card?
Headed for our late dinner at BaliThai at West Mall. I told him I feel like a school kid celebrating anniversary at West Mall. Eating at a fast food joint would make the whole thing super nostalgic I guess. I was allowed to eat anything, despite being sick, for that meal. Wooohoo. Bye to boring old soupy and "healthy" food and a big hi to beef rendang, mango salad, grilled sotong. Yumsss. I am craving for the eggplant which we didn't manage to finish. :(
Its close to lunch time! My cab fare this morning was 24bucks. It feels good watching the meter jump and understand why people complain when its not your own money being spent. My Silver Arrow (turbo charged Skoda) female cabbie was damn hiong. She scolded another cabbie "stupid man, dunno how to drive taxi" and I thought it was hilarious! "Stupid female driver" was so last century, I see that "stupid male driver" is the in thing in 2008! I love it!
Came in this morning and rushed my work thinking that I wouldn't have enough time to finish them. But now I realised that I am about half way through. Sense of urgency always work. Now its time to take a chill pill and look forward to lunch.
Happy mid-week!
