This is supposed to be posted ages ago... I didn't have time to work out Canton input until now.
The dog at home is obese from excessive feeding from my grandma and dad. I've decided to push the dog for some exercise before she's transformed into Garfield and die of heart attack.
Went for a 20 mins power walk today. After 15 mins, the dog was still unable to catch her breath.
Me: "you are still panting... tomorrow we'll walk more"
Doggie was looking at me begging me not to torture her.
Tiger: "dee dee, tomorrow it will be worse, save your energy and don't run around."
The way Tiger replied was so funny in Cantonese - 聽日你仲慘嗱，慳番啖氣來唞下喇. It sounds like an old lady trapped in the body of a 10 year old child...

菠萝
带了我8个月大的孩子回家，爸爸妈妈都对他们唯一的孙子爱惜的不得了。
Tiger是我表姐的女儿，打从两个月大就住在家里，爸妈把她当作亲生女儿来照顾。
Tiger说：“这个是金菠萝，我以前也是金菠萝，然后贬成银菠萝，现在是plastic菠萝。如果他有什么差池，那我就会变成rubbish菠萝，没人要了！”
从此，她每天都很用心地帮忙带我的孩子，更破天荒主动地洗自己的碗和洗衣服，来提高她的菠萝地位。
当小孩可不容易，这么小就要费心的为自己铺路。而我的孩子也有了新的外号 － 金菠萝。

Oooouch!
I can't do my own brows. Serious. I have all the right tools and I can fix someone else brows but I just can't do mine. I feel sorry for my pink tweezerman... whenever I look at it.
Usually I get my brows done when I go for facials. However, I find that it's hard to get a good beautician who does it right... just can't get the right service for what I pay for. Most of them use shaver which irritates the fragile thin skin on my upper eye and I hate it. On top of that, on a very high occurrence that I'll leave the place with not quite even brows. It's not my perfectionist talking, it's unfortunately true that most of the time the beauticians screw up.
There is only one time that I found someone who did it right. She tweezed my brows into perfect arch. However, I resorted to not to go back and contribute into her pay because she is such a bitch.
I've been really lazy lately. I frequent facial lesser, look at the mirror lesser and let myself go... alright... haha... just kidding... I decided to let my brows to grow back and try out Browhaus. It's backed by Spa Esprit and they are professional in fixing the brows - on the surface... they should be good.
Keeping my fingers crossed, I stepped into their branch at Paragon. I crashed the branch instead of making an appointment. It's a small shop hidden behind Spa Esprit.
They were really busy even on a Wednesday afternoon.
Ooops... it's a 2 hours wait for the next available slot for tweezing but they have threading in 40 mins.... 2 hours vs 40 mins... I just couldn't shop around at Paragon for another 2 hours with my little monster - I might end up buying that expensive designer sleek looking baby high chair... so threading it was!
So after spending 40 mins wandering around and contributed the pay for some sales assistants, I went back to Browhaus again. Two ladies left happily despite having some red patches on their brows and wiping their tears from the sockets of their eyes. I was being ushered to lie down on a chair by an Indian lady. She promised me that my brows will be really nice after her magic work.
Apparently threading is an interactive work. The customer has to help to pull the skin for the thread to run quickly to root the unruly hair and it hurts... really bloody painful. Ooooh... I did my upper lip as well. When the thread ran through my upper lip, I really felt like giving her a punch on her face.
She did the magic and from her satisfied smile, I was assured that she's proud of her handy work. Then, she passed me the mirror, gave me the biggest smile and said in awe: "It's beautiful..."
I was hoping that I would not end up like the ladies - red patches. Damn it... I ended up having patches of swollen skin on the socket of my eyes and at the corner of my lips. Worse, my brows were not beautiful... those were uneven brows and complemented with my tan skin, with the new arch of my brows, the first thing came into my mind was the statue of the goddess on the roof of a Hindu temple.
I look Bollywood. She really needs to go to get her eyes checked. My brows were uneven and they were NOT beautiful...
When I went to pay for the service, unwillingly, I had to listen to 3 different pushy shop assistants telling me 5 times on how I could save 70 bucks by signing up the package which could be used for 2 years.
I was in pain. I wasn't happy. I just wanted to get out of that place. So... I paid 22.70 SGD inclusive GST for my Bollywood goddess look.
On the next day, I met up with a friend and coincidentally her sister also went for threading (normally she goes for tweezing) at Browhaus at Wheelock Place and her brows look just like mine. Maybe Bollywood goddess look is the next IT thing?
Btw, the swollen patches on my skin subsided only after 3 days. I think I really need to put my pink tweezerman into good use...

Loser
Busy busy busy. On top of managing my little one, I've been tied up with...
I wish my little monster could sleep during the day to let me do things (blame the baby... hehe). Now I sound like a total loser!
- visitors - had visitors coming by 3 "batches" (haha... sounds like delivering goods) from all over the world in 1 month... phew...
- organizing trips - getting my visa, flights for myself and the little one, planning itineraries... lots to do and I can't imagine how it's going to be - flying with the little one on my own
- helping my hubby with some tiny tasks...
