Rebonding
Appointment was for 10am, but as there was a big crowd, only got started at nearly 11am. Was waiting in her hall in the meantime, watching her son play Warcraft III. Firstly, some chemical to break the bonds in the hair. Half an hour later, was asked to wash my hair in the bathroom at the kitchen - sitting on a study chair, lying back on some towels wrapped in plastic bags as neck support, and having my hair washed in the basin.
After the washing, it's back to the room for drying. To speed up the drying, auntie Xiuzhen passes an extra hairdryer to me, and asked me to help in the drying. I dun really know how to use hairdryer cos I never dry my hair with the hairdryer at home. Auntie Xiuzhen must have thought I was weird!! Quite an experience though to have 2 hairdryers blowing at my hair. Can imagine how I look after that... very windswept!
Then came the ironing. Took about an hour. Followed by some more chemicals for another half hour, then wash and dry again (same 2 hairdryer process). Was done by about 2+pm. Was starving by then, but had great looking shiny hair!!
Definitely worth the $60, and auntie Xiuzhen really did a great job!! Highly recommended!

Relaxing Weekend
Living room:
Dining Area + kitchen:
2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (with showers):
We booked the karaoke room at the club, and I was pleasantly surprised to find some very new songs there - Karen Mok's 如果没有你 and Stephanie Sun's 雨天. Cool! Of coz the aunts and uncles were singing oldies in mandarin & english, while us cousins were picking the latest songs. So was a pretty good mix!
Didn't miss going to the Wild Wild Wet theme park with my cousins of coz. Our chalet had a good view of it.
The most exciting ride was the Samsung Slide Up (slide down from a 4 storey high steep ramp). Almost feels as if you are flying on your way down the ramp!! All the other rides are comparatively very tame. Felt a little sea-sick on the Tsunami tho. Haha!
It was pretty tiring tho, cos we had to keep climbing up stairs for all the rides... So we were wondering why there were so many 公公 and 婆婆 around the theme park. And realised that senior citizens above 55 yrs old get free admission into the park. Not a bad idea to get our elders into water sports! The Shiok River should be quite suitable for most of them. Although we saw several elders at the Ular-Lah ride too! Never under-estimate our elders huh!

Goong!! Princess Hours!
Yes yes, I'm also hooked to the Korean show that everyone else is..... 宮 Goong!! My fren MM lent me the VCD. It's the..... I think........ only 2nd Korean (erm... Is Winter Sonata a korean drama??) show I've watched, and I love the show!! Fairy tale story about a young girl marrying a prince, and it's really funny, especially lead actress Yoon Eun Hye! Haha! And to think I always had the impression that Korean shows are soppy. Check out the shots:
And yes, I belong to the Lee Shin 信君 group. He's awkwardly cute in a way. And of coz was rooting for him to end up with Shin Chae-gyung. Main reason was coz the princess was hopelessly in love with him, and it helps that they look very cute together of coz! :)
Of coz the other prince Lee Yul is not bad too. Actually thought he was quite cute at first, but he got too 婆妈 after a while. And I seriously think he will look better without the necklace he keeps wearing in the show.
One strange point tho... The full name of the show is 宫 - 我的野蛮王妃 but the 太子妃 is not 野蛮 at all wor...
And I really love the teddy bears at the end of each episode. Soo cute!! :)

Was on leave after hectic event on Sunday, 5 Nov. Went to watch the movie The Departed with fren NN. Free tickets from colleague TCS! :)
When we were getting the tickets, the guy at the counter asked to see our ICs. So we asked him if the movie was RA, and he said, no, it's M18 (i.e. for above 18). 18?!! We look below 18!! Woo hoo!! =)
The movie, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson, is the Hollywood version of Hong Kong movie Infernal Affairs (无间道), starring Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu Wai. Was very impressed with Leonardo's acting!!
Quite an enjoyable movie, even though oredi knew the storyline from watching 无间道. But of coz most enjoyable part was when we were buying the tickets. Hee hee! :)
