Relax Week

It is the end of the year and time to clear all my leave.

The projects are finally over and can take sometime off before it starts again next year.

This week has been most relaxing. No client complains, chasers and the same old queries over and over again. No juggling between day-to-day work and project. No bargaining and negotiating between the teams, etc.

Finally some ME time!

Christmas time is definitely all about gifts.

Received the usual Chocolates (which i finished in no time) and sweet smelling products from Crabtree and Evelyn and Bodyshop.

Influenced by the Christmas Spirits, I just can't help but went on a small shopping spree and got myself some gifts as well:
1) a cute cardholder (to keep all the important contacts)
2) red Addidas shirt (red Stevie's favorite color)
3) a pair of silver ballerina pumps (finally!!)
4) satin dress (loved the material, feels so good on the skin)
5) Yazuku Moon book (which received many good book reviews)
6) Bra from Women Secret (took almost the whole week, cos i hate bras with sponge and it must definitely be machine-washable)
7) 2 bedsheets from Aussino
8) tailor-made a pink shirt
9) teddy bear from Build- a Bear (Love at first sight, most handsome bear i've seen)

And finally found time to use the gift vouchers received.

Went for a 3 hours massage and spa by The Retreat for rejuvenation. Sponsored by my Sister and her hubby for my ROM. Overall, the massage is too soft. I prefer a more resort or Bali setting (found them more soothing and relaxing) and prefer massage that emphasize on the pressure points. But at least the massage oil did clear my block nose (which is blocked for 5 days since i took my leave) and the staff are very friendly and attentive.

Also, went to for Asian Buffet at Ritz. Sponsored by my colleagues for my Birthday. The variety is extensive but we are definitely getting too old for buffets. Did a small sample on all the food presented and i'm too full to go for a second round on the food that i like. Used to be able to go for 3rd and fourth rounds. Stevie is worst....he didn't even manage to sample all the food.

Time to go spend more time with Stevie before he goes to Macau. Missed him already even though he is still here.
