les étoiles sont avec moi

Do you sometimes feel like spending more when you are stressed at work?

Well, I do.. somehow i have this urge to spend on food (jap food esp) and buying things recently..i'm not sure if this is like a post traumatic event triggered by the overwhelming workload at work (or maybe its just the GSS lol)

Just over this weekend i spent close to $300 on eating out and shopping and doing my hair (yes more about that later lol).

Oh yes btw did i mention i love long weekends?

Ramen Nantsuttei
Parco Marina Bay

Wanted to try this newly opened ramen restaurant at Parco Millenia Walk, so went there with Kelvin, ah nek and Cindy for dinner on Fri nite..

Spent close to 1 hr waiting in the queue to get a table, Kelvin was busy playing with iPod touch to pass the time

The three main women in Kelvin's life muahahaha

Our appetites were wheted after the long long wait and finally we were herded into the single seats in front of the kitchen counter where the japanese chefs were preparing the steaming hot bowls of ramen in their famous black sesame soup base...

Mmmm can u smell the aroma wafting up from this bowl of hot delicious ramen

Tucking in

Ah nek said the ramen was nice but too salty haha..she and cindy ordered the dragon ramen which is a little spicy and i ordered the original one.

After dinner, we wanted to do some last min shopping at Somerset 313 (this has been my fav hangout place recently lol) and we went to Forever 21..i bought a new bling bling necklace and Cin got a new top..

We decided to order 2 sets and share..Christine read some review on the net that the English set is the only set that will make u really full so we ordered that.

The bacon was too well done (too crisp!) for our liking but we liked the grilled mushrooms and egg. The baked beans were huge..

Belgium set with the waffles

Salon Vim by Chez Vouz
Somerset 313

After our very filling meal, we headed down to the salon where Christine had made an appointment to rebond her hair.

I was thinking of dyeing my hair since i was there with her while waiting for Kelvin to finish his lessons..There was a GSS promotion for colouring (Hair cut plus Spring Summer summer collection color + highlights) so in the end, i decided to just do it!

(FYI: Ok as a sidetrack, its been really eons since i last dyed my hair..last time i used to dye my hair like all the time but i got tired of touching up the colour everytime the colour grew out..so my hair has been like super black for the past half year at least..

It's only recently when we went to the bridal studio that Vernise told me its better to dye my hair for our wedding photoshoot so it'll look nicer..so yes i needed to dye my hair lol)
