3 days to a whole new year!
Have a tad bit of time to kill before I meet my couple to sign the 23rd wedding confirmation. :)
Yup! We're now counting down about 3 days before the year 2012, and I'm rather excited for it to start actually!!
The year 2012 brings about new beginnings: I will be studying part-time in SIM's RMIT, we got a new car and also managed to get the ballot numbers for our flat in Punggol in the near future.
It sounds a little terrifying, to actually SEEM like I'll be settling down.
The studying part is natural, I mean, a degree in this current age & time is mandatory isn't it?
It's the car, the 'first' heavy responsibility/ commitment which we have to share together. We got a Fiat Punto, which was actually his friend's car but we will take over. 2 years remaining to pay for the car and 2 years without having to pay any installments thereafter. Sounds like a good deal, until you factor in car insurance, road tax, petrol, parking etc. *phew* These are all heavy expenses, but thank god we are earning enough at this moment.
Then would be the HDB flat, which we should be getting around early 2015 or late 2014. I'M TERRIFIED OF SETTLING DOWN, TO BE HONEST.
Still young, wild and free.
Alright, gonna go grab some fruits before the couple comes! Ciao!

GEL NAILS ARE SCARYYYYY
Yup, that's right.
GEL NAILS ARE FREAKY AS HELL!!
I got my first Gel nail experience in Hong Kong when I went last month.
The three of us (Bf, Pete & myself) were shopping at the Causeway Bay area & we saw many small shops promoting manicures.
I remember thinking: "Since we're already here, let's just go for it!" I've heard all the raves about gel nails so I wanted to try. The price stated on the pamplet shows around HKD 228 = SGD 50. It was still reasonably-priced so I went ahead.
UNTIL THEY ADDED IN ALL THE HIDDEN COSTS.
It makes me really angry that the total cost got up to HKD 588!!!! Imagine how much have they added! That was for nail extensions and for the design I wanted.
I'm not very pleased with items that has hidden costs. Which is one reason why I like my hotel's wedding package because they are all in NETT prices. Not additional 10% service charge & 7% GST, or additional charges per table for weekends / auspicious dates. That's besides the point anyway.
So I did the gel nails and they used a machine to buff away the top layer of my nails. Little did I realised what I was about to do was Hard Gel.
Hard gel nails are different from the normal soft gel which most local nail parlour offers. The former requires buffing with a machine, but advantages include the allowing of refills (?) when your nails grow out.
I MUST ADMIT THE NAILS WERE REALLY HARD. I'm someone that does alot of work, be it using my computer, household chores etc, and the gel nails actually lasted me for ONE MONTH!!!
Until it broke, that is.
& boy, when it breaks, it really frickin' hurt. It kinda drags your actual fingernails down when it chips, & that reminds me of those shows whereby the sick sadists tore off the nails of their prisoners. Nastyyy.
Anyway, when I removed the gel nails @ FEP, they used the darn machine to buff away my remaining gel. Now my nails are so frickishly thin & fragile!!!
So my advice: Stick with the soft gel & don't EVEN consider hard gel!
Alright, finished ranting. Ciaos!
