I wanted to blog last night but I was too tired to do so after coming back from a friend's 21st birthday celebration. Anyway, now that I am taking a break from reading some articles, I thought I jot a line or two.
Yesterday was my sister's eldest sister's 21st birthday. I knocked off from work earlier so that I can join the both of them plus another of their guy-friend for shopping and also doing some other interesting activities.
We met at Wisma Atria since the birthday-girl wanted to use her gift vouchers at one of the shops. We found out that it was closed for renovation. We then headed for Ngee Ann City where the princess of the day bought a couple of stuff while her entourage followed. :)
Last Saturday my sister and I went to Little India as she wanted to have some henna-painting done on her hand. We also wanted to have eye-brow threading done so as to shape and neaten them. This is my first time. I was a little apprhensive but after much coaxing from my sister and the friendly beautician, I decided to go ahead. It was interesting - not painful and at the end of it all, my eye-brows are nicer now. Haha.
As we really enjoyed the excellent service from the shop, my sister and I decided to bring her sister and the guy-friend to this lady again. She was so happy to see us. Eye-brow threading was done on the birthday girl and her friend. In the end both of them loved it. Henna-painting was also done on the birthday lady's shoulder-blade and hand. The beautician did the henna-painting on the hand free since she knew about the 21st birthday celebration that we were having. Very kind of her!
I am happy to have known this lady - very friendly and motherly. I guess friendship can be forged just by merely removing walls of pride and prejudice. I forsee all of us going to her regularly and I look forward to it as I am interested to know this lady more. In fact, my sister and I are going to meet her again soon. We have made appointments with her for facial treatments on Thursday evening. Haha.
We also did some shopping and bought a couple of bags. Oh yah, if ever you want to buy stuff from Little India, do BARGAIN! Do also check prices from a few shops first before buying. We wanted to purchase a bag from one of the shops but since we felt that the quote was a little too high, we gave it a miss and moved on. Guess what? At one of the alleys where the push-carts were, the price for the same bag was almost 40 percent cheaper. Well, there you go!
Anyway, praise God! After Little India it was off to Haji Lane where we ate at Blue Jazz and played some games. We had fun as we talked and joked about school, friends and also families. We also made the birthday girl eat the cake and ice-cream without using her hands. She had to also eat a strawberry using the dessert spoon but without her hands. Haha.
It was home after that. I was so exhausted that I actually slept quite early. :)
Anyway, here's praising God for old and new friends! They really lighten up my day in many ways all the time!
"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
