special day

I am so contented here. It's great. Everyday someone new comes to visit us and annoy us to no end, um, I mean, to see us.

I experienced things entirely new today.

1) I went to a spa.
2) I got a facial.
3) I wore fake eyelashes.
4) I got complimented by people on my looks.

So this is what happened. It was my cousin's wedding today and it was held at an amazing Chinese restaurant incidentally called Midnight Sun. That is like the coolest thing ever, don't you think? For you non-Twilighters, this is the sequel to Twilight in Edward's point of view.

But rewind a couple of hours from that. My mother and I reached Persona Beauty Parlour, apparently one of the best parlours in the country, at 10.15 in the morning. We got slips of paper that said what we were paying for. My mom got a facial, I got a facial, an armcial and a legcial.

The demure people who worked there (they looked Burmese, but my mom told me they weren't) gave me a nice glass of mango juice when I went to sit in the waiting room of the spa. Then they put my feet in a bowl of fancy water (water can't be fancy, I know, but there were roses and lemons and stuff in the bowl and I don't know what to call the water) and rubbed them. The girl then wiped my feet and slid them into cloth slippers. I felt like a queen, really.

They put lots of complicated gunk on my face, arms and legs and the scary part was, I was closing my eyes all the time so I couldn't see what they were doing. The girl gave me a nice massage and started on my face.

"Um," I said, trying to be brave, "Ha-ha, uh, please don't prod my nose too much, I might get the sneezes. This is one of my problems."

The girl sort of nodded and continued kneading my nose until I couldn't stand it anymore. I started sneezing. It was embarrassing, but the girl didn't seem to mind.

"If I don't touch your nose, how will the dirt be removed, you know?" she told me gently, when what she meant to say was, "You didn't pay big bucks for nothing."

"Uh, yeah, OK, I kind of get that," was my retarded reply, when my brain was all for getting off the couch thingy and making a run for it before I exploded snot all over her again.

So yeah. After the appendagecial, I moved on to the saloon separtment (yes, Persona is damn huge) and got my hair shampooed and cut.

After that the professionals did my make-up. It was pretty intense.

The wedding was cool, the groom was good-looking. Ha-ha.

Well, till next time. See ya.
