Suddenly, one day last December .. As we were walking around in the mall, I turned to The Hubby and told him that I missed her. I missed her friendship, the things we shared and laughed over .. Her friendship.
I just don't miss her psychotic nature. Bwahahaha!
What to do? It was a whole package. And while our friendship lasted, it was good. Then when she shot it all to hell, it was truly regrettable. Truly.
We won't ever go back to being best friends. Not even friends I think. I just can't help but feel sad. I used to be more sad. It's better now.
Thankfully, I have a posse of gal pals and a bestie whom I love dearly. I love being with them. Bestie asked recently if I would ever be friends again with ex-friend. I said no.
Doesn't stop me from thinking back on our wonderful relationship. And all the fun times we had.

Happy Valentine's Day!
The Hubby was sick. Really sick. He's been sick for awhile now. A particularly nasty flu that's been dragging and so the poor man has been out of it for awhile now.
I really didn't expect anything for Valentine's Day since he was unwell.
He had flowers delivered. So sweet. They're gorgeous. I love them!
Hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day too!

An epiphany today ...
Firstly, although I MISS my long nails .. there were an absolute pain to type with .. on a PC keyboard AND on the iPhone keypad (cos I would misjudge where my finger pads were no thanks to my nails) .. So I often found it a chore to blog .. cos there were just too many typos.
After my gelish nails for Christmas grew out ... the sides that had no protective nail polish .. well, some chipped and a few outright broke .. *sob* (side note - gelish is an awesome solution to those of you whose nails chip easily)
So, after chopping off those few nails, I decided to just have the manicurist trim them all .. had I done extensions, there would be quite a number to do .. so forget it. Nails grow .. and pretty fast too. Plus, there was the keyboard problem .. and I did occasionally stab my kids with my nails ... lol.
Anyway, as I was sitting there and getting my finger nails and toe nails attended to by TWO manicurists, I had an epiphany:
Wow, so this is how it feels like to be a princess .. HAHAHA! .. Ok, maybe not Kate Middleton style .. but since my manicurists are from Vietnam (they DID have emperors) .. heck, I could've been an Empress back in the old days. Ok, Ok .. more like Empress DOWAGER .. lol. Ok, don't get me wrong .. I LOVE my nail salon manicurists .. they are lovely ladies .. very polite and friendly and that's why I love going there .. that and they haven't said a mean word about my gigantor feet .. (lol) of which I am eternally grateful.
Anyway, I reckon that's why most women have their nails done. It's nice to have someone else prettify you ... well, at least your nails. I think it's the same for going to the hair salon or a spa or going for a facial. Face it, men do not know how to pamper women .. besides buying us stuff. While I do appreciate all the stuff buying .. I think we need to pay for other women (or men if they work in a hair salon) to help us achieve said pampering that we lack from our men.
The Hubby thinks I should save the money and just not go to hair/beauty/nail salons.
No way José
Without my eyebrow threading, hair colouring, facials and manicures/pedicures ... I would look CRAPPY .. I mean, come onnnnn ... I already don't look like Maggie Q (the lady that plays Nikita on Fox TV) . .. or ANY of the VS models .. I think I should be allowed to TRY to at least NOT look completely UGLY, right?
LOL.
Anyway, I am really pleased with my nails .. short though they may be now. They will be longish soon, so until then, I can use the PC keyboard and my iPhone keypad without swearing ..

January is over ..
Seriously, time is going by really fast. One minute it was December 2012 .. And now, it's February 2013.
Ok .. So it looks like we aren't going anywhere this year. That's just sad. One whole year and we ain't stepping out of this country at all. I am planning to bring the girls to the new aquarium at RWS. Can't wait. And to the Gardens. Haven't been there yet too.
I met up with Pei Ling for tea. I've missed her. And I did high tea with a couple of girlfriends. Saw my bestie a few times In January. So yay for me.
Celebrated my eldest and youngest birthdays too in January. Claudia turned 14 and Charlotte turned 2.
There is a week long school holidays in March. That's something to look forward to.
