Roger's Revisited

Over the weekend, Hubs wanted to go for cream bath and immediately we thought of Roger's. I would say the last weekend has been a massage weekend for me. On Friday, before I met up with Hubs and his colleagues, I went to Mitra Sehat for 1.5 hours body session which cost me RM 50 (including Rp 20,000 tip for the masseuse). On Saturday, Roger's it was for cream bath. You can read about the low down details of it in my previous post. And so off we went, after lunch at Mastro.

Happy face after a good treatment!

 OK.. I did something which I previously dare not. For the heck of it, I requested for a blow-dry. The stylist, before she started, asked if I would prefer a "normal" v.s. a "mengembung" style. Guessing that "mengembung" would mean puffed-up hair ala mak datin, I replied "normal" is fine.

This is how my normal home blow-drying will result...

TA-DA! Normal blow-dry Indonesia style. Hubs called me Power Puff that day.

The closest I get to look like a Mak Datin, don't you agree? ;p

A night of fun at T-Rex Family Karaoke at Gandaria City

Got invited to one of Hubs company outing. And this karaoke is the nicest one I have been to so far. We had a big room to fit something like 15 of us with 3 plasma TV to hoot and computerised songs selection.

Check out the psychedelic disco ball!

A bongo to jazz up the fun!

Smoke machine in action!

Scoreboard to tell you if you can make it as a singer :)

One thing I do realised, is that Indonesia is more successful in establishing a single-nation identity than us. Having observed Hub's colleagues on Friday night karaoke session, irregardless of race and religion, all of them can sing Indonesian songs, be it pop, rock, and even dangdut!

Recipe for Sleepless in Jakarta

I suffer from the occasional insomnia. Mostly is triggered by a snoring husband. Rarely, the late night green tea/black tea cuppa.. But tonight is ESPECIALLY bad! Because all these ingredients decided to jump into the mixing bowl at one go...

- 1 tablet of migraine meds taken at lunch time (which contained 100mg of caffeine) to ward off the ominous unilateral headache
- 1 teaspoon of Tie Kuan Yin tea leaves steeped in a pot of hot water, of which the last sip was taken at something like close to 10pm (I should have known better, but alas, confidence got the better of me)
- The snoring husband, which aggravated the caffeine overload
- Finding the right position, shifting from one side to the other with a not-so-soundproof pillow over the opposite ear...
- ... to finding the right room to sleep in (I shifted from master room to the spare room and finally settling for the hall because spare room is polluted by the cacophony of late night/early morning Jakarta traffic
- The resultant: A hyperactive brain with synapses firing off like crazy with all these ungodly-hour activities

It's gonna be a loooooong day ahead.. *trying to fake a yawn*

*smacks forehead* GOSH! I'M SO AWAKE!!
