Long lunch

I knew I wouldn't have much on today. So I made a facial appointment for 1.45 pm.

Left the office at 12.45 so I could get lunch at my fave Japanese takeaway on Collins. Had teriyaki chicken and spicy beef on rice. It was pretty yummy if you don't look at the oil that's oozing from the sauces. They bloody increased the price from $6.90 to $7.20 for the meal. What a rip off! They used to have pretty good okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake) too, but now it's mainly flour compared to previously where they had bits of seafood and lots of vegie.

When I finished, it was still pretty early - 1.15 pm. So I decided to walk around a bit in the city, and ventured onto Little Collins St. A sign caught my eye. The unmistakable poster with red letterings in bold - SALE! OMG! I thought the sale at Chaddy was tomorrow! Heck, I rushed in, pushing aside the old lady who was looking at flowers and trampling on a little boy's toy car on the foot path. Ok, I was just exaggerating. I walked BRISKLY towards David Jones mens casual wear and felt the world stopping as I took in the sights before me - 30% off Polo Jeans, 25% off Bonds underwear, Diesel reduced. I have never seen anything so beautiful. Tears would've streaked down my face if it was for this pink Lenny shirt that caught my eye. I always wanted one of these shirts. My fingers sifted through the sizes and I mouthed silently, thank you God, as I saw sizes S and M hanging on the rack. I'm naturally a size S, so I rushed to the counter, in anticipation of a long queue of similarly eager men wanting to look good on Friday night at Peel or Market.

Looking down at my watch, I just realised that I had 5 minutes before my facial appointment. Considered going up to look at business wear, but my conscience got the better of me and I walked over to Collins 234 instead.

The facial was fantastic! It was so good, that I fell asleep when she was massaging my face! I realised I was sleeping when I woke myself up from my snoring. Lol. I wonder what she must've thought. Well, I can't help it. That's like a much-wanted mid-afternoon siesta after a pretty heavy lunch (yes, the rice with chicken and beef was quite a bit).

The facial finished at 2.50 pm and I dreaded going back to work. But alas, I did have to go back.

As I stepped into the office, feeling really guilty coz I was also holding a David Jones bag, I quickly put my bag down and hung my coat up, all the while trying to hide from my colleagues. But when I went to collect a print out, my colleagues were smiling and me and said,"Wow Jushie, partner already huh?" And I just blushed and quickly went back to my seat trying to look busy.
