A day in the life of a Tai Tai

Some may wonder why i call myself a home-maker wannabe rather than a Tai Tai wannabe..well, i figured that being a home-maker is just the rite of passage to achieving "nirvana" - Tai Tai-dom!
Lucky for me, I had my first taste of Tai Tai-hood today! Colin and I decided to take a day-trip to Johor Bahru this morning. He had wanted to practice his golf before our Bintan trip with his uncle next weekend, while I would spend the 4 hours at City Square, doing grooming and shopping!

Armed with my Aldo handbag, 250 Ringgit, and my credit cards, we set off for my first day out since I stopped working! YAY!
Traffic was really light on the causeway, which is really a refreshing change from the heavy traffic that we always experienced on our weekend DVD and groceries buying trip. My first stop in City Square was Nippon Yataimuba restaurant on level 4. Hey, it won't be glamourous if a tai tai's stomach growled while doing her nails or hair right?


After filling my stomach with the Wakayama Ramen (quite yummy with fatty pork which melts in your mouth), it was time for some major grooming! First stop was at a nail salon on level 4 for a Classic OPI manicure and pedicure. After doing my nails, I did a ear candling to detox my ears *eeew*. Last stop was at a salon next to Jantzen where I did a Redken All Soft hair treatment.
The end result? Soft flouncy hair, clean ears, and perfect nails! The damage? Merely 200 Ringgit (S$90) for 4 hours of pampering! I could get used to this life! :)

err...actually it didn't feel eeky or uncomfortable...just a little warm and hissing noise. At the end of the session, you get to see how much ear wax had been extracted from your ears! quite cool!
