Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus: My New Facial Care

As tweeted, I woke up with a really stiff neck and shoulder this morning, which hurt very much like hell, if you were to ask me. This is probably due to all these stress and pressure I had been having lately. I barely slept well or enough when drilling myself to prepare for the IELTS test. Apart from that, my sleeping posture could also be a factor too, I guess. You wouldn't wanna find out how I sleep on the cold nights. Practically, I just wear two jackets, long pants, thick socks, snuggle and "hibernate" like a polar bear underneath three layers of blankets, yet still feeling cold.

Don't get me wrong though, we do have heaters at home, but I insisted not to use it 'cause of my skin condition. It itches so badly at this time of the year, especially my face, the skin gets so dry and starts peeling off on both my nose and cheek area. Winter is finally here! And I'm in a desperate dose of moisturizing facial care that works wonder. So I went shopping with Mr. Choo yesterday, we ended up buying the whole set of Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus *spoiled rotten* and received a complimentary gift set worth of $157!!! Ladies, you gotta love its gorgeous rosy smell ♥ 

Hanaichi Japanese and Cheng's Chinese Restaurants

Whilst we were still in Brisbane, we headed to Hanaichi for some decent Japanese cuisine for lunch. Evidently, it was not our first but third time visiting the restaurant located on level 3 of Wintergarden Brisbane. The interior has grown to fit in several more dining tables now, since the last time we came. Same goes to the Wintergaden building which stood out looking stunning after a $100 million worth of facelift.

Sunday Morning at Shingle Inn Brisbane

Day 2 of Mr. Choo's birthday getaway, we woke up to a sunny yet chilly Sunday morning in the city of Brisbane. Supposedly, we should have departed for Gold Coast after we checked out from Mercure, but plans changed due to unforeseen circumstances (sounds so serious, LOL) and we had to go on foot in cold (not fun at all) to find the nearest possible cafe for breakfast.

House Warming Lunch on Saturday

Our Saturday afternoon was delighted with a house warming lunch somewhere, not so far away from the place we live. The weather remained cold and rainy today, which anyhow became the most perfect day for fried vermicelli with lamb curry, yum! In case you wanna know, that was how much I ate for brunch, plus three barbecued chicken wings. Good fats food overdosed!!!

I can barely recall when was the last time I got invited to hang out with a bunch of Muslim friends (practically, we were the only two Chinese there), so to be safe and in respect of their culture, I went wearing a long sleeve knitted sweater and a pair of long denim jeans. To top it all up, we brought two packs of soft drinks along, since we couldn't come up with any other things that are halal and alcohol free.

The Wheel of Brisbane and Night Views of Brisbane City

At last, I'm proud to say out loud that we've "conquered" the Wheel of Brisbane with honors!!! The ferries wheel which I had been wanting and dreaming to ride since the day I laid my eyes on is now a history. Another tick off on the to-do list! *cheers* This attraction of South Bank was built about 4 years ago, in celebrations of the 20th anniversary of World Expo 88 and the 150th anniversary of the State of Queensland 1859–2009. Initially, it was scheduled to be operated from 2008 to 2010, but has now been extended to remain until 2012, just enough time for us two to come back for the joyful ride, sweeeeet! =)
