17.01.10: For My Birthday

0 Comments

Woo! Spent the day shopping (fun fun) with lots of walking and trying and buying (yay for shoes, shu uemura eyelash curler and little things!) and then having a nice meal at a new place called Mizuya (George St, Town Hall).

As the name suggests, it’s a Japanese restaurant, and they also have a karaoke bar (whose pricings confuse me). It’s quite a lovely place; from receiving the many exuberant “Irashaimase”s with every step we took as we walked inside, the ambience and the lighting on the display sakura tree, to their service – everything was pleasant.

After being introduced to the touch-screen ordering menu (only a select set of menus for lunchtime), we chose our food (“Ooh, I want this” *touch, confirm), and the status of each item were constantly being updated (Next to the edamame was a “cooking” icon whilst our beverage was “being served”). Throughout the course, we can check what we have ordered and the amount it comes to, so there are no mistakes there. We took our time, displaying the food and taking photos (…) and eating, without being gawked at (sometimes, we feel the need to hurry when they look over, even if it’s just a “do you want anything” look)… When we were done, we proceeded to touch the checkout button, and the waitress brought our bill.

My drink: Capricornus because I’m a Capricorn and because it sounded appealing. It was really good actually. But only when cold; I remember the texture of the kiwi and kiwi seeds when it wasn’t as chilled and it was…

Aries: for no other reason than it having passionfruit in it!

That was a first time at Mizuya, but I also have another two “first time”s in one – I decided to wax my eyebrows (1. shaping my eyebrows; 2. waxing… that’s right, it was my first time waxing! I had laser hair removal done before I waxed!). I’ve always wanted to have my eyebrows shaped, preferably by tweezing… Whilst shopping at Myer, AG told me he saw a parlour for shaping eyebrows, waxing lips etc… A lady came and speak to me and asked if I needed help… Now it whilst people to this and more every day, I felt a little anxious… But I thought, oh well, let’s go for it. They told me waxing was the best way for first time (she told me one girl asked for it to be plucked, and ended up in tears because it was just that bad), quick and easy. It didn’t feel too bad… until the lower brow. Ouch! >< It was over soon enough, and she concealed any redness for me, which was good. She told me to look after them every month. Woo! I felt good – because I must say, I loved my new brows!
