Out Whole Day

Yup, we were out the whole day today! It felt like ages since we last did that... thank God DC's leg is on it's way to recovery! :)

In the morning, DC brought me to a doctor's at Bendemeer for skin checkup. The clinic's exterior was in a state of neglect, brick walls and old discolored signboard... definitely not inviting; it's a wonder that anyone would notice the clinic esp. when it was obscured by the black tinted glass door. The interior was also old, but much better maintained. The consultation room doors looked new, a contrast to the records cabinets, the ceiling fans and the waiting area seats which were all in their first original states...


As we still had some time before our next appointment, DC decided to watch the movie "Michael Clayton" at GV Plaza. I find the movie slow moving, story only got interesting after 1.5 hr into the show. It is a thriller... Was I thrilled? Hmm...I don't think so. There were a lot of dialogues, little actions, and sometimes confusing. Overall the show was still watchable and the ending was good! Bad deeds were exposed and the murderer was brought to justice! :) Need reasons to watch the show? Here's two: (1) To see George Clonney as Michael Clayton, he still looks dashing in his late forties. (2) It's got 4 Golden Globe Nominations.

After the show, it's time for our facial. As usual, the session was good but they forgot to do eye treatments for us! It was promised that we would have eye treatment for every sessions... When I checked with the therapist and the aesthetitician, they both told me that it was not stated down in the package. When we were booking our next appointment, I saw the consultant whom we purchased the package from and brought this up to her attention, she confirmed that our package did come with eye treatments and the oops, reprimanded the therapist. Anyway, our next appointment would be a spa session. I look forward to it...


In the evening, it's back to GV Plaza for another movie "Elizabeth: The Golden Age". I enjoyed this show better than "Michael Clayton". There's both romance and war in the show. All the gowns worn by the Queen were very nice and elaborate, I like them all. There's a part that got me all confused: Who exactly does Raleigh (Clive Owen) like - the Queen or the maid?

We had late dinner at Secret Receipe. It was a satisfying meal as I finally get to eat the cheesecake! :) The last time we were there, we were told that the signature marble cheesecake was unavailable.

After dinner, we went to the info counter to make redemption and enter the CNY lucky draw contest. We were told by the staff to come back the next day and that the counter will close at 9:30pm. The time then was not even 9:30pm yet. Moreover, the shopping mall closes at 10pm and there was no notice that informs the shoppers that the counter closes at 9:30pm. Luckily DC and a man behind us in the queue fought for our rights, the staff had no choice but to allow the few of us in front to proceed. We were rather displeased with the customer service, it was also obvious there was understaff problem. When we got home, DC submitted an online feedback to the management of the mall. Hopefully, the situation would improve before this festive season ends.

Here's the notice that the staff hastily put up after we complained.
