This weekend was a short one compared to the past few weeks where we've had either a Monday or a Friday off. Of course, we get a day off this Tuesday again (as it is Buddha's birthday), which makes this the fourth '4-day' week in a row. Happy days.
This weekend was spent:
1. Getting a hair cut from a really friendly stylist at Tony & Guy
2. Shopping in Central at these cute boutique stores and the newly opened Uniqlo in the mall near my apartment.
Takeaway: Discounts do not equal savings - I always buy more than what I need and never end up using a lot of it
3. At a one year old's birthday party, with a good mix of kiddos, cupcakes, some champagne and cookies. And then putting together the birthday gift, which is going to be a book with some of the pictures I took of the kiddo and the party - figured this would be better than a toy or clothes that won't last forever.
Takeaway: Sorting through over 500 pictures to get to the 20 pictures that will be printed in the book and then arranging the pages cannot be achieved without a headache and some wine.
4. Exploring the streets of HK while I waited for the footballer to get his haircut
Takeaway: The temperature at 9am is not reflective of the temperature at 1pm. Jeans and 30 degrees C aren't the best of friends.
5. Blogging and listening to commentary on the ManU game late into Sunday night (actually Monday morning now)
Takeaway: Waking up in a few hours to get ready for work is going to be a real bitch.

Takeaway: Aveda is no longer a favourite. Also, everytime I leave a salon I mysteriously seem to walk out either with a whole bunch of products or with the idea that I need to come back for all the treatments they offer
