Updates on Miumew

Miumew is now 3x the size she was when she first came. You can feel the pressure of her weight when she walks across your rib cage. My arm became numb after she slept on it. This didn't use to happen.

Her coat is more grey now - her undercoat used to be white but it's taken on a light grey tint. Her eyes are also showing a very light blue tint.

The hubby hasn't been able to trim her claws because she's always so excited to see him home at the end of the work day. I think she's squirreled the claw clipper away too. Hopefully we can find it soon. She sank a claw in my foot yesterday, and scratched my lower eyelid in bed this morning.

She still likes to bite and scratch - anywhere except the scratching post. She left a scratch mark on my right forearm this morning, parallel to the one she left on the same arm 3+ weeks ago.

She hasn't quite taken to her new toy though. It's a cat massage centre. Got something for her to bite to stimulate her gums, and textured surfaces to massage her when she rubs her body against them. Too bad she doesn't know that. =P

SKII Facial

My sister sent me a link to a promotion for $50 off an SKII facial so I went yesterday.

It started with a skin analysis - you know, one of those machines that magnify your skin wherever the scope rolls over. The therapist showed me what good skin and bad skin looked like. First time I did such a thing. Was mildly grossed out.

As my skin was rather "dull", the therapist recommended that I take the illuminating radiance (or something like that) facial, which was the third least expensive (normal price $160). Since I haven't been for a facial in a long time and I had been running around Little India and Chinatown the past two days while recovering from a flu, I decided to pamper myself and go with it.

(On a side note, I also pampered myself with a good lunch at The Handburger. Food tastes good, but I wouldn't recommend you order the onion rings and I guess similarly, the calamari. It tasted good - onion rings were sweet, batter was crispy, but it was WAY too oily.)

The facial itself was supposed to be an hour. I think it took 1h 15 min in all. It was pretty good. My face still feels "firmer" than usual (although it could be a psychological effect having spent so much on a facial). Would have been nice to take a longer nap though. =P

The staff weren't too pushy with the products and packages at the end of the facial. Could be because I told them that I'm not based in Singapore.

A good experience overall.
