Project work

I dislike dragging my lap top to someone else's home to work. Worst of all, I tend to lose my way, walk a lot and waste money on a couple of calls...
Anyway, it started like this again but the day unfolded well.

Nice tea, cool team mates, lotsa brainstorming... chance on a great idea,
Hungry: decided to have lunch at a pizzeria n haagen dazs (my mates' idea of desert, not mine)
back to work... have some coffee in the house... distribute work...
Rush to buy presentation material & do some market research before the shops close at 7pm(early!)

Brent & I paired off for the material buying & market research. It was the first time I rode on a red vespa in Paris.

We rode from Bastille to Madeline. It was super exciting to see the streets zip by, I spotted 2 KFCs, the theatre of diner de Cons, and.. a cute french scooterist with a Prada messenger bag (he was riding side by side with us for for 5 traffic lights!). I caught him checking out my fendi messenger bag after I checked out his... c'est juste quoi! Btw, scooterists actually do chit-chat at the traffic lights!

Anyway, one of the shops we visited was really sensual, the lady even gave me a sample of their parfum which I like a lot. I must write more about this shop next time. It is a lingerie shop called fifi! orh.. I finally revealed our great idea :)

In the mood for more parfum, we rode to Champs Elysee Sephora. Brent was interning there last weekend and I was introduced to some of the staffs.. and the regional VP!

There was an event going on, the staffs were dancing on the cashier-top, Mac gals were braless in plunging tops walking around in bright wigs and colourful tights.
I had a delicious Kir and was invited to have a facial at Biotherm while Brent went socialising and nibbling. After the relaxing facial, I was dragged off to the Chanel counter for a make-over.

The colour for this season is blue! And it looked pretty good on me :)

Er my photo was not very well-taken. It is a gd make-up effort considering she took only 10 min.
Do you think I look slutty??

oh and I got the Fendi bag in HK DFS last jul. Im going Italy in 3 weeks time & will visit the factory outlets in Florence. Now saving money... meaning cutting down restaurants so that I can buy a new bag.

Looking at the Chanel make up again, I think it was too slutty for me.
Think I felt it was nice due to the overall experience.
Its great to have a skill like you - in make up. Isnt it great to be able to help a friend and receive a thank you gift in return. Its so meaningful.
I wish Ive a friend who is a hair dresser... I need a hair cut but I cant trust someone here.
Just like I cant trust a doc, so Ive nver been to the doc yet.
