Tired, frustration, late nights, bad luck – these were my keywords for the past weeks. But finally I’ve got my day off this Friday, and pushed everything aside and enjoyed my day off!
I had my early start with Physiotherapy. Fortunately my back pain from the recent injury has gotten pretty well, phew. But I developed a numbness in my left thigh which is apparently related to the back injury. More physio visits in place. *sigh*
Then I headed to Billy’s exhibition – The Red Balloon – again for lunch and met up with Billy (A Table For Two), Richard (Here Comes The Food) and Simon (The ♥ of food).
Our initial plan was to grab the Wagyu beef burger from Plan B by Becasse then eat at the gallery.
“I don’t mind any food. Burger, Katsusando or whatever” Billy replied to us on Twitter.
When did we mention the Katsu Sandwich? LOL So we picked up his *hinting* and I ordered 4 Katsu Sandwiches from Atomic Espresso cafe in Neutral bay. (thanks to Richard for picking them up on his way.) And damn my Nigella Lawson moment with the sandwiches, I forgot to take pictures!

I also brought the best beverage to go with the Katsu Sando – Coca Cola of course. (No diet coke nor Coke Zero!) and Funwari Meijin that by the way I’m surprised myself that I managed to keep my hands off till then. Richard also brought his loquat jelly from Japan. Woohoo.

Yeah, that’s right, lick it. I said LICK IT BIYAAAATCH!

Then I was off to my Ganbanyoku wrap and massage! My friend Junko runs Beauty lounge – a cosy spa salon on Harris street in Ultimo, co-operated with Cut lounge. Oh my god, this wrap has pretty much the same effect as real one, and I was sweating like hell!

Dudes and boys, you might think “man, spa & facial?” but try once and I’m sure you’d hook on it. After turning 30, washing face in the shower isn’t enough, seriously. Hmmm rejuvenation. The spa always have special of the month – ask her for the special offers of the month.

haha..i like how u picked up the ‘hinting’ of ur friend..hehehe…
Billy looks like he’s totally having a Nigella moment right there! I always feel almost sorry for guys-they miss out on spa treatments as some say it’s not a guy thing. I would die without spa treatments. Good on you for getting them-you don’t even have to be a metrosexual to get one in my opinion. It’s so relaxing and who’d say no to a nice massage?
@hcpen
Hehehe and you probably can guess me rolling my eyes and “Okaaaay, fine!” LOL
@Lorraine
Oh totally! I mean, I’d rather question some guys whats so ‘manly’ about shaving legs or prick eyebrows… LOL
Haha… Have I been targeted by The Ring
?
@FFIchiban
Hahahaha I wasn’t sure if it was okay to put this picture with your face. Or you’re cursed. Has Sadako call you yet? LOL
oh man.. i’m going for a ganbanyoku.
i miss the onsens in hokkaido!
@sam
I miss Onsens too.. I heard that some Korean Ginseng bathhouse is in Sydney…?
Yeah ganbanyoku is now my favourite spa thing! Especially during the winter. If you ever visited, mention that you were referred by me
Really there is?! Wow should definitely try and find that!
The closest to an onsen I know of is up in the blue mountains, but I haven’t been there before.
@sam
Oh yeah I heard about that place in the blut mountains. It seems to be rather outside spa with swimsuit kinda place. Ginseng Bathhouse – i googled it- seems to have been taken over by a spa company. Body inc.
