Long Weekend

elusivekIt was a looooonnnnnggg weekend for me. Today is a public holiday (All Soul's Day), and it's on a Tuesday, so I decided to take Monday off as well. Four-day weekend was nice. For the soap class, since the lady is doing "compensation" classes for us (since the pandemic scare last week had everything put on hold) so the schedule had changed. It was fun :D
Spent the morning at Starbucks writing postcards!
Oh, I went with my friends to a new place called The Nookery. It's really a take-out cafe in a Harry Potter-esque or castle library interior. Definitely Instagrammable. Their special though, is not coffee, but hot chocolate. The pull to try out the place was because of the touted 100% dark chocolate on the menu. HOWEVER, we were duped. They said they "ran out" today. I don't believe them. I asked when they will restock, the guy said "tomorrow". Hard to believe.
Definitely not decoration easily seen in this part of town. Maybe in The Londoner (a new-ish casino/hotel/mall complex). It's cute.
I like this under-the-stairs nook/shrine thing they did. And they had really rare and artistic books. Gashlycrumb Tinies! Tim Burton Octopus Boy, and some weird artwork too.
It was packed. Apparently it takes forever to make their hot chocolate (they really melt a chocolate block and not cocoa powder)
Hard at work to fulfill orders. The Hot Chocolate wasn't bad, but really, wasn't anything to tell home about. I was interested because of their advertised 100% dark chocolate, but they didn't have it, and instead I had a 70% dark chocolate. Hm. Maybe I should have gotten the 50% chocolate with a shot of Baileys or Kahlua instead. I dunno. But I don't think I'm going there again... unless it's guaranteed I get the 100% chocolate, LOL.
As the government mandated temporary closure of beauty salons and nail parlors, I had ordered some nail stickers/fake nails on Taobao. They mucked up part of my order, and as an apology sent me a couple extra of random designs. Since it's my first time using, I thought I'd use the freebies up first, because my nail is not 100% flat and smooth. There is still a thin layer of the gel previously.
I got the drill/gun thing to thin out the old gel, but there's still a thin layer, so it's not totally smooth, and I figured anything I put on will very quickly fall off. So, I used the random freebie. How cute is this LOL. I dislike my nails being this long, but I suppose it's good practice? The package says it should hold between 5-7 days. Let's see how my rough handling will keep it hahaha!
