After my China Town outing I was looking forward to the weekend! Unfortunately, when I woke up Saturday morning I was feeling a little under the weather. Patric had been sick with some sort of flu or virus and I was afraid that I had picked it up. Needless to say, we didn't get out a whole lot last weekend.
We did go to the Curve for a little while on Saturday. I needed to go by the nail shop to see about getting some nails that had started to lift fixed and we needed to pick up some things at the grocery store. While we were there we ate lunch and looked around at a few other places but we weren't there long. We spent the rest of the weekend at home.
When I went to the nail shop I figured the fix would be as easy as gluing down what was lifted. This is what I had always done in the past. When I asked the lady in the shop for glue she looked at me like I was an alien from outer space. When it hit her what I was going to do with it she asked me, in a very baffled tone, if I was going to try to fix them myself. I said yes and was given a small tube of glue. Suffice it to say that the glue here is not like the glue back home so I realized quickly that this probably wasn't the best way to go about fixing the lifted nails. The glue that they had was way too glumpy and sticky. I'm used to a more fluid glue that will almost find its way to the spot that needs to be repaired. I reluctantly made an appointment to come in and have the nails fixed by filing them down and basically doing a refill. This meant another three hours of being worked on but the bonus was that they weren't going to charge me. It was kind of like a warranty job.
Tuesday came which was the day of my appointment. I went to the Curve a little early so I could do some shopping and get a chai at The Coffee Bean. I wound up not buying anything but I did find some clothes that I might just have to go back and get. I do need clothes even though I know I have some coming in about two weeks. All of the walking I do here has me doing well with weight loss! =)
I headed to the nail shop and got ready to spend the next three hours sitting in the same chair. I'm grateful that I have the Kindle app on my phone. At least I knew I would be able to read. When I went in on Saturday to make this appointment there were only four nails that needed to be repaired. By the time I arrived on Tuesday there were nine. Crazy, huh? I have no idea why this is happening. I have them using the exact same product that Tracy used back home. Every now and then a nail would lift after Tracy did them but it wasn't in less than a week and it was never this many at once. So I had them try to use their bonding agent this time...maybe that will be the permanent fix. I'll just have to wait and see what happens. I sure would hate to have to give up my nails but it could become a reality...
Wednesday doesn't have much going on. I'm heading into KLCC to go to another Christmas Bazaar with my friend Sharon. But Thursday has a highlight...I'm going on a jungle walk!!!
See you next post!!
