The Price of Beauty

Guess wat i did? Yup.. I went to have those tiny bits of black dots removed.. the lady at the salon seemde quite nice.. she was telling me wat all the black dots represent.. a bit zen and quite like a fortunte-telling session.. it still hurts a fair bit when she uses the needle to poke at my face.. trying to get the cream in.. afterwhile my face was pretty red for quite a while.. the whole thing was rather fast.. slightly over half an hour and I'm done with the treatment.. although it did burn a deep hole in my pockets.. and i walked out wif spots of whit cream shattered all over my face.. think I must have scared quite a number of people who met me.. and poor ck.. who had to put up with my freaky face..

oh .. that is just the begining man.. the next day i had to work ( oh.. i really wanted to take urgent leave..) .. the white cream has washed off and now my black spots.. have become even bigger black spots.. and i looked like i had just recovered from a blot of chicken pox.. oh.. think i gave my boss quite a shock when i talked to him about something.. he kinda went black for a while... oh.... and now.. as i seat typing this... my face is covered wif cream.. hoping that the burn spots will go away..... keep my fingers crossed.. otherwise you will soon see a gal walking to ya wif great black spots on her face... so ugly.. yucks.. think i am freaking myself out too... am.. my mum still dosen't noe about it...oh... god bless..

Facials

Just went for my third facial during my off day yesterday... that set me thinking about Facials.. deemed to be extremely beneficial to the skin and adored by ladies all round.. hmm... to me.. it also represents two extremes.. hump... wat do i mean? Extremely relaxing and extremely painful.. When the beautician takes her tools and start poking at ya with the tweezers and unknown scary tools .. (well... my eyes were closed yah).. you feel as if you have reached your threshold of pain... Ouch! I can still feel the dread that fills me when i know that she has reached that unbearable stage of the treatment..

Extreme Bliss.. the other 1hr ++ where you truely feel relaxed and pampered under the beautician's skillful arms... Zzzz... You can easily fall asleep.. with the cold cold mask covering you.. the aircon blowing .. music in the background.. and the massaging on your face and body...oh.. truely haven... So, a facial for ya?? It does wonders for ya skin and burns a great hole in your pocket.. oh.. till my next facial..;p

"Big Long Now "

Yupee... I finally finished watching my "Big Long Now" .. It was 70 episodes.. and being the drama addict that i can be... phew... I've finished watching it.. Great ending.. the typical korean drama where everything ends well..with the heroine ending up happy wif the hero.. but.. hey.. she is the more capable than her man yah..kindda good a show to watch if you are feminist... " Why is a woman's status always lower than man?"

... Thank god I'm a morden gal living in morden gal Singapore.. although sometimes i still think the status quo and the gender issuse reminds deeply embedded even against this morden backdrop.. like the lower quota for female medical students.. less welfare benefits for female employees.. and even in the family.. I still vividly rem when i was younger... my parent used to say in hokkien " give birth to chicken egg you dun.. but shit you do" and words like " if you cannot study... go work in a factory" .. Now years later.. in a weird way.. i've finally proved that I'm the more brainy child to him.. that I could also study and earn as much.. if not more than my bro.. weird.. why am i suddenly recounting these memories from my childhood? When i have always known that he prefered my bro to me.. Hump.. must be the hodes of people outside kranji i saw today.. i kept thinking that i would see his face in the crowd of uncles exiting after the races.. oh well..
