sharing my painful experience earlier dis afternoon wif all of u... went for a facial and ended up wif a face dat is a mess of red blotches... hehe and again i ask myself the question "why did you put urself thru dis? havent u had enuf the last time? and the time before dat?" hehehe...

dis isnt my first outing... but its very diffferent from the ones i had before... in terms of overall ambience of the place... my very first time was during my NIE days... actually it was juz after our final sem... we were waiting for our results and all... went der wif my galpals... the place was so chic... kinda expensive-looking... so my virgin facial experience was ok... except for one particular part wer i have dis warm air thing on my face... and i had difficulty breathing coz its kinda blocking my nose... and i remembered thinking "is dis supposed to happen?" hehehe well dat was some time ago, in 2004...

fast forward to dec 2005 or was it early 2006... heee i cant quite remember... and once again i braced myself for another facial adventure... dis time wif my 2 sisters... dis 2nd place... i like... very the resort style... relaxed... nice ambience... wood everywhere... even the ladies tending to us were dressed accordingly... hehe tight tshirt and wraparound kain batik thingy... the experience was ok... except for the extraction part... gosh dat was painful, my eyes were tearing... but i loved the part when dey put this mask on our face and den they left us for like... i duno... half an hour? (seemed pretty long) and we could go to zzzzzzzz blissfully... wif the ethnic type of music playing... problem is... i could hear my sister snoring beside me... hehehe so i didnt really get to snooze... we went der a second time several weeks later and dat was it... didnt make time for subsequent apppointments...

fast forward again to dis afternoon... i decided dat its best to choose a place dat is nearer to my house so dat i wont be too lazy to go der regularly... plus the cabfare wont amt to much... hehehe... and dis place is in stark contrast to the resort-like and tranquil place i visited last year... situated in a shopping centre, it looks small from the outside but once u step thru the sliding doors and into the place... waaaah... the beds were placed so near one another... they really optimise every inch of space i tink... hehe... and its totally not serene... as i lay down on the bed... i could hear every single detail of the ongoing conversation from the bed beside mine... lucky thing i dun understand mandarin... which brings me to the next topic... the music dats playing in der... some kinda cantopop songs interchanged wif instrumental lounge music... hehe

i have no complaints abt the service tho... the lady was very kind... she even ran out to grab smtg to fan my face with when i said that the thing she juz applied on my face was a lil biting... hehehe she was fanning away dutifully, which made me giggle... hehe and she laughed along and asked if dat helped... i had to bear wif the normal torture... the extraction part... gosh i almost forgot how much dat hurts... tho she had already warned me... and i had expected it since my last facial was like a year ago... i shudder to tink of the amount of crap dat had gathered and set up house in my pores or wateva... then came another painful experience... using the laser technology thingy to get rid of black spots... dat freckles thingy on my cheeks... wow dat hurts man... it better work and these spots better fall off in the 7 days, as promised...

soooo... will be going der again in 2 weeks time... and hopefully i have the drive to go der every 2 weeks from now on... since its like 10 minutes lrt ride... oh and the liv game has started and i've missed like 10 minutes... shite... gotta go...
