Survivor Pimple - Arrrrgggghhh


Today I am on leave. Supposed to go for facial to extract the toxins accumulated during last Friday's clubbing and to remove the disturbing pimple on the right side of my cheek. BUT I was played out by my long-time beautician. I am so pissed off! Called her last Friday to confirm today's appointment..Took leave happily with the idea that I can be pretty again after today and to play safe, I called her this morning to double confirm. After 5-6 missed calls, she called back to say that she couldn't make it today and even had the cheek to suggest I come tomorrow or call her on Friday to confirm Saturday's appointment. I was so angry! I told her that I took leave because she said she could make it today and it was not easy to reach her. Sensing my anger, she assured me that she would call me this coming Friday instead.

Told Skinny Bones about it and he shot me, " Find others la". Easier said that done! This beautician has been with me since I was 12, when my nose was covered with blackheads and excessive oil. The trust has been established; plus horror stories of newbie beauticians practising their skills on customers, resulting in scars and such. Just like hairdressers, it is not easy to find one who suits you. After a disastrous cut in Jean Yip, I lost all hope of finding the Perfect Hairdresser. However, by a stroke of chance, I got to know a good hairdresser at Reds via a Ivy Lee-lookalike tai tai receptionist. He is really good..I visited him once every month for the past year. However, when one gets too good, one gets complacent. I began to find his service sucks, despite his fantastic skills. It took me great courage to try Amy's hairdresser at Shunji Matsuo though I like her symmetrical bob or "concave" very much. Went for it and got a bob that I like very much. BUT the 2nd time when I went to trim, he cut it a tad short..Boooo....

Last Friday - Grey Sky



This picture was taken last Friday at a ladies in Swissotel. Beautiful isn't it? Like this picture because it reflected the many feelings I experienced at that point of time.

First of all, it was the last day of my chopstick sista, Rightie. We spent almost 2 years together in the same coy, nevermind how tough those days were, or how nasty the Boss was. Was very sad that she made the decision to leave, but on the other hand, felt that she should leave because sales was no longer what she had wanted. If this is something not you want, why bother? We went to Sushi Tei to have dinner and then to New Asia Bar to have some drinks.

The climax came when we were about to leave. Rightie hugged both Amy and Adeline, but not me. She knew that if she were to do so, I would crumble..that's why I love her for that - We have developed this tacit understanding over the years. I quickly hopped onto the cab, hoping that I would not be too emotional after seeing Amy tearing. Though I was suffering from heartpain, I wished her all the best..

Secondly is some sickening idiot who caused me grieve for 2 days..Don't know how to begin or end. But I recalled missing him alot alot alot..Recalled being at New Asia Bar and looking at the lights of Singapore. Was very touched that it could be so beautiful at night. Yet at the same super sad that he caused me such pain. Drinking no longer drown all sorrows, instead it compounds, such that nearly cried out loud. Wonder how he was feeling at that point of time. Whatever it is, we have cleared the air and we knew we are important in each other's hearts : )

By the way, the beautiful pictures of Amy, Ade, Rightie and me can be found in my Pink Corset
