another cold turkey session

had another cold turkey session, figuratively speaking.. instead of waxing and suffering the pain every time, have decided to take it all off permanently by IPL..

first the salon gal slathered some very cold lotion on the spot, think to numb the area as well as to lessen the heat.. then she kind of used some kind of the nozzle to beam the area section by section.. the feeling was like getting bitten by red ants.. but she could tone down the sensation if you find it too painful..

a bit weird lying there with the legs spread.. esp when she needed to do the bum area.. but thankfully, it lasted for less than 15 mins.. much less time needed as compared to waxing.. but according to the gal, it will take about 20 days for the fur to fall off.. as hair follicles renew themselves every 28 days.. so hence, i have not seen the effect so far.. it's better work, as i'm going to pay quite a bit for this procedure..

camel eyes, almost

went for long-awaited facial with VT's mum today.. she was having some promotions on a number of treatments... while i was having a facial, somehow got interested and asked her about the eyelash curling promotion.. auntie asked me if i wanted to try.. on impluse, i was like "why not?"

was facinating how people come up with this kind of thing.. first, she applied some eye glue onto the eyelids, and then she laid out this synthetic rollers over the lids.. using a fine instrument, she tipped up the lashes so that they are sticking to the rollers.. finally, she applied 2 types of perming lotion, for 20mins and 10mins consecutively..

the effect: camel-like eyes.. hee! granted, my lashes are not very long.. but it did curl in quite a quirky way.. going to have fun in the office next week when i applied mascara along with it.. according to auntie, it's supposed to last for about 3 weeks.. but think, with the stiff stubborness of my lashes, it may not be that long..

as for eye extensions, the other facinating invention, it is supposed to last for as long as 2 months.. wow wow! that's quite unbelieveable... maybe next time, during the Xmas season or the next D&D i have in Dec. Hee! Gonna act the simpering female just so i can flutter them more..

what a small world

initially planned to have drinks with the gals from my team tonight.. but couple of them already made plans.. so only me and ec, the new gal, had dinner together.. at this japanese restuarant at bugis which turned out to be quite awful..

as we talked, it turned out she knew a few somebody who knew someone else she would later know.. she and ss had worked for the same old nasty boss at another bank before.. she also knew the fren of someone who was an ex-colleague of our big boss now.. and she is also quite a gd fren of moo's ex...

wow wow.. she was so surprised when she saw the photo of me and him together.. hee! ain't life sometimes a kick in the head? we were both deja vu...

reverse snow white

attended my company's d&d last night, the theme was 'fairytales'. unexpectedly, a lot of people dressed up.. which also made it more difficult for them to win the best dressed prize as the competition was so keen..

a group from my former team came dressed as snow white and the seven drawfs.. man, we couldnt believe it.. dont know how they managed to get an upsized snow white costume, but amazingly, it was a big guy who wore it... my gosh, barf!! haha! but it was very funny, and really in the spirit of the theme..

couple of peter pan casts too! one of the captain hook had a crocodile float which he carried along with him everywhere he went.. another captain hook had a real walking crocodile, manual driven.. as in the guy who dressed as the croc had to use his 'craws' to open/close its jaws...

many fairies 'floating' around.. one of my team member, this very petite gal, was in the committee and was dressed as a princess.. so sweet, and pretty.. now we all knew what she would look like on her wedding day... if her irritating beau from the company saw her, she will ger free juice for the rest of the working life there...

the team which won the best dressed was the 'journey to the west' cast.. not too sure how this novel can be classified as a fairy tale.. but this group really went all out to win... was really really good, they got their boss to be the 'tang san zhang', and somehow, nezha was in the story too.. the guy was wearing that short skirt, with circular canes as the weapons and he sported princess leia' bun hair...

kumar had a standup comedy performance, was very sex.. talked about how to make love, various bird sizes etc.. how his performance was approved by government cos both he and th president are indian.. very racist.. mentioning the birds, he said:

indian: do not ever switch on the lights.. just get him to smile and switch off the lights.. cos u may get a shock if u see him having to stand far far away.. they will go 'happy deepavali' and grab the nene...

malay: cant remember what it was he said, except they are very clean..

angmoh: they just like to talk and talk during the whole course.. 'do you like this, do you like that?', 'how do u like me to do next?' and when they come is ' oh my god!'

chinese: by any means, do not ever laugh.. just cut the condom into half.. when they come, it's 'almost there, almost there, almost there...' like do they know the meaning of almost there?

then he went on on how dangerous london is... a lot of women got dragged into back alleys and got raped.. but when he went there, 3 days, nothing happened to him... he even got naked and laid on the floor.. the dog came, sniffed at him, and ran off...

about making love, he said the first step is the lick the gal's ear.. but dont lick until the ear full of saliva and the wax all come out.. when touch the nene, touch the centre touch the side, but dont go round and round, cos not newton circus...

indian gal: dont touch their nene, they will slap u..

malay gal: cant rem what he said lah..

chinese gal: very cold, dont know why, but no reaction..

angmoh gal: no need to slap them, they will slap themselves..

the committee had requested for him to tone down the humour.. but if this is toned down, my name is not meak...

all in the all, the turn out was good, the people were sporting.. it all made for good fun... but maybe not so clean lah...
