All in a day's work

OK, time to move on and forget about the unhappy things in life. But only must keep tab to be alert and careful while out in the "wild".

When I was blog-hopping today, I only realized mine was really a small matter compared to bigger disasters in life, like this "near brush with death" accident of Pek Imm's husband. Poor man, poor wife, poor little daughter (girls are usually more sentimental)

Hope he gets a speedy recovery and they settle down back to their happy days again soon. I'm sure they will. Pek Imm, just hang on strong there, ok?
Basket for him (heck, me so very not sincere, huh?)

Anyway, back to today's work, I went for a "Face treatment", totally comes FOC, a compliment from my credit card bank. Of course, it was just a bait to lure me into signing and forking out more than the value of the said treatment in the voucher.


Fortunately, I had managed to verify the holder of the voucher was me and shown the credit card for this verification purpose before the robber took away my IC and the card. What I needed to do was to show up at the appointed time for a skin analysis consultation and followed by the said treatment.

Women's money, it's so easy to earn actually. Just criticize as much as you can on their facial skin and promise a miracle to turn the most ugly duckling to a beautiful looking swan and any woman would be so tempted to take their card out for them to swipe. Fortunately for me (and my hubby), this time, I didn't have any card to let them swipe. haha. (I was robbed, remember?)

The sales manager was getting very aggressive very soon, letting me a very "good deal" to "lock" the offer for a RM230 facial package which didn't come free with the Face treatment, obviously. The usual price for that facial is RM320. And I only needed to put in a RM50 as deposit, and it comes with no expiry date.

I told her, sorry la, I don't carry much cash with me as was phobia with the "wild" already. She played her last card then "RM20 as deposit". "Why waste such a good offer and go to hell when I can promise you the flight to heaven?" Not exactly the words she said la, but almost close to that, I think.

I was very pissed with that kind of bargaining method by now actually. Everywhere it is, the salesman would tell you, this offer is only valid for now, even tomorrow you come and ask, it's back to usual price for you. Damn! If you can offer a low price now, I don't see why you can't give me the low price tomorrow. And it's such a competitive market out there, you don't offer your low price to me, I turn to another supplier, fair?

So, I was adamant and said NO very firmly. Sorry, no luck with this "fish", this "fish" a very kiamsiap "fish", not a "waterfish".


OK, so we proceeded with the FREE Face Treatment, said to totally wipe off my dead cells clean from the surface of my face, and a new healthier and beautiful me would surface soon. The beautician did one side of my face, and let me compare with the other half when she was done. Heck! I don't see any difference leh, though she kept telling me how much fairer, balanced tone, cleaner that side of the face was.

Then, after she did the other half for me, I was given the "O2 treatment", a nice cooling breeze of air with water drops on my face.

And this conversation took place...

SHE: Why don't you sign up for the facial? Frankly speaking, you would have a total makeover after the facial and would look very pretty. Women must take care of how they look so the husbands will feel proud of you

ME: Nah.. after all these years of marriage, looks is not important anymore.

SHE: No la, that's why after these years of marriage, it's even more important to keep looking good, feeling good.

ME: You have no idea. What's important in a marriage is our mutual understanding and communication with each other. Honestly, if he doesn't like me anymore because of how I old I have become, then this husband also not worth to keep la..

SHE: *dumbfounded* *totally pissed with this tough kiamsiap customer*

ME: *oops* *better shut up*

And then, I went home, and did all that they told me NOT to do, exposing myself to sun, swimming, putting on my usual toner, moisturizer, essence on my beauty skin, had another round of my own recipe for better skin...yada yada..

So proud of myself! And that was also because I have no more credit card to utilize too. Hehe...
