あけましておめでとうございます!
Happy New Year!
新年快楽!
Selamat Tahun Baru!
Had a beautiful end to 2010 and hopefully a good year ahead.
I haven't done much in 2010 to accomplish any of my resolutions...
This year, I have to buck up.
They are
1) Lose 6kg to have that digit '4' in my weight again.
2) Have several travel plans realised.
3) Lose that lousy job and ditch those lousy colleagues for good.
4) Find a job that has nothing to do with logistics. The mere mention of this word sends my head spinning.
5) Make new friends and gather old ones.
6) Continue looking like I'm in my mid-twenties
For a start, today I took a day off to accompany my mom to the skin centre for her follow up appt. Then, I went for my eye check up at SNEC. The doctor told me I'm good, and I have no lazy eyes or mis-aligned eyes which everyone thinks I have.
She told me maybe, it's cos' of my skin near the front of my eyes that's giving people an impression that my eyes are mis-aligned. To fix that, I have to go for cosmetic surgery.
Sigh.
I didn't waste too much time today and went for my next appt at this place who advertised for "lose weight to win money" scheme.
Ya, it's a scheme after all.
I should have guessed as much, since it's located at a run down complex in Katong.
The moment I reached the place, I knew it. The sales lady (or to term nicely, consultant) poured me a cup of drink and proceeded to analyse my body fat, weight, BMI etc etc. Seems like all the gym workout I have been consistently doing is seeing results. My body fats dropped from 30% to 26.9% and that amounts to abt 1.65kg of fats!
Then she started selling products from the ever famous H brand.
I'm pretty open to such selling but the moment I saw milk powder and pills, I shut off.
I have tried those stuff and, trust me, they are DISGUSTING. I recall those times I had meal replacements of milk powder, wah lao, I felt so nauseous after a week.
Anyway, to be polite, I smiled and pretended to listen.
When she failed to convince me to buy, an uncle who claimed he is 63 yrs old and succeeded in losing much weight, stepped in and tried to look handsome. But I thought he looked like a ghost.
Again, I was polite and smiled but I was laughing inside.
Then, another girl who's my age joined in our conversation with her very broken english.
"You know, last time my tummy "blat" here and there and looked like 3 mths pregnant. Now you see!"
She stretched the clothing around her tummy to show me a not very firm stomach, and breathed in.
"See! Now it has no "blat" and is flat. Last time I got the fats around my waist at the sides..."
You mean, lovehandles?
"See! Now I don't have."
Still have leh.
"Look at this photo." She excitedly showed me a picture of her face in the past with very red sensitive skin and pimples.
"Look at me now. My skin improved!"
Huh? Is that improvement...? Or make up?
She blabbered on while I zoned off. My mind was bursting into laughter, but I giggled gently in front of them.
Then the first consultant who spoke to me started to chip in.
"Blah blah blah, blah blah blah...."
That's when I noticed her nostrils. They were turned outwards and I could see the insides pretty obvious.
Like this character from facebook's pet society.
Only the nose. The consultant did not have green eyes, blonde hair, pink skin and cute ribbons.
The final 20 mins, I was staring right into her nostrils.
Next, I'm going off to the gym for my final PT lesson. Bet I have to go thru' another sick session of "psycho-ing" by the sales peeps again. Argh... can't my life be ANY easier?
