*sighs* i'm supposed to be in bed but i can't get to sleep. why always like that?

when its time for bed, i can never seem to get my body to rest because my mind is in a mess. and then when its time to wake up, i simply snooze in bed until my hp alarm has rang dozens of time before i will jump out for bed and then begin my day with a mad rush of getting to office on time. and of course, i never get there in time.

my face is under the attack of a million zits. *wails* it must be the bad air in office (i was glue-sniffing the whole day today, if you see me next time with a runny nose + yawning nonstop + looking listless, please buy me a bag, i must be addicted, the rest of the days where i'm not glue-sniffing, i'm being a vacuum cleaner, breathing in all the dust particles! imagine the place looking like genting in the morning when we stepped in lor, its that serious.), thinking of tens of ways to come up with counter strategies against my political office colleagues, stressing over other business ideas, worrying about the high rate of transmission for hand-mouth-foot disease...

well, the paragraph above looks intimidating but trust me, those are only some of the problems my brain is going through at any point in time.

received a call from regan's school that scared me for a minute yesterday afternoon.

*music - my way by zhang jing xuan*
me : hello
teacher : hi, this is teacher meng choo, can i speak with mr or mrs chan please?
me : this is she. yes?
teacher : hi mrs chan, miranda has more uclers after doing our routine afternoon check for all the children.
me : *confused, thinking what has this got to do with regan* huh?
teacher : you asked me to call you if miranda has more ulcers in her mouth in the morning right?
me : *urhhhhhhh* er, this is regan's mom, not miranda's mom. you've got the wrong mrs chan.
teacher : AHHHHHH, sorry sorry...
me : its ok. by the way, please keep regan far away from miranda hor. thank you ar!

it really freaked me because regan was suspected of hmfd 2 weeks back. but after monitoring for 2 days, the doctor said it wasn't. its not a illness to joke about as it can be fatal for children.

everyone i meet whom are rude enough is really shock at my face condition and have no qualms about asking me openly and loudly "what happen!?!?". yes, my face is that bad... went for a facial on monday evening to clear them out. so hopefully they recover quickly.

talking about that, the only place i go for my facial is at faber house. its really great. i hate pushy service staffs and they don't at this place. i mean how can you relax when someone is talking their about the wonderous ways of their products or harping on how much you can save by signing up for their package? then my brain needs to do mental sums on how much i can save, how much is the package, if i've enough to pay, after i sign how long i must lunch on cup noodles etc etc...

BUT since they have been so nice so nice for the last couple of years, i've took up their package there. haha... its a big step for me as i do not believe in taking packages. couple of reasons why.

first, i have to come up with a lump sum upfront. just like insurance, i pay mine monthly and not yearly. hurts less on your pockets though if you pay yearly, you do get a small discount.

second, what if the shop close down?

third, i don't normally frequent just one. i go to wherever is convenient. sometimes, during the last minute (sounds very like me), i suddenly want to do a facial (or pedi or mani) and cannot wait till next day, i will call until i find one has available slots.

fourth, what if my favourite service staff that do for me is not there, i don't like to be 'handled by strangers' after i get a package since its mainly because that favourite service staff is there to 'do' me. don't need to build a relationship all over. very tiring one you know.

fifth, its really my favourite facial house. i'm been going to them for the last couple of years. not that i every visit others but i've heard lots of horror stories about others - face gone wrong, made to sign a $20,000 package, bought thousands of useless products and so on which is enough to make me appreciative of my current anesthetist.

i think 5 good reasons are really enough reasons to qualify my signup.

haven't tell dar how much yet. in fact, i don't every tell him how much each session cost. his heart stops easily over money matters ma. hee...

the system is pretty an ingenious one so they don't really call it a package. they coined it as credits. so you get a certain amount of free credits for the applicable tier of credits you purchase. more credits you purchase at one go gives you more free credits of course.

and there's no expiry date plus its not restricted to just yourself using the credits. the calculations comes up to about a 10% after adding in the free credits for mine. so if you got money can buy more, this 'discount' will be more lor.

ok la, i'm getting like so boring over this. hee...

anyways, a big happy belated birthday to CALYN LEE and DAPHNE LOO! i'm sorry i missed both your birthdays. you know i'm never good with dates. very bad in fact, so please forgive me. only realise it after i read both your blogs just. hope both of you enjoy your very day. and remember to say thank you to your moms for bringing both of you to this world ya! =) *muakz + hugs*
