feed the fishes day.

WARNING: VERY VERY VERY LONG ENTRY AHEAD. TEXT HEAVY. CONTAINS RANTS AND COMPLAINS AND SLIGHT VULGAIRTIES. PICTURES PRESENT.

before i start, i must COMPLAIN!!!! i'm so upset now because the Olympics snatched the timeslot for my yulebaifeibai replay telecast and i cannot see xiao gui now. HAIZ.

ok. back to serious stuff. HAHA.


so......what appointment did i make on saturday?

-drum roll and cymbals clash!-


nehneh and i met at novena for simple lunch at burger king before heading down to novena ville for our.....FISH THERAPY!!!! it was a free trial! FOC! wheee. i love!!! for the cheapo me!


ok, but before i talk about what the entire procedure was about, i have a confession to make.

apparently, the girl who took down my appointment details thought that my "next monday" (since i called on saturday) was NEXT NEXT monday. NOT today!!!! WTFWTFWTF???

so, when we arrived there, the skinny girl on duty told us, after flipping to today's list of appointments, that we were not scheduled for today. MY NAME WAS NO WHERE IN SIGHT.



what can my natural reaction be? PISSED OFF AND KAN CHIONG LAH. wtf. i am very good-tempered one ok! but this misunderstanding was a bit overboard.


then the skinny girl asked me questions like "what's your contact number? what's your name? who was the girl who took your call??"
HER ATTITUDE WAS FUCKING BAD OK. like sibei BUEY SONG LIKE THAT.


HELLO I AM A CUSTOMER AND I WAS VERY NICE TO YOU UNTIL YOU TOLD ME THAT MY APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED ON THE WRONG DAY AND I TRAVELLED ALL THE WAY FROM CLEMENTI TO NOVENA. YOU CANNOT ASK ME TO GO BACK WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING RIGHT!!! roarrrrr.



so i tried to calm down and answered pleasantly until she asked me "who was the girl..." and i exploded and went HOW THE FUCK I KNOW WHO IS THAT BITCH. (the girl who answered my call did not tell me her name at all!!! and i definitely did not foresee all these problems beforehand!!!)

ayeee. see, once i flare up don't playplay with me alright. i can be a fierce, unreasonably angry bitch.




that skinny girl turned to look at me in the eye and said "please mind your language. that girl is my colleague."

so i looked back into her eye and said "ok."



no apologies at all. because i don't think i am at fault. IF THAT GIRL WHO TOOK MY CALL DID NOT LISTEN TO MY APPOINTMENT DETAILS CORRECTLY, THEN IT IS NOT MY FAULT RIGHT???
i understand that IF i had called on a sunday, then IF i had said "NEXT MONDAY", it would DEFINITELY be my fault.

but saturdays are given such that when i say NEXT monday, it's understandable that it's the COMING monday right. i even clearly remember myself repeating, "yes, the COMING monday" into the phone.


nehneh patted me on my back and told me to calm down. SO I DID. and since we realized where the mistake had occurred, i flipped back to TODAY's appointment and looked at the time slot. THE 2PM SLOT WAS UNFILLED AND FREE FOR SLOTTING IN APPOINTMENTS.




so i smiled and asked nicely (a terse smile, though) "is it possible to shift our appointment forward to today since the slot is empty?"

"NO."


WTFWTFWTF IS THIS ATTITUDE OF YOURS??!?!?!?!


just then, this other girl who was talking to another client at a table came over to settle the ENTIRE issue for us. she ALLOWED the appointment to be brought forward immediately without any qualms. HELLO SKINNY GIRL! THIS IS CALLED FLEXIBILITY OK!!!! fucked up customer service skills.


so there i was, feeling peeved and steaming through my ears. i was handed a form to fill up regarding existing skin conditions and personal particulars. WHY DON'T HAVE FEEDBACK SECTION!!! dulan.


really sorry for a ranting, but i was extremely furious at the standard of customer service provided by that skinny girl. give black face i can tolerate, but unwilling to help out, compromise and contribute to pleasant customer's stay is JUST TOO MUCH. ok, continue.



this nice gentle malay girl checked our feet (i think for skin condition or broken skin) and led us to a wash up area to rinse our feet and soaped us too.

then, we were led to this pool with MEDIUM TO CONSIDERABLY LARGE SIZED SKIN-FEEDING FISHES to feed them. HAHAHAHA.

feed with what? OUR DEAD SKIN LAH!

when we arrived, there were these two pretty girls at the pool already. one of them sitting on the left was too terrified to place her feet in. the one on the right had her HEEL in only. and they were shrieking loudly while the fishes nibbled at girl no.2's heel WTF HAHAHAHA.


"you guys are sharing the pool with us right?"
"yeaaa.."



-malay girl turns to me-

"ok, miss, don't be scared. it doesn't hurt. come. stick your leg straight out. don't be scared!!!"

"erm...why me huh? others cannot go first meh...." -sticks right leg out hesitantly-

"don't worrrryyy. nothing one. just ticklish and abit of suction feeling..."

"omg wtf. HOW COME ALL THEIR LEGS OUTSIDE THE POOL??!! HOW COME THE FISHES ARE SWARMING BELOW MY LEG OMFG!!!" -suffer mini panic attack-

(i swear, at this point, i was rather terrified. the swarm of fishes darting around, following your leg movement ABOVE the water surface. it reminded me of feeding. and i was about to feed them. with my leg. wtf)

-slowly pushed my heel into the water, then more till my shin is immersed-

the pictures taken and seen in my blog are all AFTER the intial stages of slowly submerging my leg. the scary process was not photographed because...sigh...i am the only trigger-happy person. HAHAHAH.

as i had mentioned, the others (including stupid nehneh) refused to put their legs in while the nice girl staff was pushing my leg in. as a result, ALL OF THE FISHES FED ON MY LEG FOR A GOOD 2 MINUTES BEFORE NEHNEH PLACED HER TWO FEET IN. ARGHHHHH.

i couldn't see my feet or shin AT ALL. and the girls were shrieking and screaming "OMFG OMG!!! SHE IS DAMN BRAVE!! HOW DOES IT FEEL??? HOW HOW HOW????"


zzzzzz. -_-'''''''''

then a group of aunties who heard the commotion came over and peered into the pool with my lonely feet.

"WAH!!! I CANNOT SEE HER LEG AT ALL!!!"

"YA LOR YA LOR!! HOW COME SO MANY HUH!!! HOW DOES IT FEEL?? ITCHY NOT???"

wtf. i became an exhibit celebrity for 2 minutes lor. HAHAHAH. thank you to my guts for not screaming out at all. i'm so brave. (: -beams- HAHAHAHAHAHA.

i don't have much dead skin as you can see. because the fishes flocked to the girl on the left when she FINALLY dared to place her leg in. i figured she has much much more dead skin HAHAHA the fishes were buffet-ing on her lor. HAHAHAHA.

darting fishes cannot be captured sorry.

our very GENG faces because it was terribly itchy and momentarily painful when some of those rascals bit harder than usual. but it was a really cool experience.

overall, i would rate it as a must-try experience (minus the customer relations part ROARRR) because it definitely helps to rid our nice nice feet of dead skin, leaving it much smoother too!

and the 2 girls opposite us were very pretty, to boost. HAHAHA no i'm not lesbian. we made small chat. hahaha i had to refrain from staring at them. 0.0 pretty girls are nice to look at! (((:

our feeding.



the pool in the picture is the "baby pool" with all the baby skin-feeding fishes. LOL. we didn't try that. we went straight for the pro-fishes sehhh HAHAHHA.

look! LOL.

most of them were full already after about 15minutes. the session lasted 30 minutes. more than enough i say. the tickling between the toes and under the soles can be too much to bare after some time. LOL.

nice smooth feet. abeit slightly puffy-from-water-retention-limbs.

these tanks are for hands!!! apparently, there is special service for entire body too! zzzz. i cannot IMAGINE how it would be like. zzzzz.

so the session ends and the nice malay girl who led us through the entire thing made us wash our feet again and put moisturizer for us! whooo. nice! (: said thank-yous and sorts. but i ignored that rude skinny one.

the 2 pretty girls left before us!

i was randomly asking nehneh how it'll be like for the fishes to feed on males. i mean, would the fishes get caught up in leg hair and cannot free themselves?

so they feed on the leg hair too? or will all the leg hair be chewed off and fall into the pool? will the fishes strangle themselves and die on the leg hair?

i came to a conclusion: lim zihao, you CANNOT try this lah. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.

headed back to novena to take train to bugis for walk walk. see. GOT WIND. compare how MY fringe and NEHNEH's fly. zzzz. kaoz.

i'm amazed everytime how her hair moves minimally WTF. unfair.









auto focus is really screwing up. =(((





this sign doesn't work for most singaporeans. unless they prefer discourse and view this as arrowing pointing THE OTHER WAY. kns CAN LET PEOPLE ALIGHT FIRST BEFORE YOU CHIONG UP NOT! social manners!!!

shopped. bought my miracle water aka beauty mask at SASA and shopped at bugis street. got a white top i wanted for damn long but couldn't find the design for some time. (: broke. the mask robbed me in broad daylight.

you will see why later. zzz.

AND GUESS WHAT? WE SAW THE TWO GIRLS IN BUGIS STREET HAHAHHA WTF???!?!

all the way from novena to bugis?? what are the odds indeed HAHAHA.

early dinner at Soup Spoon. because nehneh has never eaten there before and because no one wanted to eat there with her. so being the kind soul me, i accompanied her. AYEEE.

was very tired by then. nua-ed.

she got her meal. i wasn't feeling hungry but she forced me to get something too. SIGH.

she is happy.

idon'twannaeatcos'i'mnothungrybutyouforcedme-look.

THIS is the mask i'm talking about. promoted on nu ren wo zui da. a beauty show in tw. it was so amazing on tv i JUST had to get it. nehneh tried it already and said it's really good. so it's a MUST try!

and this is the freaking price you pay for beauty. zzz.

i tried it just now. and i freaked out equally when i started bubbling at the face. wtf. HAHAHAHAHA. it's really scary ok! but...i can feel my skin become tigher and smoother! (:

my mushroom stranganoff soup. (:

feeling full. and it was still early. i suggested we walk to cityhall from bugis.

and mid-way i saw a large durian.

it attempts to clam me. -gasp-

walked around at marina square. chatting randomly. it's good just to hang out. but, i think we must organize hang-outs that don't require spending a lot money but enjoyable for both of us! like today's fish therapy!!! must try NEW stuff everytime! that's the essence of life! (:

was a little hungry. wanted to eat ice-cream. went into Azabu Sabo. BUT in the end i did not order icecream wtf. zzz.

aye another blur shot. =((( but look thin lor. HAI i'm so good to you nehneh.HAHAHA.

please hor, must credit to me har!!!



mine! fruits with dumplings and kelatan-jelly!

i LOVED the dumplings. wheee. (((:

the brown sugar made the entire thing taste tons better.



nehneh's korean riceball with red bean paste soup thingy. she said it's damn nice. it's a hot dish, by the way!

but the soup was a tad bit too sweet for her. but she says the rice ball is very springy and has "bounce" HAHAH.

i have no idea what this side dish was. HAHAHA.

she said i was trying to take her cleavage wtf. I AM NOT OK. i just merely fitted your entire frame with food into the picture. hmpfff. make you look skinny you still like that!!! =(





getting sleepy. =(

finished our desserts so....camwhored!!!





piggish. i got black nostrils with pi sai. HAHAHAH.

i like this! (:

we were actually sitting opposite each other. but i shifted to take pictures together. and we started talking about short holiday plans!!! HAHAHA. so excited. (((: yet to be confirmed!

and i realized nehneh is the FIRST and ONLY person whom i actually sit NEXT to, instead of OPPOSITE to in restaurants which offer comfy seats on ONE side of the table and less-comfy seats on the OTHER side of the table.

both of us die die also must sit on comfy seats. so we always end up side by side HAHAHAHA wtf.
nehneh calls chris (the one whom brains i hate) to ask about some stuff for holidays!!!! (((: and i realized she likes to make eyes big and act cute/demure in her pics.

NOT TO BE DEFEATED, i tried this. HAHAHAHAHHA WTF. i geng until my eyes were cramping up right before my camera took this picture. aye, i've failed as a double-eye-lidder. sad.

took 106 home from esplanade at 9:30pm. arrived at clementi at only 10:20pm. WTFFFF. i hate bus rides that take so long!!! ermmm, but i fell asleep on the bus HAHAHAH. oops, got a good seat what! =D

i still want my DSLITE. who will get for meeee. =((((

ok i took ONEHOUR to upload the pictures and blog through this. very sleepy now. to all who managed to read ALL word for word--> you guys really zai.

many things happened today and i HAD to note all down. this is like my virtual diary already. wheee. i am in particularly EXCELLENT mood everytime i try something new! (((:

ps: i know some of you may think i'm ill-mannered and ill-bred or rude and unreasonable and stupid and bad-tempered, vulgarity-spouting bitch. but really, if that is your opinion of me, then so be it.

i am actually happier this way. because, it just proves that i'm not someone you can understand at one-shot. what i am superficially is not who i am beneath. batmanbegins indeed. that phrase has sunk in.

it never pays to judge upon first impression. i've surprised many. and i'm sure i'll continue to prove many others wrong. (:
