Vanity Fair

While I'm accustomed to my ugly face as a result of my skin problem since 2000, my mom still won't give up!  U see, since 2000, my nose area has lost dunno how many layers of skin that's it's reddish (I say I'm angmoh..so naturally, my nose is a lil reddish!), the skin peels, the sides crack, the cheek area near the nose itches, slowly it spreads to the chin & between my brows...seems to me like the I-zone (T-zone is w/o chin ... so wif chin is I-zone lor!).  I cant use anything on my face.  The only thing I can use is my ORIGINS' "Make-A-Difference" cream which I use as my foundation.  Now..different doctors claim different things & the best was Dr Balkis who claimed it's early signs of photo-dermatitis - allergy to sun!


Mom has been bugging me to go to Wajah Beauty Centre but I refuse to waste my time & money on correcting my face problem anymore.  I'm quite used to living with it.  So yesterday, she tried her luck agn, even offered to sponsor me!  So what-da-heck, grab la! 


Went to Wajah Beauty Centre at Changi Rd (AIA, Guthrie Bldg!) yesterday after collecting my "baby" back from hospital to consult the beautician (Jaleha Jaafar...those who listens to malay radio wld know her I guess...I don't!). While she agrees with me that mine is not a serious case, she seems confident that she can cure it, Insyallah.  So she arranged for a package of 15 laser treatment + 10 facial + some medication/face products that costed $1,750!!!  Poor mom.  But I told her since she has faith in this, and so keen to cure my problem which I've given up home since last 2 yrs, and even willing to sponsor me (altho I'm sure she wasn't expecting this amt .. despite me telling her that such things will be costly & is not a 1 time trip!)...I'll do a 50-50 with her.  Mothers & their determination!!!


Of coz, I still feel lousy.  She has the cash right now, so she can pay for me la.. but I don't think I can live peacefully that she's spending on my face!!  She used her savings. :-(  So I'll do an instalment plan wif her...pay her bit by bit...maybe she can just sponsor $250 or something.  If I've the cash, I'll pay her back in full asap.  That's the thing abt me, when I'm utterly pissed or depressed, I tend to splurge $$$ like nobody's business.  Yeah, it's nobody's business..it's entirely MINE!!!


My 1st laser treatment is @ 5pm today ... I'll be leaving arnd 4pm, which is in 1hr's time!  Feeling quite nervous - can u imagine?  LASER!!??  She said she can even clear my dark circles.  OooKkk...so by my nxt b'day, I expect to "really" look like Madhuri Dixit...no longer "a bit a bit"!
