Attractions and Messages

Was doing a project for work on the attractions in SG when I feel this sudden urge to go to Sentosa, the Zoo and Jurong Bird Park.

But I can't. Not for another 2 weeks or so... Because...


This is only the Forehead. After Religiously applying a very strong acne medication for 4 days, taking antibiotics (which I suspect are steriods) everyday (and 3 more weeks to go), IT AIN"T MUCH BETTER! but it is slightly better. I have to stay out of the sun....

Can you imagine what it looked like last week. And I have more on my nose and parts of my cheek.

F*** Bioskin.

BOYCOTT BLOODY BIOSKIN PEOPLE!

I'm really trying my best to deal with this. Never in my life have I had to deal with an acne problem like this. I fear meeting people I know. I walk briskly in public places hoping that nobody looks at me. I walk pass Topshop and La Senza as if they are Hardware Stores. I sit in front of the mirror and cry. I dread when people ask cos tears start welling up. Whenever I have to talk to people I wonder if they are thinking about my forehead. Everyday I think of not going to work.... And everyday I comtemplate till I'm late for work. But I've hung on... I've gone to work every single day this week looking like a mess.

I daren't wear anything that will draw attention to myself... I... Sigh.

Some people might say... Use Makeup la. But i have two problems. One is that makeup might aggravate the solution and I might have to live with it longer than I need to. Second is that The acne medication forms a thin film over the acne so concealers and foundations do nto get absorbed and thus does not bloody blend into the skin.

Love has been asking me to go back and give Bioskin a piece of my mind. So have my friends and colleagues.

Although I hate them for using whatever they used and then reassuring me that it is absolutely safe... It was still my own choice to walk in there. That would be their argument. And i have to agree with that. Reluctantly... but I'm not unreasonable.

But the bloody medication needs to be taken for the whole month! And it cost me $90 SHIT.

Now I know how my acne-prone friends feel.

I've never been mean to them. But usually indifferent to how they look. But I guess at some point or another they must have felt like this too. And if theirs is a permanent problem, I can understand their endless search for acne-free skin. The desperation of finding a cure... the hope you feel every morning when you get out of bed and the disappointment when you look into the mirror right after.
