Once in A Lifetime

Hey, this time i'm gonna have a boy! Woahhh! Dun have much boys in my family... so this is gonna be an interesting experience. Let's hope i get to the 9th month marker this time! I wanna look pregnant, when I'm pregnant! & I promise meself I'll take one pic of me being pregnant. Sentimental maa.....

Now, I've always, always wanted to do a make over... but didn't have the courage. Deep inside I wanted to see meself looking picture perfect for just one day..... tapi... malu lah... insecurities made me decide against it. But i tell meself, waste of $$$ la, time la.... etc...etc...

So, one day.... while buying me fren a birthday gift, I was faced again wiv the offer of looking like a model for 300 bucks only. I pondered, i dilly dallied, and i agreed, after seeing an old chinese grandma (75 yrs old) walking out of the dressing room .... HEY! She has the guts, why not me? I'm not gonna tell you the story about the makeover procedure or what.... but it was the things I learnt while chatting with the ladies whilst waiting for our turn for the photoshoot. The 1st lady, was mid age... spoke excellent Brit english.... she just divorced. & said she wanted to " celebrate life"..... She was super positive about it. & I admired her strength. Gave me inspiration that life, no matter how bad it seems, you must always cherish & march forward... coz you still have life to go on. You didn't loose everything.....

Then, I observe few ladies who look kinda like they tried too hard for the role.... well, as long as your happy. And after I was done, looking at the A4 potrait of meself.... I couldn't recognize meself. & that was the problem.

I realised, what's the point of looking like sumone else? What's the point when they 'photoshop' away my significant mole & 'chinese' up my feature? Sure, I wanna look good.... but I had hope a makeover was to highlight the goodstuff about yourself... NOT, blanko everything & give me a new face. I was not impressed..... in fact I left the place feeling 'uglier'..... The only thing worth about the whole experience was talking to the ladies.

So, that was my experience of a makeover.
