I’m not sure if it’s a taboo for a blogger to be blogging about this topic.. But I guess if more people are aware and understand what’s the deal with bloggers getting free stuff, then less people would be pointing fingers that we are beggars. Bloggers are NOT beggars. If you take a look at [...]

I can’t remember when was the last time I was excluded from a “guy’s night out” umm…. hmm… I think I’ve never been excluded from one before, or at least been told directly that I’m going to be excluded from one. It’s scary that this is my first time experiencing a “guy’s night out” thing [...]

I was made known of the human papillomavirus (HPV) a few years ago, when I went for my regular PAP smear test with my gynecologist. That PAP smear came out to be inconclusive and I had to do another PAP smear three months later. During the three months, I was really scared that I might [...]

Priss on May 26th, 2010Last Day at My Attachment – after thoughts

I have been doing my attachment at a hospital in Singapore where I was doing counselling work with patients with emotional and behavioral problem.

Priss on May 8th, 2010Mother’s Day and Baby Bonus

It’s Mother’s Day tomorrow! I’ve got a gift ready for my mother and my grandma. It’s funny how the presents gets smaller and more expensive every year.

Me: If an Indian and a Malay man drops into the sea and you can only save 1, who would you save? Him: Neither, I’ll drown myself. (thinking it’s politically correct not to pick a side) Me: *bursts out in laughter* You’re so bloody racist that you rather kill yourself than to save them!!!

Priss on Apr 13th, 2010Compilation of SBWA Beauty Spas bailing out Wax In The City customers

I realised the list posted up on the SBWA website is quite long, and it’s quite troublesome for Wax In The City “stranded” customers to go through each and every spa one by one, and randomly picking a spa to continue your package is definitely the worst possible option.
