Dr Loke & e KiNiS & Valencia's 1st mth

after few days of researching on the skincare clinic
i finally shortlisted two: Dr Loke at Novena Medical Centre and Maple Clinic
Due to the long waiting hour at Maple Clinic and purging process, i decided on trying out Dr Loke
Suppose to meet sootng and go together but she was still sound asleep
thought that i might not be able to go today cos i was at dear's house and there's no keys
in the end, dear said his is in his pocket and ask me to search it and TaDaa~

When i reached there, there are alot of people.
The queueing system there is a bit weird
as they have a long reception counter, there are few people standing around it and i not sure whether these people at the counter are queueing also or what... so i just ask the receptionist/nurse. she registered for me and said that i have to wait an hour.

so i shopped around and found this beachwear shop called bella kini. theres a friendly staff called iris. shes really very approachable and you can just keep chatting with her about anything... she has great taste and gives honest opinion too. finally found the right bikini for me ! really like it. she intro me tankini too. i love it too. she showed me some other designs but i need to rush back for appointment. she was so nice to keep this for me (as there are alot of customers there as well).

was feeling nervous even to see dr loke. afraid that i miss out something or it cant help. so i actually wrote a list of ingredients of products i am currently using and the doctors i have seen before and the things they prescribed to me. but in the end, i didnt really use it. i started off with telling dr loke about the 'allergic reaction'. he asked if i am having the rxn right now. i said yday a bit itchy but i applied the hydrocortisone (steroid) and it is not itchy now. cos i read from the web that most doctors will prescribe oral medications for acne problem. i told him tt i am married and intend to conceive. ask if i can just have medications to apply. he prescribed me cream for day and another for night, and one for rxn (non-steroid) and a avene facial wash. dr loke way of treating seems only to be oral medications. and i guess its also closing time soon so he a bit rush. den i keep asking. i felt i am irritatin him. keke! some of the products is actually i keep asking den he gives me de.. i duno whether he really understd my skin problem not. anyway, going back for review 1 month later. total damage $151.

den i went back to bella kini to try the rest of the tankinis and decided to buy one bikini and one tankini. actually they have a promo, which is 'buy 3 and get 1 free' but i tight and also dear n sootng waiting for me at velocity taxi stand le. so i just bought that. total damage less than $70.

hehe! den we went to amk to eat sushi. yea! my fav fried vege and fried tofu. we also had fried salmon skin. so nice the food. haha! in the end we got 15% cos we spotted 'something' there but that is after our lunch la. but i got a cut cos of the design of the bottom of the table. one of the supervisors gave me a plaster.

den night time, dear fetch me to cousin xuan's baby (valencia)'s 1st mth. met up with all my cousins and we had a great chat. we made plans for new year.. movie and mahjong. and maybe a malaysia trip somewhere in may-august. hopefully all will go as planned..
