Purchases from Juz Today

Warning: This is not a very objective post as I'm really negative about my experience.

I was really happy when I saw this Juz Today email that came in which had a "Tweezer (epilator) @ $9.90 only!" promotion in it.

So just one click and I was brought to the page. Everything seemed good, and I thought $9.90?! Good deal there! I might just be able to snob my sister who bought an epilator for more than SGD100. So, I bought it. Delivery time was good! Everything seemed good! Product was from Princess Gems & Crystals. The package came in the usual envelop, and there were brochures included inside, with my purchased product. I opened the package and everything seemed fine, so I just kept it aside.

So just the day before yesterday, I took it out to use it. IT WAS BAD!
Initially I thought it was fine, BUT, I barely used it for a min and it gave off a plastic burning smell. The smell really made me feel uncomfortable. Obviously, I stopped using it.

I wanted to keep everything back and thus took out the 2 AAA batteries. The batteries were new, they couldn't have been the problem! So I took a closer look and I saw a black plastic strip that was hanging out of the machine.

If you take a look at their product description, it says suitable for all areas. So why the fault in the product?

Batteries are not included, you got to buy your own.

Another instance was my experience with Bottom Slim.

I have never, NEVER, had the thought of stepping into a slimming centre because I felt that they were fake and all. One could never depend on them to slim down the healthy way. And, I was proven right.

I came across a voucher on Juz Today and thought "wow, really?" when I saw the offer of $10 for 8 treatments at Bottom Slim. On top of that, there was a $300 package voucher! I bought the voucher since it was rather cheap. I mean, where can you find an offer like that?? Right?? The minute I bought the voucher, I called up Bottom Slim and made an appointment for the next day. I visited the Novena Square 2 outlet.

Over the phone, I was told that the treatment would last for 2 hours and so I held that kind of expectation when I entered the centre. However, I was ushered to a consultation room and received many explanation about the various problems people usually face and received consultation from the consultant who has been explaining a whole lot of stuff to me before that. So the minute I removed my clothes [I was wearing my undergarments], the consultant started rambling on how serious my problem is for the bottom part of my body and so on.

Immediately after, she introduced a package that I should take up. And there started the hard selling process. The whole package she introduced me cost up to $1000++ and she finally reduced it to $400 after I rejected again and again. So if you come to think of it, these slimming centres are earning a lot aren't they? For one thing, I haven't been really keen on slimming centres in the first place. I thought I'd just try it out for that 8 treatments.

So I told my consultant "it's my first time at a slimming centre and I never ever thought of wanting to slim down through going to slimming centres, I only thought of slimming down the natural way. And, I just wanted to try to see how is the feel like of the treatment as I came across what I thought was a good offer online". My consultant kept telling me "if you would think of buying the voucher, means you want to lose weight one mah. Where got girls don't like good figure and be pretty one". The hard selling lasted for almost 1.5 hours. I insisted I don't want to buy a package and I got a reply like "if you want to try the feel, you can upgrade and pay a little more to try one session first then see if you want to continue".

But no, I just want to try whatever is offered in the voucher don't they understand? After much explanation about the voucher that I bought from Juz Today, the 8 treatments that was mentioned is actually going by body parts! So.... instead of 8 treatments, it's treatment for 8 body parts. For the treatment I did [buy already why don't do right], it was my tummy, inner thigh, outer thigh [yes, inner thigh and outer thigh are considered two different parts -.-] and hips. 1 treatment lasts for 10 minutes [remember I was told I needed to spare 2 hours?] and my consultant combined 2 treatments together so I finished my "8 treatments" in one session, which lasted 20 minutes.

I WILL NEVER STEP INTO A SLIMMING CENTRE AGAIN. IT'S SO USELESS AND THEY JUST DO PURE HARD SELLING. Waste my time.

The receipt I was given after treatment.

Anyway, I just wanna say, have bought a few vouchers from Juz Today before and I haven't had a good experience with any. Maybe it really depends on your luck to get a good deal online! But... then again, Groupon has been fine.

Went to the beach!

A little update about my beach trip before I do up a post regarding a product I bought from Juz Today.

So... instead of doing my tutorials at the beach, I tried to study for one of my modules at Starbucks located at parkway parade. I bought a drink and sat there to study, I myself don't know how long I sat there for :/ But there weren't anyone waiting for seats then *phew* but I was waiting for this couple to finish their show when I first got to Starbucks! Haha. Oops!

Anyway, after sitting there with just ONE drink throughout, it would be bad of me to just leave for the beach eh? + I was a bit hungry, so I bought a banana cupcake! It was good *yummmm*

After which I headed to the beach -yes I walked from parkway parade- it isn't that far actually! Just that the part of East Coast I went to wasn't near any restaurant or eatery. It was nice being at the beach! It was something I have been looking forward to since few months back. So... even going there alone was great (:

I was lying on my back (yes on the sand, but my head was on my laptop) and I almost fell asleep. Just shows how comfortable it was (:

Some pictures taken at the beach: 

大自然 （：

I'm so glad I'm heading to the beach tomorrow. Shall complete my tutorials in a relaxed environment around nature (:

I love the beach!

Pilgrimage to China

Finally settling down on a proper blog post. Expect pictures (:

Traveled to China from 23rd Aug to 30th Aug on a pilgrimage trip. Learned some stuff through observation and such. Anyway, I can't really remember clearly now because this trip was in August :/ oops! When there's fun, you always forget the educational stuff. Hehe :P

So, Pictures shall entertain you now (:
Of course,  descriptions will be provided!

 Above 2 taken on the plane during sunrise. Wasn't at a good enough seat to be able to capture the sun! I was trying my best.... ):

This is along the longest highway in the world (can't remember the name). Notice the coloured barrier? The colour changes after a certain distance, and there are many different colours throughout the whole highway! According to tour guide, research shows that changing the colours will make the drivers have better mood while driving! So... that's what they did.

I think this picture was taken at the boat station! We were traveling on boat to 普陀山 if my memory didn't fail me.

Nice eh?! Can't remember where I took this, but makes me feel like such a professional (;

Need not say more, at the temples (:

 Food -> breed? :P

So when you flush after use, you must flush angrily! and call for the empress!

Hello, serious matter... these are not reminders for you to flush, they are HINTS! Maybe they'll come out in exams!

When you leave the place, you are being EXPORTED!

Okay this isn't as funny, but still...

 Hey you, only silver is accepted... anything else, we may charge at a higher rate. HAHA! Okay I'm typing nonsense already :P

There are so many of such funny things you can find in China! These are all I found on this trip!

Group shot!

Can't remember where I captured this. Nice scenery right! ^.^

I have no idea why people throw money into the bucket, really :/

Cable car ride up the mountain to visit temple!

Taken at the top of the mountain (:

 Entering a cave, it was really dark inside

 One of the hotel rooms, we switched a few different hotels as we traveled to different places. Can't remember which was this though!

 Released this turtle into the 放生池!

 Another nice view! China does have abundant nice nature around, unlike Singapore :/

 Do you see a face? It is all natural, no man-made effort!

China was kinda fun? Visited quite a number of places and I can't remember them all with my brain half-working at this hour but I thought I'd just do up a post!

For more photos, you can visit my Facebook page if you have access to it (;

Year 2 Sem 2

Ended lesson early and I thought I still have time before the next lesson starts to do up a post but I guess not. I still have about 3-4 posts in mind? But I haven't gotten the time to write them.

School has been okay so far. Feeling more motivated to do well this semester, somehow. Which is something good (:

So... yesterday I heard a whole lot of crap that made me feel: so ridiculous. I can't be bothered to say more cos that will just make things worse perhaps. Things just go back to square one: I should not believe people so easily... 要相信人，很难。

Blog Revamp (:

So... I just decided to make some changes to my blog before I continue my blogging spree once again.

Everything's brighter now! In hopes for a brighter tomorrow (:

Holiday!

I realise every time I return to this site, it's been a while since I last wrote something down.

This holiday has been rather fruitful. Traveled to China & India for pilgrimage. Learned quite a fair bit from both trips. People can be so fake at times you really feel like closing the doors in front of them. Eww.

Things have been on and off I feel so lost. Wish things can be solved forever. May that time come soon please. Need the inner peace. Even if I get to go to the beach now it's also gonna be like running away for a short while. That really short period of time.

Shall update on China & India soon!
