Have not been posting for so long. Nothing interesting in my life la. Back in Singapore to escape the bitter winter coldness of Beijing...should be going back again in May....Apart from hollering after Isaac at home, I have been like visiting almost all the shopping centres in Singapore (okok, i am exaggerating, maybe whole of Orchard and Vivo), window shopping la, never buy anything...not working so very very poor....
After many weeks of merry making and feasting, the needle on my bathroom scale seemed to be forever pointing to the ascending number...so i decided to SERIOUSLY...ok ok, i have been saying this for tons of years....LOSE WEIGHT! So I did some web surfing and decided to go and enquire at AiXXX Slimming Centre - Acupuncture type.
Having just overcome my fear for needles only 2 plus years back, i decide to put myself to the test. The visit to Aimin started with a consultation about their package. At the end of it, she asked if I would like a trial. I was like OMG!!! No No..i am not ready, i came just to enquire ...can i give it a try again day? Maybe tmr? She persuaded me and said that it was a painless process....I finally gave in....
Nervously, I went into the room and lie on the bed waiting for the acupuncturist. My heart was booming like the old grandfather clock....Few minutes later, she came in and drew out the needles. I freaked out the moment i see those needles. Although the needles were very very fine...as fine as our hair, i was still very very frightened...she told me to relax and i asked for another pillow to cover my face and the consultant also came in to hold my hand...finally all the needles were in. There were 18 needles in total - 10 on my tummy, 4 on each side of my legs....it was painless around the tummy area...maybe i have too much fats over there to feel anything.... I could feel the pain when she inserted the needles into my left leg. However, it was bearable.
I lied on the bed for half an hour and finally time to remove all the needles....I finally heave a sigh of relief! Went back to the room and the consultant answered my questions and off I go...No hard selling at all...That was what impressed me....
As to whether i will sign up the package...welll...i need to overcome my fear for needles first...I cant be holding her hand throughout the whole 30 sessions??!!! Hahah
