Bye Bye! Bye Bye!

ATTENTION: Please note that Accountant Girl is now officially known as Banana Girl on Tinki Talks. And no, I'm not being mean. She actually REQUESTED to be called Banana Girl instead of Accountant Girl, can you believe that???

*rolls eyes*

I really don't know what goes on in that 123-add-subtract-multiply-divide brain of hers lor. Accountants are weird, I tell you. Anyhew, this new, revised nickname shall remain from this day onwards, till officially stated otherwise. Thank you for your kind attention.

Don't leave. Read my post.

Okay okay, hear me out before you
think me crazy for having that odd title.

Went for a walk-in facial at New York Skin Solutions, The Curve today with Accountant Girl. @_@ UH, I MEAN BANANA GIRL! (I'msorryplease
forgivemeathousandapologiesIhumblybegforyourforgivenessOHolyBanana.) The deal was that it cost only RM48 for the first trial. Not too bad lah, considering they've got some pretty good derma-tech backing and all that. (I know cos I've tried it before once when I was in Penang a couple of years back. So technically, this isn't really my first trial. But they've dumped my file so I just went under the pretense that it is. *grin*)

Too bad the facial sucked.
Like, big time. Sigh.

I ended up with the worst consultant ever. EVER! I've never felt anybody treat my face this way before. It was like she was sandpapering my epidermis away, at 100 miles an hour! So totally WTH, right??? ROAR! I was tensed throughout. And now I've got a backache and stiff shoulders. -_- After a SUPPOSEDLY pampering facial. My goodness. What nonsense, right???

Fortunately, the facial ended up being FREE.

Tee hee.
(I know you hate me now but
I don't care. I got a FREE facial.)

Kinda sorta, at least. Haha. Lemmie explain.

During my post-facial consultation (it was a 1-hour facial and I came out a full 15 minutes before Banana Girl, no thanks to the consultant who scrubbed my face at high speed -_-), they asked if I wanted to sign for their First Trial Package. Pfft. Berthousand-thousand Ringgit, okayyy. Siao. Hear also mouth dry, hand sweat, leg shake.

Forget it. No way I'm parting with that kind of money for a little bit of good better skin. So not worth it. I'll deal with a little bit of dehydration and congestion and live with it if I have to. (If you're judging me, this last bit's for you: "Eh! Money hard to come by, okayyy! You think what?! My father print money wan ah?? ROAR!")

I digress. My apologies.

So there I was sitting down, sipping boilling water – I think it was their not-so-subtle way of telling me, "HAH! Don't want sign issit?? Burn your tongue until you cannot talk. Hmmph!" – after successfully telling the lady that I wasn't interested in anything she had to offer me, when Banana Girl walks in with her consultant. The consultant goes through everything I heard before with her and as it was with me, it was "No Deal."

Defeated, the consultant left to bring us our FREE product packs.
(This was quite a nice surprise. We weren't expecting any freebies.)


Quite a nice size. Very travel pack-ish. =)


Cleanser. Toner. Moisturiser. And yes, I did
my nails again. Will blog that tomorrow.

After which, she opened the doors and said, "Bye bye! Bye bye! Thank yew for coming ah. Call me if you want sign the package just now I tell you wan. But we finish work 8pm so dun so late ah." (She's quite Cina wan.) Then, her colleagues – the other consultants – joined her, "Bye bye! Hope you enjoy! Come again. Bye bye!"(They're all quite Cina, actually.)


So, we walked out of the shop, FREE product pack in hand, after returning their bye-byes. Doing no more than walk while sharing horror facial stories and complaining about the during-facial service we just received. And then the impossible happened. Banana Girl turned to me and asked:


Banana Girl: Eh, wait! You pay them already ah?

Pam Song: *blink blink* *eyes wide open* *stutter* "NNN-NN-NO! I NEVER! DID YOU???"

Banana Girl: NO! I thought you pay for me already that's why they never ask me pay!!

Pam Song: Why would I pay for you first if you never come out to have your post-facial consultation yet???

*smacks forehead*

This seems to happen to us a lot in slightly varied ways.

-_-

Banana Girl: They never ask you pay meh?

Pam Song: No! Never! After my consultation you come out already ma. Then they talk to you, give us free products, open door for us and 'bye bye' us summore!

Banana Girl: Ya lah hor! How come they 'bye bye' and never take money wan?! So funny!

Pam Song: How I know how come they never take money?! They 'bye bye' me, I 'bye bye' back lah! The money bit never crossed my mind at all cos usually sales people will ask for it wan ma!

Banana Girl: So how now??? After 8PM already. They close shop di. Haha. See if they call or email us lor hor? *mischevious glint in eye*

So there you have it.

Our accidentally FREE hour-long facial
from New York Skin Solutions.

Tee hee hee.

(Maybe they'll panic and call us first thing tomorrow. Will update
if we're called to return to The Curve to make payment. =p)

Seriously speaking though, I wouldn't go back to this outlet for another facial. If you've been for a Dermalogical facial before, you'll see the vast difference and how terrible this one is. Phooi. So tak pass. The Gurney Plaza, Penang branch did it better the last time I tried it. Go there if you're dying to try your luck at getting yourself a free facial New York Skin Solutions' facial for yourself. =p
