Because i only include pretty pictures on this space, i decided not to post pictures of my steroid induced rosacea face here. It is not suitable for the faint heart. Trust me.

1) No more topical steroid cream = Full blown skin inflammation flare.

2) Imagine a burnt victim, thats how i look like now.

3) The itch is similar to many ants crawling beneath the face, but hell no scratching.

4) It strips off my self esteem, though i have too plenty to begin with.

5) Due to the insane itch, it makes me completely restless at night.

6) I avoid looking into the mirror, because it gives me quite a scare.
7) I still have to go to work = I will get weird stares.

I see friends on facebook complaining about missing their buses, eating too much chocolates, feeling tired, hating long club queues, no more cigarettes, hating their jobs, feeling fat.

Fuck you, have something reasonable to complain about please.

After battling ringworms on my face for more than 7 months, i finally decided to seek a second opinion as a form of self-assurance that i am indeed on the road to complete recovery. Also, to be crowned the ringworm warrior. However, happy endings don't come easy as candyfloss. The skin doctor informed that my excessive fungal steroid application has caused my face to bloom into a bed of thorny roses. It is almost like opium addiction, to quote her exact words. The cream steroid that i have been using (Elomet) is akin to opium. They are the drugs. The desire to heal my ringworm scars is akin to annihilating addiction to opium. They are the hidden agendas. The red, itchy, possibly patchy face if elomet treatment is terminated is akin to the nausea, sweating and cramps of an addict who is trying to quit opium. They are the withdrawal symptoms. In order to reverse my face condition to how it was like 7 months ago, i have to stop elomet and give my skin time to heal.

Bad news: It will not be easy because i will have to deal with very red, itchy, peeling skin for 2-3 months.

.

Good news: It is reversible. After 2-3 mths of Rosacea war, my face will look like how she was 7 months ago.

.

WTF, LET'S DO THIS! :)

He is crowned the best little thing in the whole funny world :)

This is an unexpected response which left me still very confused about my identity.

(Over a phone call to a random friend)

Hel: Hello, Cheryl!

Cheryl: Hey, who is this?

Hel: Huh! how can you forget about my existence!?

Cheryl: Oh so sorry! I lost my phone and my numbers not long ago!

Hel: Ohhhh, when are you free? Let's go out!

Cheryl: Huh? Are you Melvin?

Sorry.

I am Helen.

I am not Melvin.

When i was watching Ballet Under The Stars.

Instead of thinking 'I wish i were one of them, spinning gracefully on stage'.

I thought 'My daughter will be on that stage, twirling like a sweet butterfly'.

Yes, age is catching up indeed :)

If you are gone, who will be putting the flowers into my hands.

If you are gone, who will be painting the cherries and strawberries on my wall.

If you are gone, who will be singing sweet lullabies in my ears.

If you are gone, who will be sprinkling honey stars above my head.

If you are gone, who will be whispering i love you before i sleep.

So, please stay as long as you can :)

I bumped into an ex colleague during lunch and he told me his friend likes reading my blog. Thank you very much, i am very flattered.

Bomb 1: His friend? Who is his friend?
Bomb 2: Even he himself is an acquaintance, not a friend.
Bomb 3: He is not on my facebook, not even on my msn.
Bomb 4: He is a representative of the mass cyber stalking market.
Bomb 5: Most definitely, he is reading this entry too. HI :)

Maybe its time to make this self-proclaimed space private, we shall see.

" I've been looking at so many babies and pregnant ladies these days that i don't mind giving birth to a fat baby monster too. "

The most wonderful things on earth are free :)

.

Happy insane laughters, best friend.

Bro: You know, there's this super rich boy in my class.

Hel: Oh, how do you know he is super rich?

Bro: He get 10 bucks a day for allowance eh!

Hel: Huh, 10 bucks only, that's not very rich what?

Bro: Rich... I only get 30 cents a day :(

Hel: HUH!? How come you only get 30 cents? 30 cents can eat what?!

Bro: Can, 30 cents can eat 2 seaweed and 1 mini cup of soya milk!

Hel: AHHHHHH. Cannot even eat chicken rice?

Bro: No, chicken rice 50 cents!

Hel: Huh, then what does that rich boy eat during recess?

Bro: He eats chilli crab you know...

Hel: HUH!? Primary school canteen sells chilli crab!?

Bro: Ya, but usually the teachers eat them, course they are more high class.

Hel: Oh... then what do you eat?

Bro: I eat honeydew lor. 30 cents what.

Hel: Huh!? Tomorrow i give you 10 bucks also, you go eat chilli crab beside that rich boy!

AND YOU MUST EAT 2 BIG FAT CHILLI CRABS!!!

Things are more than wonderful.

If you want them to be :)

Bonito Chico was having their mid year flea yesterday at Helipad. It was a horrible eye opener.

[I did not know]

1) There are so many girls in Singapore.

2) There are so many girls in Singapore who are willing to queue up to 4 hours just to grab that few pieces of online clothes.

3) There are so many girls concealed behind masks of makeup and heaps of powder.

4) Desperate girls are willing to use money just to cut in the front of queues.

5) Stupid teenage girls timidly accept bribery and pocket the few tens.

6) A few tens are sufficient enough to bribe someone out of their bare principles.

7) A flea is equivalent to a war, just that the weapons are bitch stares and unintentional shoves.

This is my first and last flea participation, my sunday afternoon should not be drained out with strangers.

5 years ago when i was still adventurous and insanely funky, i had a head of poodle like permed hair. Ever since then, i decided to be tame and keep long straight hair just in case i resemble that sinister poodle again. Last week, i finally took the courage to perm my hair once again since life is getting too stagnant and stale. When i eventually emerged from the salon with permed hair, the hairdresser told me that i have to do the minimal to maintain the look. It is almost easy, breezy, beautiful hair. She reassured me that i just have to give her a random scrunch before i head out to achieve the effortlessly messy chic look.
.

I did exactly what she taught.

.

There was no effortlessly chic.

.

Instead, there was only intentional crazy.

HELEN. she's a bitch. but a KIND one.
