who says there's no free lunch in the world?

I have been receiving this call from some unknown number weeks ago and they claimed that I am invited for some free facial / slimming trial.

Thinking that there's no free lunch in the world, I reluctantly agreed after their multiple attempts in fixing an appointment with me.

Upon confirmation, I received an sms with the details and address.

"This is our gentle reminder for your Complimentary Nobel Award Facial Treatment...
FOC Hair straightener worth $59.90 after trial...
No hard selling..." Oh REALLY?

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE???

Anyways.

Greedy me went ahead on Tuesday.

Located at 39 Carpenter Street

There it is, BIOFOCUS! (Awarded Excellent Services) EH HEM!

Was told to fill in my particulars (ya, to facilitate future harrassments, haha!)

And I was ushered up to the treatment room at Level 2. Pretty cozy and pleasant ambience, just that there was this water feature that was kinda noisy. 

Nothing much to shoot so took a shot of its machine. 

Before she began the treatment, she was telling my how I could further improve my skin conditions by this and that treatment. All of which costs around $90++ each! 

When I kindly declined, she responded by saying the complimentary facial has only whitening effects, it's a normal treatment. HELLO, where does your self-acclaimed "Complimentary Nobel Award Facial Treatment" go?

Never minds.. but she was so pushy!!! 

I was prepared to pay but only if it were below $50? My usual facials only cost me around $30 nett, and best of all, they never hard sell to me at all! 

SO. from a 90 mins treatment, it was shortened to only 30 mins. 

After which, she brought me down and got me to do a quick 5 qns survey. I was still worried that she might force me to sign some packages. 

And TaDAH!

The free hair straightener they promised!

Apparently, maybe this product is really cheap or something. My colleague whom went for a free slimming treatment received the exact same thing too! 

I have yet to try it, thinking of giving it to my colleague cause I have a jose eber hair straightener which works perfectly fine, shall see how.

Here's another FREE LUNCH:

"Dear Shirley Wee, 

Congratulations! You've won yourself the following prize(s): 

A khiel's travel size gift set worth $33"

No idea how I won this, but anyways... Thanks CLEO!
