lesson #193: who needs plastic surgery when you have the sun?

Want bee-stung lips? Great tip: make your way down to Sentosa, bathe yourself in the sun for two days straight, go back home and wait for results to show. Your lower lip will swell to bee-stung proportions in no time! This cheap (albeit skin-damaging) method beats going to the surgeon anytime, hey?


Am back from Sentosa. The tan on my body is pretty all right but my face is scorched! The only plus point is that for some time I won't need to apply blush to get that radiant pinkish glow. The two minus points are that 1) my scalp has blisters and 2) my lower lip is swollen out of proportions.


I can take point 1). Anyway, it doesn't hurt that much now, all I need to do is use cold water when shampooing the scalp to prevent aggravation. But I can't take point 2). Yesterday the swelling was much worse. The lip was really looking big, fat and juicy - like a piece of cheese sausage. It's gone down today but inner part's still swollen so it still feels a bit funny, but at least it's a huge improvement from yesterday.


Right. Off to apply some ice.
