my first lancome experience

it is the second day of training at lancome.
and its tiring tiring tiring!
:((
i was only required to be seated in an air conditioned room throughout the training,
but the sitting alone (for 7 hours) a day can totally drain me of my energy!
sobsobsob.
all the trainees (3 full time 5 part time) were fed with information and knowledge about skincare, skin itself, fragrances, bleah bleah.
and tomorrow, the last day of the training, is going to be makeup day!
hehe..
in my opinion, the most interesting of the lot.
i hope it's going to be fun tomorrow.
:)

fortunately, the people there are quite nice.
the part timers are chirpy individuals who were around my age.
and it wasn't long before we get engrossed in interesting small talks.
hahahaha.
the trainer is a gorgeous lady who looks a decade younger than her actual age.

the worse thing about the training?
it has to be the BLACK COVERED SHOES!
dammit!
gave me and a few other trainees blisters and unslightly abrasion scars on our feet.
it sucks inside out!!!
urgh urgh!
now my feet is still hurting like mad. and tomorrow, i'm supposed to wear those black covered shoes STILL!

to add on to my agony,
next week is going to be fully packed with work shifts!
boooooooooooooooooo.
is it good or not?
i have been skipping my lessons in schol so often!
i think its high time i return to the classrooms before i fail this elective!

lancome have got very high expectations of the grooming of their BAs.
i was shocked when i first saw the LIST of grooming RULES!

-mascara
-foundation with powder
-eye shadow of two fucking colours
-blusher
-eye liner
-lipstick
-short neat nails with polish, and during a launch of a new pdt, must apply special colour somemore!!!! wtf!
-black covered shoes with NO designs and NO slip ons
-no overstuffed pockets
-no baby hair allowed to be left hanging around! (wtf)
-no clips, only black rubber bands; fringe to be WAXED UP!
-only stud earrings of silver, gold, pearl, diamonds
-one ring on each hand only

i think the stunned look on your face now is pretty much the same as the one on mine this afternoon.

O_o

nevertheless, i applaude the neatness and meticulous attitude of the lancome beauty advisors.
*salute*
i'm gonna die.

the the worst worst worst thing is,
part timers have got NO special rates for the products!
A R G H ! ! ! ! ! !

i met up with mummy after work.
mummy went for her body check up at KK women clinic today.
she encountered some abnormality with some health checkup not long ago and was referred to KK for a further examination.
i'm so so so relieved that everything is well now! :D
i could tell mummy was elated too!
health is indeed wealth.
we had yummy chicken rice at far east plaza (which left us SUPER thirsty)
then she accompanied me to heerens to meet melissa for a fitting.

mel is writing for an online magazine called funky grad and had asked me to help her with some shoot.
so we headed down to new urban male for some kickass bikini!
teehehe! she got 3 different suits for me and a pair of havainas (ok, is this how i spell it?)
;p
it is a pity that i can't keep these things. haha!
the shoot is this saturday at sentosa!
i think i better eat light and check on my tummy and flabs before it all spills out on saturday.
LOL.

i'm dead beat! so tired! :"(
