Fabulous Tan

Since don't-know-when, I've always wanted to be tanned. I must have been obsessed with the sunshine boy-look that I see in male models in fashionista magazines and besides that, I believe having a tanned-skin will make me look more sporty (precisely why cause I hardly do sports) and helps in removing for me those ugly uneven tan-lines I got during those NS days.

But trying to get a tan isn't easy for me. Firstly, I'm not a weather forecaster and I had enough of playing hide-and-seek games with the Sun. One moment you see the Sun is up bright and shining in the sky and you decide to head down to the pool for a sun-bathing session. The next moment, the minute you stepped at the pool entrance, dark clouds started forming. -_-"

Secondly, I get sun burns easily. And I really don't want to look like a walking barbecued sotong or tan-doori chicken out in the streets.

That's why I was determined to find a way which will allow me to have a great tan in the fastest possible time and this is when I decided to try out indoor tanning. Through the newspaper, I got to know about this place in Bugis which offers indoor tanning services and everything about it was quite cool after checking it out for myself.

(1) The whole place was adorned with my favourite colour - orange - giving a very lively and vibrant feel. (2) They offer free trials for first-timers to try out their tanning services. (3) The staff there are polite and friendly, and more than willingly to share with you their knowledge of the various tanning equipments, their prices & packages, tips for a good tan and so on. Did I also mention that all their staff are god damn beautifully tanned? Their skin are so golden and shining such that it blinded my eyes. Well, I guess that should be the way. I wouldn't be more than convinced if they have a Snow White or a Hainanese Chicken as a consultant. Something must be wrong.

So just this afternoon I went down for their free trial and overall it was quite a great experience I must say. Well, I can see a little bit of the tanning results at the end of it (though not very obvious) and hopefully I'll be getting the body tone that I want in subsequent follow-ups. :)
