Ouch!!

Ok, it's my first time. I was nervous but I tried to keep my cool. I could not really imagine exposing something so private to a complete stranger. It was more the uneasiness than the anticipated pain that kind of put me off. Nonetheless, I threw away all my inhibitions and mustered whatever courage I had and stepped into Strip, the Ministry of Wax last Friday.

The Beauty Emporium at Dempsey works something like Marche, whereby you will be given a card and all charges will be made to that single card. Payment will be made at the point of exit. Upon entry, you will be greeted with all kinds of beauty products, including body scrubs and massage oils. We were then directed to our own individual 'haven' and the procedure was explained clearly. The therapist was professional and had quick hands. It was over in matter of minutes and the pain was bearable. The first few minutes of uneasiness was erased by the light conversation that I had with the therapist. Overall, I gave 8 out 10 to the whole experience.

We then proceeded to have our dinner at this Japanese restaurant, before heading to Harry's for a drink. The gals were sharing with me tips on marriage life and the guys kept themselves busy at the pool table. Our next gathering would most probably be during my wedding day, which is in a matter of days! I am starting to feel the jitters creeping in.
