EYE BROW EMBROIDERER DISFIGURED MY FACE BY FOREIGN TALENT @ TELOK BLANGAH
Recently, I had a horrible encounter with a home based brow embroidery salon owned by a Vietnamese lady called Ho HanH Phuc, Cherry at Blk 64 Telok Blangah Drive #11-XXX S(100064).
I chanced upon her works via Carousell. I was very impressed with her artworks as the eyebrow style she did was exactly what I wanted and pictured my brows to be. I enquired and we booked an appointment. I was really excited about it however, what she did to my face was a disaster. I was disfigured and I don’t even dare to talk to people in the eye for the entire week.
We first went to design the brows. I was very satisfied and had high expectations. When the whole painful process was over, I was shocked that whatever she designed and what came out was a remarkable difference.
The brows are unbalanced as fk and one brow head was way longer than the other. At the end of the day, I was really tired and didn’t really bother about the brows because it was freshly embroided and painful. However, upon reaching home and taking a good look, I was super shocked and upset. Immediately, I texted Cherry. She promised to remove it the next day for me and touch up again. So the next day, I rushed down to her place again to remove my brows.
Her so called “removal” was just wiping over the brow head with a beige colour dye (using cotton bud) and then asking me to leave that slab of dye right there. She told me to wait for the dye to peel off in 1-2 days (it did not peel until a full week).
So, as a paying customer, looking at your brows in such horrific state, I was angry and I felt cheated. I was so upset looking at my face and I could not even conceal with concealer because of the texture of the beige dye. I consulted a few other beauticians and they adviced me to remove with makeup remover before the dye sets in. I just did that ( and was thankful that I did that, imagine the consequences if I didn’t).
A week later, looking at my face when it healed up, I realized the part where she had made the error had became a scar. My left brow has a scar too. I felt that it is only fair that she gave me a refund. I asked for a refund, explaining to her that her work is unacceptable. It is unprofessional and was nothing like what the pictures promised.
Immediately, she defended herself, by saying that I am impatient. And she added on that I requested my brows to look like that (I did ask for a longer brow but I did not request for one LONG brow and one SHORT brow). She proceeded to mention her own eyebrow had an error and she waited for years for the dye to peel off. She even questioned me and asked if she could wait for the error to be removed, why can’t I. I was really angry as I came to her with normal looking eyebrows and I had no scar. But after I left her place, my face was in a disaster. I was already angry that she messed up my face, but now she pushed the blame back to me. It is very clear it was her own lack of skill and she wanted to cover it up.
I wanted to drop the case if I get a refund however she pushed the blame back on me. She said that she promised to fix and remove the brows for me so she cannot refund me. But, would you trust her again if you were me? The whole point boils down to trust. I trusted her with my face. Not only she cheated me with pictures that aren’t her work (obviously), she still went on to fk up my face and eyebrows. She even told me the next time when I go back to her she will fix it for me and if she does not, she will refund me the full amount. But seriously, why would I go back to her to screw up my face again.
In summary, I just felt cheated. Whatever she drew on my face for the design was worlds apart from what she embroided. Her pictures of her artwork did not justify what she embroided onto my brows as well. She may have her side of her story, but as a customer, this was what I received. Pictures tell all the story, I do not need to elaborate any further. I don’t think there is anything I can do, but at least my face served as a story to tell. If anyone has any options as to how I can fix them without lasering, please do share with me. Thank you
P. S I did the procedure on 7th August 2017. On the date I posted its 18 Aug. My picture look normal because I have to use lots of concealer and cover her ugly mistakes and re draw my own brows. It is not possible for me to even do a new embroidery because my skin is still red and not even healing. Just got updates that this Vietnamese woman is telling people that I requesting refund as I did NEW embroidery from somewhere else. Lol.

GRAB CUSTOMER SERVICE HAVE PROBLEM WITH PROFILE PICTURE OF PASSENGER
Wear swimming trunks also want to complain. The man received a phone call from Grab customer service and telling him to change his profile picture.
Why Singaporean’s so backward.
Driver nothing better to do is it?
GRAB RIDERS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF GRAB DRIVERS. PLEASE SHARE!
Please share my post up as I need my post to go viral to stop taking advantage or misuse grabhitch thinking that grabhitch is another commercial or taxi service.
Happen to see this request for tomorrow 27/8/17 at 5pm from Blk 6XXC Jurong West St 64 to Pasir Ris MRT at 5pm with the note “Pax need to reach Pasir Ris MRT by 6pm.”
Now this is very obvious that is someone else booking on behalf of a Tekong recruit booking in tomorrow. Unlike commercial car or taxi service, by right hitchers are supose to identify themselves and only request for a ride for their own, not someone else like their son or Friend or whoever. And that this “hitcher” is obviously telling hitch drivers to only pick that recruit as he is rushing to book in.
Now if the person that requested by the name “XX Xuo” is a parent, I would say that he/she is spoiling his/her boy who is in army by teaching them how to be stingy and selfish, if he/she is so afraid of surge, just book a taxi or ask the boy to leave home early, maybe at 4.30pm and take the direct train from Boon Lay MRT down to Pasir Ris as Blk 662C Jurong West Street 64 is just opposite Boon Lay MRT!
I am sharing this is because I don’t want grabhitch or RYDE drivers to be misused by such riders as this will make riders bolder day by day, we have got all kinds of riders lately using grabhitch from request over All Singapore Stuff to making a big scene out of no reason when rejected by drivers after a commissioning parade.
As far as we expect more of such nonsense to come, I hope grab looks into this as well and ASS Editors can post such articles up to show the audiences what kind of riders we have lately and to make them ashamed of what they are doing, we drivers aren’t taxi or private hire car drivers and please do not label us as someone whom are greedy over petrol money or maintenance costs.
Too all grabhitch and RYDE drivers out there, you have been warned and happy hitching!
Thank your

WHAT IS MY MEDISAVE FOR IF I CANT FULLY UTILIZED IT?!! STILL ASK ME PAY CASH
I went to NUH recently for my followup treatment for my diabetes after the speech by our PM LHL.
After the consultation I was given my supscriptions to collect from the pharmacy in NUH itself. Upon given the medicines I saw the amount stated there to which I was supposed to pay was $72/+ but when I go to the cashier’s counter and told them I wanted to pay using my medisave a/c.
I was told to hold on for them to arrange to charge to my medisave a/c. I am fully shocked and surprised when they came back and told me thar the amount was $86/+ and I have to pay the difference of $12/+ in cash.
I then question the cashier why the difference in the amount, and his answer was a I don’t know. I had to pay up with no choice.
I hope the NUH managment and the MOH can give us Senior Citizens who have had no more income.
Why are you forcing us to pay additional for the medicines given to us?
FAMILY EATING IN SMRT BUS LIKE NOBODY BUSINESS
An anonymous netizen was sitting in Bus 856 at 4PM yesterday evening when he saw a Singaporean family of 4 board the bus. The family comprised a man, his wife and their 2 children.
According to the netizen, he heard the man say: “Jom, Duduk belakang” (Trans: Let’s sit behind) before going to the back with his family and opening a box of food to share among themselves.
The netizen felt that this was not right as the family did not appear to be very hungry, nor were the children complaining or making requests to eat. Instead, the family appeared to just disregard bus laws prohibiting food in public buses.
He wrote: “Bus is getting full, they doesn’t care how other looks at them. They still ask the children which one nicer, son said I like the mango taste one! And no one complaint to the driver which I also believe that the driver couldn’t do much. If you’re the person who saw this situation, what would u do?”
ARE SINGAPOREANS ARE TOO PROUD TO PUT ASIDE THEIR DIFFERENCES TO LISTEN AND WORK ON FUNDAMENTAL SOLUTIONS??
I read and re-read the reports about the Prime Minister’s twitter, where he explained that Singapore’s e-payments infrastructure is fractured, and it is high-time to build a system that is more efficient and universal.
Memories came rushing through on the times when I was immensely proud of our payment systems in Singapore. Lest anyone forgets, we HAD one of the best systems in the world in the 1990s. As a payment system vendor, I remember we used to host visitors from countries around the world who want a view of how a world-class payment system should look like.
We were a model, we were what other countries aspired to be. While the Americans were (and still are) struggling to get out of their expensive cheque payment and clearing system, our NETS or debit card system was well-oiled and worked like clockwork since 1985.
You see, Singapore leapfrogged from the rest of the world in the 1980s. While the rest of the developed world was still using the checking system, Singapore thought otherwise, and completely leaped over using cheques as payment at the retail level (supermarkets etc), and instead, we implemented NETS, or EFTPOS system.
And so, in the 1990s and even early 2000s, we were a textbook success of how payment systems should be to the world. Kudos to the folks at MAS and MOF in those days for their foresight.
But technology is always unforgiving. No amount of our past successes will ever guarantee our future. And so this is how it is like in payment systems as well. I saw first hand how interesting and breathtaking this can be.
In 1994, our team visited Mongolia with the aim to implement an ATM and smart card (or IC card) systems there. To our big surprise, people were still barter trading and they had no clue what money was. The first thing we did was not to showcase our payment system solutions, but instead, we talked about what M1, M2 and M3 were. Today, if you visit Mongolia, you will notice they still do not use money, but instead use their IC card (or smart card) for their transactions. They completely leap frogged using cash as a payment medium.
That same year, I was invited to Hanoi Vietnam together with a team from AT&T to present to the Minister of Finance and the executives of major banks on ATM implementation. As I passed through the vast plantation from the airport to my hotel, I recalled the many mine warnings I had heard over the media.
On that trip, the hotel attendant had to look through a printout of blacklisted cards to authorize my payment when I used my credit card.
In order not to grapple with the mines situation in Vietnam, our proposal to the Vietnam Finance minister then was to use satellite to connect up the ATMs and other banking communications.
Today, satellite is indeed frequently used in Vietnam to link up for infrastructure, communication and definitely banking purposes. Again, they leapfrogged from using landlines.
Back to Singapore today… our e-payment system is recognized as being fractured. While I do see this as true to some extent, it is still hard to feel the pride in me punctured. And although I can rationalize why and how it come to this, I believe the more important question is how we can move forward.
Maybe someone already has a solution to this. Maybe some companies have some state-of-the-art solution somewhere that can be implemented. But here’s the thing I think will be the biggest obstacles. Pride and people.
Yes, pride. Singaporeans are too proud to put aside their differences to listen and work on radical solutions, especially if these come from ‘less developed’ or ‘less established’ sources.
Next, Singaporeans and Singapore companies are too quick to think up the selfish benefits they can obtain directly before they put the country’s needs first. It is like always looking for the government to feed them first, instead of thinking what they can do for the country. Maybe this is the price we pay for having a paternalistic government.
As for those vetting solutions and proposals in the government agencies, perhaps it pays to have people who have in depth knowledge of the industry and some entrepreneurial spirit rather than those who just want to be ‘right’ and protect their existence and their jobs. If this goes on, then great ideas will always be buried and ideas from big corporations will grab attention. We know that the best ideas always come from fresh and young minds, and the millennials and Gen Z should not be overshadowed.
Perhaps the merchant discount rate (MDR) or credit card fees needs to be reviewed, perhaps the devices have to be redesigned and rethought, perhaps even the switches (like NETS and use of VISA and regional networks) need a revamp. Perhaps the government or MAS need to lead or consult the industry to recraft how we look at e-payment with the game now changed from the 1990s. Perhaps, instead of just looking within the country, we need to think about how we can work with our friends in the region to build a more solid e-payment infrastructure regional wide that is scalable and more affordable. Perhaps we need to think of how to reown our transactions. Perhaps we need to do all these before it is too late.
For a developed country to leapfrog, it means to put aside the individual self-esteem, to forget about our legacy systems, to forget about our past glory, to put aside short term individual or company financial gains and go back to the drawing board and start from scratch, to redo a blue print.
Is it possible? Of course. We have done it before. It is now not a good-to-have but a must-have for the survival of good organizations and good jobs in the country to build a world-class e-payment system. Payment lubricates the economy, and not only must we build an cutting-edge system, we must do it with a revenge.
I see recognizing our e-payment system as fractured a rare opportunity to emerge not only stronger but a seachange from the way we do things, not only in Singapore, but in the region and perhaps the world. I have so much hope.
Singapore has always been a miracle. Our ancestors have shown us how to perform the impossibles. We must continue to be unique and incredible, put aside our need for individual short term gains not only in the hope of transforming our e-payment system from a fractured one to a world-class one in record time, but in the way we grow from a country on steroids to one that is truly developed from the inside out, and then spread the same to our neighbours.
We are a people of miracles. We have also always been a ‘we’ people, and once the ‘I’ in us fade into obscurity, I know that we will be world-class again within and around our country, and fractured systems will no longer be a feature.
