eyebrows!

I went for eyebrow embroidery (xiu mei) 2 days ago... It was a really terrifying experience!

First, I went there cause 'xin xue lai cao'... my cousin was telling me about it and my heart itchy so she recommended me a place and brought me there. So my parents and my cousin went to amk hub there together.

The girl started to pluck off my eyebrows and after she was done, I thought that the shape was not bad! But it wasn't finished yet, because i came here to do the embriodery, not just plucking. And so the girl drew eyebrows for me to see if i like it or not. But the process was long and tedious, and tiring.
too thick on one side.

unbalanced. one up one down... etc.
she drew and redrew for so many times, and then she kept plucking my brows to make it balance. In the end, when she erased off everything, i almost had no brows anymore. I was so terrified and so worried that she cannot get the right shape and balanced brows and my mum was nagging non-stop... Felt terrible and upset, have to pay so much ($250) and yet not being able to enjoy the process. Worse still, walk out eyebrowless.

after what seemed like 10 years, another girl finally got it right. And then she started the real process of embroidery. It was painful. Quite... but I think I got quite a high threshold of pain (since i can deal with removing 4 teeth at one go when i wanted to wear braces last time).

Didn't feel confident that my brows look nice at all after that. Cos I think it looks really TATOOed. And super dark. And my bro laughed at me non stop... yanjun found it weird too. But now then i realised what eyebrow embroidery is: the dark disgusting brows on the skin are starting to shed, and the remaining brows looks not too bad after all! stupid me.. didnt even know they will shed off, thought it will look so damn dark for a long time. Ha... give comments when u see me! --end of story :P
