Yesterday, while at lunch with Elaine, (Yes, we're all good now again! Yay!!!!!!!) she commented that I've grown more tanned this trip. Most people would take this as a compliment, unfortunately, the opposite holds true for me. I guess, it's true that I look healthier and less ghost-like or druggie-like, but I truly prefer myself to be as white as snow (nowhere near there by a long shot but we can always hope.)

To compound matters, this is clearly a view held by all the people that I've asked: I do look healthier now. *SOB*

In the words of one friend: "Au tampok buay si ay" (Black a bit won't die one)

The newly appointed 'Koge Pan' aka Me disagrees.

Note to self: Buy economy bottle of whitening product.
