Here’s one of those toxin remover patches that the drug stores here are selling. You stick a patch at the bottom your feet just before you go to sleep and in the morning, it would have gone black by absorbing the toxins from your body. 
Apparently, it’s a science and it really does remove certain harmful toxins. Now these are pretty expensive, about S$80 for 20 patches I think. I managed to find this at a S$2 budget shop in Vivo City. A pack of 2 patches for only S$2. As you can see, it did turn black the morning after so I guess it did work. I mean, evil black stuff was removed and that ought to be good right? Ah, the wacky stuff a guy does when he’s alone in bed! I might buy more the next time I’m there.

Recently I been thinking a bit about good and evil, order and chaos etc.. Now I’m a big fan of fiction so I have read gazillion stories on good vs. evil. The consequences of one’s dark evil acts as well as the hazards of time traveling but I digress. But seriously, I’m just thinking why didn’t I turn out ‘bad’ while growing up? Why was I a ‘Child of Order’ during my teenage years?
Truth be told, I was a pretty ‘spoilt’ kid. I mean, as the only child in a ‘financially comfortable’ family. Almost anything I wanted I knew I could get (expect that damn chemistry set!) and as a teenager I could have gotten away with a lot of stuff. I could have stayed up all nite every weekend but I didn’t. I grew up along Orchard Road the shopping and party areas, people usedto tell me that if they lived there, they’ll be partying every nite. Er, I don't think so. Then what kept me in check? Why didn’t I go overboard? Till today, I still don’t know. I know there was a very small part of me that really wished to party and all but I didn’t. Well, someone has a theory and I think it’s the closest I heard. ‘Fear’ of disappointing my family cos I really love them and I know it’ll hurt them a lot if I did those stuff. As for my ‘Servant of Chaos’ days when I started working, that’s a story for another day. ;)
Oh yah, thank the stars I wasn’t so into food back then. I think I would have balloned into some freaky obese fatboy! Hah!
i like ur profile pic.. how did u do it?
ReplyDeleteawww thats Daiso brand, 100 yen lol
ReplyDeletenever seen this kind. gotta try!
didnt it make your feet itchy?
i like fatboy but not that freaky obese.. haha!!
good boy cava-chan ;)
i think i know what chemistry set you're talking about!!!! i got that one! BUT only because i was never into toys. no barbie dolls/dollhouses/ cooking stuff, the sorts. hah!
ReplyDeletedo those foot toxin remover really work???? i'm quite skeptical. do u feel any different in the morning?
celestine: hi there! thanks for dropping by. The pix is from an upcoming issue of Jack of Fables from DC/Vertigo.
ReplyDeleteniki: hah! its not itchy at all, only a little sticky from the plaster.
imp: well, its supposed to detox yr body after like a couple of weeks of using it (that's why the more expensive boxes have about 20 patches in them). u definitely won't feel any different in the morning but it does 'feel' nice to see that it did remove some nasty black stuff from yr body!
wow...i've gotta look into those foot patches. you've definitely piqued my curiosity. ridding the body of toxins doesn't sound like a bad thing at all. i'm also really curious about how they work.
ReplyDeleteinteresting observations about behavior. you know, my sister and i are less than 2 years apart and we grew up in the same environment. since she was a baby, she was always "acting out" and i was always very mellow. that's not to say that she was bad and i was good. that's just who we are as individuals. i think experience has a lot to do with it but as i said, we were both inherently different from my earliest childhood memories.
i am always really fascinated by our innate and learned qualities as individuals.
b: hey, how bout u email me yr mailing address and if i see anymore of those patches, i'll grab some for u? :)
ReplyDeletewhere is ur next post??(^o^)/
ReplyDeleteReally? Wow. That is so nice of you to offer. But is it worth it to you? I don't want you to have to go out of your way or anything. :)
ReplyDeleteThose patches seem pretty cool. Not that I believe they really work. A good sauna session would probably work better.
ReplyDeleteFear can be a motivation for people to behave in a certain way. Though, in my case, disappointing my parents was never a motivation. I was always motivated by simply doing what was right, regardless of what everyone else was doing. You could say, I found other people's behaviour irrational.
