Useless Birthday Gift


Call me ungrateful. I received this well ahead of my birthday. And so did thousands of September babies who are Maybank card members.

 A Birthday Card.


A thing of rarity. 


My Exclusive Birthday Gift indeed.


Body Perfect Ladies Beauty & Slimming Haven .... Bah! They are really rubbing it in, aren't they?


The complimentary options for me to choose from.


Diamond Miracle Face Treatment. Yeah, like that would help. 


Essential-Balance Lymphatic Drainage Wellness Therapy for Face & Neck. I don't need lymphatic drainage. I need fat drainage.


Same as Option 2 except that this is for Head & Shoulders.

There is no such thing as complimentary. The moment you step in there, they will recommend this and that and you will end up signing up for more sessions and buying products that will supposedly complement your treatments.

Bah! I wish they would just give me some money instead :(

    Or maybe I did, but threw them away without closely scrutinizing every time? :/

    Ah so you are also a September baby. I didn't get this from them or maybe I didn't check my mail properly.

    Give you some money? Fat chance!! Wakakakaka!! :D I think I've also received these complimentary stuff before which I just throw away without reading further. You're right...there's nothing free in this world, the moment you redeem, they'll try to sell you this and that >_<

    Nothing is free. In fact they are hoping to make money out of you once you step into their saloon.

    Hi Phong Hong, nothing is free lah. All this are marketing tactics, tied up with credit card. After the free session they will buzz you like big bumble bee. hahaha.....

    Best regards,

    Actually I also very afraid of all these complimentary stuff, it is a gimmick, once you are there, they try to psycho and hard sell you more stuff, I hate it
