Today on my way to the univerisity, I walked alone while window shopping. Out of the blue something catched my eyes. The banner at the window of a shop read: Free Suntan! I always like tan complexion. It indeed seemed intriguing to me. Besides, which chinese doens’t like freebies? Despite the old saying “There’s no free lunch below the sky”, I went into the shop and asked the staff about it. Without having to register or paying anything, I was lead to the suntan machine. I locked myself in the room and undressed. I was afraid that it’s a con. Because in Malaysia there’s practically nothing good that comes as free. Anyhow without thinking too much, I went into the machine with only underwear and protective eyewear. The blue-looking ultraviolet looked quite scary when I thought of scary movie scene where the girls are burnt to death in the suntan bed. 6 minutes later i came out and became darker. Then I dressed up and walked out of the shop. It’s so simple…although the effect is not that obvious. lol.
