ITCH
I woke up with rashes on my legs, arms and tummy on Saturday morning. By afternoon, it got worse, and it was very itchy. As I am a very poor person who refuse to spend money going to a clinic that would be opened on Saturday afternoons, I decided to endure the itch and go to a Chinese medicinal shop to find the cure for my itch.
Me : Uncle, is there any cream I can apply for rashes like this? *proceeded to show him the rash on my arms*
Chinese Uncle at Chinese medicinal shop : This kind ah ... *took out a small box with a tube of Chinese medicine inside* ... you apply this lah ... can cure itch one.
Me : Just to cure the itch? Is there other medicine I can take to treat the rash and stop the itching?
Chinese Uncle : Yah yah, this one is very good. Can treat rash also. You apply straight away will stop the itch liao.
The box said "White Pearl Cream" and it cost me 4 bucks.
When I opened up the tube of cream, it smelled exactly like Mopiko. Not only that, it felt exactly like Mopiko on my skin.
I suspect the manufacturer of Mopiko decided to change the brand packaging, and gave Mopiko a more exotic name, "White Pearl", so that they charge at a higher price for the same thing.
It stopped the itch, but by evening, I was getting more rashes on other parts of my body.
I feel so cheated.

On a separate note, I came across this picture when I was looking for a picture for White Pearl Cream:

It's the oldest trick in the book. Sex sells. And now men will queue up like mad to buy White Pearl Cream.

noneofyrbusiness: wah lau .... your translation win liao lor!
bittersweet: better now, thanks! if they were referring to the texture and colour of the skin, how can that treat rashes??
ezer: no, a woman's age is a secret! dats right, it gives u smooth and creamy skin, but it doesn't cure the rashes!
green ogre: hahahah ... i guess u're one of those queueing up then? heheh ...
perhaps you had a skin allergy? it happens sometimes, despite people not having medication allergies. >.<
good to know you're much better now. i guess its just another marketing name for Mopiko. besides, 'white pearl cream' sounds much better than Mopiko, don't you think? :D
Ezer: Adrenaline is 15.
ensui: i'm really not sure. it could skin allergy, or food allergy. After all, i didnt visit a proper doctor.
sibeh sian: ....
if white pearl cream can make me look like that, i'll get a carton and slather myself all over.
akk: agree!
