Christmas Diary 06

I always forget what I do for Christmas. SO this year, I’ll record it down here.

On the 23rd,
We went to Pei Sze’s mini BBQ party, small but quality crowd. And we exchanged gifts like how we did when we were younger.

Then we went for our karaoke session, we were craving for it since last week. They had fun more than I do.
On the 24th,
We went dinner at Logen Haus. I think they served good food here but I would expect a little more on their ambience.
After dinner, we head up to Heritage Row to meet up with the rest. What else? Party ON…
On the 25th,
I found my present under the Christmas Tree.
We share lasagna for dinner.
We went to a friend’s house for Christmas party. He said BBQ but turn out it’s buffet. Got food here la but lasagna was good.
They wanted to watch movie. I suggested Ben Stiller’s latest movie and they said ok. Jacs Syndrome – Night at the Cinema. Rog said there’s one showing at 12. Happily we convoyed there and to know that it’s going to be release only on the 28th. What a big joke!
So we watched Barnyard.Favourite quote from the movie “ A strong man thinks for himself, A STRONGER MAN thinks for others”

Spa-nish

I got an invitation from my dear childhood friend for a day in the spa and this is the place that I wanted to go since last year but what I longed from the spa menu was really fcuking expensive (more than 1k) so I dropped that. Anyway, this time is an offer and obviously I accepted since I’m the chosen one. Although this will be the standard entry, I’ll still take it to experience what life is all about after working your ass out for the entire year.

Agenda for the Day

- If you are hungry, pick your food from the menu.

- Else, change and dip yourself in the hot Jacuzzi pool.
- Then, dip yourself into the 14c cold pool to close your pores. Kim says she can see my body all turn to red. Although it was only for that few sec inside the water but it's freakin cold and once you get out from it, I felt like an ice cracking due to the change of tempearature. This one is a must try! Shioking :)
- After this head on to steam room or sauna but their steam room is under maintenance. Boo hoo, I always prefer steam room.
- Moving on, get a hot shower with their lavender shower gel. Shampooed and conditioned my hair ( I put damm a lot of conditioner, hehe) My whole body smells so lavender…
- Mmm..hungree, went to the lounge and cuddle myself nicely with the blanket covered around me and asked for my food menu. If you already ate when you first came in, then this is will be your 2nd round. Quite a lot to pick from entrée, soups, snacks, main course, desserts and beverages.
- Then after makan you can sit back and smoke (free ciggies) or get a beer (limited 2 per person). For me, no smoking nor drinking, so I grabbed some mags available while watching the projected screen on the wall. You can choose plasma too.
- After awhile you can arrange your treatment service with the attendants available and I chose Shiatsu instead of aromathereaphy. So there I go, my first Shiatsu. Waa lau eh, I almost died suffocating when they stepped on my back. I lift up my hands, a sign to inform the masseuse ENOUGH!! Beside that, the rest of it was good. I like the hot and cold pack, very relaxing. Told my dad about how they step on my back, he HAAA, GIRL OR GUY? Me: (U think I go hanky panky???) But the fact is my dad was worried that if a guy step on my back, it would be too heavy and he said better don’t do that because might break my spinal cord. So I think no more Shiatsu for me.
- Now, back to the lounge and you know what you can do at the lounge ( food, ciggies & beverages)
- I chose to do my mani and pedi but manicurist only have the slot to either one for me. So only French Mani for me. Pssst, they have male manicurist which I think it’s sexy but too bad only for the men. If you want other service you can go for facial or go dip in the jaccuzzi again.
- After all that, LOUNGE AGAIN.
Imagine the number of times you can eat in a day. Really pushes you to the limit.
- Finally, if you are tired and bored of the holistic pampering, CHANGE AND GO BACK.


Thank you Kim

Poor Piggie Piggie

So sad that you need to undergo the pain from the stones, I thought of it all night to see what I can do to fight for your right, to prove that you are innocence. You did nothing wrong. My poor piggie..

Prosperity Ping

I’ve been pursuing something that I wasn’t able to see clearly for a long long time. Never imagine how unreal it is now. Never cross my mind that this would how the ending be. Many times at the last page of the story book, it would be ……………. And they lived happily ever after. Who wouldn't want every chapter of their life to be happily ever after but reality always bites.

This certainly has drenched me out in many ways but today I’ve learned. I’m surprised to see how strong I am, I thought I would crumble but no I didn’t. I’m happy instead.
I still have faith in you, The Gohonzon. Thank you

Rewind

Referring to the blog I posted 4 months ago, I said I completed my task for the next 3 months. I know this is 1 month late but at least I can still remember (giving reason to myself). I took out my diary and searched for the list I’ve written down 4 months ago. Flipped, flipped, and yeap there it is! A not so long winding page which I categorize into segments of my life. Look quite focus and structured and so I go through it one by one and remembering how I exactly felt at that moment when I wrote it. Little did I noticed time has just pass me by and I’ve forgotten what I supposed to achieve while some I still keep it in my mind. I’m happy for those which I have achieved while for those which haven’t, I’ll compile it together with my New Year resolution.

Zen'ish

I was seated and was served with some herbal tea, I couldn't figure out what was it. Not lavender nor ginger. Anyway, I took a few sip while waiting for my masseuse to attend me. She then came with a pot of water with flowers, herbs and oil. I took off my heels and rested my feet while they carefully scrub my feet to remove the dirt sticking on my feet. eee..I feel a bit ticklish but I controlled myself, not to show the jakun face la. She then lifted up my feet and so I slipped into the Balinese like sandals they prepared for me.
As I was walking my private room, the whole ambience was really tranquil with candles,grey round stones, fake orchids resting around the hallway plus the lighting was extremely dim which sets you to a real romantic, sensual and relaxing mood. Definitely not like those massage centers I went before. I like this.
When I entered the room, the bed was placed on the floor while the usual case is the stand up beds where you rest your face on the hollow. This room reminded me of Thailand. They do provide disposable G but I was lazy to change. Furthermore, I was already wearing one.
I lay there restlessly while waiting for my masseuse. The music playing at the background was really soft as I was trying hard to listen what they are playing. Can you imagine how quiet the place is? So she started with my left foot, I can feel her strength pressing on my toes. It was just alright, I don’t feel any bit of tickle like how I felt earlier. Moving on, she went to my legs, my thighs, my buttocks, my hands, shoulder and then I turned to the front so she can repeat the same thing. I won't spare the details of how the way she rubbed her hands and fingers against my body. With the right amount of oil and the momentum she was going, I was so relaxed and comfortable with her skills. I trusted her not to make me feel any pain or discomfort, basically I surrender myself to her. And I felt asleep for the first time of all the massage I went. She was really really good. When I opened my eyes, it was already towards the end of the session. She asked do I want a face and head massage and I nodded. So she didn't messed up my hair or my eyes because I still had my eyeliner on. Unlike those I went, they make me look more like a real panda (my dark circles was already bad).
Damm! Kiki was good and so she was tipped for her good service.
I will be back KiKi :)
