continue facial story

Alooo....
Back to my story :)
A lot of things has happened lately.
1. I went for facial
2. I went to a spa
3. I ruined all of the rejuvenation by being trap in subang square parking lot while mpsj was fogging it. I believe that a fly would have died mid-flight seeing the heavy fogging in the basement parking lot! Luckily no vehicle and human were injured during the incident >P
Ok where was I ..... Oh yeah the facial story.
Of all my 30 ehmmmm years in this planet, I finally made the decision to go for facial. Yes it was a great mark in my life.....infact they should have entered it in the Malaysian Book of Records!!!!!. Heheheehehe ...Truthfully it took guts -meaning that 3 times i made a 180 degree before I actually entered the centre and request for an appointment.
4 o'clock ....dong....dong.....went into the room where I was supposed to do my facial ooohh the name of the facial - Golden Facial (I know sounds like goldfingers : )) There were three massage beds in that room. The lights were dim and it had a bali air to it especially with the soft balinese music in the background and the balinese carving on the partition that seperate each bed from one another.
The girl asked me to undress and my eyebrows shoot up. Undress? I thought I was going for a facial! The girl gently explained to me that I might dirty my shirt plus their giving a neck and shoulder massage for free. She pointed to a cute tube (loong tube) which shows my bare shoulders so I was actually wearing modestly :P
There I was laying comfortably on the bed, with my face being massaged and pampered. Whatever cream they applied it was nice and I could feel its the cooling affect. It was sooo relaxinnnnngggg untiiillll it came to the blackheads.
First it was the vacumming part...which was really nice but what came afterwards was painful. Siince I haven't don't any facials before and I never actually took care of my face - (my facial wash is a bar of soap and no tonner (I know guilty to the bone)) imagine the black heads!!!! The vacuumming didn't help to remove all the blackheads so out comes the long sharp needle. I didn't think plucking blackheads would be painful but maaaann does it hurt especially the nose. I was like trying to be really macho holding back the tears but after 15 minutes a lone tear went down my cheek. No more plucking I tell ya!!!!!
Aside from that the rest was relaxing, I had a free eyes massage also.
You should see my face, its so soft and clean :P
On to the next story.....SPAAAA.....
It was my aunt's birthday (two weeks ago) The children treated her to a spa treatment...Seeing that the package was reasonable and I had extra money I decided to tag along . The spa was in Ampang.
The package include a foot massage , a steam bath, a body massage , body scrub and herbal bath along with herbal drinks . The price was way below RM 200. Cheap right :P
Most spa had a balinese theme, so this spa was not excluded. We were led to a dim corridor, with balinese plank floorings. Our 'room' or pangkin which was like a patio with curtains at all sides. After we had changed to robes (me and my cousin had the same room) , we were led back to the corridor. There were two wooden jati chairs set at the side of the wall with two basins infront of them. We were told to soak our feet in the basins filled with warm water and i think a combination of soap and herbal ointment. There we were in our robes, soaking away for ooohhhh about 15 minutes when the two aids came and massaged our feet.
It was wonderfuuuuuuuuuullllllll.
The next step was the steam bath . That was when I realized that I have clastrophobic. We were brought into a small wooden room. Imagine a small closet with two stools and an arm length between you and the wall infront. If you can imagine that then imagine a lobster being steamed.....ALIVE...!!!!! That was how we felt.
The temperature was soo hot at first and I could hardly breath with a lot of steam coming into the room. Me and my cousin kept fidgeting , sitting and standing until both of us couldn't stand it anymore ....we pushed the door open. Both of us were bathing in sweat and my vision was all foggy even when i stepped out of the room for a while. Then one of the aid went to check on us and saw us step out of the room. I guess she took pity with us , she lowered the temperature but we had to go back and endure the heat for another 10 minutes. My imagination kept running wild. I began imagining that someone was subotaging us and increased the heat and that the door was locked shut and we couldn't get out and then the aids will find us all motionless in that room and well cooked and than it turned out that they were carnivorous and was waiting to eat all of us like something out of the hansel and gratle movie!
Told ya I have a wild imagination. But it was all good. After 10 minutes they came for us. I guess we were so tender that it was easy for them to massage us :P
Can I say it again ....the massages were really good. you could feel your body relax.
