on my massage and facial session today!
Think next time, to prevent any cock-up, I should NEVER make 2 appts too closely together. Can be the same day but the timing must be wider apart.
Like today, I was waiting and waiting for Margaret's call until it's 11.55am and she's still not here. Our massage appt was at 12pm. As usual, me being the kan chiong queen, cannot stand waiting at home and went downstairs to wait. I called her and noted that she was still on her way cos her daughter has accidentally locked herself in the study room and there was no way they could open it from outside using a key as there's another latch from the inside of the door. Eventually, she managed to get out of e roomie. Phew~
Margaret also lent me her luggage which I only spoke to her about it yest. Gd memory! Can save me a whole lot of hassle from carrying around in public transport! I brought it upstairs and rushed down again.
We reached the massage centre, Nyonya Weina, near Farrer Park mrt station at about 12.20pm. It's okay bcos they leave a slot of 90mins for us just in case we wanna do 2 kinds of massages, which is 45mins each.
The massage is more on focusing on our health and not just relaxation ones like those in facial salon. It's an Indonesia family method beauty centre, which provides many professional services like:
- Gold Coin Slimming Massage
- Jamu Body Treatment
- Minyak Oles Breast Enhancement
- Post-natal Wrap
- Family Herb Steam Bath
- Facial
They can customise the massage accordingly to your health. From our trial visit, they would be able to tell us roughly what we need to pay attn to.
Okay, I find the massage quite gd, except that it's quite painful as well. They incorporate the normal massage of the acupressure points with gold coin that they called it. It's like Chinese' Gua 1 Sha 1, if u have heard it b4. They use the coin to rub against ur body which will help u to feel rejuvenate at the end of the session. I believe that it's also to get rid of the wind in the body. After the massage, Margaret commented that my back are all RED with marks, like kanna bashed up by pple. When I looked at her, I got a shock as well, her neck seemed all bruised, which was worst than love bites. But we didn't complain that it was pain when we touch the "injured" areas.
The masseuse told me that for me, it's bcos I have poor blood circulation, could be due to lack of slp, using too much PC, etc. Recommended to do more massage to see improvement. Same for MA, she also have to do more improve her blood circulation. She even went on to sign 24 sessions with them for $1.1k+ (which she can use for another service too). If 10 sessions will be for $650, which I might think abt it. No hard-selling, which is good!
Finished the session at 1.30pm. Need to rush for my facial appt at Chinatown at 2pm. Chop chop... cannot go with an empty stomach, so I ordered a plate of banana prata the nearby coffee shop. They have lots of pratas to choose from, got ice-cream prata somemore!! Their curry sauce is so nice! Not spicy at all! I like!
Next up, my facial appt with Skin Revival! Reached Chinatown mrt at 2.05pm. Ran all e way to the EXIT that pointed to Lucky Chinatown. The hot scorching sun is making me sweat like crazy. Ran to CK and exit thru the other exit, saw Oriental Plaza which Cindy told me it's near This Fashion, where the shophouses are. I even walked up to Keong Saik Street cos I could NOT find any block 49 at all at Kreta Ayer Street. I hereby declared I cannot read MAP at all. Somehow, I managed to find out where SATA was after asking 2 ppl for directions and noted that the facial salon is at the same stretch. Pple even told me that SATA was moved to AMK liao! This one I really dunno. Then suddenly, it strikes me lahs! There's no block 49, it's their UNIT no. Aiyooo... so blur! so I was there all along, just that I could locate it.
So anxious, kinda waiting for their call to check on me, but nope. I managed to reach there finally like 2.20pm. The staff are young and friendly, somehow they look like my age and are bilingual. They did an analysis with me before the start of the facial, like what facial and makeup products am I using, what's my purpose of coming here, etc. Then, they even explained STEP by STEP the procedures of what they are going to do for me. Eg. 1st of all, we are going to remove ur makeup, do u wear any mascara? Then, we will do a double cleansing for u, etc etc! Wow.. never have anyone brief me like that before. Best part was that they even asked for my budget before doing anything. Lovely! Haha... so yups, I was pretty satisfied with everything, even the painful extraction was okay for me, steaming was done before e start of the 30mins extraction which helps to open up the pores, so it's not so painful. I enjoyed the acupressure and the shoulder massage, which I think that the beautician is really gd at all. Fell aslp after she put the mask on my face. Simply too relaxing! =)
No hard-selling as well like what Cindy told me. I can even go back to think abt the package or I could choose to go 3 consecutive times every mth and the 4th time, I can be considered as a regular to enjoy discounted price. Thinking of switching here, plus their products are made of natural ingredients. Gd! Dun think it's as exp as the one that I'm going currently. I can even buy for sample-size products to see if my skin will have allergic reactions to them or not.
Am a very satisfied customer today =) Feel like being a tai-tai! Enjoying all day long. Haha.. sometimes I wish money would drop from the skies, so that I can enjoy like this everyday! Dreaming!! =P
8:33 PM.
