work in progress
*Wednesday, August 06, 2008*
havent been picture blogging in a while due to the sudden lack of enthusiasm for capturing my life's "precious moments" hahaha.. nah. just havent really been going out. and even when im out my phone's flat. but anw here was last sunday. went to the temple in the morning with my family followed by this! Dim sum at 和记 at Geylang. Its not one of the best dimsum places but its e nearest to my place with the most convenient parking lots so yeah. slept at like almost 5am before waking at 7plus to go out so didnt wanna go anywhere further. i was actually dreaming of turf city dimsum, which would have been rather convenient considering that my dad drove but i really wanted to go home and catch some sleep.
told them after the food came that maybe we should have gone to turf city and my mum was like AIYO why never say earlier. haha my bro was out the whole night too so we were all kinda sleeping at the table. haha Bryan's just like me. dont sleep, dont study whole day play play play. haha ok maybe i dont play that much anymore(age constraint). i hope he turns out better than i have. still a long way to go..........
the lotus leaf rice was actually the nicest among everything there. and the sotong you tiao. other than that nothing fantastic. just normal stuff.
although i was tired it felt good to go out with my family. since a few months back i've been either too busy or i've been making up a lot of excuses to not go out unless it was absolutely necessary. i feel bad but i know i've been a real big ass either flaring up or plain ignoring them. there shouldnt be any excuses but yeah i'll try to be a nicer daughter/sister.
and after several attempts to sleep since 9am i gave up. left home to prepare for my virgin spa experience at Comfort space HelioAsia. saw Gavin at Paragon but he gave us a really weird look. its not even like that kinda expression where he doesn know whether he should say hi. it was just WEIRD.
regretted not taking many photos. really wanted to take photo in the Kimono thingy but coz my phone was in the locker and coz it was a lil weird in that new place. wasnt sure whether we could just take photos like that. and i wanted to burst out laughing coz i thought we looked super funny in the kimonos and stuff. and i felt exposed without my bra and in disposable underwear. obviously that wasnt the only thing we wore. there was a loose top and bottom. i dont deny that im a mountain turtle. actually felt quite excited before this and while i was there. but the other woman was just like "oh ok" and calm. you always make me feel like im weird.
The ranting starts............
WHO THE HELL STEPS OUT OF THE MASSAGE ROOM FEELING LIKE SHE WENT FOR A WORLD WAR 2 TORTURE SESSION?!?!?! Basically we opted for the Thai massage which was supposed to last for about 45min. think it was shorter than that. it was FUCKING PAINFUL. it wasnt the "stretch ur body all around and make your muscles relax" kind. it was the "permanently having someone elbow you all around" type. seriously damn painful. i almost wanted to ask the person to stop. but hx didnt seem like she was in pain at all so i just endured throughout. and when i thought she was gonna stop pressing so freaking hard on my back she went away for a while and came back again and again!!!
i thought it was somewhat similar to the foot reflexology theory where it'll hurt more if your body is weaker in certain aspects. then i started thinking.... my whole body must be falling apart coz its really really fucking painful. i didnt feel relaxed AT ALL. i was just enduring all the way. and when both of us went out of the room we were like OUCH DAMN PAINFUL blah blah blah. plus that masseuse didnt even notice the big bruise on my right calf (the dog bite). i told her and she didnt understand. the other masseuse had to tell her in thai. wahhh... imagine if she pressed on it. i'll die of pain. hahaha
went to the Jacuzzi and sauna room after that coz we were entitled to enjoy the other facilities. The Jacuzzi was probably the only thing that made us relax a bit. the Sauna was ok. i perspired like a pig and the other person just had a few drops trickling down her forehead. like WOW im weird again. haha
it was really disappointing. the place looked super nice, luxurious and relaxing but the massage was just HORRIBLE. my upper back ached the following day. i never knew spas were supposed to give u aches all over. haha wasted my $$$$$$. ARGH. should have just opted for the aroma something massage man. or like done some exfoliating full body scrub or what. GRR.
we caught this after P.S Cafe. didnt manage to finish watching it due to unforeseen circumstances. but those parts that i caught were nice. although i felt there was so much going on at the same time in the show it was hard for me to catch everything since i wasnt focusing. i'll watch it again online. what happened after that was even more nerve wrecking than the movie.giap asked me whether i would be very emo after getting bitten. coz it'll be very ugly and might leave a scar blah blah. honestly, no la. its erm a once in a lifetime experience after all? (my bro consoled me with that but added that i might have rabies. hahaha)
i cant wait for bangkok, cant wait for work to end, but i still fear for my results. :(
