its more than a tub

T for tuesday, terrific balinese massage, unexpected: the concubine bath tub!


was looking forward for the massage cos have been having tight knots on shoulder areas and sore back. had breakfast with gx, didnt dare to eat too much cos an hour before the massage, afraid i throw up! took a bus while gx went to office. just before i got off the bus, suddenly i got tapped on my hand and i got shocked! turned around and it was ambrose. its been long since i met him. he quickly passed me his namecard jus before i alighted! wondered if he owns the interior firm or he's working for them. Angie's spa is at sin ming plaza tower 2. i was the first customer for the day, 11am appointment. i was served a short glass of refreshing drink to relax . sitting on the sofa by the windows was a nice way to start my day. (photos are provided by angie, then no sofa!)

the place is very cosy. the rooms are comfortable size, not the tiny type. my room had attached bath room, with the rain shower, camera was locked in locker, next time will take photos with own camera. i decided to add the scrub package, so i had a scrub session, rinsed off and got 15mins in the concubine bath that had aroma oil in it. its far back in the picture. my description would be the old antique bath tubs... so i was left to soak in the dim lit room. its nice to have a chance to be in such a tub! guess its a kind of fantasy and its a luxury so i have never tot i would have the chance to try it out and in angie's spa! the lady who did the massage was good cos she knows how to get rid of my knots! not many knows how to ease my pain. angie's spa having offer for pre-natal massages... i book mine cos it was a good deal... no i am not pregnant yet, not kiasu, but just storing never know when the time comes and oso to show my dear friend my support.

after the massage, we headed to have lunch nearby and angie recommended hooked on heads. they have a pretty cool logo, not the conventional type...used when they are selling fishhead curry. we ordered a "fish tail" curry, baby gailan and crispy tofu. i like the tofu best. the veg never really my favourite was not bad. as for the curry, its ok as i still think my mum's nicer. lucky for us we didnt walk too far from her shop, cos it rained very heavily. stayed at her spa to chat till gx came to fetch me. by the time he came, the sun was out again! we drove along thomson so i made him turn into somewhere around upper thomson. got off to checkout some shops. went into ivins, peranakan food restuarant and got ourselves teatime!

alittle disappointed as not all the kuehs nice... the one i like best would be the one above. durain flavoured kueh. ondeh was ok but the rest not nice...

went to uncle k house to pick up some albums for selecting fotos... when i got there, my student, uncle k's neighbour was playing with the twins. went back to mums for dinner. when i got home i was eager to eat the remaining durian from monday! love the cold durians! shiok! i want more!
