There are few things that I never tried because I could never afford to try it. So this year, I thought of spending a little extra to pamper myself and try something new.
So, I went for a manicure & pedicure, and a nice traditional Thai massage. Both together set me back around MYR 200. I definitely felt good afterwards so, I think it was money well spent.
I was wandering around Gurney Plaza this year on Diwali day, after visiting about five temples. Having nothing to do and no where to go I decided to give myself a break and a treat.
First I headed to Nails Hansen - a nail salon in Gurney Plaza. What everyone should know by now is, I have never set foot in a nail salon in my entire life's existence. I don't know what they do or how they do it. And I didn't know either we have to set appointment before going into one. Well, I didn't.
So I walked in and fortunately for me, a customer missed her appointment and I had the slot available. I was ushered into the spa area and immediately two girls appeared - soaking my hand and feet into warm water and they went to work straight away. Five minutes later another girl appeared asking me to choose the colors I want for my nail... they had SO many! So after about 10 minutes or so I went for 2 shades, one shade for the feet the other for hand.
My leg was definitely in a terrible state. It was rough, peeling and my toenails were not really, ermm... clean? Well, thanks to years of abuse. So finally, my feet were scrubbed, polished, cleaned and they gleamed! I was really happy looking at the end result.
An hour later, I walked away feeling truly satisfied with my nails.
I then headed to Thai Odyssey, a traditional Thai massage center which is quite exclusive and nice - almost spa-like. I booked the traditional Thai massage and my, oh my! It was really rejuvenating after all the hard work the entire year!
So, these took some sadness away from my heart and planted some smile on my face!
