Hunny & Bunny

I had lots of credit points from Living Social and had to finish it. There are many restrictions too and since I can only use those credit points on service or food vouchers, I decided to spend it on spa and massages.

When I saw this deal for RM48, I bought it and when my husband heard, he wanted to come along too. I ended up buying 2 of these vouchers.

I tried to make an appointment for us to go together while the kids are in school but they are always full. Finally I got a slot about 3 weeks later. We weren't in a hurry and I had no choice so we agreed.

On the day of the appointment, we got there early. Thank god we did as we couldn't find the spa. We parked on the main road of Plaza Damas (opposite Innai) and was walking around for the spa but couldn't find it. Turns out, it is actually not on the main road. 

If you can see from the voucher, it says that the name of the spa is Reffinej Wellness. We walked around and couldn't find it. We see signboards and banners of their promotion but we couldn't find the same name. It was so weird.

Finally we went inside this spa called Hunny & Bunny beauty and greeted by 2 ladies. Turns out, they had a chance of management recently and changed their name to Hunny & Bunny. If only they told us when they called me the day before to reconfirm the appointment. 

Anyways, as you can see.. The package is for:

1. Full body massage with aromatherapy and hot stone

2. Tummy ginger therapy; OR

3. Body scrub

The lady asked us what treatment we wanted. I was confused. She told us that the body scrub is actually just back scrub. And if we didn't want it, they will just do the massage for longer. Whatever happened to tummy ginger therapy? I have no idea.

We were then escorted to the massage room upstairs. It was supposed to be a couple's room but we got single rooms. It doesn't matter to me but some might be more confortable having their husbands in the same room. 

My husband didn't want the hot stone massage and wanted the normal massage but I chose to have the hot stone massage. 

The first 20 minutes, both therapist was busy chatting with each other. I got a little bit annoyed as I prefer to enjoy my massage when it's quiet and also I think they can focus better when they're not chatting to one another. Our rooms was next to each other too, so they had to talk pretty loudly. Thank god they stopped talking after awhile and soon I started to enjoy my massage.

Overall, the massage was awesome. The pressure was good and consistent. I was enjoying it very much. The hot stone treatment was good too. My husband also enjoyed his massage very much. 

After our 2 hour massage, we were served with hot ginger tea which was amazingly delicious! 

It was definitely worth the try. We both loved the massage. They asked us to sign up for a package but we didn't because we weren't confident that the therapist would stay working there.

The lady who massaged my husband has been working there for 2 years and the other one just started working for 6 months. When asked about their new management, both didn't want to comment - which to me isn't a good sign! LOL.

Important thing to note is they don't accept male customer when they come on their own unless they already have a package with them. This is good I feel. 

Try their massage or buy the voucher from Living Social. It's worth it!

Massage at Home

It's been a while since I last updated this blog. Being a stay at home mom of a toddlers just stops me from doing what I enjoy most..which is spa hopping. Whenever I find time to go, I will still visit the usual spa I go to..this is because I want to make sure that my time away from my kids is worth it. Trying new spas can be a waste of time sometimes because you may not like what they have to offer. So to be on the safe side, since time isnt on my side..I just go to the spas I know will give me a good service. I guess from reading my blog, you will know which ones I go to normally.

Having said that...I still love being pampered and still need to have my regular massages.

So now, I pamper myself from home. 

What I do is, I found a regular Makcik to come over to the house for my massages. The pressure is very strong and it is a traditional Malay massage. It is really good. Her charges are RM100 per session and each session are about 1 hour to 1 half hour. Good thing is, I can have my massage at the comfort of my own home. My kids can come and go and I don't have to be out, in the car, in traffic to get my "me" time. Negative part of it is, I'm not alone. My kids will come running into the room. Sometimes screaming, sometimes crying. But whatever it is, I still get a good massage to rejuvenate. And I do feel good after each massage. That's the most important thing.

I also have another person coming to the house to do reflexology or foot massage. This guy is very experienced and charges RM80 per hour. I've been going to him for years when he operated in Seri petaling. But he has left the place and now does house calls. My husband enjoys this as well. 

Pampering from home is so good! 

Massage during Pregnancy

OK..I know a lot of people have different views about this. Some say it's good to still 'pamper' urself with a massage during pregnancy while other feel you shouldnt cuz it might harm the baby.

Honestly speaking, I DONT KNOW the answer. I dont know if it is safe or not. Scary isnt it? Especially for someone who is a spa addict. Imagine not having a massage for the whole 9 months..and on top of that, the first few weeks after labour. That's like almost 10 months...almost a whole freaking year. And once you have the baby, when do u actually have time to go for massages anyway???
So basically, your life is over.
At least that's how I feel.

For the first few months of my pregnancy, I was really itching for a massage. Really really itching for it.I kept asking hubby when can we go for massage, when can we go for reflexology, bla bla bla.
This being our first pregnancy and it's not even easy to get pregnant (tried for almost 6 months before getting pregnant), we of course didnt want to do anything stupid. Especially since the rate for miscarriage in the first trimester is quite high.

People say, wait till the first trimester is over....then u can explore, if it's ok to go for a massage.
As soon as I entered 2nd trimester, I asked my doctor and she gave me a green light. In fact, she said it's good to go for a massage cuz she knows being pregnant can make u feel extra tired etc, so massage is a good way to relax. Clearly, I chose the right dr. Love her! :)

Ozmosis Spa in Telawi Bangsar (above La Bodega) have really good pregnancy massage. A bit mahal but I think quite worth it. But the massage is only for 45 mins... Not enough for me. I need at least an hour.

Recently, since receiving the OK for my doc, I've been going for my regular massage at Khareyana Spa in PJ. They're good and price is reasonable too. The normal price for a massage is about RM160 if I'm not mistaken for one half hour but if you sign up for the package, it's only RM520 for 4 sessions, which comes to only about RM130 per massage for one half hour. BARGAIN!!!!

There are only 2 therapist that does pregnancy massage in Khareyana. Pauline and Novi. Both are well trained and both are good. But they'll only take you in at 3 months onwards...

I still dont know if it's safe or not. Fingers crossed it is. I know Im taking a huge risk here but mummy needs her massage in order to carry the little one better. :)
InsyaAllah, it's ok.

Pls make sure you inform the spa in advance that you are pregnant when you make the appointment.
You need to make sure they're aware that you are pregnant so that they know where not to massage (i.e stomach area etc). I also found out that certain traditional lulur (scrub) is also not safe for the baby because of the ingredient, they're a bit 'sharp' so even if you're going for a massage, you need to inform them that you are pregnant.

Health Land, Bangkok

Someone recommended for me to check out this place so I decided to give it a go. As soon as I arrived, I was impressed because A: The carpark outsite the building is packed and full. B: Because the place is pretty huge and C: Because the building looks very nice, reminded me of Carcosa. I knew this was going to be an experience to remember.

As soon as I walked in, I saw so many locals (guests) waiting and sitting at the reception. I didnt know whether they were waiting for their turn or what but all the seats were taken. I walked to the reception and was greeted by this lady, who wore business like outfit in black. She was not friendly at all.

I didnt know what they had there and when I asked the lady, she just pointed to the counter with the spa menu on it. She didnt bother to explain what each were or what..unlike the other spas I've been to where they normally explain what is good and what is not bla bla bla. I was quite pissed off but then I looked at the menu anyway and decided to go for the Aromatherapy Body Massage & Thai Herbal Compress for 2 hours at approximately RM150. The price is ok if you compare it with the price we pay in KL for a massage but for Bangkok standard, I think the price is a bit on the high side.

The place is pretty huge and quite nice overall. The massage was really good actually. The pressure and technique was just nice. I also enjoyed the Thai Herbal Compress which was my first time experience. I really did feel good after the whole 2 hours. I'm glad I found this place. I definitely will come back despite my not so great experience at the reception. Maybe she was just busy!

Neglect?

I admit I've been neglecting this blog - I've not been to any new spas lately, which is pissing me off cuz I never have the time to go anymore.

This is bad. I must go and do some pampering soon.

Although it's been rather quiet on this blog, I must say that I still do some maintenance work.
What's that?

Maintenance work involves:

- weekly (at least once a week) reflexology at either Sifu in Bangsar, Sri Petaling place or the place in Sg.Wang
- 2wice a month facial at Dermalogica, BSC
- Back massage at Sam Reflexology

the above is compulsory. It's not me if I dont do the above. So, there you go, it's not that I've been neglecting this or havent been pampering myself - I have..but it's at my usual place so there's not much to blog about.
Obviously they're all good that's why I go there on a regular basis.

I need to find out more spas to go to in KL....

I'll be in Bangkok again this weekend (for fun) and I will make sure I try few new places..

Spa Village Tanjong Jara

I was a bit more excited to check out this spa because of its tagline "unmistakably malay". I've always wanted to try malay traditional spa because almost every spa I've gone to is either Balinese or thai type of spa. How come we dont have many Malay/Malaysian type spa?

Anyways...

My package for this trip includes a 50 minutes massage and a snorkeling trip but due to the rain, we were unable to go for the snorkeling and so, they compensated by giving us an additional 150 minutes in the spa. Wow. That's 200 minutes of spa.

1st day I tried the 50 minutes massage. It was a malay traditional massage. The pressure was perfect and the technique was good too. I was in heaven and enjoying it a lot.
Before the massage, I was given a cold herbal type of drink. It tasted like jamu of some sort and it was ok, quite nice. Different from the ginger tea that we always get at almost every spa.

After the drink, it was the mandi bunga or floral bath. That was interesting and a bit funny.
You basically just sit there and they shower you while saying stuff like "happiness to you.....beauty to you..." I wanted to laugh. But the flowers and lime smell was very strong and nice that I decided to go for the bath again the next day.

I love this spa the most out of all the YTL spa village, even pangkor laut. I prefer this one.

I'd come back just for the massage

Spa Village, Pangkor Laut Resort

I went for my 1st honeymoon to Pangkor Laut Resort and it would be a crime if I didn’t pamper myself at the spa.

The spa is gorgeous. It’s huge and I love the décor. Kind of makes you feel like you’re in Bali or something. When I arrived, I was greeted by a friendly lady at the reception. She offered me this interesting lemongrass plus orange drink and a cold towel.
I opted to try the massage first. They have so many different types of massage but the Lomi Lomi massage caught my attention. I’ve always wanted to try that.


But before all that, I was given a foot bath. It was alright, nothing great. But still, it was quite nice.

Then, I was escorted to the changing room. I was given a sarong to change to. The massage was 50 minutes but I was told to come 45 minutes earlier to spend some time at the spa to enjoy the “Bath Experience”.

1. Wishing well. I was given 1cent to throw into the well and was told to make a wish. “I hope your wish will come true” she said… it was as if she had a script to read to each client.
2. Next was the “Malay Bath” experience. Hmm…I don’t know what is so malay about the bath but it was basically this pool and I was asked to walk across from one end to another. Nothing much. The pool was nice tho….but I didn’t understand the concept.
3. Japanese bath house. Nothing much here as well. I was asked to sit on the stool and was given a shower gel so I spent like 3 minutes in there before moving on to the warm Japanese pool.
4. This was ok. Quite nice because the water was nice and warm. It was outdoor as well and I was all alone. It was quiet and I could only hear the sound of birds and the wind. I was there for about 5 minutes.
5. Then comes the scrub. It wasn’t a proper scrub. The therapist only scrub my back. Not that nice
6. Finally was the massage. Massage was ok. It was interesting but I’m not sure if I like it that much.

Overall, it was a good experience. Since I didn’t particularly love the massage, I decided not to go and enjoy other treatment offered by the spa. It was very expensive and I’m not too convinced that I’ll have a good time. I decided to go back to KL and enjoy a full on spa, cheaper than Pangkor Laut price but nicer. To me, this was ok but kind of like what I experienced in Cameron Highlands. Spa is overrated and overpriced but the treatment was not all that good. The environment was nice tho. Very relaxing. The spa is huge and beautiful…but the treatment….well, I personally think it’s not worth the price.
My massage was 50 minute and it was RM300++

Morino Kaze

I walk past this place called Morino Kaze in Bangsar Telawi quite a lot but never got the chance to check it out. Today was the day.

I decided to walk in to try something.. I didnt know what to try but when I saw the promotion that says they have a Chinese New Year promotion, RM28 for 30 minutes back massage, I think it would be silly not to try. Dont you think so?

I was greeted by this guy, must be one of the workers there and he spoke very little English. I couldnt guess his accent, whether it was Japanese or Chinese. Anyhow, I walked in and asked for a 30 minutes back massage.

I was told to take off my shoes and wait inside. The lady in front said she will take care of my shoes i.e keep it in the cabinet or wherever but then, she just left it there! What if someone steals them or something... ?

I waited for awhile for my therapist to be ready so I went to the washroom first. When I got out of the toilet, this malay looking lady guided me to my room. She didnt say a word but just she left me in there. I didnt know what the hell I was suppose to do. Lie down? Change? or what? I wanted to change but I didnt see anything to change to, and since the lady in front told me that they wont be using any oil, I thought maybe I dont have to change. The malay looking lady left me there for quite some time and then I started thinking, perhaps I am supposed to change?~

And then she came in and was quite surprised that I still had my clothes on. Well duh!! She didnt tell me that I had to change pun!
Then I asked her if I have to take off my top, to which she said yes. OK fine, so I did. She also asked me to take off my pants and I said I dont want to. I mean, what the hell for since it's only a back massage. Then she said she needs to put oil so my pants might get dirty. Hang on, didnt the lady say no oil? I said I dont want her to use oil so I didnt need to take off my pants. Not that I mind but just malas.

The massage was quite good actually. She started the massage with "Bismillahirohmanirahim". So ok, she must be muslim then.
The pressure was good, very strong pressure just like how I like it. I must say that I was really happy with the massage although I think it she had used oil it would have been better. And better if it was a full body massage instead of just a back massage.

After the massage, I asked her for her name. I asked her in English and her reply was "Indonesia". So obviously this girl doesnt understand English.
In the end she said "Sulastri 44" ok. I guess that's her name and her code number or whatever.

For RM28 it's damn bloody worth it.

They offer all sorts of massage there include foot massage, ear candling and also fish theraphy although it doesnt look so exciting. The place is ok, nothing too fancy. It's clean and simple, which is good.

From the outside, it does look a bit like a Japanese type of spa but I dont think it is as I dont see any Japanese style of treatment on the menu book. I guess it's the same as any other or the spa next door to it. But I think I will come back to try the full body massage with miss 44!

Energised @ Energy Day Spa Mont Kiara

I desperately wanted to try a spa in Jakarta but the schedule of my trip was too packed that we didn’t have time for a pampering session. Both my mum and I planned to go to a spa there (we even found the ‘area’ where the good spas are at) but unfortunately, we were too busy shopping that we just couldn’t fit it in our tight schedule. Well, perhaps next time.

So when I came back the first thing on my mind was to spend some time at the spa.
I decided to go back to Energy Day Spa in Mont Kiara. I consider myself a regular there cuz I’ve been there more than 3 times now within 6 months. I really love it there.

I called to make an appointment for a full body spa but unfortunately, their steam room and bath is not working so they can only do body scrub and massage. That’s fine, better than nothing, right?

The body scrub was really good. Sea salt scrub and my body feels silky smooth after the scrub. The body massage was also really good. I was really tired and I fell asleep. By the time I got up from the sleep it was almost over. I wish they do 2 hours or 3 hours massage, that would have been fantastic!

I went for the massage on Tuesday and it’s Thursday today. I already feel like going back for another round of massage. I love the place, it's really cozy and the view is nice overlooking the pool of the apartment next to the spa.
Joe prefers the Ampang branch. Well, it's bigger there and also nice there with nice view but I personally feel that the therapist in Mont Kiara is better.

Anyways,
I’m addicted to this. I want a job doing this everyday. That would be perfect..

After spa, we had dinner at the restaurant downstairs called Bijou. I love the food there so much. Be sure to try the grilled prawns starter and also try their Seabass. It’s really to die for…

I love this…

Escentials Urban Retreat, Starhill

I badly need a massage and since I had to pick up something from Starhill, I decided to go for a massage in Starhill. Might as well right?

I didnt know which spa to go to in Starhill and after walking around, I decided to give ....... a go.

They had a special promotion going on until end of this month if you use the Ambank Platinum/Gold credit card. Fantastic.

The massage was one half hour and costs RM288 but with the special promotion, you buy one, you get one free. So basically it was half price :)

The place is amazing. I love the colour and the decor of the spa. Very posh and very elegant. It was bloody freezing in there tho.
The room was nice too.

First we were given a form to fill up. They need to know if you have any special needs/requirements or if you have any illness that they should know etc.
We were also given a hot towel and fruit tea before we start our treatment.

Then we were directed to our room and given disposable underwear and a set of kimono to change. Once we got changed, we were told you lie on the bed facing down and then the treatment started. I think the bed was somewhat heated cuz it felt really nice and warm and so comfortable.

My therapist was good too. Pressure was excellent and technique was superb. I didnt want it to end. It was a combination of pressure point massage and relaxation massage. I was in heaven.

It was a good deal for the price we paid. I wanna go back again to try something else. To me, this was definitely a good experience but only thing was, it was too short. One and half hours massage is not long enough for me. They didnt spend that much time on my back, which was a pity cuz it was soo good that I wish it was longer!

I really cant wait to go back.

If you are interested, pls call for appointment.
My therapist's name is Aminah. She is good and I highly recommend her...
Joe's therapist name is Carynn. He said she's excellent too.

Scrub & Massage

I took a package at Khareya for the massage and I'm left with another session there. I love the massage the cuz they're really good.

I made an appointment and asked for the same girl to massage me, her name is Novi.
I remember her name cuz I had a good friend in University from Jakarta with that name.
So anyways, this time, instead of just going for a massage, I decided to go for a body scrub as well.

The lady at the spa told me that they have a new range now. Apart from the usual products they also have this new range of Dewi Sri Spa products. She told me to pick which scrub I want. The smell were all very fruity and nice and yummy. I couldnt decide. It was all lovely.

In the end, I picked the tea tree or something like that. Lovely.

Scrub was good as usual and massage was fantastic.
I asked Novi for stronger pressure massage and it was sooooooooo nice. Very strong, just like how I like it. At times, it was a bit too strong that I didnt get to sleep but still, I loved it.

I love Khareyana Spa. I want a spa like that so I can be there 24/7
:)

Massage at Home

My friend recommended me to this kakak sometime last year. Her name is Kak Ilah and she's pretty good.
She does traditional massage, manicure & pedicure, facial and scrub as well at the comfort of your own home.

If you need a massage but cant be bothered to go to the spa, you can give her a call. She does house calls for just RM50 per hour. She goes as far as Shah Alam.

I've recommended her to some of my friends and they seem to agree that she's good.
Only thing is, she talks alot so dont start being too friendly. I normally prefer to go to a spa because I can get my body scrub and all done there at the same time and be out of the house but whenever I need a massage at home, this is the lady I would call.

Try her...

Sifu Reflexology

I just had one of the best foot massages ever and cant wait to share the experience.

Normally I go to Sri Petaling for reflexology but once in a while, I do go to other places as well. The reflexology in Sri Petaling is nice because it relaxes me and the technique they use is not the painful kinda reflexology. It wont make me jump out of the seat kinda thing but sometimes, I like the painful foot massage cuz it makes me feel really relaxed after the session. I actually like the pain to be honest.

So anyways, each time I decide to go for the slightly more painful type of foot massage, I’ll go to Sifu in Bangsar Telawi. It is situated right next to T Club, which is next to Starbucks.

In Sri Petaling reflexology, they would normally force you to drink a glass of water for each feet. They first massage the left, then the right and then go back to the left and then the right. Approximately spend about 15 minutes each side. So that’s like 4 glasses of water. They will bug you until you drink that water. Since it’s puasa and I cant drink that 4 glasses of water for every 1 hour session of foot massage, I decided to go to Bangsar instead. This place, they don’t force you to drink at all…

Last night I went there at 12.00am and boy it was one helluva good foot massage.
I don’t know what techniques they use but it reminds me of my favourite reflexology place in Bali. All the workers in Sifu are from Sabah.

You should try it…it’s really good!

I’ve been here many times and they’re good.
If you happen to be around that area in Telawi you should give it a go.
They also do body massage and all sorts of other stuff which I have to try soon!

Ask for Jim, Henry or Hassan to give you a good foot massage. Trust me, it’s worth it.

Beijing Natural Health Care

My back was aching, which shows that I've been working too hard. I am starting to feel tired (and lazy) and I need a massage!

Since I was in high school, I've been having this back/shoulder pain everytime I spend too long on the computer. It comes and go but whenever I spend too long in front of the computer, it is a sign that I've been working too hard and therefore deserves some pampering.

I decided to go for a massage but this time, I didnt want those relaxation oil massage. I wanted to go for those pressure point massage. I know a place that does that.... so I head to Beijing Natural Health Care in Taman Tun yesterday. This place is always full and since it was a public holiday and all, on the way there, I was really hoping that they're not. I was desperate for a massage.

Luckily it was empty.

I went for an hour of full body massage. I've been here for a massage about 3 times now.

1st experience was a total nightmare. The masseuse was a lady from China and she couldnt speak a word of English or Malay. I obviously dont understand a word of Chinese. She was this tiny lady but very strong. I kept screaming "Ouch!!!!!" throughout the whole massage and she kept increasing the pressure. I swear never to go back but I went back again the second time. I probably didnt know where else to go for a massage at that time.

2nd experience was a total bliss. This time a Sabahan guy massaged me. I know it is pretty weird but I was fully dressed and all...and tried not to think about it too much. It was all done professionally, no dodgy stuff. It was really good. I think my back was healed totally.

3rd experience yesterday was good too. Surprisingly it was with that same lady from China. My back was hurting so much that I didnt care if it was going to be painful.
But it turned out to be good. She now speaks a bit of English and Malay. She understood the word "Sakit" this time.

My back feels lighter now and much better.

Everyone there dont speak much English and Malay. Just basic words so be prepared. Sometimes it can be a little frustrating trying to explain to them what you want.

An hour body massage (no oil) is about RM60+
They also do reflexology there and they're pretty good. A bit painful but quite nice.
For every 10 treatment you get free 1. Make sure you ask for the loyalty card for them to stamp for each of your visit there to claim for the free treatment.

They're located on the same row as Muhibbah restaurant in Taman Tun.

Spas I've tried

I've been to quite a few spas already. I still feel like trying others but I'm running out of places to go. Places worth trying.

Since I started exploring this amazing spa journey, Im proud to say that I've gone to a few...

1. Khareyana Spa - One of the best places to go. It's a nice spa and the service is good too.

2. Jentayu Spa. This spa is pretty good actually. The treatment was quite alright and the price was reasonable too. Overall it was ok, just that the outdoor area wasnt properly managed. They should beautify the area a bit more.

3. Nexus Karambunai, Sabah
I enjoyed myself in Nexus. The place was beautiful and the spa was quite nice too. I only went for a massage but still got the chance to hang out in the spa.

4. Sembunyi Spa, Cyberview Lodge
I think this is quite a good spa but I didnt have that good of an experience there. But still, I'd go back there for another try.

5. Cameron Highlands Resort Spa
Now this was pretty bad. Spa was beautiful but the treatment, especially the massage was a disaster. Never going back there again.

6. Energy Day SpaThis is my favourite out of all spas I've tried. I love it there. It's nice and cozy and loved the massage and loved the scrub. I cant wait to go back there.

7. Vila Manja
Quite a good spa. I quite like it there.

8. Ozmosis Spa
I'd go back there again. I love the ginger tea. Very nice. Oh, and the treatment was good too! :)

9. Spa Indrani
Not one of my favourite. Didnt like it there although the spa is quite nice.
Dont think I'll be going back there anytime soon.

Wow...almost 10 spas..not bad!
I'm very proud of myself
I can do this full time, anytime

Thai Odyssey

My office is now in One Utama. We moved office in May and everyone is so happy to be so close to One Utama. More places to eat compared to our old office and no more parking issues. I’m just happy that I found a place to have a quick massage over lunch!

I was walking in One Utama one day during lunch and found this place called Thai Odyssey. I love the smell from outside and since my back is aching, I thought it might me a good idea to go for a back massage. Plus, I’ve never had a Thai Massage before.

I decided to go for the 30 minutes back massage.

The place is rather small and compact so there’s no way all their employees could stay in there all at the same time. They called for the masseuse to come and she came after 5 minutes, from god knows where!

I was told to sit on this lazy chair and first she massaged my head and neck. It felt good.
Then she told me to sit on the stool and she started doing her ‘thang’. She was swinging me around and getting me to do all sorts of stretching. It was weird but it felt good.
I was loving it.

30 minutes back massage cost RM40.00. Was it worth it? Hmm… I’m not too sure. It felt good at the time but I was still having back aches and didn’t feel good after the massage.
The place was a bit too small and I wasn’t all that comfortable.

But knowing me, I’d come back again for a quick massage over lunch!

Stress Relief

I was in Petronas Twin Towers at my client’s office till 5.40pm on Friday. When my boyfriend arrived to pick me up it was already 6pm and there was a massive jam everywhere. It was almost impossible to get out of town.

It took us half and hour just to get from KLCC to Jalan Tun Razak. I was already feeling a bit dizzy after seeing cars everywhere at every corner of town. Since we were nearby Jalan Damai, we decided to pop by Vila Manja for a massage.

We went in for an hour massage and by the time we finish, there was still traffic! Glad we spent an hour at Vila Manja rather than in the car.

I didn’t quite enjoy the massage this time around. I asked for strong pressure but the girl was a junior and the pressure was too light for my liking. But nonetheless, it was ok.

RM158 for an hour massage.

The environment there is very relaxing. I’d still go back there!
