Ramblings of a Sleep-Deprived Caffeine Addict

raped by a masseuse !@#

Sunday, December 21, 2008 @ 9:48 PM

Now don't get too ahead of yourself by the title!! Note that i used the word masseuse instead of masseur!

After a grueling hour of boxing at the gym last Friday, mom & i decided to visit all my relatives at Kota Kemuning (yes, ALL, all of them stay there, pretty convenient eh?). However, after meeting up with just one aunt, we ended up spending the whole day with her along with her 2 girlfriends at the new & trendy neighbourhood beauty square. The concept of Herbaline Beauty Square is, to encompass all things related to female pampering into an enclosed building. At this moment, it already has its beauty center where one can enjoy facial spas, fish reflexology treatments & body massage sessions. Also, there is a hair saloon, a nail art gallery, a yoga center & jap-style rooms for meditation purposes. The whole square was designed by an award-winning architect; every room, every area of the square is meticulously planned out to fit the square's concept as a beauty & relaxation center. The use of Zen decors is very eminent & one can find lush greenery almost everywhere. Artificial waterfalls, pebbles & bamboos added to the touch of the place. We girls went to the cafe in the square to have some foodies while chit-chatting. Albeit the fact that all 4 of them are 'aunties' & i was the only 'teen' there, i actually had quite an enjoyable time! We somehow managed to find some common topics to ramble about. After hearing about the massage center, mom & i decided to give it a try so we made an appointment for the very next day.

On the appointed day, i was having 2nd thoughts about the massage session. I agreed to give the facial spa a try but the massage was making feel a little queasy. However, mom practically barged me into it for she wanted me to accompany her. We were given a complimentary fish reflexology session so yes, i tried for the very 1st time, the infamous fish spa! The fishes were incredibly plump! Yes plump! Haha i never thought that i'd use that word to describe a fish but it's true. I guess dead human keratin is THAT nutritious. They were very VERY ticklish. Some even bit me up to my ankles! As you can imagine, i was giggling all the way through like a mad hatter whereas mum was surprisingly calm about it. (initially she was shrieking & gasping before dipping her legs into the pool)

Then, we were brought into another room where 2 pretty Myanmarese were waiting for us. OH, the way they treated & pampered us! Like princesses i swear!! We were told to strip everything off & clad on just a pair of disposable underwear. Then, we wrapped ourselves (clumsily) in a piece of beautiful sarong & lay on the beds waiting to be squeezed & kneaded. Just seconds after the massage session started, it dawned upon me that the sarong was meant to be just a blanket so the masseuse was gonna do it skin-to-skin on me!! Alrite, you'd probably say: 'err, how else did you imagine she'll do it?' But it really never occurred to me that i'll be THAT exposed!! So, honestly, the whole session was plain torture to me. Haha, i felt so violated & self-conscious that my whole body tensed up throughout the whole one & a half hours. Sighs, i walked out of the room feeling more stressed up.

After that, we were wrapped up again with the sarong, properly this time, by the masseuses (i learnt how to use a sarong!!) & were led to yet another room for the facial spa. It was even more agonizing than the massage!! At first, it was pretty relaxing, with the soothing aroma & the head massage deftly performed by the therapist. In fact, it was SOO relaxing, i felt like dozing off anytime, which is VERY TIRESOME FOR ME!!! You see, i cannot sleep in public! I just can't, especially with someone looking directly down at me!! So i had to struggle & fight off the urge to enter lalaland for one & a half hours. I was actually very relieved when we proceeded to the stage of squeezing all impurities (blackheads,pimples..) outta my face. I know that it's the most painful part of all facials but i actually don't mind the pain as it keeps me awake. (this should remind u that i'm a freakish psychoXD) I didn't really like the therapist's attitude. She was quite rough & negligent at the end of the treatment, as if she was impatient to bring the whole session to an end.

What a mess i was when i went outside to the reception area after changing back into my original attire. I was soo pale & tensed that my mom actually asked whether i fell down or something. Haha. Seriously, massages are not my thing. Its too....stressful. I'd prefer a strenuous workout at the gym & a few minutes at the sauna bath as a means to relax anytime. Until now i'm still a little stoned & shell-shocked from the experience while mom felt like she had the time of her life. Lol, apparently i'm too close-minded compared to mommie. I just do not like to be touched! Sheesh...now i feel like i have another 'issue' to deal with.

Anyways on our way to the cafe at the corner for lunch, we passed by the saloon. I was very interested to give it a try seeing that there were so many customers visiting it on that day & the day before when we were there with my aunt. So i went in to make an appointment. Mom was pretty enthusiastic too, for the wrong reasons however, the 2 male hair stylists were hands down gorgeous. Go figure. To my amazement, the saloon was fully booked until the 29th of dec so i had to settle with an appointment on the 30th. :(

With that, we returned to klang after a whole day of 'pampering & RELAXATION'. SHUDDERS~
