Today at lunch time, me and Nina went to the Jungle Fish spa at The Mall. This shop is like the cheaper spin-off version of Kenko Fish Spa, all the rage now in the Pavillion. It cost us about RM28 each for a half an hour session. So we sat down at the pond, pull our sarong till up on the knees and gingerly dipped our feet in the pond. OH MY GOD! So damn geli, ok!!! Nina was screaming, "This is the last time that I will go to the fish spa!". Twice. Hehe....
Seriously, it felt like your feet was being electrocuted by hundreds of small fish, sucking at your toes and foot and calf, only that it didn't hurt. Ticklish is more like it. Nina said it was the blood circulating. If you guys ever had the foot messager with the infra-red thingy, it also felt like that. Only your feet is in the water. 10 minutes or so, we began to relax our feet. I began to really look at the small fishes. They're called the Garra Rufa. They only eat your dead cells, and leaving your healthy skin, that's why they are also called the Doctor Fish. The Garra Rufas are small, like ikan tamban, and eagerly gnaw at your skin. My feet felt smooth and tingly after the treatment.
The only sad thing was, two little Garra Rufas died during the session. Maybe they overeat my dead skin cells or something. Oh well, the hazards of working in that environment....hehe
Next project: ear candling treatment.

hey nuwal...aku pernah pergi ariya.but its not to any fancy fish spa whatsoever, just that kolam in the middle of the shopping mall n lil fishies. Nang gelik kan masa memula.Aku punyalah gelik..menjerit2 masa memula ya..but..as resultnya sangat bagus..i've been thinking of going back.
er, i leave all the foot treatment with my masseuse, who does it for free.the perks of befriending one ^_^ my next treatment is ear candling treatment, or as Denise the Masseuse puts it 'reiki'.i may have less sneezing spells but the blockage in my sinus is causing me to snore like a Yeti, and frequent nosebleeds (due to dry air) and snorting.point is, any service requiring somebody to pamper me is soooooooo much appreciated.
time toklah berangan jadi tai-tai.have you watch DUMPLINGS?
Noreez: First experience was geli, now dah ok...maybe go for another session hehe
La Signora: You lucky you! Not everyone befriends a massesus and get free treatments! I been having bad coughing spells and yesterday my nose bled. Can ear candling loosen my nostrils from phlegm? Haven't watch Dumplings. Yesterday almost bought The Kitchen God's Wife by Amy Tan - sik cukup duit pulak coz bought Nuyun a birthday present...
