Rest & More Rest!

Last Saturday was rest and relax day - Fat Boy and I met up with Sworn Sista and her hubby, Stephen, at her place before we went to Wellness Village at Pan Pacific Hotel for a good body scrub and massage! There was a long list of body scrubs (Ginger, Ginseng, Coffee, Chocolate, Rose Petals, Lavender) and massages (Shiatsu, Aromatheraphy, Tui Na, Swedish, Indonesian) to choose from. I had Ginseng body scrub and aromatheraphy : D It had been a long time since my muscles had a good rub and I totally enjoyed the 120 minute session : )

As the boys were hungry, we proceeded to Kiliney Kopitiam at Marina Square to have a bite before strolling around. Sworn Sista suggested going to the ice cream buffet at Swenson's in Ion Orchard as Stephen wanted to try. I didn't like the idea of stuffing myself with sugary carbs (Felt so damn terrible the other time I went), but arghhh...I relented : / This time round, I had only 3 scoops of ice cream with chopped banana and almond flakes (Enough is enough - I was actually craving for savoury stuff) Fat Boy, Sworn Sista and Stephen gorged themselves with ice cream and toppings and seriously, it was bad. Argh.

Before we sent them home, I went to NTUC supermart to purchase a box of salmon gunkan (I guess that is more suitable for dinner to me) Met up with the SPI guys at Kallang MacDonald's to discuss about the plans for the upcoming Kuala Lumpur trip in December before we finally head home : ) (Yeah, we are going to Kuala Lumpur for food and shopping on 24 December!)

We spent the whole of Sunday at home. Even dinner was KFC delivery : P Guess we were simply too lazy to move a single muscle. Hehe...

I accompanied Sworn Sista to London Weight Management for a free consultation-cum-trial on Monday evening. It felt terrible when the consultant pinpointed the problematic jiggly areas and after the hour and a half consultation, we were put into a sauna room where our toxins and water (Yes! Water) were purged. As if it was not enough, we were wrapped by a hot blanket and I tell you, I was nearly suffocated by the intense heat. I swear my heels were crying out in pain! However, I felt refreshed after the trial treatment and the best part was, I lost 800g of water and 8.5cm of flesh/fats. To take up or not to take up the package for 535 bucks? Hmmm...

As for yesterday, both Fat Boy and I went to have dinner at one of the hawker centres in Johor Bahru. We had chilli crab, stir-fried kale as well as fried shrimp paste chicken. The bill amounted to RM95, which was about 40 bucks in Singapore dollars (Cheap!) We strolled around Jusco Tebrau and had drinks at Tang Shifu , a small eatery which specializes in herbal dishes : ) I had a pot of tea which was said to encourage detoxification and fat-burning (True enough, the tea did its magic this morning). Fat Boy had Gui Ling Gao jelly with mochi : ) I was thinking of having dinner at this herbal eatery tomorrow! I am attracted by the herbal black chicken soup ; D~~
