Work, YogaZone, Kenko Fish Spa

Good riddance!

Late Friday evening, 62 boxes of paperwork were sent out for archiving.

Finally, after months of anguish, tears, blood and sweat, the work on the vomit-inducing project is over. At times, I really thought it would never end. I hope to God I won't need to see any of the documents ever again!

On Saturday morning, I decided I really needed to get my yoga fix after denying myself the whole week. Imagine my horror when I saw the whole front of the centre splattered in bright red paint! Apparently, this is the 2nd time this has happened.

I thought this kind of thing only happened in movies. Check out the loan shark poster pasted on the tree. How ironic.

Though I knew it wasn't blood, it still felt as if it was the scene of a brutal murder. :( I hope the management/finance problem at YogaZone is sorted out soon and classes can return to normal scheduling with no more unpleasant surprises such as this for us members. Yoga is afterall supposed to calm the mind, body and soul not induce nightmares!

After the stress and unpleasant surprise(s) of the week, I decided that a reward was overdue and proceeded to allow fish to nibble at my feet on Saturday evening.

Haha. I finally tried out Kenko Fish Spa at Pavillion (5th Floor near GSC) after reading so much about it in the newspaper and in many blogs.

My opinion? It's very ticklish at first (I'm a pretty ticklish person to begin with) and I couldn't stop giggling when I first submerged my feet in the pool. But after a while, it feels like you have pins and needles. I wasn't brave enough to try the pool with the really big fish though (about 8-10 cm in length) and stuck with the pool where the fish were the tinniest (about 1.5-2 cm). My friend was braver though, and he said the sensation with the bigger fish felt like sandpaper rubbing against your skin.

The results? Well, honestly, I didn't really feel any difference in the smoothness of my calves and as for the soles of my feet, I've had more noticeable results from pedicures. That being said, I would probably go again, if just for the novelty and fun of it.

agnes: Thanks for dropping by. Glad to hear you love my country. Saw some beautiful photos you took during your trip in KL on your blog.

Janvier: I can't miss my classes, so I guess I'll just have to cross my fingers and pray hard!

Savante: Did you just happened to be in the area? Some friends actually requested me to bring them to see the work of the loan sharks in person. Pretty funny, I thought. :)
