the time when i just relaxed

i may be traveling here and there but you see i've always been restless. im actually more exhausted when im on vacation because i always try to make the most out of my time out that i just schedule 10 activities in a day. i rise up early to take sunrise and i sleep late.

but yesterday was different. i went to shenzhen with 3 friends and we just made it our ME DAY. we were originally planning on doing go kart and happy valley sightseeing then a massage to cap the day. but it was raining that we ended up on the spa the whole day.

we started with the nice chinese lunch and then had our body scrubbed. it's as what you imagined it to be. you hire someone to scrub all your body. the lady did not miss any part except for my genitalia and my scalp. and scrub she did. i use sponge or loofah whenever i take a bath but i was surprised to see so much dead skin cells out of my body it's embarrassing!

then we headed out for a nice chinese style massage. it's a good 90minute session that you would really feel that your blood circulation has improved. it's one of the best feelings in the world having your muscles soothed like that.

last is the ear cleaning session. just when you thought you've done a good job with your cotton buds, ear cleaning shall change that. it's a bit eekie having something sharp go through your inner ear like that but you'd really feel the difference.

we spent 7-8 hours in the spa. we did all of these plus a couple of billiard game. in the end we ended up buying a few oil paintings in shenzhen before heading for a late dinner. those should make a good BS.

we spent quite a fortune but considering that it's our way of thanking our body for all the hardwork, it was well worth it. it's equivalent to an expensive night out.. only this time without hangover! i love spas! woopee!
