Me Not Tai-Tai!

I'm not as much of a tai-tai as I thought I'd be. Rather startled yet pleased by the revelation.

Just had a full day spa session as my birthday present this year. Joe got us a couples spa package.

I loved the treatments - massage and mani & pedi - but the rest of the time was spent sitting in a lounge, reading magazines or watching movies. While dressed in a strange green bathrobe that made all the spa-goers look like POWs.

I was cold, and slightly bored, and trying to avoid secondary smoke.

Was this what people did in spas???? Suddenly, my imaginings of the hedonistic, luxurious spa lifestyle was obliterated by stark reality. Man, these regular spa-goers have no life!

There are a million other things I could have done at home. If I was home, I'd have my own reading materials, DVDs, music, PC, pao-paos, etc. Without the strange green bathrobe and POW underclothes and dodging secondary smoke and freezing air conditioning. Granted, I wouldn't have a buffet spread, but I can always raid my fridge.

Anyhow, it was a good experience. But next time, I'm going for the RM40 Thai massage in a first-floor shoplot.
