A Tai-Tai's Day Out

It has become a twice yearly ritual that my gal friends and I would take a day off just to give ourselves a well-deserved break, especially away from the kids.

We met for breakfast at Funan's MacDonalds. Yeah, it's slightly more high-class that the kopitiam, especially when the weather is so hot. So we had a groups of aunties (ok, excluding Nana) sipping teas, eating burgers and bitching about the weather, politics (at work), economics (at the supermarket), finance (where has got the best best sale) and of course of about the struggles within our families. Talking it out keeps our sanity in place.

After feeding our stomach, we adjorned to feed the fish. We shared a cab to the ulu Singapore Flyer, cos we haven't figure out where to take the shuttle service from City Hall. Boy, we were all so excited like little girls giggling about having our our feet kissed by the Doctor Fish.

The Kenko Reflexology at the Singapore Flyer is the only branch that provides fish spa. I find the ambience pretty soothing and the frangrance from the aromatic oil simply refreshing. It's just that the location is pretty far out.

It was rather scary imagining the feeling of having so many Doctor Fish nibbling the dead skin on my feet. However, it wasn't as ticklish as I thought, but it feels like the zaps of electric currents -- just like the milder tinkling sensation of blood flowing back to the legs when we experienced numbness for sitting cross-leg on the floor for too long.

We had 30 minutes of fish spa and 10 minutes of shoulder massage at the promotional rate of $38. And the newly mummies couldn't resist for a longer massage and they definitely deserved that. The excuse -- belated Mother's Day Treat for themselves. 10-minutes is more of a torture for me than shiok, I'm scared of tickles :P

Hehe... does Gina's new hairdo looks like one of the court ladies from the Korean drama - Da Chang Jin (Jewel in The Palace)? hahaha

And all that laughing and giggling is making us thirsty. And surely the water from the pond reminded our thirst even more. We later joined with the pregnant Angela at Suntec more makansutra and more sharing. Women simply talk non-stop and the few hours spent together always seems so short. And as the clock striked 4:30 pm, we hugged each other and said goodbyes (our gathering farewell routine) before returning back to reality. Farewell my ladies... till we meet again (which is probably in 3 weeks times, when Judy returns from China).
