Hello JD: Day 2 Part 1, Toppen, Massage

Yes! There is a gym at the hotel! No! It will be opened only from 8am to 10pm. Who goes to the gym only at 8am and when bfast starts at 7am. Zzzzzzz... obviously the hotel is for people who don't exercise in the morning. 

Daddy Lim said that we should wake up at 7.15am. By the time we rolled around enough, it was 8ish and just nice for bfast. I got up bright and early and completed my morning kickboxing hit. 

It is buffet pick and choose bfast. Daddy Lim and the kids' favorite. 

I have 2 objectives for this trip. I want to cover my greys, do a hair treatment and enjoy a body massage. Nana was very aligned with my agenda. The boys found a skatepark on top of Toppen Mall. The plan was to drop Nana and I at the mall for the hair pampering session while they head to the skatepark. Yes, they brought their skating gear and it is so easy to just dump everything in the car boot. 

Toppen Mall is further north of Austin Heights. We should have just stayed in Austin Heights lah, not sure what went through my head to book Ramanda. At least it is a comfortable hotel. Fortunately, it was an easy drive. 

It is a new shopping mall. There must be some hair salon in the mall right? There are 2 but unfortunately understaffed, which is understandable for a Monday morning. We decided to walk to the Aron Mall beside, thinking that it is a bigger mall and a higher chance, right? No!!!! We are wrong again - no hair salon at all!

Nana and I were disappointed but switched quickly to mission 2 - shopping! It was mostly basic wear, we got T-shirts and shorts and Nana benefitted the most from the trip. 

The boys texted shortly bcos it started raining and they had to stop. 

They came to join us at Aeon, we had lunch, arcade and left for massage! Woohoo! 

I cannot get my hair done, I must at least get my massage. I googled and found a massage place nearby. 

Lol, there was a pot of pink flowers behind me, making me look like I had my hair in a pink towel. Hohoho. 

It was a thai massage place and we opted for the full body oil massage at RM95 each. After we made the payment, we were told to wait at a lobby area and in few mins, the 4 massues arrived from duno where. 

 I shared a room with Zaky with a curtain drawn while the rest had individual space. The massage was very "Thai". Lol. The massues were all using a lot of strength massaging us and at some parts, it was really painful. I thought it was only me bcos I think I heard Zaky fell asleep; his breathing was really deep and loud at some point and I was wondering how was it possible to fall asleep with such pain. Lol. It was only after the massage, when we were sharing experiences that I realised that I wasn't alone. We all ended up feeling sore after the massages. Lol. What exactly did we go through?! Still, no regards, my old bones really need some cracking.
