JB Short Break Day 2

I paid the gym a visit the day before. I think we stayed in this condo previously bcos the gym looks familiar. There was no card/ lock/ access system, but simply to record one’s access by pen and book. I think the gym opens at 7am bcos the earliest visits were at 7ish. 

Nana was happy to join me at the gym and I was glad to have companion. We were at the gym at 7am. We had the gym all to ourselves.

We did a hiit with some weights. Nana got bored and went for the machines at the 20ish min mark. I stopped at the 30th min. We spent about 40 mins at the gym and headed back. Zaky was still in lala land. 

I realised that I could get network if I were to stand at the balcony and extend my phone outside of the balcony. At least I could feed the cats, but worried that my phone dropping 21 floors down. View from the balcony.

It was time for bfast. I remembered that there were some eating places on the other side of KSL mall. We took a walk and found a crowded kopitiam. The food must be good, right? 

We managed to find a space and ordered a few dishes to share - fried kwaytiao, wanton mee and yong tau foo. We were too eager and only remembered to take a picture when all the food were gone. They were good! 

On the way back, we saw durians again. Ya, Daddy Lim and Nana had durians for post bfast.

Bcos the wifi was so bad, we figured that we would be happier if we checked out early and go to the KSL mall to enjoy the connectivity. 

When we arrived at the mall, we suddenly realised that we had so many things that we wanted to do. We 1st left Zaky at a hair salon, which was offering a hair spa at MYR 128. Go! 

Right next door, I wanted to do my nails and colored my grey. They can do both at the same time and save me some time. Daddy Lim got his eyebrow trimmed and Nana went for her lashes perming. Ya, it was a one-stop shop. We literally got everything done at the “same” shop. Ok, Nana had to go to their “affiliated” shop 2 doors down. 

Daddy Lim was the 1st to be done but bcos it was a Wednesday morning, there was no crowd and we could linger and wait. Zaky was done with his hair spa. I think it is more of a massage and pampering session than hair treatment. My self care - it had been years since I did my nails. I have never done gel nails before. I intentionally kept my nails for weeks for this. Such a nice blue. 

I can 甩头 again. 

Nana took the longest. I went to peek at her and was told that she went to the toilet in her half blind state. Not long after, she sent us a help call. She went to the toilet, got lost while trying to come back bcos she can’t really see. I saved her. Haha.

She had another 30 mins to go after the adventure. The beautician said that eyelashes perming is just like hair perming but with a weaker chemical. See, more obvious now! I hope the perm stays for a while and makes it worth the time and $$.

The kids had been bugging for facial in Singapore and we sent them for one. They didn’t have time for lunch. Daddy Lim and I went for what was supposed to be a “light lunch”. 

The kids’ facial took about 1.5 hr. They came out of the salon with red and puffy face. We went to a Japanese restaurant for lunch and Daddy Lim had a 2nd lunch. Haha. 

The entire few hours were really used for self care and we spent quite a lot but considered a fraction if we had done all these in Singapore. #happy
