Pack my suitcase with the things I'll need for my little weekend getaway!
These days, we all have become so stressed and so goal oriented that it can be quite hard to actually relax and unwind. Most of us have our to do list that actually built into our brains, which got us SO stressed out just to ensure that we follow each and every thing that is on the list, that sometimes could lead us to eating disorders, lack of sleep, pimples started popping out like nobody's business, and so on and so forth! :( For some people, life can be really hard sometimes.. We programmed ourselves so well to meet our goals, our deadlines and our responsibilities that we have forgotten how to relax and unwind! Some may say that they don't know how to relax... Well, simple things like taking a deep breath...or walking around the park can really make you feel at ease and less tense! Or better yet...maybe you can go for a vacation with your loved ones! That'll do the trick...but of course, you gotta leave all your work laptop, Blackberrys, iPads, etc etc, and just enjoy your time there! ^___^
Anyway...so that weekend we went to The Philea Resort & Spa...
The place was impressive! For a moment there, I thought I was not in Malaysia, but at some cold countries instead! hehe.. The place is really unlike any other resort that I have stayed in our country... It's SO cozy and so nice! The logs made me feel like I was at a ski resort in the Alaska or something! haha.. But of course, there's no white thing called snow surrounded the area....but instead, some beautiful greens! - Which made the place even more breathtaking....Perfect to unwind and relax! ;)
With my buddies, Ivy and Jessica
After checking in, I took a rest in their beautiful room for awhile.. Great thing that each of us have our own room to ourselves for more privacy to do anything we want and just relax our butt off! hehe ;p
Yesss....all this to myself! Mmmm....
I love it when a hotel room that I stayed in, provide me a decent looking iron and an ironing board as well!
And oh, this is even nicer! They provide us some flip-flops that we can take home! Perfect for someone like me, who wears heels all the time and doesn't have flat shoes to bring for a vacation! hahaha ;p
Our first activity....
Just hanging out with them...and listening to everyone's story about their daily life routine and activities!
We had a good laugh when Hafiz is around! He is such a diva, which I like so much! So cute, so funny! hehehe
From left, Ivy, Jessica, Hafiz, Qua Chee and me! They're such fun people to hang out with!
Next activity, we played a game!
We had two teams. Each team need to take off the things that we have on our bodies...and make it in one line. The longest line would be the winner! Thank God nobody's strip off their clothes that day! hahaa.. ;p
We put our shoes, rings, watches, phones, cardigans...whatever at all that we can find on our body! hehe
The other team! Their line was so long that they can even make a u-turn! Pffft...
Somebody used shoe strings! Patut la boleh menang! hehehe ;p
Congrats Jessica, QuaChee and Hafiz! ;)
Next, we went for our lunch!
And then it was free and easy...
Some of us went for a swim.. But I didn't, although I brought my swimming attire with me..
......so instead, I walked around the area, for some fresh air!
Isn't it nice...strolling around this place? :)
Later in the evening, around 5.30 pm I think... we had another activity!
It was a treasure hunt! Man....the last time I was in a treasure hunting game was like 3 years ago. So I was really excited for this!
We were given some clue cards to find for the next clue!
A lot of running involved!
"Where is it?? Is it there??!"
Ivy got lost....hehe
Run for your lifeeeee!!!
This man got the first place! Second was Jessica and third was me! heheh.
The prize was a 16 gig pen-drive! Cool!
So these are the five words that we found!
Later that night, we had a nice dinner by the pool at Bayu Cabana. We had steamboat!
After the dinner, I got back to my room, thinking of getting a body massage to tranquilize myself, but then it was a little too late already and the Tanjung Wellness Spa is almost closed, so instead, I make my own bubble bath in my room, to take my time off and just sit back and relax! ;)
I brought a few bubble bars and soaps with me!
I love making my tub full with bubbles!
Ahhh...it was so good! ^__^
After getting a nice warm bubble bath, I was ready for bed!
The next morning, after we all had a nice breakfast, we had a chat session with the guest of the day, Dr. Hew from Malaysian Aesthetic Clinic. He is a skin specialist who's very experienced and expert with dermatology concern..
We had a question and answer session with him for a good one hour!
It's so nice to have a session like this... I gained a lot of information about our skin that day!
Everyone were free to ask him any questions and solutions to our concerns..
I love how detailed he explained things to us!
By the way, if you wish to see him, you can visit his clinic in Bangsar Shopping Centre! ;)
Next, we had a pop-quiz session regarding skin! ^__^
And I won!!!! Weehooo! ;)
My early birthday present! hehe
And then it was time for us to check out and drive back to KL!
I had such a great weekend spending it with them!!!Thank you guys!!!!
I had soooo much fun!!
Take care guys and have a great week ahead!
