Monkeys at Vila Manja

The spa on Friday at Vila Manja was wonderful. 8 of us arrived and created such a ruckus while smoking, exploring the villa and choosing the essential oil we wanted for the massage. People go to spas to be relaxed and pampered. We were there to monkey around. But then again, that’s what we do ALL the time! That’s why we were able to plan such a fantastic company trip which resulted in the spa session sponsored by the company!

Here are some pics.

4 hours of foot spa, hot stone massage, aromatherapy full body massage and organic facial. And thereafter chocolate fondue and red wine. Ahhhh … if only every Friday could be this bliss.

The spa was pretty good and we got a great deal. We went for the Manja Indulgence Party which is where 6 or more people can book the entire spa to themselves and have a spa party! It was only RM300 nett per person for all the treatments we received. Of course individual packages would be more expensive. They also cater for bridal showers, hen nights, baby showers and even weddings!

In fact, I’m waiting for a quote from them on a wedding.

A Great Week - Guinness, Ming Room & Vila Manja

This has been a great week!

Monday started and ended without a hitch.

Tuesday was the Guinness St. Patrick’s Day media launch so the Beer Girls were partying with the client at Pulse Ultra Club and having free flow of Guinness Draught.

Wednesday was a belated CNY dinner with the clients at Ming Room where we had yummy shrimp in mango sauce, fried soft shell crab, Monk Jump Over The Wall, cod fish, sucking pig and more.

Thursday had no plans so it was a good chill out day and night.

And today, Friday, the Company Trip Organizing Committee are only working half day so we can spend the other half at a spa! We’re going to Vila Manja for 5 ½ hours of wraps, steams, soaks, rubs and massages. We’ve booked the place for ourselves to have a Manja Indulgence Party! And the best part is that it’s paid for by the company as a reward for planning the company trip!

Next week, is going to be hell at work. But it’s been a fantastic week so I really can’t complain.

I’m off to the spa. Have a good weekend everyone!

Holiday - Private Villas in Bali

I’m feeling sleepy. Very sleepy. It’s such a non-productive day at work. Well I’m in the office but I’m not working. My mind is stoning.

Doesn’t help that I was out till late on Wed at Clear & Thurs at Attic.

So Sin Cyn and I went for an aromatherapy foot massage in Urban Retreat at The Curve during lunch today. It cost RM39 for half hour and it was so worth it. I almost fell asleep. Now we’re planning to go for a 1 and a half hour full body massage the next time we are able to have a long lunch (massages are cheaper during working hours).

And talking about massages, I can’t wait to go to Bali and spend a few hours in spas everyday!

My holiday to Bali with Paul is finally confirmed! After several emails, calls and SMSes to Ashley of Nazar Travels, we’re going to Bali!

I’ve been to Bali several times but it’s still a place u can return to again and again as a holiday destination. It’s got so much to offer. I was contemplating between Bali and Samui during New Year but the good hotels in Samui have compulsory New Year Eve gala dinners which costs up to RM800 per person! And the peak season surcharge was high for both destinations

So we pushed it 2 weeks later which also coincides with our 1 year anniversary.

For RM1,800 each, we’re staying 3 nights in Villa Dedaun in Legian and 2 nights in Santi Mandala in Ubud. Each private villa is large and has its own pool.

I can’t wait to surf, get a tan, go for spas and sip cocktails every single day while we’re there!

Check out the pics of Villa Dedaun. The pics of the place was what sold me on Bali this time. Finally, no more tan lines ;)
