A Fishy Tale

Not too long ago early July 08
Dead skin being eaten in progress

Now it’s a real trick to somehow give a birthday treat to a good friend AND having a good laugh AT her as well. And so it happened to be Bud’s bday and I decided to treat her to a spa.. not just any spa.. but a FISH spa.. This happen to be one of those many fish spas that has been sprouting like a virus in Klang Valley of late.

Basically, you pay RM38 for 30 min to be tickled to death. No kidding.  Well, they are suppose to be a group of little fish called Garra Rufa which exfoliate the dead skin on your feet by EATING them! The fish originate from a hot spring in Turkey where they are commonly known as “Doctor Fish” for their effectiveness in assisting eczema and psoriasis patients in their healing process.(bla bla bla).

With that said, and this was my 2nd time and Bud’s first :-P we bravely went in around 8.30 pm after work. After cleaning our feet, I dipped in head (i mean foot) first to ‘encourage’ a very hesitant Bud. Ok, that clearly didn’t work what with my really tickled expression. I looked more suffering than enjoying. It took Bud at least a full 10 min to finally hover that feet of hers at least to touch the water.. after I ’sounded’ her cos I was the one paying! Bud’s agonising ticklish expression throughout the session : PRICELESS!

Anyways, Bud definitely had a very unforgettable spa experience for her birthday, which I bet she’s not gonna try again any time soon :-)
