First pampered session w/ bisfin

      It's trimester break again and I still haven't celebrated it properly. I and my girls had always planned to go for a beauty session together. Naddy is on her internship so we only have the weekend to spend. It's kind of unbelievable to see how fast time flies, I mean we've known each other for 5 years already but it feels like yesterday we two just attended uni at 18. Getting into adulthood is pretty overwhelming therefore we definitely plan to do this at least once a month in the future, so we could catch up during our beauty sessions together. Before we leave for a spa session, we attended Sarah's house in the afternoon for a mini occasion of family and close friends I guess? Hence the jubah and abaya in the photos explain it all. We were happy that Sarah's ibu is progressing well, I believe the interactions she had with those who visited her really gave a positive impact on her health. Everyone, please make your du'a to Sarah's ibu with the hope she will be able to return to her previous normal condition again. So after we leave Sarah's house, we immediately google mapped our way there.

Sarah, me, Naddy

      The beauty house was located in Taman Gembira, KL; approximately 20 mins from our place. Soon as we found a parking space, the house beautician gave us a call and kindly reminded us about our appointment. So we ran(Naddy in her looong abaya and me in my wedge heels) to find the shop last minute hahahahaha. One minute late is a waste of money because the beauty house cannot extend our time if we were late since they have customers coming the next hour after our appointment. So we and our kalut-ness ran our way to find the place. I didn't really know if you could park inside the building or pay for it. We book an appointment with 'Beaute Solutions' on Friday and attended the spa session on this very recent Sunday. This wasn't my first time going to a spa or a massage therapy. My mother had sent me for a spa session as early as I was in high school. Even now, my mother would still send me after a rough outdoor trip. I did the same for mother's birthday, I sent her to these beauty sessions as a gift. All in all, here are how the session went and how I feel about it;

First, Google map or Waze your way to Seri Gembira Avenue, later look for this elevator which states Block D.

The beauty house is on the 2nd floor, so press 2 in the elevator. As you walk out of the elevator hall, turn left; the unit is D-2-1.

Tadaaaa! Press the bell and the house beautician will greet you at the door.

Here's the counter, just say your name and your appointment hour.

Next to the counter is this wall with a various line of the house beauty products.

You will have to wait here while the beauty house gets your room ready and stuffs.

A form is given to fill regarding your health condition and your personal details to keep up with the beauty house promotion from time-to-time

When you're done filling the form. You will walk through this pathway to get to your room.

Yes, this very pathway that I posed for... and see there, behind these curtains are the rooms.

So this was our room. It was kinda awkward though as it was my first spa session with a bisfin. 

       We bought an hour of a relaxing full body(head, shoulder, back, hands, legs, and feet) spa session priced at RM65/pax. Once you get into your room, the masseuse will attend you shortly with a proper spa attire, there should be much exposure and it's pretty norm of that if you're comfortable and used to it. There were two Indonesian masseuses who managed our session and they were very nice, they were even excited to find out that we were two Malay gals when we arrived as she told us that many of the customers usually came from other race. Throughout the whole session, I couldn't stop laughing when my weak spots were kneaded. Although the masseuses mentioned their package promotions for about 3x to us they were professional and didn't push hard on selling at all. They just simply mention, that's all.

      As you can see from the photos, the interior of the beauty house was nicely set the right mood for customers to feel relaxed and serene, every corner of the place was so clean and I totally felt comfortable during the whole session as hygiene is very important to me. The beauty house offers lots of other beauty services at a reasonable cost and was actually lower than common beauty house service prices. I really think women should spoil themselves when they could afford the time and price as it could de-stress you for a moment and keep the blood circulation going well. If you love a woman who struggles a lot for you, send them for a beauty session; be it a facial or a spa. This kind of genuine gesture will definitely let them feel good in the end. My body and head feel lighter afterward. Everything went well even Naddy and I did everything at the very last minute, it was my first pampered session with a bisfin and it was great alhamdulillah.

Service: ★★★★

Ambiance: ★★★★

Cleanliness:★★★★★

Value for money:★★★

Do look forward to the next beauty session!

Resolution

res·o·lu·tion

My only resolution for 2016 is to be a better person, no joke. After discovering the theory of life, now I know that by only being a more appropriate self. I could have my whole life changing 360 degrees, everything starts from within and it will naturally flaunt out its beauty. I may not have been the kindest and gracious last year, I wasn't even thinking like a 20 y/o most of the time. Things could change drastically, people change especially, like how the seasons are but I am none other to be less grateful for the mistakes I've learnt from, to still be having my family each day I woke up, the people who turned out to be great to be friends with, events that surprisingly took a huge spot in my heart. I love those moments. A year older, a year wiser in sha Allah. We may not have made the best decisions in our lives particularly at tough times, but we could change that.. maybe? After all getting old, it’s not about changing the calendar but commitment; it’s not about changing the actions but attitude. What a thought, I almost sound matured enough to vote heh.

PS. To the beloved people (or was once beloved) in my life, delightful wishes for a wonderful year ahead. Though we’re miles apart, you are always in my thoughts and prayers. May our beautiful smiles be the reason for others’ happiness this year! May each and every day of ours is renewed with lots of happiness and love. Sending virtual warm hugs to those who miss me x

Like Seinabo Sey said,"You ain't getting any younger, are you?" 

(Somebody played this song in the car the other day so I thought like what a good song that makes me think to do more while being young)

This is it. The phase that I fear the most, after my 20th birthday. I had issues, with long-distance. It almost seems impossible. But.. ya, how did I do it previously after my girls and I graduated from high school and continuing our paths differently from what we've planned previously or how exactly did my parents do it since I was 11? I'm afraid for what the future may hold, but my mother always told me there's nothing to be afraid of when you have Allah by your side. I am bad at keeping up with people, seriously(exception to best friends) and that's why distance scares me so much but I am always missing all the good folks that had been so nice to me and try to have a catch-up sesh during tri-break especially.

Best friends are flying soon, one will move to Pahang, one in Perak and my sweetheart is finally graduating. I couldn't be any proud for any of them. I must say, I am very happy to see how beautifully our journey had been.. through ups and downs, of the good jokes to the heartbreaking moments. Each time, we would have each others' back. I still remember that time when we felt homesick so bad during the first few months of uni, midnight calls, wished each other for a better tomorrow knowing that we'll make it and told each other how much we've missed the day after school(but not the homework) and our lovely paranoid moms. Things just began to spiral up these few days and I'm in that emotional phase. Again but this time, I know I have to be a real steel.

Reminiscing about how wonderful this one guy is(after my parents and my family) was a blessing. I could not express my gratitude to Allah rather than to be a good worshiper(will try my very best) to have him around me till death do us apart. I am really into him that I prayed for him, for us, for his and my family, each time day and night prayers just to have him loving only me(as the only non-mahram), to be his, in a halal way and to have this joyous journey together. How he picked up those broken pieces.. I must have done something right before our paths crossed(or good Lord know why). Now that this guy is finally an adult(apparently). I am trying my best to adapt to the situation.

No more after class movies, no more breakfast or lunch between classes and no more weekdays dates(maybe). Despite I have been so much of a cry baby about this but I'm being understanding, because eventually, I will have to go through the same phase of life. For this, I may be a different person in order to fit in. He's always making me proud and motivates me to be as smart as he is(smart at studying last minute and getting it all right). I wish you the best of experience and success in your work life. May Allah continue showering you with his blessings of bigger opportunities in the future and may you do good with what you've earned(of His blessings). My prayers are always with you, my love.

I have been thinking so much to change the way I dress as some looks I get(especially from strangers/guys are very uncomfortable), I even bought dresses these days but still Idk where the guts may come from to prevent these skinny jeans and sleeveless tops(may Allah ease this one as well). I cannot lie, I am fighting with my alter ego to dress properly each time before I go out, I prayed to look gracefully beautiful once I covered so well and to gain strength from the way I dress. But I know once I changed the way I dress I have to start being a real Muslim(by this I mean istiqomah and to prevent self from sins). 

Getting into studies, I know I haven't struggle so hard unless I'm 3 weeks away from final(or just when I feel like I needed to). Those sleepless nights are enough, but not good enough. I will have to study harder, but not just to be blinded by my CGPA.. as I ought to be taking care of my relationship with Allah and others as well. Being 20, I seriously couldn't find a significant time that has been deeply historical in a good way to look back at other than my cgpa results, beautiful family, lovely guy and good friends but I always know that I wanted to do more. May I continuously be surrounded with good people around me till I finally make it. Aaamiin.
