Weekend: Sakura Lounge & Moomba!

Happy Sunday!!!!! Us Melbournians have a long weekend, tmr is a public holiday!!! Today we went for a relaxing massage at Sakura Lounge & then off to Moomba! The front entrance of Sakura Lounge looks kinda seedy lol They are quite busy and the only booking they had 2 weeks ago was for 10am today. We picked the couples package which consisted of 30min foot massage, 1hr body massage and 1hr facial. During the foot massage, they give you japanese tea and a mochi, since B is not a fan of sweet foods I took the honour of finishing his too. Mochi's are so delish! Foot massage was awesome, loved it. Body massage was alright, I still love the massages from Thailand. Facial was good, they even massage my face and shoulders. What I didn't like was the smell of the oil they used and I went out for the rest of the day with a greasy face.

 

 The massage went for over 2.5hrs by the time we got out B was starving so we went next door to the Korean restaurant and got korean BBQ.

After lunch we headed to Moomba! I walked past these girls who won these huge ass sheeps and so cute too so I told B I wanted one. The next 30mins we walked around looking for one of those game stands with the sheep. I think we spent like 30bucks on different games trying to win the sheep. Finally, we found a game where you try to throw a plastic ball into a bucket and we GOT IT!!!!!! My victory pose with my new Sheep called Sheepy lol Oh yes this is the first photo which shows my face..woo hoo!

 

After we got the sheep, we were drained so decided to go home and rest a little. At 6ish we headed back to Moomba to try out these curly potato things? I had chicken salt sprinkled over my twisty potato, it was yum but I don't think I could eat it again anytime soon, too fatty for me.

 

I love corn!

 These churros were so tasty, melts in your mouth.

This is the end of my Sunday.... probably watch some tv before going to bed, my legs are killing me from all the walking today. My post are getting longer and longer.. it only means one thing I'm rambling!

Soo.. how much money did you spend to win a toy from a festival?

Thanks for reading!

Thailand: Koh Samui

Hey guys!! I am back from Thailand! Had the most amazing trip ever! We boarded the plane on Tuesday and landed around 5ish in Bangkok and then caught a connecting flight to Koh Samui. When we arrived at the Koh Samui airport, it was pouring down with rain. The customs at this airport are the most relaxed place ever here, they have two signs: one to declare goods and the other nothing to declare, it's your choice if you want to declare or not lol

The resort we stayed at was called Amari Reef Hotel. This place has the best customer service, as soon as we walked in they greeted us and led us to a place to sit down where we can check in. They provided us some tea and refresher towels. One thing I do find weird is that when checking into hotels in Thailand they like to photocopy your passports. When we got to our room, all we wanted to do was take a nap. After our nap we went to get a massage and facial at breeze spa located in our hotel. It was a little expensive but well worth it, soooo relaxing.

The breakfast here was amazing! This hotel has the best breakfast.. anything you can imagine they had it. Every morning I would end up eating 2 plates of food. You can get them to make you omelets or fried eggs. They even had a juice machine to make your own juice. They had not just one type of sausages but 3!!

We joined a tour to ride elephants and see tigers. Our tour ride was on a tuk tuk lol I was freakking out, we had no seat belts and was sitting at the back of the car. Elephant riding was pretty scary too, I held on real tight and didn't let go on the seat. The seat was just tied using ropes to the elephant and looked really flimsy. There was also a waterfall at this place where some ppl went for a swim, the water looked kinda dirty so I didn't go in.

Then we went onto a place where you get feed baby tigers and leopard. I took a pic with the tiger and B took photos with the leopard which got kinda nasty.

Check this gross looking pic out lol We went to a place that has Garra rufa fishes. They are suppose to exfoliate the skin, these tiny little fishes feed off the dead skins and leaving the healthy ones to grow. The feeling of when you first dip your feet into the water is so weird. Let me tell you, i'm not a ticklish person and these fishes were really tickling my feet badly lol

 This hut looking thing was where we got our first beach side massage. It look like a dirty place but hey its the experience that counts. I went for the thai message coz i didn't want to strip down in public lol This is one of the most weirdest massage I got. She was massaging my bum, next thing you know she put her fist near on my bum and pushed it.. kinda like fisting my ass lol

Our hotel had one of the best Italian restaurant we have ever been to. This place was called Pregos, we went here to eat 3 nights.. it's just that good. The pizza base was the best.. who would have thought Thailand would have such tasty pizza. I forgot to take a pic of this place even though we were here so many times lol On most days, we would be walking along the beach or swimming by the pools. Here are some pics I took of our hotel and beach.

Everyday we went out for a massage. On the day we left, we went for a full on pamper session. B and I went for an 1hr facial, I went for a foot scrub and then a 1 hr foot and hand massage. It was awesome, we both we sad that we were leaving lol I would definitely come back to this place.
