New camera
I need to get a new camera! The one I have right now is broken :( . It's not attractive reading my blog without photos. And Irdina has shown some interest in photography and ask me to get one. Insyaallah ye nak, mama survey dulu....
Spa treat at Pullman
On 29 June, I took a day leave just to experience a spa treatment at Pullman Putrajaya. I perceived Pullman as quite an expensive hotel thus when there was a Groupon offer of Pullman spa treament @ RM158, I didn't need to think twice! It was what I've been looking for, a treat after being diligent at work.
My plan was to go there early so I could have a swim before the treatment booked at 10.00am. However, I left Bangi at about 8.45am and reached there at about 9.15am. Definitely not enough time to swim but I asked the spa lady whether I can delay my treatment to 11.00 and she said yes, they were willing to wait for me! (wow! good answer! Anyone would feel special with such courtesy!) I think there were hardly any customer (because Pullman is new & expensive?) so it was possible for them to wait for me...hihi
So changed my clothes (as well as admiring/taking pics of the finishing of the changing room), had a dip about 1 hr, shower and back to the spa lounge 10 min before 11.00. I can say I was the only one there either at the swimming pool (although a girl & mother and a foreigner joined me later) or at the spa.
I will start with my conclusion of the Pullman spa. Good to experience so I could brag that I've been to Pullman. Whether I might come again? Yes, if it has Groupn offers :P because Pullman is near to Bangi.
After noting the reception, I was brought to a superb receiving area served with a cup of ginger tea while waiting for the spa room to be ready . Niceeeee.... Then I was brought to the spa room equipped with own toilet and shower cum sauna. The feel of the spa room is modern with a charm. Usually, spa plays Javanese type of music and so is Pullman except it plays a modern version of the music.
My Groupon offer outlined the treatment as:
[Up to 77% Off] 2-Hr 10-Min Full Body Massage + Javanese Lulur + More in 5-Star Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside Hotel. For 1 (RM158) / 2 (RM258) People. From RM129 per person. For men / women
Sauna then massage, then scrub then bath. At Pullman, they start with sauna (which was not mention in the offer, yeah better value for me) and end with the massage.
I think the spa treatments target business travellers/executives because the smell of massage oil is not that strong (I'm comparing it with Cyberview Spa) so people can go straight to the office/ appointments etc. There was hardly any smell once the oil dried out. So not a + point if you are on leave specifically for a spa treat and expect the smell to stay until you go to bed. My rating:
Sauna_nice interior
Massage_ok. Prefer Cyberview
Lulur_ok. Not a strong smell though (I like strong smell)
As an overall, it was a good experience. I guess I didn't put up a high expectation, I just wanted to unwind. Another blogger review and more pics here.
