The Spa Treatment

DD has been unwell these past few days. Fever, flu, sorethroat and headaches come and go. Poor thing.. I still make her go to school (except for KAFA yesterday) because as it is, she has already missed school a lot this year.

I thought a little pampering would perk her up a bit. So the other I announced to her that I was going to give her home spa treatment. She got excited. I lined the bed with a batik sarong for a little bit of spa ambience.

As I started giving her a frangipani body scrub, I told her to close her eyes and imagine that she's at the beach. She promptly declared, "I'm in Hawaii." "Can you hear the breeze blowing the coconut leaves?" I asked. "No, I can hear the motorbike," was her response.

It was actually the newspaper delivery guy, who came around to collect the payment for February. I returned to the bedroom after making payment to the guy. I asked DD, "Are you still in Hawai?" Her answer was, "No, I'm in Disneyland!". I jokingly reprimanded her that Disneyland is for excitement, not for relaxation.

Later on I applied bedak sejuk on her face. Once the bedak became dry, she immediately sat upright and said "Zombe!!!" ala Awie in the movie Hantu Kak Limah Balik Rumah. By the way, we watched the movie on You Tube the other night and it was hilarious.

Next I clipped DD's nails. It was the first time in a year or so, because DD has been clipping her nails by herself. She became nervous, worried that I might hurt her accidentally. So much for trusting your mother!

I finished off the treatment by giving her a shoulder massage and a footrub. Then I declared, "You're as good as new now".

Overall, it was a good quality time for the two of us.
