I took a day leave as I really freaking bored in office.

Last week, I only attended one vessel, which was on Friday night. This week, I have one vessel yet again on this coming Saturday. The key thing is, there NO ship for me on normal working hours like 9 to 5 and all my ships came in wee hours. Damn ‘tu lan’

So what I do in office?

Surf the internet like reading from the beginning of ancient China civilization to the end of her dynasty.

Wah piang eh, soon or later I will have my insanity as reality.

I need something to simultaneously to overhaul my grumpiness so I went for a little excursion.

Time: 1:35pm
Loc: JB
Moral: High
Wallet: RM230.30 (exchange rate 2.303)
Crowd: Mob scene

Yes, me in JB again as I came in for one purpose, that is to wash my hair. I enjoyed the sensation of washing my hair where they will massage your head, neck as well as shoulder. On top of that, I need to do a treatment on my hair, kind of dry…

Fast forward: Cut short on meal (fish head curry) and other stuffs.

Reached the saloon at 5:00pm and requested washing and treatment hair. Quoted me 2 prices and I opt for a higher-grade treatment conditioner with washing throw in at RM45/-

Their washing technical simply fantastic that I was being massages my head, neck, shoulder and arm. Very typical Malaysia style, I would add.

Next is my hair treatment.

My hair was put on some conditioner, wrap a towel around and made me put on a oversize space helmet.



With steams coming out in all direction, it likes a UFO/flying saucer hovering above my head.

10 min later, the alarm went off and I was led behind to rinse all the residue. The first time I didn’t notice is because I didn’t put on my glasses and this time I stumble upon this.



Hmm…..what is this bed doing here in the saloon? It’s certainly couldn’t be their own usage for sure. My mind begins to lean to the dark side. My mind is in total chaos, I need answer. How to get it?

A simple solution is just open my mouth and ask.

Found out they are providing facial and ear wax removal. Hmm……since I’m here might as well try it. Asked them what is the damage and was given several prices depending on the products apply on my face. They got SK II(RM80/-) some more. **laughing**

I took the medium range and the earwax removal services.
RM60/- + RM14/-

Part 1: Me lying on the bed and the lady (22 yo) apply some cleanser and started massage my face. Woooo…...feel good. Really good, I must say. She got smooth hand…but that’s another topic.

Part 2: She took out a device and started rubbing my face. I asked what’s that for I couldn’t see….she says, “ Good stuff”. I had no choice but to whip out my trusty phone and snap this pic so to see for myself.




Good grief, is this machine run on battery? I think not. Will I get electrocuted for I could hear cracking sound? The truth? I don’t want the truth. I can’t handle the truth!

Part 3: Do a process called blackhead extraction whereby she squeeze my nose till I screamed for my mama! I’m not kidding, it was freaking excruciate painful and my tears pile up in my eye. After more facial washing and she then finally apply mask to my face, which was a relieved, and 20min later….

Part 4: She peeled it off and apply more lotion which she rubs my neck and shoulder.

Next it the earwax removal, because of the dedicate procedure I was kind of immobilized therefore I couldn’t take any picture. Any wrong move will result me using hand signal for communication like deaf people. The last time I had tune-up on my ear was like 10 years back when I was working in Cambodia.

But I must confess it was extreme pleasurable. Try fingering your ear, you will know.

By the way, as I am typing this my nose is still hurt.
