Rainforest Spa

Today I had an appointment at Rainforest Spa for a 135 minutes pampering session consisting of a jacuzzi session, body scrub and aromatherapy massage! It was delayed/belated portion of big birthday gift from Azmir.

The place is located at Green Canopy at Setia Alam, Shah Alam. First thing that came to mind was that it seems kinda far and since I don't know the area, I didn't know exactly what to expect. But when we got there I was pleased :) The place is done up nicely with a nature concept..lots of trees and flowing water....hence the name.

We started off with a 20 minute jacuzzi where they provided us with Lemongrass drink and a wet peppermint towel for us to place on our face while we were enjoying the jacuzzi. The wet towel was very cooling and a nice counter to the hot jacuzzi water.

After that I had my Apple scented body scrub. It was my first time going for a body scrub and I liked it! I felt super clean after that and refreshed.

Last but not least was the aromatherapy massage. I could feel the masseuse trying to untangle the 'knots' behind my back :P This lasted for about an hour I think after which I just felt like sleeping there and then. So relaxing!

All in all, a very great pampering session and a nice way to close 2011.

Happy New Year Everyone! :)

A Big Win

As a litigator, it is not something new to go to court and argue your case on what the position of law should be for a certain matter or issue.

Today however was different.

I was fortunate to have been put to assist on a Court of Appeal case involving an important question of law on the interpretation of certain statutes and subsidiary legislation and the powers it conferred on the relevant authority. After almost a year of hard work, it finally culminated in the hearing before the Court of Appeal panel today.

The case was one of the first to he heard. After hearing the submissions by both parties and deliberations, the Court decided in our favour! Needless to say I was extremely happy! :)

All the stress of running around preparing submissions, authorities (we had a 5-inch high bundle of cases to support our arguments), additional bundle of documents and doing additional research to the very last minute was all worth it!

This case, unlike other wins, could possibly be a landmark decision on the issue. One of my colleagues who assisted in the research commented that the best part of being a litigator is that you can play a part in developing / changing the law. I agree! :)

Rainbow Log

I was walking around 1U the other day and passed by Haagen-Dazs and saw this really cool ice-cream cake...the Haagen-Dazs Rainbow Log. If my birthday was coming up I would ask for this as my birthday cake :P
