Ulik Kencana

I decided that I needed a good massage lately, and decided to drop by Ulik Kencana, SS14. Darn difficult to locate - as the shop is plain, and the sign board can blends into the background. Sounds like a shop from Harry Potter's stories.

Cost is RM 90 per hour, which is bloody expensive. Taipan charges RM 45 per hour. That's twice the amount. When querried, the gal said that included urut batin. That would be a fair amount to pay. Urut batin usually cost RM 50 extra.

Nothing sexy about the massage lady, Ayu. But her massage was really good - very relaxing. Downside is the place is without air-condition; so, it's a massage plus a sauna. I almost fell asleep during the massage. The urut batin was OK, just OK. Nothing fantasitc.

Will I return - I am not sure. It is a bit expensive and nothing too sexy either. Might return if I have some spare change and in need of a good massage.

The Legal Ah Longs?

I sent a cheque to pay one of my many credit cards, and the cheque arrived a couple of days late. Since the bank had a very good warning system, I got a SMS about late payment before I was fined. So, I have the opportunity to pay up, which I did.

Today - I got a phone call from the same bank. The sweet voice asked me if I would like to transfer cash from my credit card account to my bank account - at a very low rate of 0.75% per month. Or was I interested in a card with higher limit? How about refinancing for another credit card - that's credit transfer.

Was it a coincidence? Or they noticed I made one payment a few days late? The mind boggles. And yeah, the late payment - it was for an amount of RM 50 only!

Security or Safety?

Tough call when it comes to security or safety. Ideally, we want both. Was approached by a salesman recently - to upgrade the tint on my car with a secure tint. Apparently, it is very difficult to break - hence security.

My immediate thought - why happens if there is an accident and I need help? The secure tint might not be good. People might not be able to reach me. Then again, if the Fire Department can cut thru metal, they should not have problems with the tint.

Difficult to say is the tint good, but I am not installing it - but that's more for financial reasons!
