Somewhere up in the North… (“Kang Jia Therapy @ Yishun”) December 31, 2008

Located along Yishun Ring Rd, carpark is aplenty should you wish to park conveniently. The outlet is at the first level and thus easily spotted. Upon making appointment, I made my way down to Kang Jia Therapy on the day itself. I was greeted by the manager in charge that very day. Their warm hospitality of making me feel at home surely did set the mood for comfort.

I came to know that this outlet was newly opened in 2008. It situated in the neighbourhood of Yishun and definitely a convenient location to drop by if you stay in this vicinity.

After a quick sip of lukewarm water, I proceeded to my allocated room for my massage. The masseuse did her opening massage on me and asked how much of force would it be good for me. I thought that was a delicate question to ask at the beginning as it determines the tempo for the rest of the massage journey. I soon slipped into a state of pre-doze as it was really very comfortable with the setting and massage applied. When she started doing some foot reflexology on my heals, it felt good possibly due to the jogging I had done over the past week.

The session ended with a feedback session over the counter with the manager. Well, it was good, how else can it be?

Double Spa (“LB Spa @ Geylang Rd and Chinatown”) December 30, 2008

There are two branches to LB Spa in which one is along Geylang Road while the other is in the Chinatown area. Once inside thus Taiwan established centre, you will be able to pamper yourself with the many packages offered. Most of the masseuses are from China. Tips are discouraged at these branches as probably they pay their masseuses well.

With individual rooms attached, you can ensure that your privacy will be protected and you can enjoy the detox services it got to offer. There’s free body scrub, skin detox, foot detox, face detox and aromatherapy detox for every hourly treatment.

The opening hours of both branches are from 10am to 1am. With such long operating hours, you can go almost any time of the day you like to from late morning till past midnight. I visited the outlet at Chinatown some time around late morning. I was greeted by a sweet looking receptionist and was recommended to one of their popular massage package.

A smiley masseuse lead the way to the room and proceeded with my massage. I felt pretty much comfortable under the nice ambience and light pounding massage on my body back. While rubbing in circular motion of my triceps area, the soreness that I felt for days lightened up. I must have heaved a sign of relaxation for her to continue with that area…and she understood that I felt good which was why she continued with that sore area without me telling her practically so.

The massage experience at LB Spa was a good one overall.

Spicing up a boring day! (“Canberra Health Spa @ Sembawang”) December 27, 2008

Sometimes during the weekend, with nothing great on TV and any appointments with friends…it should be a good rare time to chill out alone..but then again, its boring doing JUST nothing!

so why not engage in my our favourite activity by doing nothing except to lay down there and let the masseuse fingers do the work…at least this form of doing nothing is more interesting~

I flip through my directory of spa centres and saw one near my location at Sembawang – Canberra Health Spa. Guess how I travelled there? I jogged! It sounds a bit crazy for someone to jog to a spa centre…but I thought it might be more worthwhile trying to make oneself tired first before going for the relaxing part…like that will be more relaxing…isn’t it?

Looking up at the signboard, I know I am at the right location. Entering the tinted doors, I found myself in a nice air-conditioned environment from the blazing sun outside. The receptionist must have been pretty amuse at seeing me sweat profusely..she was kind enough to offer me a cool chilled drink. After selecting my package, I was guided to the room and the masseuse was already inside waiting for me.

I changed into their cosy wear and soon the massage began. She was pretty quiet throughout the session and let her fingers do the talking instead. Her elbow glides past my tired legs (from the jogging)..and it felt so good. As she use her pressure on those acupuncture points, I felt a sense of pleasure. Her skills were great with the amount of force use on the different body parts. The massage oil were evenly spread out and the lavender smell spread throughout the room.

This massage lasted only 45 minutes and it seemed too soon. But now at least I know, there’s a place to come by if I were to jog in the vicinity again!

A bliss after a hard day’s work…(“ANA Health Centre @ Queens St”) December 26, 2008

It was a pretty tough day at work managing some tough clients who are pressing on the already heavy load of work. The daily pressures in life just weigh down on those tiring shoulders. It was a pretty hectic day from 9am meeting the first client till 6pm meeting the 5th client of the day.

6pm was supposedly time for dinner but my stomach wasn’t growling at all…possibly due to the lose of appetite meeting the demands of the day. As usual, to destress myself after a hard day of work, it is time to relax with a good body massage.

I have been to ANA Health Centre at Queens St once before..but that was some months back. Since I was in the vicinity, I thought it will be nice to pop by.

A pleasant lady greeted me at the doorway (I guess she just came back from dinner..) and guided me to the reception whereby I selected my 1 hour package.  Through the passageway as I walk in, the ambience sets me in a relaxing mood with the calm environment.

I just laid myself down on the bed and soon after a young masseuse (possibly in her mid-20s) followed up. The massage was great as she kneaded all my work tensions away…it seems to me that every time she glides her hands down my body, it lightens my day’s pressure. As she work her way down my legs, the chopping technique was used and I could feel my legs soothe with comfort as she applied a fare bit of massage oil.

The hour was gone in a jiffy but it was very well worth it. I must have been too relaxed to have forgotten to ask the masseuse what her name was…I will definitely make a trip down to ANA Health Centre again…till the next time, I’ll post the masseuse name here on my blog.
