River Explorer Singapore

ABBEY: We got the complimentary tickets for this River Cruise when we bought tickets for Gardens by the Bay on an online deal promotion. 

We boarded their terminal near Liang Court. The cruise is different from the cruise we had near the Singapore Flyer as it has video narration on each boat. The narration gives information on each landmark that you will pass on. It also gives some unique trivia on places. It is the only time that I saw the old place of Merlion and the cost of building merlion is lesses compared when it was moved. 

It gave me a different perspective of Singapore skyline. The route has different stops in which you can alight but you have to pay when you ride back. The cruise give more information regarding Singapore's humble past. 

WILL: Do you want to really know the history of Singapore? In depth? Start the exploration with the Singapore River, as this body of water is one of the witnesses how this small land struggled its way to success. 
      Abbey, Chat and I decided to alight at the Merlion Park, but once we boarded the Singapore River Explorer's boat, we come to the decision to finish the cruise. 
      As the boat is sailing, there's a video explaining the places above us. The most interesting for me is the old place of Merlion and in detail how Singapore moved the icon to its new place, which is now the Merlion Park. Next one caught my attention was the flying saucer building, Singapore's Supreme Court. 
      Here you can imagine the drastic transformation of the before "dead" river and now one of the most visited part of this island by the tourists. 
      This exploration costs $18 for adults but we got this when we bought at Groupon the voucher for Gardens by the Bay. :) 
      Nice way to spend time. You will be relaxed by the splashing tides and the story-telling video. ;) 

Red Dynasty Paintball Park

ABBEY: We got this at Groupon and this deal sold like hotcakes. At first it was only a 6-man group then it became a company team building. The location of the paintball ground is at Bottle Tree Park.

e were reserved a time slot for 2pm. The staff briefed us about the do's and don't of the game. They really emphasized about safety like not pointing your gun at anyone outside the grounds and wearing your mask at all times. The masks are being cleaned every after session so bacteria from sweat won't accumulate. 

Our goal is to get the bomb at the center of the field to your base and from there run and plant your flag at the center. I admit that my team didn't strategize while our opponents were busy planning to take us down. I managed to strike some of them but I went out of bullets. Our team lost but it was fun. We had a lot of stories going back home.

WILL: April and I share some interests...music & extreme and unusual sports for girls. This is our 3rd time to spent together for a non-office activity. 

      After I saw the Groupon voucher, I immediately asked April if she wants to join to build a group of 10 to book for this Paintball activity. In an instant, four of my colleagues confirmed and some of our clients. Never ever taught that one of my boss will join us and her husband, and in our great luck, our big boss paid the costs. 

     January 27 is the day, we all gathered at Bottle Tree Park to team up against each other. So sad that me and Abbey were on different team. Yeah, we fought each other, and he is my first target and first hit. Lol. Group one, we, won! 

     This is a nice and very good experience. Hoping to see another promotion from voucher dealers. ;) 

BongKod Traditional Thai Foot Spa

ABBEY: We got this traditional Thai foot reflexology on Groupon at less than 20sgd per person. Bongkod Thai Foot Spa is located at Ang Mo Kio.

Upon reaching the establishment we were welcomed by their staff and asked us to get ready for foot wash and scrub. Once finished we were given a very comfy-kingly chair. It was very relaxing. The masseur put warm towel on our feet and immediately started the session. The ointment/cream applied to our feet is non-greasy and really soothes our tired feet; and it has a good aroma. Upon ending the session they gave us a relaxation tea.

WILL: Thai Massage yes but foot spa?, this is my first time. Bongkod Traditional Thai Foot Spa was located at Ang Mo Kio just behind a wet market, very accessible to the residence along the area. We bought this package for $18.00 at Groupon and immediately redeemed the voucher.

      Once we stepped our feet in their haven, they immediately accommodate us, asked to sit in the middle of the room to wash our tired feet, then we followed and sat to our assigned seat. All of of the people beside us is sleeping while their masseurs were busy striding their fingers on their feet.

      They handed as the hot ginger tea, and soaked my foot on a warm water with tea then my body completely gave in.. Relaxed.

      The masseurs came then started the 60mins session. Gosh, really, they are hitting the painful spots. Relief and relaxed and sleepy, that was I felt after they took off their hands off my feet.

      They have a very friendly staff. Try here, they have also a $10.00 package when we got there,  Very recommendable place.

Miracle by Nature

ABBEY: Wilma is complaining about her tired feet. Good thing that we have a Groupon voucher for a 60-min foot massage in Miracle by Nature. The establishment is located at Blk 431 Clementi Ave. near Clementi MRT station. All I can say is that the session is great. As this is my first on a foot reflexology I'm not aware how will they massage this least-rewarded body part. They started on tips of each toe ending with heels. The session also included a 20-min dry back massage. This is good experience. I felt I'm walking in the clouds after we finished.

WILL: I need some knead. You read it right "need" not "want". I have an aching and very tensed muscles this past few weeks. It is more than 2 months since the last last visit to masseurs and Groupon is just in time when they release this discount for foot reflex. 
      Miracle by Nature was just 2 minutes walk from Clementi Mall. We headed there after office hour and sunk ourselves to their couches and massage bed. 
      60 minutes the Korean Pop look-a-like boy massage my feet. Damn, he really hit all the aching spots. There is a moment that I was gasp for air for the extreme pain I felt when he pinched my right foot lower side. After that foot reflex, we were offered a lukewarm water then headed our way to a massage bed for 20 mins of back kneading. This is my first time that a man will massage my back, anyway I do not give any damn about it, haha, more pressure please. Well, he don't use his hands, he used his elbows, FTW! 
      After the session, I really felt that I am totally pampered...relaxed. The excruciating pain in every step, now was gone. Have a lighter feeling now. :) 
      Miracle by Nature has a very nice deals also, you can check with Michael through 67766992.
