Adeva Spa @ Paragon



ABBEY: 
We were about to have dinner at Suntec when we saw the promotion of Adeva. For an hour of whole body massage you will be charged for 38sgd when the usual price is 78. We went to the facility and were gladly attended by the staff. A couple of minutes passed and we were instructed that we can use the spa amenities before the massage; it has jacuzzi - the size of our room, steam bath, and sauna. Ginger tea and water are available also. The tea is very good and very commendable. After soaking in the pool, it was time now for massage. It was a relief; having a massage after a week's work. But the thing is its only her weekend, my week has just started.


WILL: Adeva at Paragon - Orchard! What? How much? Hehe. As we were their first timer customer, their package of 198$ per session of massage was slashed to $38. Good deal right? 

What are the inclusions. Free use of jacuzzi, steam bath, disposable underwear, their free flow of very well blended ginger tea, and a dessert.
      We went there after office, TGIF! On their very serene lobby, staff will give u a form to fill up what are your body parts that your masseurs will concentrate to. There is also a boxes to tick how hard your massage will be. Kung may extra hard lng dun, un ang check ko. Ha! So i ticked on, Hard.
The massage, damn good. Rejuvenated!
     Do not forget to make an appointment, they are always fully booked. So better call before going there. Oh, i love their tea. Very soothing!

Pirates of Carribean - Stranger Tides

ABBEY: 
This is the fourth installment of Capt. Sparrows' quest. When we saw the movie trailer, we decided to watch it in silver screen. I booked the ticket at Shaw Theaters - Nex. The show started 10 minutes past 9pm. Jack Sparrow never failed to show his wit and humor and even managed to escape when he was captured twice. A good leader for his co-pirates. With the guide of his ever-reliable compass they located the requirements to be mixed with the water from the Fountain of Youth. The same compass also lead them to the fountain. What funny to the movie are his punchlines. You'll never know when he will deliver it; be it in a serious scene, a combat one, just plain one. Music and sceneries are great. They jived well with the story line. Another kudos for men behind the Pirates. Ai,ai, Captain!!!



WILL: Oh i personally love each movie of Johnny Depp. But here in pirates of Caribbean i love him most. He is so cool. A happy-go-lucky pirate. So here we go again, jack sparrow... I mean capt jack sparrow have its fourth movie. In strangers tides. I do not want spoil who wants to watch this, but its a great movie, action, drama, and comedy in one movie. Story evolved in a fountain of youth, Greediness of some, and loving the life they have. 
      Here in fourth movie, it just gave me some spirit of emptiness without Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, the love birds.
      I can watch this sequel over and over again.

PC SHOW June 2011




ABBEY: 
A week before the event, we were scouting the estimated prices for the products that we'll buy. We're expecting that those prices will be lower once the IT show comes. We're right; aside for the prices became low, there were lots of freebies. One thing we noticed is that there are fewer people who came even though its a weekend. Maybe more people will come before the show ends on Sunday. Lesson for us is to exert effort to visit a number of shops to compare and have the best buy for your product. Patience is the key and pays a lot in the end.
WILL: Feet? Check! IC? Check! Wallet? Ahmmmm. Haha. This is not my first time to go here at Singapore's quarterly IT show. Last year we just bought for an acer netbook - a piece of cake to carry. Now we bought our very own desktop, another laptop, an iPad, 1TB HDD, so total of 4 paper bags, a trolley and one big carton. 
      Tips when you go to Suntec? Drop the idea of using the car for car park shortage, do not hail a cab traffic jam is so bad! Use MRT, alight at esplanade station. Go there as early as you can. 
      Before the IT show, scout! So you will know the price if its lower and the freebies will be greater. You can also save your time in roaming around the 2nd, 4th and 6th floor of suntec convention.
      Here you cannot haggle for the price but you can ask for more freebies. Just unlock your charm to the sales executives.
