Yoong Tong Thai Massage

ABBEY: Our Thailand vacation will not be completed without a session of massage. We booked for a full body massage with foot massage. The 2-hour session gave me more relaxation. I think I've slept the whole duration. The masseur really hit the aching spots in which I was relieved. 700 bhat was the charge for the service which includes a blue tea :)






WILL: Vacation in Phuket Island will not be complete if you do not avail any massage from their local masseurs. You can have a choice: lay on the Patong Beach sand, go half nude and let the breeze gently touched your skin or be at spa salon and get a room on your comfort and privacy. We are conservative people (really? Haha), so we chose to avail it in massage parlor just in front of Frutta Boutique.

I avail the whole body oil massage, and it is very unfair that the massuer has no skill, grrrr.. it seems that she only touching my skin, no pressure at all. Disappointed, I went down to have the foot massage, oh well, I am drooling once the masseur hit the my aching muscle.

Then that was the last stop for our Phuket Adventure. Ahmm,  please wait for our blog on island and city tour

Saint Marc Cafe Singapore

ABBEY: After a loaded snack at Carl's Jr., Chat invited us to have some coffee. We've been to Vivo City multiple times but this is the first time we set our feet on St. Marc Cafe. They offer Japanese tea, desserts and coffee. 

I picked choco banana split. It took more than a couple of minutes for my order but when my coaster lighted up and I saw my frozen delight, it was worth the wait. With my long-handled teaspoon, I scooped the vanilla ice cream and the taste is delicious. Not too sweet...very creamy and smooth. It costs 9sgd which is reasonable with all the presentation and great taste. 


Next dine in, I'll their other creations.













WILL: After our usual dinner/snack at our "official tambayan" with Chat, she told us that she want to have a coffee and its her treat!! Yehhheyy! For us, I told her to try the new St. Marc Cafe and she agreed. Hmmm, do you have this kind of friend? None? Well, pray for one. Haha!

Make way to St. Marc Cafe's hot chocolate...creamy and so chocolatey. This is a great place to catch up with your friends. Cozy, quite place. Oh for people like Abbey who love sweets, they are offering ice creams here.

2SGD Mini Bank Project

ABBEY: We had our coin project in the year 2012 and the total amount of savings is 500sgd. The downside is each dollar coin has a deposit fee. This resulted to an almost 25-dollar-reduction on our earnings. We learned our lesson and come year 2013, we start saving 2-dollar bills. Twice the amount on the previous year and no fees. 

The savings surpassed the dollar coins but only a small percentage. We got 650sgd and invested it for the second phase of our "40 by 40" project. This year we continue saving those violet-colored treasures and expecting to surpassed the first 2 years.




WILL: Some people have other options to save a money for different purposes. Abbey and I save for additional sum for our investments. Last year we agreed to put a $1 coin on our Malteser's bank but we were deducted few dollars when we deposited it in our Citibank account. Lessons learned so we say hello to $2 bill. 

After receiving my boss ang pao from our Dinner and Dance party, a day after we open up our mini bank. We surpassed the previous amount. Then we both decided to send it to Philippines in addition to our "40 by 40" project. ;) 

Indeed this is a great way to save and invest. Oh, maybe you can do what my niece doing. She put a note wherein she can see always the purpose why she is saving up. 

Go and save. It is fun.
