Spring Oasis – First-Class Health and Wellness Medical Spa

ABBEY: Once in while you have to give yourself a treat. For me and Wilma, we used to give ourselves a massage. We looked into online deals and we found an hour of body massage for 45sgd at Spring Oasis. It was on the 13th floor of The Forum at Orchard. 

Please take note that this is not your regular spa clinic. No music, no perfume oils or candles. The place is white well-lit just like a medical clinic. I was asked to change clothes and lay down. Then the massage began. The therapist focused on my back and I slept in no time. I just woke up when I felt I'm being tapped. 

It was good; I felt rejuvenated and my back muscles was relieved of stress. They got relaxed. 

WILL: If you saw some of our posts last June in our blogs you will saw a gray bandage on my left hand. I was sprained and it hurts every time that part hit by a cool breeze. My body screamed for kneading but due to tight schedule, we only booked for it on 24^th of July.

We were immediately served when we got at their place. I was asked to take off my clothes, hmmm.. no shower? I lay on my stomach. The masseuse asked me what part of my body is really painful. I raised my left hand and she started the massage from my neck down, to left arm down to my left wrist. While doing it, she explaied how painful it would be but she promised that after that session I will be relieved.

She lightly touched my whole back and ask if there is part that is in pain, I replied I do not have. She told that my muscles at the lower back were so stiff, then she pressed them using her elbow. I breathed heavily to relax screaming pressed muscle at the back. With her elbow she massage my buttocks. I think for a long 10 minutes she is there, reaching every veins of it. (after that session the numbness in my butt that I feel every day due to long day of sitting was gone).

She reached to my legs and on my tears now is on the verge of falling out from my eyes. It is really painful every time her elbow reached a muscle that I think I never knew existed in my body! And I also thought that maybe I have no more energy to walk myself home.

The session was finished minutes after an hour. I get up and I felt so light. Rejuvenated. Renewed!

They tell us the truth! They are not a spa, they are MEDISPA.

Very good experience! Very Recommendable!  You can reach them at 583 Orchard Road #13-01 Forum Tel: 67334108

Victoria Theatre & Concert Hall - 19 & 20 July 2014 Open House

ABBEY: After four years, Victoria theatre opened its doors again to the public. We attended the open house last July 19. 

The way how the old pieces and new structure was integrated gave a good impression to the visitors. Pieces of the back of the chairs were used to build a new artwork, the Rubik's cube. The old timbers were used in the walls of the theatre. 

Our ears heard good music that gave us shivers when the Philharmonic Youth Wind orchestra played Circus of Venice as well as Carpenters medley. The richness of Chinese culture was shown on the dance numbers of Dance Ensemble Singapore. 

I hope I'll be able to watch plays here in the future.

WILL: Lay the red carpet!!! Oldest and prestigious Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall is now open! After a massive and meticulous renovation, she welcomes her visitors both local and tourists for a free shows and guided tours. Are you also there to take part of tomorrow's history?

We arrived for almost 5pm and immediately queue for Philharmonic Youth Wind. Abbey and I are so blessed to be sated on the 2nd floor, first row of the concert hall. When the kids started to play, goosebumps all over! The serene and very pacifying music came out from their wind instruments. The crowd cannot get enough and requested for a song. A roar of clapping hands is the way we say thank you and good job musicians. :) 

We ran to get inside the Theatre. Oh, now I wish that I am downstairs and more nearer to the dancing kids. Gracefully they interpret the song and made us really happy. 

The whole building is so great, magnificent. So white..so pure. Thanks VCH. Can't wait for plays and concerts to be held in your place.

Stewords Riverboat - Marina South Pier

ABBEY: It's better late than never :) Due to miscommunication Stewords Riverboat restaurant still gave us the discounted price of their baby back ribs for 15sgd only. We went there two days after their festive 15th year anniversary.

We were warmly welcomed by their staff and led us to our table which is directly opposite of the one we had on our first visit. We were given the menu and reminded that for us the price would still be 15. Two orders of baby back ribs please, tea, and unlimited soda :)

A couple of minutes later, the drinks arrived, then the large plates of pork delight. It comes with fries and house salad. It was so delicious. So soft that the pork is peeling from the bone almost instantly. The sauce is not too spicy nor too sweet. I think I sipped up to four glasses of Coke :) 'Twas a good, romantic dinner.

WILL: Looking for a place to impress your date? A place that you can look over the horizon while the sunshine gave way to a romantic darkness of sky, a place where you can be pacified by waves of the sea while eating a dinner.. do not look any further, its just a bus (bus no. 402 or 400) away from the business district of Singapore. Last thursday, 17/7, we say hello again to Stewords Riverboat.

It's their 15th year anniversary and this time we are there to checkout their baby back ribs. Again, thanks to Daryl,  for extending the discounted price for us. 

I felt the warm welcome of the people of this restaurants. Showed us our seat and immediate ordered for the meat we are longing for almost a week. 

They served their $15($22++ U.P.) baby back ribs with salad and french fries. I do not know what is tge dressing they topped at the salad but its seems so special, the fries is extra crispy. The moment of truth (shocks drooling again just thinking of it, haha!), no effort at all when slicing the meat to get off from the bones. The meat is so tender and juicy. The sauce is so perfect that compliments well to the meat.

Thanks Stewords Riverboat. This is very recommendable. We will see you again for sure :)
