    Saturday, February 4

    I'm feeling so excited as my fingers roam on the keyboard.. this is the first time i've experienced such 'high' life.. living like a queen for a day.. i'm starting to see how much i'll enjoy the life of a taitai.. muahahahaha

    we were at jh's place few days ago and i was browsing through the latest Her World magazine.. came across some review-like feature article for spas in singapore.. looked at the photos, the promotions, location and blablabla.. didn't think much of it except that michelle chia and shawn (her bf) like to visit the Andana Spa..

    so then last thursday we were in town with monkey's frens.. somehow the idea of visiting a spa came up, and monkey mentioned Andana.. so we trodded to paragon level 6 to check out the place.. looking at the exterior we were apprehensive abt the cost.. so we jus took the brochure and left..

    later on before i knew it, monkey told me he had booked the spa for today, under uob's feburary package of $353 (before ++) per couple.. which includes
    60min aromatheraphy facial
    45min full body massage
    30min foot reflexology
    complementary usage of couple suite for 3 hrs
    unlimited usage of common facilities (jacuzzi, hot/cold baths, sauna)
    free flow food and beverages
    and we can stay in the place the whole day.. anytime from 11am to 10pm..

    cool isn't it? haha.. normally a facial costs $100, entrance package for one is $148.. so this is quite a good offer for 2 ppl..


    we reached Andana before 2pm (after monkey's class).. our locker number is 31!! the key with pink chain is mine.. the red one belongs to monkey..

    we went our 'separate ways'.. cos the ladies and men area and different side la.. hahaha.. felt so excited lor.. u noe, it's my first time to a spa, then i duno alot of things ma.. but at the same time i must act cool.. so scared that i'll fumble then the svs staff laugh at me.. hahaha..

    turns out the staff are really polite and helpful la.. once i got to the locker area, they bring me to the locker, explained to me what i had to or would like to do..


    my locker.. they even had slippers for me! but they are too big for me.. haha they even have somethign like a safe deposit box if you carry valuables with you.. haha..

    anyhow, the lady who served me was really nice, asking me whether i want to have lunch first, or use facilities first.. she even taught me how to use the facilities.. like 15mins in jacuzzi, then cold dip for a few seconds, steam bath for 15 mins, cold dip again, then sauna, then repeat the routine if i want to.. haha..

    anyway, i'm allowed to take pictures inside.. wow!


    this is the dressing table.. my goodness, they have everything la!! make up remover, hair care products, hair dryer, cotton buds/pads, rubber bands, comb/hair brush. moisturizer... i can't remember.. the whole range of stuff u need all there la.. haha..

    i changed into the erm, i dunno what is that.. robe-like thingy? yep.. took a snap of the common jacuzzi when there's no one inside.. haha


    i tried the facilities after lunch, before our couple suite was ready.. the jacuzzi really comfortable.. haha shiok ar! starting i feel so shy, cos i alone ma.. then later a lady started talking to me.. she oso alone la.. then i feel much better.. once i get used to the place, i dun feel suaku liaoz.. hahah..


    this is jus the shower area la.. haha shampoo, conditioner, body foam all ready in the dispensers!!!

    after some food and drinks and reading magazines and movie watching and roaming abt.. finally we get to go to the couple suite!!


    there's fruits and chocoloates, many magazines to read, private jacuzzi, massage beds, private toilet.. for this package we took up, it's not bad la.. but on ala carte, the suite is actually $120 for 3 hours.. which i thought is really too expensive.. haha.. no tv in the suite.. can get quite boring wan lor..


    we had our facial in the suite.. very peaceful, just the 2 of us and the 2 beautician la.. haha the facial massage was so good i fell asleep.. and the beautician was so nice to explain each step before she start.. the cold gel mask was so refreshing!! haha..

    after the facial we had our massage in another room.. my very first full body massage!! we had a choice between shiatsu or aromatherapy massage.. i chose camomile oil massage at medium pressure.. haha..

    this one i almost fell asleep, especially when she's massaging my arms.. but too cold le la.. cos i only had like 1 towel covering my body? ya.. haha.. she asked if she could twist my neck i and agreed.. i never regret.. it was super duper shiok.. haha.. monkey didn't dare to try it..

    monkey's 'massager' (do we call them that?) said monkey was very tensed up.. haha.. he's not used to ppl touching him all over.. muahahahaha.. *lol*

    on the other hand.. i totally enjoyed the massage.. i thought the 45 minutes was too short! hahah..

    after massage, the hot towel and ginger tea served was very very refreshing.. haha.. then we went to the lounge for dinner, while waiting for our foot reflexology..


    i thought monkey looked abit like japanese mcp in his robe-like thingy wahahaha..


    oh.. this is what i had for lunch.. herbal soup and fried rice.. along with fresh carrot juice and a mushroom with beancurd.. the food is not bad la.. nice to see and nice to eat.. haha..


    yeah! foot reflexology time! whenever we went to the lounge to sit, a staff would approach and unfold a brown towel to cover our legs, serve us water and give us a menu in case we wanted to order food.. they'll also ask if the volume for the movie screening wass alright, if the temperature was confortable.. thumbs up for quality service! hehz..

    the foot reflexology was good.. i love it! hmm, abit painful here and there, but after the whole thing i felt so good, and my calves were thinner than before the massage! hahaha.. monkey wasn't so happy with his.. cos he said very painful.. but i thought he should go for more.. now his toes are so much straighter and nicer looking!

    i had mocha, tuna sandwich, yusheng, mushroom after the reflexology.. yeah! i'm a pig! they even serve macadamia nuts! and hagen daz ice cream!! hahaha.. but paiseh to order more la..so i had one serving of ice cream only.. hehz..

    after dinner monkey went to indulge in the common facilities, while i took my time showering, drying my hair, trying out the hair care pdts and getting changed..


    one last look at the lounge.. this is only part of the lounge.. there's another lounge showing soccer games, mainly for the gentlemen.. haha..

    we left at abt 950pm.. 10 minutes before their closing.. and the bill totalled $370..

    oh ya! one interesting thing.. i suppose the customers who go in couples are usually married? cos they keep referring to monkey as my husband.. the beautician even asked if we were on honeymoon.. haha i was like huh?!?! of cos not la! hahaha..

    Andana.. spa for total relaxation.. the whole place is 22,000 sq ft.. their largest outlet so far.. the rest are in m'sia la.. hehz.. can click here to visit their website for more information.. hehz..

    i enjoyed this experience very much.. if i feel i'm rich enough i'll indulge in being served like a queen again..

    but i'm now more interested in checking out other spas in singapore.. must try new places ma.. then can compare.. hahaha and chose my favorite..

    i really am starting to see how wonderful my life can be in the future.. muahahahha..
