Interested in getting a Brazilian WAX? For First Timers... you must come to Revive Wellness and especially ask for Lynn...
I guess many have definitely heard of brazilian waxing and it is always associated with pain, but I'm quite sure its worth the effort... after which you could see your tropical rainforest bare with baby smooth skin....
You need some courage to do such kind of waxing and Lynn is very assuring and accomodating...
When i first stepped in Revive wellness, the soothing aroma of the essential oils soothes me from my rush rush. It is not Huge but its very cosy. The lighting and interior design brings about a relaxing atmosphere, immediately I felt calmness within me.
The ladies working there were helpful and nice. They showed me to a spacious restroom where I can wash up and slip into the comfy 100% SILK Jap Style Bathrobe.. It was very sweet and I have since decided to get myself a couple of those beautiful comfy robes.
I was then showed into another room when Lynn introduced herself and brief me about the procedure.. She even provided me with cushions and asked me if I was comfortable. She is very assuring and resourceful as she made use of many nominal things to prop me up in many ways and it was very very comfortable.
First she covered your legs with a warm towel and trimmed the area. She did it so gently that there was no need for embarassing feelings. Then she applied some cool lotions.
I really liked the different creme being applied. There was one for clensing, one to numb and one to soothe... When the wax is being applied, it was warm and very SHIOK.. and then the ripping part in which is quick and it sure did remove alot of hair, best of all, you could see the white heads of the hair (Sense of Establishment).
It felt exactly like when you get smacked on your thighs. Its like a one time pain, BEARABLE yet it goes away real QUICK and leaves a nice bare portion. The whole process was so quick and I was very very comfortable. The soothing music and comfy environment made me a little sleepy despite the supposedly aggitating process. Lynn was really attentive to my emotions and needs. She made the whole process such a brisk and fun one.
The wax has got different flavours. The one i choose is the Strawberry one... Its a nice pinky tinge and its very soothing. They do have the chocolate version for it, and if you like it chocolatie you can ask them for it. The wax they use is unlike other kinds. It rips off cleanly and does not leave ugly wax bits behind. Unlike strip Waxing, Soft Wax rids hair more cleanly and drags the roots up with them rather strip wax is just acting on the surface.
After the wax, they offer me nice cup of ginger tea and it just completes the whole experience. The other I like about their service is that they are not pushy to buy their packages. Everything is so relaxing and simple. I'm sure to bring my friends back there again.
Its fun and the afterward effects are Fabulous.......

If you love Kong Bak Pau.. (Braised Pork Bun) then WESTLAKE should be a farmiliar name to you. Being the winner of the excellent food award, westlake sends their braised pork bun everywhere. Many might have tasted their yummy buns but had never seen or eaten in the restaurant before.
WESTLAKE, a very old yet very good restaurant serves fabulously YUMMY traditional chinese food in every style. It is situated at the OLD HDB houses at queen's street in between farrer road and bukit timah road. Humble looking yet thriving with customers. I especially loved the outdoor sits as during a cool day, you could really enjoy the nice breeze, have your chinese tea and delectable crabs as well as the wonderful attention of the many waiters and waitresses... I could say their service is fast and good. For traditional chinese restuarants, i always face the problem of catching the attention of the waitresses and they usually come with an attitude. But here at WESTLAKE.. it seemed so different.
I also love to order the braised pork bun and usually have to DA BAO some back home. The soft moist buns filled with tender dark squares of glistening plush belly meat in tasty dark sauce is simply too irrisistable. I love how juicy it was when i bite into it while the meat is thinly slices and it simply melts in your mouth. These buns are not small... They are actually pretty huge when compared to other pork buns.
If you like chinese food, this is really a place to go. I would suggest go ALFRESCO if you can. There are also many other dishes like dim sum, crabs, hot and sour sichuan soup which are all yummy to choose from.
Food so good... its hard not to recommend my friends there......

If you like fishing, there are just a few places to go to in singapore. One of these places will be West Lake Fishing Village. There are plenty to do there instead of just fishing for fishes, you can also fish for prawn and there is arcade and snooker or pool for the entertainment of the entire family.
They are open almost 24 hours but you can either fish for a 4 to 6 hour time slot or get the 12 hour slots.... I tried fishing there once for the overnight fishing. It is an interesting place especially during weekends. You can see anglers using all sorts of tactics and baits just to capture those poor fishes.
You must note the time when they release the fishes from the cages as these fishes come hungry.... Everybody is busy and it is an excellent place to meet fellow anglers and exchange experiences and tactics.
Most fishes there are KIM BAK LOR... but there are some other species but very sparse.. I really nice place to hang out if you would just wanna relax and try something different other then cheonging every night.
They sell almost everything at the small shop there.. baits, accessories and rental of rods......
For the FUN n FOR the experience...

Challenger is a popular chain with a few stores around Singapore. They sell computers, computer peripherals, mobile phones, televisions, etc.
Dropped by today to get a webcam for my sister. They have quite a selection there from those "branded" ones to the lesser known ones. Needless to say there's a range of prices to suit your budget.
I found what I needed then proceeded to look for Data transfer cables... I went over and saw a whole rack of it... I didn't see the kind that I needed and asked the salesperson about it. He then pointed to the same rack I had just walked from. He made no move to walk over and show me which one.
Thinking that I might have remembered wrongly, i just took one that said data transfer... and consulted him again (I walked over to where he was) then he said... 'ya ya this is the one." I explained my purpose to him again and he just nodded his head. Then I explained how I used to see that there was a box thingy... then he gave a puzzled expression, walked away without saying anything and consulted a lady nearby. The lady replied loudly, "no stock no stock"
I very nearly bought the wrong thing because he refused to listen properly and had poor product knowledge.
This outlet is not as well stocked as the rest as it's much smaller... it also seemed like it had more LCD TVs then computer stuff...

Kobayashi is a small fast food outlet tucked away on the second level of Eastpoint Shopping Mall (near the lift lobby).
It serves up cheap Jap food (priced between $5-$14). They have plenty of one dish meals and some bento sets, along with ala-carte side orders. Their system is really like a fast food restaurant where you have to go to the counter, order and get your food immediately.
Food we ordered
Chicken Katsudon (Fried chicken with rice and egg)
Chicken Katsu Ramen (Fried chicken with noodles in soup)
Beef Ramen (Beef with noodles in soup)
Ice Green Tea
The Chicken Katsu was very crisp and tasty. The rice was soft and slightly sticky, as what is expected of Jap food. As for the Chicken Katsu Ramen, the noodles was fine. But the serving was small so my companion ordered a Beef Ramen after finishing his first bowl. They had more people then and the food became nasty. The ramen in the second bowl was overcooked and all stuck together... The beef was almost non-existent.
We paid about $20 and finished our food in under 20 minutes. It was ok but not really value for money. Good alternative if you're sick of Macs or BK...

I was really surprised that there is such a fabulous place in an area so ULU...... I was told by my dad that i could get a good servicing for my car at the AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY shop just opposite the OLD TAMAN JURONG SWIMMING POOL.
And so, I went. It was easy to locate as they had a big LOGO stating GOOD-YEAR TIRES outside their shop.... It is huge. As i drove in shortly after lunch hours, there's this really nice guy that came to ask me how can he help. So i told him i want to do servicing and he asked politely if he could help me get my car on the plateform... I was already impressed....... So i alighted and stood by my car when another service personnel showed me into a large aircon sitting area with a pantry and coffee machine. I was very impressed.
After making myself a coffee, i got myself sitted in front of the LCD TV to watch some news and there were various magazines of every topic available to view. I was happie as i am sure I will not be bored while waiting.
There was a very clean toilet and power plugs if you need to use your lap top to do some work. Shortly afterwards, one guy came in to advice me on the car. He told me how he would service my car and asked if i wanted to change the tires as they checked and found them quite bald. So i agreed and they cleaned the tire areas and portion of my under carriage. On top of that, they also balanced my tires and fixed them to perfection.
I was very happie with the intense effort they put into servicing my car. They also carry a wide variety of products such as tires, RIMs, high end wipers, car washing and maintenence liquids, etc etc etc....
For the value for money and good job they do to my car, plus the very nice environment to laze while waiting with plenty of space to move about and beverages to keep you busy, it is hard not to recommend other car owners to visit them......

New York New York is an interesting place.. The beautiful interior designs sets you in a gluttony mood. Though some might get a huge headache with the vast array of colours and designs, it makes me feel rather westerny. I like their furnitures. and seat designs. Though some people might need a little courage to eat in a restaurant LOUD like this, no doubt that, we do see queues all the time.
I was there for early lunch and was glad i could get in without squeezing or queuing... I was seated pretty near to the kitchen and i've got pretty good attention there. I ordered Ribs.... and it was delicious. The serving was enough for two and the sides were great.
The RIBS are honey glazed on the outside till perfectly glowy and the meat was tender and juicy. I had ribs from elsewhere before and lousy ones are usually overcooked with meat so dry and hard on the inside or looked too dead pale on the outside..
But the ribs here were perfectly beautiful on the outside and YUMMY on the inside... I could say they have one of the better RIBS in town.... I would say the price is quite reasonable as the servings were huge. Really good for huge groups to go out together but not so good for business lunches as you might have difficulty talking to each other without shouting. The lightings were too warm if not shining onto the customer's faces and it made me pretty uncomfortable. But for the DELECTABLE RIBS.... perhaps its worth the experience.
Very cool place with a good menu........

Sasa is a store known to many Singapore women. It has a wide variety of beauty products, cosmetics and fragrances. :) One stop for your beauty needs.
I read about the Nu Ren products retailing at Sasa and went there over on Monday to see if I can get my hands on the chilli hot slimming gel etc.
I walked in to a shop with 3 assistants and no other customers. It was a Monday afternoon after all. Quite awed and distracted by the array of things I proceeded to browse every shelf. This store is much smaller than the others though thus have less items.
After some time, I realised that no one has tended to me. I then remembered about my slimming gel and turned around to get the attention of the staff since I couldn't see it anywhere. The staff saw me wave but turned away! I had thought that I was imagining things so I milled around again till I saw that another staff was facing my direction and i waved... and she turned to talk to her colleague!
?! I walked out then.

My companion and I had an hour planned to have dinner at Manhattan Fish Market (MFM) yesterday. Thinking that 1 hour was sufficient, we strolled to MFM only to be confronted by a queue (on a weekday?!!) Sigh... we panicked for a bit as we had a movie in an hour. But the staff assured us that there was enough time so we lined up. We were pleasantly surprised when they handed everyone in the queue a menu so that the process of ordering will be sped up.
Amazingly we were seated in 10 minutes and had our orders taken immediately.
Our Order
2 Soups of the day - Cream of Mushroom
Garlic Bread
Fried Country Mushrooms
Garlic Lemon Mussels
Manhattan Fish & Chips
Mango Juice
Seeing a full restaurant we were afraid that our food would take some time... but the soup arrived before we could whip out our camera! The soup was fine. Not diluted like some places I know. Just nice for a cream soup but it does not have additional ingredients. The garlic bread which was served just minutes after the soup was great. It was done with real garlic not just the butter kind you find at NTUC. Very tasty indeed.
The Mushrooms and Mussels came next, just 3 minutes after the bread. The Mussels came in a creamy sauce and was served with more bread for us to dip in the sauce. The mussels were fresh and the sauce was just right. Not overly creamy. The highlight was the mushrooms. At first glance, they weren't very much to look at... fried little things... but when you bite down... the mushrooms were SO JUICY! It was amazing! I love mushrooms and would definitely order them if they were available everywhere i go and this is by far the most delicious mushroom dish I've ever tasted. A Must-Order!
Then came our Fish and Chips... One look and I knew it would be good. The light batter melted in my mouth thus wasn't too thick. The fish was a light pink with great texture and no fishy smell. The fries were well seasoned, not just with salt but some other spice which I couldn't make out. And they were the thick sort which I love and were not covered in oil. A great deal at $9.90 really.
Throughout the meal, our iced water was constantly topped up and when we finally managed to whip out our camera, one of the servers magically appeared to offer to take the picture for us. They had smiles on their faces throughout despite being so busy. It was a fantastic experience.
We paid $52 for the two of us (we ordered a lot le), got out of the restaurant in 35 minutes (in good time for our movie).
** My companion was full of praises for this place and mind you he would normally reject 9 out of 10 new places we try. :) Don't I deserve something for such a fantastic review written? hehe

If you like Jazz, Jazz at southbridge is the place to go.
It is just situated above coffee bean near the underpass crossing. You could see a small door and a stairway, walk up and you will reach a beautiful and cosy hall. It really gives you a colonial ambience and the spacious environment with comtemporary interiors designs is hip yet with a tinge of history.
If you are there earlier in the evening, you might want to sit and chill with a pint of ice cold beer while enjoying the top down view watching padestrians straddle along the side walk near the river.
But if you can wait till the band starts, thats where the action really is. The band is usually made up by well known experienced musicians playing as sessionist. The house band is also made up by a group of very experienced and talented musicians. It is really good quality music while you could see the mischievous look on the musician's faces, they are only leisurely JAMMING...
Very good music i should say and wonderful ambience. Be it with clients, friends or loved ones, it is really a very good place to chill out and catch up with them. Tehe beverages are not too pricey and there is no cover charge. The snacks are very good, fresh and crunchy. You might wanna ask for more MARUKU......
Definitely a NONO for big noisy groups.....
Music so good.... It is definitely a MUST RECOMMEND.......
