Theft at Amore Fitness (Plaza Singapura Branch)

I know it is my fault, I shouldn't have left my bag unattended. 


But it's not my first time leaving my bag like this at the usual spot. 


No one was at the gym during the time (except the PTs), class just started & I'm certain that no one was using the shower room nor hanging at the lockers. 


Everything happened so fast, so the person must know Amore Fitness well. This thief should be one of the staff. It must be. I'm sure. However, Amore Fitness did not try their best to help me, instead they push my problem around and left me holding on the line for half an hour and no one attend to me. Next day, the manager called again saying she would check the CCTV, which to this date, I still have no news on it. I would appreciate if you guys, (be responsible abit) let me know about it, whether have or don't have. 


It's my 5th year with them, their customer service is getting bad to worst. Are they even being trained properly before they are hired or they are only trained to "hard-sell" people? 



To the thief: I take it I donate to the charity because I think u are in need of paying your medical bills or you have never own a PRADA in your life. However, there's a dark secret on that wallet. Walk in to any PRADA store, you will know why. =) 


And lastly, thank you for taking my identifications too! I'm still hesitating to change because of the way I look now but I didn't because I want to keep the classic photo of me. Now I can haz everything new =D

Staycation at Santa Grand Hotel - East Coast Review

 Yes, this is another deal voucher review =P 

Hubby & me desperately want to have a short gateway but both us have to be in Singapore because of our work. Initially we wanted to buy the Equarius Hotel deal which includes USS tickets, but weather in Singapore hasn't been good & may spoil the fun. So instead we bought this deal.




Making reservation was easy, just email them the details and they get back to me within 2 days. However 3 days before my arrival, I called for confirmation again (just to be sure) but the front desk told me to call after 9am (because I called at 830am). This whole thing sound weird and I didn't call back again. 

 Check-in was smooth on our arrival (phew! lucky no mess up despite the weird front desk earlier) Front desk are attentive to our enquries and we were told to pay a $50 deposit. Location was good because there are so many famous food nearby, and opposite is Katong 112 Shopping Centre. 


Room for the night. 


Was expecting a bathtub .... =( 


Roof top swimming pool. We should have bought along our swimming wears! Nice view from the top.
Review: room was clean & decent, kind of what we expected, just that there is no bathtub as shown in the photo at their website. It was a pleasant stay for us.

After checking in, both us are hungry. Guess what's for dinner?

My Nails @ Far East Plaza Review

Since Chinese New Year is coming, I decided that I should get some nails extension. As a perfectionist, I have to look at my very best in every occasions but don't want to burn a hole in my pocket. Visiting Groupon / DEAL.com.sg sites has become my hobby and also I don't feel that I have to commit myself at a certain place. 

1 X Option 3: One Session of Gel Pedicure



1 X Option 7: Nails Extension with Gel Manicure 



Review: Called immediately to make the appointment and I was able to get the time & slot I wanted, probably it wasn't the "peak" yet. There are a total of 2 branches, Orchard Plaza & Far East Plaza. I opt for Far East Plaza because I don't have problem fighting for carpark lots. Overall I had a pleasant session with them, atmosphere was good because the manicurists were chatty too. They do approach you to buy their packages but they don't hard sell, that's what we are looking for. =) 

Skill wise, like the saying: "you pay peanuts, you get monkeys". Not much complain~ 


1 week after the extension. I top up for the glitters at $20.
Manicurist says it can last me till Chinese New Year. 

Absolutely love this pastel green, so refreshing!

Secret Wellness @ Hougang Review

Bought 2 vouchers from DEAL.com.sg for hubby & me. 


2 X 1 Session of 60 min Relaxing Foot Reflexology with Detoxifying Foot Soak.

The SPA experience was overall a pleasant one & probably the most accessible location EVER for me. 



Location was easy to find because I drove pass a few times and know they are located at the back door. Do give them a call them so they can direct you the directions! 
Address: 683 Hougang Avenue 8 #01-895 
Tel: 6387 7729



  Along the way up to 2nd floor. Papers on the board are handwritten testimonials from their customers.



Rooms for massage. For foot reflexology are usually done at the open area in front of the counter. 



I would recommend this to people buying vouchers from Groupon / DEAL.com.sg. I like that they don't hard sell and even ask you to come back to try all their trial facial & massage. I will be trying the Hot-Stone massage next time. Had a quick browse at their packages, seem appealing and reasonable too. However I am a little disappointed that I went there at 11am but finish the session at 1150am, not even 60mins as claim. Masseur is good because I request for strong force and she is able to do it.  Do share your experiences with this SPA! :)
