[quote=\"ammonite\"]Harlequin,


Where do you go for your massage? I am in need of one.

i would like to try that hot stones massage...but very scared of therapists trying to hard sell packages while i am trying to relax and enjoy.

Hi, Ammonite and Janet.

I go to Lifespa for facial cum body massage, they used to be at Pacific plaza but now they moved to TripleOne at Somerset. They tend to hard sell a bit; that's why my package can never finish utilized cos always asked to top up :faint:

Another of my fav place is the Traditional Balinese Massage at Balmoral Plaza, their deep tissues massage is heavenly; ginger rub and hot stones are my favorite too. There is no hard sell at all here, the angmohs usually pay per visit; but if buy their store credits, the discount can be quite a saving.... eg. 60mins for $60 but if you pay by credit it would works out to be about $42. Quite worth it.

For foot massage I go to Footworks, the Orchard branch at International building, nice ambience. No hard sell too. Though they offer body massage too but I have not tried yet.

Have a blessed day, everyone. :grphug:[/quote]I love foot massages! Thanks for sharing!!

thanks ladies for all the replies. glad that most of you are having ME time.


maybe need advice on how to squeeze Me time out.

wkdays for me is 7am wake kids up for school/childcare, bring them there, then go to work. after work fetch them home let them have dinner which is mostly ard 7-8pm++ then bathe them and let them rest a while before gog to sleep at 9-10pm.

my kids are 2.5 and 5yo. got no car and no helper and no parents to help. both my wife and I are working.

the only time i can squeeze out is either i slp late (after kids slpt) or i wake up early like 5am to have my own ME time. but things that can be done are all limited as kids are sleeping.

wkends is kids time and their enrichment time and revision time. there are a little ME time when they are in classes for their enrichment. which I spent watching dramas. about 90mins.

can my situation squeeze anymore ME time?

we go to Body contours for massage. had a package there. sometimes hard sell are unavoidable but we rejected most of the time. we top up once since 2010. so far i m happy with their therapists…

Oh, SBKS is a daddy.

Daddy wants what sort of me time?
My husband 'me time' starts straight from after dinner as I am a sahm to ensure kids don't need to dad's time unless for play. His me time is usually spent on games, surf net,he can play computer and handheld games at the same time. After kids sleep, we retire to the room for drinks, I watch tv, he play some more games or surf with his phone and watch tv with me and we chat random stuff that pops up. Then bedtime for him while I go prepare for next day stuff. He enjoys hearty lunch alone as part of his me time. Weekends, we head off different places to send different kids to enrichment .that is me time for us although we prefer it to be couple time. It helps that I have free SMS so just update each other. He used that time to surf net or play games.....again. :faint:

It gets better when your younger goes to primary school if you can establish routine and independence. After dinner and homework, my primary one boy will have his free time till bedtime. He can entertain himself with a book or drawings. So hang on for another four years!

thumbs up, pops

not really sure how you can me time

what do you like to do?

I take walks, jog (when I feel like it) and sometimes cycle to the town centre after kids have slept

once in a while....really once in a while on Fri nights I will play action packed computer games and wife plays with me

Yes, by taking turns.
Ask your wife to take care of both kids on a day you both agreed on, for a couple of hours.
You can use that 2 hours to chill out somewhere (not too far away from home so that you can react quickly if you need to rush home)
And you can do the same for your wife on a separate day that both of you agreed on. She needs ME time too.

Start with once a week. See if manageable.
