<![CDATA[Fish Spa]]>Has anyone gone on those Fish Spas before? My friend's family and mine had our first try of Fish Spa on National Day and we thoroughly enjoyed it even though my friend and her DD initially were very squeamish about the ticklish sensation when we first dipped our feet in! Some photos to share ...

Hi 25hourmaid,

I couldn't agree more with you.
SAHM are maids with no pay, no annual leave, no MC, no CPF, no retirement and not only that, still must think of the family even if we are sick. This is maid abuse which should be reported to MOM.
:lol: :lol: Real maid abuse indeed! Must go and gather all the SAHMs and then we charge to the MOM to report that we have been abused over and over again all these years! Not only by our husbands but by our kids as well! :lol: :lol:
janet_lee88:
There was once my daughter spread virus to me...brought her to see the GP and forgot I was equally sick too. The medication I have at home couldn't cure me, so had to go back the same night 😒
Totally agree with you on this matter! Even when we ourselves get sick from the virus that our kids passed to us, we still have to look after them!

Tell you a joke. There was once I was really sick and was hospitalised and co-incidentally at that time, my younger boy was down with stomach flu and was vomitting badly. Because I was not at home and we could not leave him alone at home since he was on MC, so you guess what we did?

My husband would bring him to the hospital to stay with me in the room (luckily was a single room) during the day and take him home after work and whenever the nurses came into my room, they would also check on him too and said between mother and son, don't know who was the one that was more sick! :lol:

Oops, we are drifting away from the fishes ..... :lol: :offtopic:

Really, did not know it was expensive, thought it should be about the same, I saw Kenko had another fish spa at 313..

Yes, hope to see you around! πŸ˜‰
No, I am not saying that it is expensive because we did not go to the one at the Flyer, but I am saying that it might be expensive considering the location and the rental there. Both Flyer and 313 are not places with cheap rental, in my opinion.

Suggest that you do not go to the Fish Spa at the Flyer, have a feeling it'd cost you an arm and a leg, considering the rental there! :roll:


Haha, nice chatting with a fellow \"maid\" too! :love:

jasmineong:
Ok, must try..at least must experience it once πŸ˜‰

Yes, must try it at least once, just for the experience and fun of it. I enjoyed the experience and was telling my friend that maybe we should go back once every few months to get those dead skin off our feet! πŸ˜‰
jasmineong:
Yes, it is only now I have some time and quiet to myself.. actually I know of some stay home mums who give up their careers and dreams for the kids but then once the kids grow up, there is nothing much for them to look forward to...aiyo, I dont want to be like that..must have a life still.
Now you are the only sounding like a 25hourmaid! Still wide awake at 3plus in the morning, chatting here! πŸ˜‰
jasmineong:
I agree, there is no mc and all, no break..but the joys outweigh the pain many times so although we are 25 hour maids, it is worth it..but ministry of manpower should give us subsidy for doing this haha..or some other ministry...we stay at home, save the trouble of building more daycares etc..I think I am just rambling.. sorry, just happy to 'talk' to some adults here πŸ˜„
Yes, no MC, no break and whatsoever from a \"maid\"'s job, but like you said, the \"investment\" is well worth it, right? Given a choice, I would do the same thing all over again.

Haha, there was a Mother's Day's article in the papers a few years back and said if we full time mums were to be paid a salary for the amount of work we do at home, it can easily have 4 zeros behind! πŸ˜‰ My friends and I were laughing away and said how true! :lol: Maybe it's time to start getting a payslip from our husbands? :idea:

Oops, we are :offtopic: Better get back to topic - fish spa! :lol:

25hourmaid:

My friend's 14 year old daughter was all squeamish when she first put her feet in as she found the experience too ticklish and in the end, wasted the money. :stupid: Luckily we did not buy a ticket for all of us, so another person took over.

Her 11 year son, however, found the experience fun and stayed in the pond throughout the half an hour, so I would say it's different experience for different people. My son and I enjoyed every minute of it, though.

Haha, yes, 25hourmaid is very apt for mums like us, right? πŸ˜‰ I always say I am a maid with no pay, no annual leave, no CPF, no retirement and not only that, still must think of the family even if we are sick, right? :lol: I am sure you would agree with me on this too! πŸ˜‰ Must go and report to the Ministry of Manpower for maid abuse! :lol:

Not sure if we are talking about the same place at The Flyer, but yes, there is a Fish Spa there.


Actually the experience is not that bad, so I don't think you need to close both eyes! The fishes won't bite your feet lah, more like nibbling sensation. πŸ˜‰

I would say close one eye if it is just a one off experience, of course, not to go for it every day. πŸ˜‰ Do go and give it a try one day, just for the fun of it. πŸ˜‰

The children can either join in for the Fish Spa or grab a net and fish at their little "longkang" fishing. They can even bring home the fishes at the end!

I tried it in the Siam Aquarium in BKK. You may feel a nip (for bigger size ones). Mostly super ticklish. Me and sis were yowling and grimacing away becos of the odd feeling.

Tell me about that! I have a nice picture of my friend's funny face, but she would kill me if I were to post that here! :lol:

25hourmaid,

Yes, I tried it 2 years back at the shop located at the flyer. I brought my mum and my sis along and i was pregnant then. I was very fun and we had a very good bonding time. Oh, after the fish spa, we actually had feet massage too, and it was my mum's first time having feet massage!

Our feet was so clean and we all felt very refreshed after that!
Yes, agree that it was fun, right? Our feet feel so nice and clean after that right?

You went to the one near the Flyer? Goodness, did it cost you an arm and a leg for one person? :roll:

No, not painful at all, more like ticklish sensation but I pity the poor fishes though - they are the ones who feel the 'pain' at having to have their meal from our smelly feet! :lol:
