You’ve worked hard, lived hard, played hard, loved hard & ran the marathon in bright successful colors. By the time you pause and wonder what you have through the years, you’d see an old old buddy needing, IF NOT, wanting your attention. That’s your body!
By this time, your body is about to put you ON HOLD. And chances are you may not enjoy the victory of a long life.
Spas tend to be classed in two extreme ways - either cheap and cheerful (and you can think of the eerie hole-in-the-wall outlets in malls or as an appendage to a derm clinic or a health gym) and there’s the ultra deluxe (spas rated as “five stars”. Sadly, there is no middle ground to rest the majority. In Asia, there are some other “spa attractions” that features the blind, the old & the “hilots” (but that’s another story).
Hongkong features these five star spas as “boutique spas”, it is harder to believe that HongKong is offering such upon entering the flagship retreat on Arbuthnot Road. An instant sense of calm melts away the last traces of outside commotion. The little touches, which include Indian custom-made brass-plated doors and bowls, Japanese glass sculpting, Balinese water features, Thai Buddha statues and piped music in each treatment room, certainly add to the inviting ambience too.
Oh you haven’t heard how you could just float away the hours, giving your body the attention it has NEVER… NEVER… had all these years. Indulge in their signature treatments, such as the two-hour luxurious Cappuccino Awakening Wrap, followed by a Deep Calm Massage and Exotic Rose Milk Jacuzzi Bath. They highly recommend the massage, which concluded with a spine-tingling combination of scalp massage and hair stroking. Talk about saving the best for last.

Went to Barne’s and Noble today to drink a cup of Starbuck’s peppermint chocolate and to read MacWorld. I’ve just browsed through the first few pages when my daughter tugged my shirt to say “Dad, can you help me find Waldo?”. I knew what I was in for and I new I wouldn’t read my [...]
We all remember how good ‘ol mom would always remind us to “brush your teeth before going to bed, dear”, or “use toothpaste for heaven’s sake” or “would you please brush your molars too?”. It was good for mom to do that, if they didn’t I think half the world (or even more) would be [...]
