My Birthday

Sunday was my birthday but then because Sunday is usually church and family dinner, so its rather troublesome to celebrate. WF decided to pushed forward to Friday where he took leave and we spent the afternoon out without the kids.

We started off the lazy afternoon with spa therapy at Dempsey Hill. There's a spa that occupies one of the barracks building called House. Its a really nice place with many massage rooms. All the rooms come with a view of the greenery surrounding Dempsey. Though the outside of the building looks old, the interior is decorated with simple yet classy furnishing. There are even art pieces installed in the spa. They offer many services from the head to the toe. And I treated myself to a full body massage plus a foot sculptor.

US market had a bad week and Ning had high fever since Tuesday. So we were in need of a good rest and massage. I'm not sure whether the massage was good or we're really tired but both of us fell asleep during the treatment.

The foot sculptor was a new experience for me. Where the male therapist uses a special knife to scrape away my thickened skin at the base of my foot. The knife itself is unlike anything I've seen. Its long like a chopstick and wide like a filer. And apparently, this has to be done by males because females don't possess the required skills. Say I'm sua-ku or what. But this is rather popular with people in Beijing and WF had even done this during one of his trips. At the end of the treatment, I am left with smooth-feeling feet.

Dinner has to be something I like and I have this thing about Big Mac and beef steak (especially fillet mignon). So its beef steak at The Prime Society in Dempsey as well. Can't say much about the standards of the food (those of you who know WF's taste bud) but the service is good.

Added bonus is, on Sunday after church, I get to eat my other favourite food: Lor-mee (no prizes for guessing what are my top three favourite food).
