Fish Spa in Singapore
I have been wanting to try it since it came out in Singapore but I haven’t have the guts yet. I was wondering if it way safe, hygienically speaking.
What if the person before me had eczema or something. I have some acquaintances who have done it and swears it is something I should really try. So I read a bit about it and I am now convinced. I now know that it is safe as the fishes only consumes the dead areas of the skin and it leaves the healthy skin to grow. I hope to try it this weekend for my birthday.
Here in Singapore, 10 minutes cost $10. I will let you know how it went.

Can you stomach this?
Last weekend was a busy one for us. My mom and my brother’s friend are leaving on Monday so we showed them around Singapore and they were lucky to be here in time for the Thaipusam Festival. I knew they would enjoy witnessing this event.

I love the Indian culture – the food the clothes and the festivals are just amazing!
Singapore Events this Week : Thaipusam
Last year I witnessed for the first time Thaipusam - an Indian celebration, in honor of Lord Subrahmanya who represents virtue, youth and power and is the destroyer of evil. A few days before the procession itself, there will be stalls on Serangoon Road.
This event is really something, a very fascinating festival to watch but not for people with weak stomach. We might go and watch it this weekend again as we have some visitors…I think it will make an impression on them. If you are also in Singapore, and would like to see it, check the details below:
