Before, I thought the word &#8216;spa&#8217; has more things to do with flower bath, a room with aromatherapy scent and burning candle, body scrub, etc..<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Their acupressure technique was just right, the pressure was exactly my body needed, the smell of their coconut oil made me&#8230;.hungry :p<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It would&#8217;ve been nicer with a soft balinese bamboo gamelan background, and an aromatherapy oil scent, but the most important thing my body needs to experience is the perfect Rubdown &amp; right pressure. I got it all here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some would say this is more like a spiritual encounter rather than just having a nice massage, for me it&#8217;s simply a way to pamper yourself after one year of hard work at the office, this is my &#8216;annual bonus&#8217; to reward myself, at a perfect stunning place like Karma Spa &#8211; totally recommended for spa lover !<\/p>\n<p>Clinton, Michelle, Benny, thank you so much!<\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_HxGHbJlbyLI\/SSmJbK1_wHI\/AAAAAAAAABg\/DtnUo5PmB7k\/s1600-h\/namos+view+from+karma+spa+hut.jpg\" onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271895938674180210\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_HxGHbJlbyLI\/SSmJbK1_wHI\/AAAAAAAAABg\/DtnUo5PmB7k\/s200\/namos+view+from+karma+spa+hut.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!--CusAds-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes you need to give yourself a special treatment to pause from your hectic life and daily routiny at work.
