  1. It was very spicy and weighed down by brown sugar upon application and I was tempted to wash it off. It kind of reminded me of G&L at this stage. I covered the application site with some vanilla shea butter (excess from my hand) and about an hour after drydown, it became a lovely creamy, maple syrupy, vanilla scent.

  2. Thanks all! Come on over for a massage party! Beware that traditional Chinese massage might hurt if you have yin/yang and blockage issues, etc. you can tell that I am not exactly well versed in this.

     

    It's actually a very small place, just four chairs for foot reflexology and 3 beds for body massage. There is one more bed in a separate room but this room has been taken by the lady employee and I assume that the two guys leave their personal belongings in that room as well.

     

    You see, the deal is that I have to provide lodging and three square meals per day. This is the common pratice for most service industries. As the parlor has beds, most of them will be willing to rough it out a little and sleep in the shop. There is a pantry cum storage at the side and a bathroom for the staff and guests. The 3 staff will continue working at the shop so that's the relief.

     

    @LV, not likely to have a website as its really small and low-key. Due to the location (suburban and within a residential compound of about at least 5000 households), it will continue to operate as a value-for-money joint. High turnover and to charge at market rate as the staff are well trained and skillful.

     

    If I do not hold a full time job and I have time to spare, I might consider doing this for the fun of it as well as to get it out to the "market".

  3. Okay, so one of our masseuses told us that her boss is likely to sell the business. This was about a month ago. She contacted me tonight and told me that two other parties have started discussions with him.

     

    The background is that the owner is a young chap, mid twenties, who spend lots of time on gaming and gambling on the Internet. As a result, he owes the landlord money plus and has not been timely with paying his employees. Therefore, he needs cash to "redeem" himself.

     

    Out of the 3 employees, I know two them, a woman and a man, as they used to massage me until they left to join this guy about 2 years ago. I'm closer to the woman as I know her earlier and she massaged my kids and myself more than the man.

     

    So the question is that what pheros should I wear as I really want to purchase over the business not I don't want to pay too much over the other two bidders. I'm keen in taking over the business as an investment option although my entire family loves massages. There aren't too many shop lots for rent in the compound and the workers have been working in within the compound for at least five years so they already have clients of their own. Finally, many of my colleagues live in the same area and I will be able to gain more new businesses.

  4. @ JOC ~ Yes, I think you will enjoy Orchide!

     

    I really need to cut down on my LP expenses so will 2 bottles be sufficient?

     

    I'm curious about the Hummingbird Nectar. The original is lovely but I think it has some green element, and I may have mistaken, it in that makes slightly less desirable at a certain point of drydown. I wonder what's the new version like.
