=TRIPLE CELEBRATION=

Damn this entry is gonna take a lot of time! Juz bare with me ya.. it all started last month when we both decided to celebrate our bdays together since it only 16 days apart, and not forgetting our engagement a yr ago :) We thought of going Bintan, or book a chalet... but we're juz so lazy to go thru the booking procedures.. Very leceh. We like things fuss-free.. and so i went hotel hunting! Kinda inspired from what Apit did for Myn with the hotel n all.. Requirements for our hotel had to be in town, not dodgy and value for money. And I found it!! Quite amazing actually the hotel! Will tell you more later... And so we booked for a 3 days stay at this hotel. We both took leave for the following Mon & Tues. So we had a really long weekend from Fri to Tues :D
But nope that's not all... My dear Azrull has no idea what I planned for him, including a reservation I made earlier at this restaurant ;)

Oh wanna see my prezzie from him?? hehehe... We bought each other simple stuff coz we had to save the money for our mini holiday... i bought him this earpiece which caught his eye, and he got me this! I cant believe he actually remember how it caught my attention and how much i like it!






Hehe!! I'm a bear person la.... i even named it Slumber!! Isn't it super cute hugging the blankie?? Thank you syg!!


So shall i begin my story? I’ll start off from last Thursday aite? K this day has nothing to do with hubby, its bout my mum, my sis n me! We went for our appointment with the doc for... a chemical face peel!! hehe, finally we did it. K it's something like micro-dermabrasion but instead it uses chemical. It removes the surface of the skin, so that it will reveal new skin underneath. The effects? Reduce fine lines, uneven tone, remove scars, oiliness... basically juz having better brighter skin la. But ofcoz it’s not a one-time miracle thingie. Have to go 3-4 more times :) One word of adv... Dun do it juz before a major event. Like me :( Doc advice me not to go under direct sunlight n apply loads of SPF!! Arghh!! How am I going to go out with him the next day?? It's his bday!!!
My plan was to meet him at his house, so-called pick him up since it’s his day n all. But little did he know that I would be making a little detour to get this particular cake that I want him to taste. It's my all time favourite cake n I hope he likes it too.


So after getting the cake and trying so hard to avoid the sun… I made it to his lift lobby, where I squat at the stairs while removing the cake from the box and sticking the bday sign on the cake… I’ll make do without the candles coz… I’m afraid the winds too strong and I dun have a lighter.. heh.. his neighbour saw me and he must be thinking I’m mad fussing around with a cake… Aniways… i called him to open the door for me… but instead his mum did… and when he saw me, I tell u, his expression was priceless! Muahaha!!! Happy Happy Happy!! I told him that he has to eat a slice if not we’re not leaving the hse… so he cut the cake, and enjoyed his cake.. he even told me not to disturb his enjoyment… bla!! His mum thanked me for bringing him a cake too... :) And off we went to look for his shoe that he's dying to get. They're not bad actually.


And now the start of our fantastic holiday! I'll try to have lesser words and more visuals here aite.. I was lucky to stumble upon this hotel, it's only 3 months old! The stay includes breakfast, lunch and dinner at their restaurant, items in mini fridge are free and replenished daily, free internet access, free local calls, free laundry services... and... they pick u up from any destination in S'pore and drive you to the hotel, free. Did i mention it's a black Mercedes... :)


I arranged for the chauffeur to pick us up at hubby's plc about 2pm. His name is David. We're so excited!! Here's a sneak peak of the hotel...




A little mishap was that the reception lady told us that our room wasn't ready... i mean... y did we bother to book in advance if it cant be ready right?? Azrull was getting really annoyed, and luckily the lady offered drinks for us while we wait at their restaurant.


Brownie Icecream

Apple Struddle

still abit pissed
Water Feature
Open-concept restaurant
Guava Juice

Better :)

About 30min later, the lady gave us access cards and showed us to our room. Inside, she explained the room functions, controls and switches.
Okay i wasn't expecting that! Hehe!
I was surprised when she pushed on the wall and it pops out to reveal a ironing board! Cool! I juz cant wait for her to leave so i can take everything in and explode in excitement!!! The room is gorgeous!!! Mirrors everywhere! I'll show bathroom first k?

This is the entrance of the toilet, where we both are standing. Yup no doors! See the left side of the reflection? its the door of the wardrobe. Slide it over and it doubles up as the toilet door for privacy if you wish.


Check out the sink! And the toiletries!! There's for morning bath and for night bath. Shaving kit, sewing kit, even cotton pad and cotton buds :)


Behind the sink is a full length mirror, towel rack and further in is the bathtub and shower!


I'm now sitting between the tub and the shower area with a glass door.


And notice the huge glass window behind me? Yup, you can see right thru to the bed :)
There's even a speaker in there so you can have a bath and watch TV at once! Dun worry, for more privacy, there's a manual blind for you to pull it down.


Syg i can see you!!
I really lurve the bathroom! And hubby says he's gonna have this bath design for our future home too :D

In the wardrobe.. Robes and slippers provided, umbrella, torchlight, shoe-shine and a safe.


A secret storage wall for the ironing board!


So coming out from the bathroom, here comes the rest of the room. Here i am busy taking pics and there he is watching TV. Hello?? You can watch it at home lor....


Big LCD screen :)


Ahh... the bed... It's super soft and cozy, like a King-sized marshmellow... Mmmm...


Ou!! Now there he is playing with the switch for the auto blinds...


Syg, hate to say this but... no matter how many times you press it, it's still going to go up and down... :)


It's quite a clever thing that we cant really see into the bath through the glass, coz it's slightly tinted. Coolness!!


Told you there were lot of mirrors...

The view from our window

My turn to take a breather and enjoy the view ;)


We spent the afternoon watching TV, and hubby took a short nap to recharge coz he rushed back from work. We left the hotel for the dinner reservation i made for that night at Bugis :D





I lurve the lift lobby! Mirrors again!!
We heart this hotel!!
Oh ya he's wearing his new shoes, hehe!
In case you're wondering wat that rectangular box protuding out at the top... it's a swimming pool. Yes. At the twelve story and it's 24 hrs. It is very damn nice!! I'll show you ltr... now we head to the dinner reservation :)


The Lover's Package

The reason i chose this restaurant is coz they took the initiative to create that romantic ambience for the mood of the occasion. They even went a step further to publicise their wedding services on our table... hahha.. This is my second gift to hubby, for always surprising me with gifts even if it's not my bday :)


Look at how touched my hubby is... :) He said no one has ever done this for him before...
Aww... gosh i was blushing too man!

Hehehe... he's always up to sumthing...
Starters!
Light Button mushroom Soup
Cream of Tomato Soup
Dig in!
House Caesar Salad
Main Course!
Baked Fish
Enjoy!
Grilled Sirloin Steak

Desserts!
Chocolate Fondue



yummy!

Cheers to everlasting lurve!!


We had a splendid time that night! We had a good night's sleep and even woke up late and missed our breakfast. Typical la!! ahha.. But we're in time for lunch. Food was great and filling. We were gonna catch a movie at town later on so we explored the twelve storey where the amenities were :)
Cam-whoring time!
While waiting for the elevator...

In the elevator...
I like this shot!

And here we are at level 12!! First we check out the Steam room...
Then the Sauna...


And the gym...
Next to the gym outside, there's a chill out area with sofas....
and.... wait for it.... wait...

And the swimming pool ofcoz!!
The pool is like a glass box with amazing view.
Isn't it nice!!

I really cant wait to jump in the water!!
Estatically Elated!!


Then off we went, a 10 min walk to orchard. Watch Wolverine!! Nice nice! Then head back to the hotel for dinner. Do you know that because of security, only hotel guests can enter using the access card through the lobby entrance? Cool ah! Feels like we're staying at a super condo! And we sometimes forget that we're in Singapore. Mebbe coz of the location, the hotel is secretly hidden in the hearts of orchard, where not many people would chance upon :)


Needless to say, we eventually got a dip in the pool (at 12am!), tried the steam room (sweat like crazy!), and there's no staff there to eye on us. Total freedom and trust. We even managed to drag ourselves out of bed for breakfast! We both had fun throughout our stay and we have no regrets coming here. It's all worth it! And you bet we're coming back to stay in this hotel again in future. It's service is really up to standard. We're not surprised that the rates will be increased when it's become more publicised. It's only 3 months old! No wonder not many has heard of this.
Hopefull we could stay longer the next visit, mebbe 1-2 weeks? heheh...


So in a blink our 3 days fun is over. It's so unbearable to leave the place... i'll miss the marshmellow king-sized bed... hubby misses the comfy slippers... hehe... We'll look forward to the next visit... soon!!


Still in holiday mood, we watched another movie called the horsemen at Vivo, had our dinner, then finally cabbed home. It was a monday night. Well, still have Tuesday on leave :)


Hubby came over my hse and we had a DVD marathon. I like spending time with hubby juz lazing around like this. Very peaceful. :)


This was how my mini holiday went. Splendid. Awesome.satisfying.
Consider it as our birthday prezzie for each other :)



As for now...
