Hmmm… Went on a hiatus for awhile, coz I’m lazy to blog.. Wahahaha!!
These few mths fly really fast.. In a blink of eyes, its going to be our Chinese Customary. Been slacking for abit, we got to buck up and get our butt working & planning hard.
Okok.. back to our 3rd Year Hold Hand Anniversary, which was on 18 July 2011.
This year was a splurge. =P But money spent was quite worthwhile. We decided on a staycation at Pan Pac Singapore. As usual, I am the one who did all the booking and liaisons.. Wrote to Pan Pac to indicate that I wanna signed up for their club services and informed that we are celebrating our anniversary in the hope for some ‘surprise’ they can do for us and requested for early check-in.
Yahoo.. The day that I had been waiting for has come…… Reached the hotel and check-in was quick coz I had submitted all my details with one of the customer service before hand. Was given a room 3414 on the Pacific Club floor by the receptionist. Cant wait to faster check out our room.. heheheehehe.. Headed up to 34th floor..
*ding* 34th Floor!! To our surprise, while searching for our room, someone called out our names. He, David, is the Pacific Club Asst. Manager. He had been waiting for our arrival, and he showed us the way to our room.. But wait.. we aren’t heading to 3414 anymore.. We were given a room at 3417, this room is a suite with balcony!! Woo hoo!! He mentioned that bcoz it is our anniversary, he upgraded the room for us, from a normal room to a suite with balcony so that we can enjoy the fireworks from the National Day Preview parade. Chubby Hubby & I were so so so so happily once he showed us to our room and guide us in. The room is big de lor.. With a separate ‘living room’, work area and a cozy sleeping corner.
Their toiletries is branded ones.. Shampoo, shower gel & soaps are all L’occitane. Can’t bear to use, so I brought it home..
The view from our room’s balcony was fantastic.. We could see Raffles Place, Marina Bay Sands & National day parade.
Can’t bear to leave the room & hotel coz I wanna make every $$ worthwhile. But we had to get a quick bite from Marina Sq as both of us still haven’t taken our lunch yet. Lunch was at Jack’s Place bcoz I miss their Lobster Bisque alot.. After makan, we wasted no time.. Headed back to the room again.. Must make it value for money ma.. Hahahahahaa!!!
I was pestering Chubby Hubby to go to check out the lounge even thou we just had our lunch. Club services comes with 24hours club lounge, with high tea & evening cocktail provided. The fridge in the club lounge is filled with juices, yogurt, MAGNUM ice-creams. How to resist leh.. Just walk in to the lounge any time of the day/night, if you are hungry, help yourself to everything in the lounge.. They provide cup noodles too. Stuff in the mini bar in the room is also FOC.
At the Pacific floor, you will feel so loved. Staff seems to be so attentive, with all ready smile. The Manager will find time to make small chats with us to make us feel at home. While at the lounge, we were told be one of the staff that the housekeeping team is cleaning my room and requested us to return to our room 5mins later. However, while heading back to our room, we saw the David happily walking out of our room. From then, I know something isn’t right. Kekekeke..
As we entered the room.. below is what we saw..
Tah dah!! What’s more up the sleeve of the Asst. Manager? We found a cake & champagne on the living room table. The cake has 3 candles on it, indicating that we are ’3 years old’. Really felt so loved by the hotel~~
After slacking in the room and stuffing ourselves with the yummilicious chocolate cake, we headed to lvl 33 to their Sunset lounge to enjoy the evening cocktail. They served light finger food and alcoholic drinks.
From the Sunset lounge, we were about to see some part of the National day parade segment. I always have no luck when it comes to balloting of NDP tix. Bo bian lor, I can only watch from a distance, better than nothing.
Actually the main highlight of the NDP is the fireworks (at least to me).. So I wasn’t very interested to watch the musical portion. Waited for the sun to set and get ready my camera to shoot some nice fireworks on my not so pro digital camera. Caught some pictures of the skyline of Raffles Place, to conclude, Singapore is just too bright. We invited Chubby Hubby’s friend to come up and see the fireworks with us, but, his gf was too shy.. So too bad la Jeffrey, we enjoyed the fireworks with the perfect view.
During the night… Again, being the cheapo me.. I asked Chubby Hubby to accompany me to the 24hrs lounge to make tea to drink before ending our day. hehehe.. who knows.. The Asst. Manager is still so hardworking, still working at 12am. I requested for late check out from him and he immediately agreed to my request. Hooray!!! Our room was extended to 6pm the following day!! Super worth our money spend lor.. I believed if I would to stay at MBS, i wouldn’t even get such treatment. They will forever say no to early check-in, no to late check-out.
Rise & Shine the next day. Breakfast was provided. We had a choice of having our breakfast in room or going to either 3rd or 22nd or 33rd floor to enjoy our breakfast. We decided to head to 3rd floor to have our hearty spread of buffet breakfast. I guess they had the largest breakfast buffet that we had ever since. Hmm.. quite yummy too..
The rest of the day was more slacking & slacking in room. Make use of the TV to watch shows like nobody business.. Time really flies, in a blink of eyes, our lovely staycation had ended!!
I want MORE of this staycation.. But, it’s too costly..
Till then..
