Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay Staycation Blog Review

Sponsored Staycation

DSCF0340

Happy long weekend chewys! I’m back with a new blog entry! If you have read our previous post, you should have anticipated today’s hotel staycation review ya πŸ™‚ The husband and I enjoyed a one night stay at Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay, a splendid 4 stars hotel situated in the heart of Singapore.

DSCF0150

Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay features over 400 rooms which had been recently upgraded, each with a magnificent and amazing view of the Marina Bay, Singapore River, and also the spectacular city skyline of Singapore. We had the luxury of staying in a Premier room on the 22nd floor which is extremely spacious, complete with a balcony which can be accessed upon request for the sliding doors to be unlocked.

DSCF0101

One substantial enhancement of the hotel was the discontinuation of queen sized beds such that there were only king sized beds even in Novotel’s smallest rooms.

DSCF0105

All rooms have been designed to Novotel’s latest standards offering state of the art amenities. I was busy taking photos while misterchewy entertained himself by browsing channels on the LCD televisions with easy media connectivity panel. Oh did I mention that there is complimentary high-speed WiFi too?

Some of the snacks available but are chargeable. FYI, 7-Eleven is conveniently located just downstairs.

DSCF0104

iPod docking station. It’s a pity that it’s not compatible with iPhone 5.

DSCF0282

The bathroom is also quite spacious. I wish I had my wide angle lens with me πŸ˜›

DSCF0324

DSCF0103

I like the colors that Novotel picked for the packaging of the toiletries.

Photo taken and very heavily edited by misterchewy using his iPhone 5. Hahaha. But the photo sure doesn’t lie that it was a hot and sunny day! Perrrrfect for a swim!

DSCF0345

Totally got this resort or holiday feel right? *Sigh*

DSCF0346

DSCF0250

It was nice having a staycation at Clarke Quay for a change! So many pubs and clubs in the area and you don’t have to worry that much about getting drunk because all you need to do is stagger a little to get back to Novotel. Hahaha.

DSCF0253

DSCF0279

The night view from our hotel room is also very nice!

DSCF0270

We got to enjoy the MBS laser show as well. We could have watched the NDP preview fireworks display too but the husband had already made reservations for dinner. Boohoo.

DSCF0287

DSCF0299

Premier room guests get to enjoy Premier Floor benefits all day, such as having access to the newly-upgraded Premier Lounge, complimentary American breakfast, WiFi, express check-in / check-out and complimentary use of the boardroom for those all- important business meetings and cocktail hours complete with free flow drinks and canapes every evening. Premier guests have the option of having breakfast at this Premier Lounge or The SQUARE on level 7, or maybe both if you have the stomach for it.

DSCF0318

DSCF0319

DSCF0288

I admit that I was lazy to get out of bed and told misterchewy to eat breakfast on his own πŸ˜› He chose to have breakfast at the Premier Lounge. We had been to The SQUARE for a brunch tasting last year and the husband concluded that the variety was much wider there even though the Premier Lounge was more exclusive.

Movenpick Heritage Hotel Sentosa Singapore Staycation Blog Review

_MG_7346

Whoohoo! The husband and I were lucky enough to win a two-night stay on Sentosa Island after getting the most number of votes for an Instagram contest, thanks to the support from our friends and readers. It was our very first staycation at Sentosa, and also our first local hotel stay of 2013! πŸ˜€

The hotel was not revealed in the intial stage, but only after I won the contest. Was hoping W Hotel or Capella but I was also contented with MΓΆvenpick Heritage Hotel Sentosa la! πŸ˜› We chose to split our stay so we only stayed for one night. Will be going there again a couple of months later! We like how convenient it was because the hotel is located right next to the Sentosa Express monorail station. Highly recommend this hotel to all, especially tourists visiting Sentosa! You can also get to take tons of photos with our iconic Merlion YO!

_MG_7518

_MG_7550

IMG_7621

The hotel reception was actually located downstairs and one of the female service staff promptly took our bags from us and led us the way to do our check-in at the counter.

IMG_7618

We were given a room on the sixth floor, which is also the top floor.

IMG_7316

Immediately after we putting down all our stuff, we headed to Tanjong Beach Club in our beach wear for some drinks and truffle fries. Oh yeah, all guests staying in MΓΆvenpick Heritage Hotel Sentosa are given complimentary monorail passes in case you wanna get out of Sentosa during your stay. Appreciate the thoughtful gesture!

_MG_7363

The only thing we did other than eat at Tanjong Beach Club was to fall asleep on the sand for about half an hour (believe me, it was not part of the plan) and then we returned to our room to shower and change. Didnt have time for other beach activities because we had a dinner tasting at about 6-ish.

IMG_7306

Let me give you guys a little virtual tour of our hotel room! Ours was a 30sqm Deluxe Room with a king size bed, which felt reasonably spacious for the both of us, as evident in this photo. The room features natural wood furnishings and warm neutral colors which create a calm and tranquil atmosphere.

IMG_7312

IMG_7313

The LCD flat-screen television comes with Bluetooth connectivity but our only gripe is that wifi is chargeable.

IMG_7309

The granite bathroom is equally spacious and has a contemporary vibe which I like.

IMG_7326

With a see-through bathroom door like that, I think it’s gonna be awkward for non-couples to be staying together. At least there is a separate shower room (pictured above) but that would mean you have to change in and out of your clothes in the shower room which can be a tad inconvenient.

IMG_7311

I find that granite is a good idea because its coarse-grained texture gives relatively more friction as compared to some bathroom floors.

IMG_7328

IMG_7318

Dim Sum in the toilet? No laaaa. It’s cute though! Guess what’s inside? πŸ™‚

IMG_7320

The bamboo steam baskets contain bathroom amenities like toothbrush, toothpaste, cotton bud, etc.

IMG_7327

The loofah certainly came in handy in scrubbing away the suntan oil which we had applied earlier.

IMG_7308

Besides the standard minibar and complimentary bottled water, there is also a Nespresso machine, a CitiZ 110 – Fire Engine Red, to be exact.

IMG_7317

Pulling out the drawer reveals an array of drinking utensils. Nice to find wine glasses in there because you will need them if you are celebrating special occasions over a bottle of wine!

IMG_7322

I’m not addicted to caffeine and coffee has absolutely no effect on me. Not sure if that’s a good thing but oh wells. Made a cup of coffee for the fun of it πŸ˜›

IMG_7314

The yukata matches the bedroom slippers. Cute huh?

_MG_7374-horz

Featuring my OOTD! Bought this navy blue maxi dress sometime back but didn’t get the chance to wear it. There’s a peekaboo area around the small of my back. Hahaha. Since we’re on the topic on clothes, Zalora is having a GSS meltdown sale on over 8000 items, and up to 80% off! Often times, I find myself browsing through not just the women’s clothes collection but men’s as well because the clothes are really fashionable and trendy.

_MG_7376-horz

Not forgetting misterchewy’s OOTD! Love the color combination.

_MG_7344

_MG_7615

This is the view of the swimming pool that greeted us the moment we stepped out of our room and looked down. I immediately went, “Wah! So nice leh!”

IMG_7386

And so, we went down to check out the swimming pool.

IMG_7387

IMG_7384

_MG_7552

The gymnasium looks well-equipped.

_MG_7405

We took one of the Sentosa feeder buses to Quayside Isle and it was our first time there! Kill two birds with one stone since we were already at Sentosa.

IMG_7406

Such a pretty sight in the late evening! Kinda like Keppel Bay.

_MG_7460

Our dinner tasting was at Museo, which will be featured separately in another blog post πŸ™‚

_MG_7516

Earlier in the day, we were toying with the idea of catching a late night movie at VivoCity but decided against it because old people wanna go back and sleep liao. LOL. Anyway, we thought that the Merlion looked kinda scary here! Hahaha! Wonder what would tourists think if they came here at night.

_MG_7525

_MG_7527

Was quite amazed that the Merlion changes into a myriad of different colors at night! This is my favourite color!

_MG_7538

_MG_7545

_MG_7561

Showered and hit the sack! The husband and I slept really really soundly. Mine was quite extreme because I had a horrible nightmare. Shall not tell you what I dreamt about but I was crying in my sleep! Woke up and almost drowned in my own ocean of tears. I’m not exaggerating. On a positive note, it shows that the bed was really too comfy that I just continued crying and crying in my sleep, not being able to wake up earlier. LOL. The best part was waking up next to misterchewy and discussing if we should go for a swim or eat breakfast first.

IMG_7619

We decided to eat breakfast first because the buffet closes at 10am! A copy of The Straits Times was found at our door. Can catch up on the news while having breakfast!

IMG_7569

Breakfast buffet was at MΓΆvenpick’s flagship restaurant, Tablescape.

IMG_7568

The full International buffet includes an egg station and in keeping with the hotel’s promise to deliver the best of Swiss hospitality to guests, diners can also select from the Chef’s a la minute menu options.

IMG_7570

IMG_7572

IMG_7573

IMG_7571

IMG_7575

The egg omelette was really good! We will definitely eat this again the next time!

IMG_7576

Equally worthy of mention are the roasted potatoes, sausages and sautΓ©ed mushrooms! Mushrooms were so delicious that I had seconds!

_MG_7580

The husband offered to take a photo of me but I refused because my eyes were kinda swollen from crying. FML. Later people think I siao. Go staycation should be happy why cry until like that. LOL. Ok la you will see some photos of me later πŸ˜›

_MG_7588

Perfect weather for a morning swim! πŸ˜€

IMG_7590

Towels are provided so you don’t have to bring along the towels from your hotel room.

_MG_7593

_MG_7596

_MG_7600

_MG_7613

No goggles also can swim! Don’t play play. I started learning how to swim when I was four years old and I have a National Survival Swimming Award (Gold). Ok la don’t haolian already πŸ˜›

_MG_7602

Our staycation at MΓΆvenpick Heritage Hotel Sentosa was quite a relaxing one although the next time round, I think I wanna go to Wave House Sentosa!

Grand Park Orchard Hotel Singapore Staycation Blog Review

Sponsored Staycation

_MG_9907

Hola chewy chewy friends! The kind folks from Park Hotel Group invited misterchewy and I for a staycation experience review at Grand Park Orchard Hotel about two weeks ago! Guess what? This is our fourth staycation this year! πŸ˜€

_MG_9951

Grand Park Orchard is situated in the heart of town, right smack in the middle of where all the bustling activity is! Its strategic location makes it a very popular hotel choice among locals and tourists because there are so many shopping centres nearby. Do you know that the hot and half naked bodies of the A&F guys are just downstairs?!

_MG_9982

Lobby is on the 4th floor and Grand Park Orchard’s hotel ambassador had already positioned himself outside the lift, waiting to greet us with his dazzling smile. We were promptly showed to our room on level 9.

_MG_0335

We were given an ultra swanky room with high speed Internet access simply by logging in with my name and the password written on the card.

_MG_9883

Our 29 to 32sqm Premium Room was simply gorgeous! We love the floor-to-ceiling glass windows which gave the lofty room a more dramatic and posh feel. And not forgetting the artistic designer wall mural! <;3 – sure beats turning up to the office in downtown Singapore!

_MG_9888

A large glass window for your viewing pleasure. Oh no I meant that you could soak in the tub and watch TV at the same time! What a brilliant idea! πŸ˜‰

_MG_9886

Can the hotel be any more generous than this?! It’s as though someone went grocery shopping at the supermarket and picked up every single variety of fruit that she saw. If you like fruits, good for you! If you don’t, I’m very sure there must be something on that plate that you will fancy.

_MG_9887

_MG_0001

A handwritten welcome card from the General Manager, which is a really nice gesture πŸ™‚

_MG_9913

_MG_9992

The hubs was trying to use the hotel wifi while I continue snapping photos in our room.

_MG_9898

_MG_0197

Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and lotion. All lavender! I like!

_MG_0198

Just about everything that you need, it’s in there.

_MG_9895

I was telling misterchewy that if the bath tub looks enticing enough, we could go shop for a nice shower gel for our bubble bath πŸ˜›

_MG_9897

_MG_9901

_MG_9903

I knew I didn’t have to worry about misterchewy feeling bored about being left alone because the reclining sofa (not sure what’s the exact term for it) looked really comfortable and he was already glued to the LCD TV.

_MG_9876

Oh let’s backtrack a bit. The hubs wore another set of clothing when we travelled to the hotel and he wanted to change into the set which I had picked out and packed for him. However, the shirt had some creases and I took the chance to use the iron and ironing board in our room to prove my caliber as a good wife. *AHEM*

_MG_9889

A quick look at the mini bar. Only the bottled water, tea and coffee are complimentary.

_MG_9891

The fridge certainly is very well-stocked with most of our favorite drinks in there!

_MG_9986

Takashimaya Shopping Centre is just across the street! I told you Grand Park Orchard’s location is awesome, didn’t I?

Grand Park Orchard Premier Room

The Chewys_Xmas tree

Our outfit of the day! Both our clothes were gotten during our recent trip to Bangkok. I wore a light yellow dip hem maxi dress and paired a metallic gold bangle to go along with it. Cheery colors! πŸ˜‰ The hubs is usually seen wearing jeans because he works as an engineer so I made him wear shorts this time. Totally love the white long sleeved shirt with navy blue anchor prints that I chose for him! πŸ˜€

_MG_9917

We were totally famished and decided walk over to Mandarin Gallery for late lunch at Ippudo because misterchewy was craving for ramen.

_MG_9928

_MG_9933

_MG_9931

_MG_9936

_MG_9973

We were walking around aimless and then misterchewy suggested that we go to *SCAPE to catch some toys! But nothing caught my eye πŸ™ Or am I too old for this? LOL.

_MG_9972

misterchewy_scape

*SCAPE is also one of the more popular locations for casual outdoor wedding photoshoot! I’m giving you people some ideas ok? πŸ˜› Oh yeah, misterchewy was carrying a Sephora paper bag because we bought a really sweeeeet smelling shower gel! πŸ˜‰

_MG_9977

Was tired from all that walking and decided to head back to our hotel room for a short rest before dinner. Took a mini tour around first. The gym faces the swimming pool so if you need some motivation on the treadmill, there you have it! πŸ˜›

_MG_9976

How nice and thoughtful of the hotel to supply gym goers with towels, bottled water and energy drinks. Yes the energy drinks are free!

_MG_9979

_MG_0294

_MG_0297

_MG_0291

Bar Canary is located right next to the pool.

_MG_0293

_MG_0299

_MG_0300

_MG_0021

I think I had stretched my walking limits and was really eager to head back. Sky was turning dark too, from what we see when we reached our room.

_MG_0024

_MG_0025

_MG_0018

LOL! The hubs was already waiting for me to turn around when I was done with taking photos and was waving at me from the toilet. He then proceeded to act as though he was surprised. -_-

_MG_0189

_MG_0102

Besides the hotel stay, we were also welcome to try the dinner buffet at Open House Restaurant.

_MG_0099

_MG_0031

Here’s a sneak peek!

_MG_0059

I will be sharing more about the dinner buffet at Open House in my next post πŸ˜‰

_MG_0103

After dinner, we decided to take a long leisurely stroll outside Grand Park Orchard and soak in the Christmas atmosphere! The entire Orchard Road lights up beautifully at night.

_MG_0106

_MG_0109

_MG_0112

_MG_0119

_MG_0125

_MG_0156

Time to chill out with some drinks at Bar Canary, which is located on the same floor as the lobby.

_MG_0158

_MG_0159

Shall tell you guys more about the drinks we had in the next post πŸ™‚

_MG_0196

Earlier in the day, we stopped by Sephora at Takashimaya and bought this Caramel Toffee bubble bath and shower gel. There were about 10 different ones for us to choose from. We smelled every single one and this is the one we liked best! Highly recommended if you and your partner like really sweet scent. A bottle costs only $15 and we used a third which was more than enough πŸ˜€

_MG_0310

The hotel provides bedroom slippers and bathrobes too. So there’s no need for you to pack your pyjamas along for your staycation! The bedroom slippers are of really good quality and very comfy too.

_MG_0309

_MG_0201

Good morning sunshine! We were supposed to wake up at 8am but overslept and woke up at 9plus instead! :O By the time we got dressed and reached Open House downstairs, it was nearly 10am. Good thing the buffet line closes at 11am during weekends! Phew! Hey, we both agreed that our bed was really way too comfortable and we had a really good night’s sleep! πŸ˜€

_MG_0223

_MG_0203

_MG_0225

Selection of bread and pastries are constantly being replenished. Everything is warm and toasty!

_MG_0218

_MG_0205

_MG_0206

_MG_0208

_MG_0209

_MG_0210

_MG_0219

_MG_0220

This was misterchewy’s favorite station! We had scrambled and poached eggs.

_MG_0226

You can choose either plain or pork congee and various condiments are available.

_MG_0232

_MG_0239

Below are some of the a la carte buffet dishes that we had that morning. We were totally spoilt for choice and tried a bit from each station. My favorite dishes were the mee siam, eggs and waffles! πŸ˜€

_MG_0246

_MG_0249

_MG_0265

_MG_0268

_MG_0277

_MG_0281

_MG_0316

After a hearty breakfast, we just wanted to laze in bed. Good thing it had been arranged for us to check out at 4pm instead! We borrowed Crazy Stupid Love DVD from the concierge at the lobby. There were many other movies but most were already loaned to other guests in the hotel. But it’s ok because I love romantic comedies! πŸ˜€

_MG_0314

We had not watched Crazy Stupid Love before and had a really good laugh at some of the scenes. Ryan Gosling is sooooo suave and hawt! *Drools* πŸ˜›

_MG_0319

The hubs continued to laze in bed and read soccer news on his iPad.

_MG_0321

Made a cup of Gryphon Earl Grey Lavender tea from the mini bar for myself!

_MG_0327

We found that a copy of The Sunday Times had been delivered to our room early in the morning. Decided to make myself comfortable on the reclining sofa and catch up on the news with my cup of hot tea in hand. πŸ™‚

creating a gif

All in all, the husband and I had a pretty marvelous staycation at Grand Park Orchard and managed to spend quality time with each other over the precious weekend. Currently, Grand Park Orchard is having a Christmas Escapade promotion from 15th to 30th December. Receive your last night free simply by staying for 3 consecutive nights or more! There’s no better way to spend Christmas with your loved ones than a luxurious staycation at Grand Park Orchard. πŸ˜‰

Oasia Hotel Singapore Staycation Blog Review

Sponsored Staycation

The Chewys' Staycation @ Oasia Hotel-001

Hot on the heels of our blog post on The Chewys’ very first Singapore staycation, we have lined up another mega blog post filled with many photos taken during the 1st Year Anniversary Party and staycation at Oasia Hotel! The party was very fun and lively; with lots of cocktails and chocolates to go around. As for the staycation, we are summing up our experience in three words: awesome, impressive and exclusive! πŸ˜€

_MG_3665

Oasia Hotel is situated in the heart of the charming Novena enclave, just a stone’s throw away from shopping malls, Novena Square Velocity and Square 2, as well as the Novena MRT Station. Talk about extreme convenience and accessibility! Since it was a little early for us to check-in, we settled our lunch at Square 2’s Sakae Sushi before crossing the link bridge over to Oasia. At about 2pm, we proceeded straight to Level 22 because that’s where the check-in/check-out is done for Oasia Club rooms or suites guests.

_MG_3049-001

The club room that we stayed in for the night is on the 24th floor, highest being the 25th. The room features understated modern decor, subtle hues of nature-inspired elements and ambient lighting that will soothe one’s senses.

_MG_3074-001

All Oasia Club Room guests will also enjoy very exclusive privileged access to The Living Room and its pool facilities on the 22nd floor, as well as complimentary breakfast, cocktail and all-day coffee, tea, juices, soft drinks and alcoholic drinks at The Living Room, complimentary one piece of suit pressing per stay (non accumulative) and daily newspapers.

_MG_3138

_MG_3084-001

_MG_3051-001

Fresh fruits in our room. How nice! πŸ™‚

_MG_3054-001

There’s even stationery! It’s all the little things and personal touches like these that are both welcoming and intuitive, which left us impressed.

_MG_3151

We love listening to music and we were grinning from ear to ear upon seeing the iPod/iPhone docking machine! πŸ˜€

_MG_3642-001

Most hotel rooms only have like two or three pin power point sockets so it was pleasant to have this USB power socket. One USB cable does the trick of charging all your electronic devices like your camera, mobile phone and MP3 player. At least it works for me! Imagine the hassle of having to bring ten different chargers for all your devices. πŸ˜›

_MG_3059

All Oasia Club rooms are equipped with unlimited broadband access. Here’s misterchewy calling the reception to find out what’s the correct ‘last name’ to key in together with our room number, in order to log onto the WIFI network.

_MG_3321

_MG_3116

46 inch LED television!

_MG_3114

Woots! Complimentary mini bar is rather well-stocked. πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€

_MG_3113

If you want a hot drink, there’s also Nespresso coffee-making facilities! πŸ˜€

_MG_3352-001

Not a fan of coffee? There’s Naturalis tea!

_MG_3153-001

We went, “Whoaaaaa!” In this wardrobe, there are bath robes, bedroom slippers, iron with ironing board, and even a large umbrella! Very thoughtful indeed!

_MG_3094-001

And here comes the part many would be concerned about, other than the bed. Bath tub on the left, rain shower on the right!

_MG_3157-001

_MG_3605-001

I first had the chance to use these bath amenities from Thann when I stayed in one of the hotels in Taiwan. Madly in love with the aromatic wood scent!

_MG_3361

_MG_3090-001

_MG_3096-001

Everything that you need, it’s in there! Toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, shaver, showering cap, cotton buds, loofah, etc!

_MG_3110

_MG_3078

Heh heh heh. You can derive a little bit of fun and excitement from watching your partner shower! πŸ˜› The blinds can be operated with a simple click in the bathroom.

_MG_3065-002

Same goes for the blinds and shades in the room! We were greeted by a very breathtaking view of the city! Basically, the husband and I just sat on the ledge and admired the sight for a good 10 minutes πŸ™‚ Haha but of course, we had to pull down the blinds after a few minutes because it was getting kinda hot! πŸ˜›

_MG_3070

_MG_3322-horz

_MG_3339-horz

_MG_3306

As we had a couple of hours to kill before the event, Hubby Chewy and I went for a little tour around the hotel! Went to level 8 first.

_MG_3297-001

The swimming pool looks very nice right! I like the ‘feel’!

_MG_3299-001

There’s a jacuzzi too!

_MG_3300-001

_MG_3312

The gymnasium is located on level 8 too. Not very big but it has a handful of cardio machine like the treadmill and stationary bike. Those who are on an endurance or strength training regime can make use of the free weights and the all-in-one machine!

_MG_3289-001

And now, level 22! Over here, Oasia Club room guests get to enjoy very exclusive benefits and be pampered like kings and queens!

_MG_3201

Tadah! This is The Living Room! Very nice place to chill out!

_MG_3211

_MG_3236-001

Here’s a sneak peek of the setup for the event at night! πŸ˜‰

_MG_3269-001

We pushed past the glass door and stood in awe in front of this very beautiful infinity pool which boasts a magnificent view of the city! Oh man, I wish I could jump right in! Anyway, this is only open to club room guests!

_MG_3258

_MG_3281

This jacuzzi looks way bigger than the one we saw at level 8!

_MG_3284

How relaxing it is to just lie here and enjoy a glass of orange juice as you get your dose of Vitamin D! Just remember to apply sunblock! πŸ˜›

_MG_3287-001

_MG_3366-001

Hey hey hey! That’s not all to it. Light bites by the pool are available for club guests between 6-8pm at the Club Lounge. If you are like me who gets hungry after a swim, you should rejoice to this! πŸ˜›

_MG_3378-001

_MG_3374-001

_MG_3376-001

_MG_3375-001

_MG_3372-001

_MG_3384-001

Since the event was scheduled to start at 7pm and we didn’t have time for dinner, we ate a bit from the spread.

_MG_3391

Summer’s Bouquet is a lovely concoction of vodka, elderflower syrup, Singapore Sling tea, lemon and ice cubes!

I’m sure everybody present that night enjoyed the exclusive Chocholatier Masterclass conducted by Mr Geoffroy Maubon, who’s the first barista of Monbana!

Next up was the highlight for the night, the unveiling of Oasia’s signature cocktail drink! It has also been very aptly named, “L22“.

Since we were there to celebrate Oasia’s 1st year anniversary, we couldn’t go without a massive birthday cake topped with macarons that brought about surprised gasps from the awe-stricken audience!

_MG_3525-001

We called it a night after singing the birthday song and grabbing a piece of macaron! What a night! πŸ˜€

_MG_3528

Hahaha I kinda sabo-ed misterchewy to be interviewed instead of me doing the job because I’m camera shy! Oops! πŸ˜›

_MG_3577

Back in our room. LOL! I told misterchewy I’m gonna do a test shot and he did this pose. Super cheeky la!

Oh yes, after the event ended, I was feeling kinda hungry and we hopped over to Novena Square. It’s that convenient! Had a craving for sashimi, as usual, and we grabbed some from Cold Storage. Half price somemore. Hahaha!

The bed was way too comfy and we decided to just lie there watching Titantic on our iPad! πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€

_MG_3588-001

I can’t believe I got hungry again towards the end of the movie! Hubby Chewy then suggested that we order something from the supper menu that’s available from 11pm to 5am by calling room service! He had the fries while I was contented with my mushroom soup with truffle oil.

Time for bed! A couple who brushes their teeth together, stays together. Hahaha! πŸ˜›

_MG_3630-001

We had a very good sleep and woke up to the rhythmic pitter patter of raindrops against the window pane early next morning. πŸ™‚

_MG_3634-001

Nothing beats lazing in bed with your loved one while listening to music from the iPod docking machine! It was fabulous! We played songs from Rita Ora, Katy Perry, The Wanted, Jayesslee, Jay Chou and many more. πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€ πŸ˜€

_MG_3650-001

The husband and I have a thing for having breakfast in the hotel. Good thing we remembered to tick the items that we wanted and hung our order on the door knob before we slept the night before.

_MG_3648-001

I don’t have much of an appetite in the morning and settled for the mini pancakes and some cornflakes while misterchewy had a hearty American breakfast with bacon and poached eggs!

_MG_3660

Woots! Breakfast is served! No words can explain how blissful we felt πŸ˜€

_MG_3627

That’s all folks! Have a fantabulous weekend and a lovely holiday on Chewsday! πŸ˜›
