Marina Bay Sands Holiday

Marina Bay Sands is the most famous place in Singapore since it was opened in 2010 until today. Its hotel is an absolute icon, holding the infinity pool that you see in photos every time you Google for "Singapore". In short, Marina Bay Sands defines a luxury lifestyle that is totally Singapore. 

 

If you're planning a 3 day 2 nights stay on this island, you can just stay in and chill in Marina Bay Sands. There's a mall, casino, skating rink, restaurants, museum and nightclubs. Imagine how many activities you can do here alone? Not to mention another famous attraction just next door is the Garden by the Bay. Connected by an overhead bridge from Marina Bay Sands Hotel. 

 

If you are thinking of a trip, just a little suggestion here.

Depart from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore on Friday morning. It takes about an hour by air and 4 hours by land. You'll reach there in time to check-in at a hotel in Singapore. Which hotel? Why not spend a little extra money on luxury? You Only Live Once, right? Gotta try those ultra-comfy beds and pillows while you live. Anyway, it's so much relaxing when you focus your trip on one area at one time. You can indulge yourself with a great spa treatment at the end of a tiring day of relaxing. And please remind yourself of all the Insta-worthy photos you're going to have by paying a visit to the SkyPark. The Observation Deck is free entry for hotel guests too. You get to see a panoramic view across the bay. You can also use the infinity pool when you're a hotel guest. 

 

After check-in, continue to do some shopping at The Shoppes. This retail space is massive and holds over 300 stores and food and beverage outlets with big names such as Chanel, Cartier & Gucci. There is a canal running thru the mall, and best of all, you can purchase a ride on a gondola. This is a must-do at The Shoppes so you get to relax after all the tiredness from shopping and dining. These activities should occupy you until night time.

Day 2 of the trip, start early in the morning how about a good swim, and then a good healthy breakfast. Enjoy the breathtaking view of the SkyPark infinity pool. You can go ahead with a visit to the Banyan Tree Spa for some TLC time. After feeling refreshed, around late afternoon, it is a good time to go to Gardens by the Bay. Enjoy the fresh greenery all around you. By the time you're done checking out the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest at least, you will have some time to find a good seat for the light show which starts at 7.45 PM and 8.45 PM.

Before you check out the following day, do pay a visit to the signature restaurants. There is plenty of choices, from Gordon Ramsay to Wolfgang Puck to Justin Quek. You will definitely be satisfied with the delicious food served, and the variety of it! Just make sure you have the energy to travel back to Kuala Lumpur.

And that is the end of your Marina Bay Sands holiday which I am sure will never be forgotten,

November blues

Beautiful sunset at Amverton Cove Gold Island Resort

It's November and it's Thursday, evening and raining here. Just sharing with you last month we went for a short vacation at Amverton Cove Golf Island Resort. Feel free to read the post, as you can find not just kids activities there. There's other activities for adults and also for golfers, do visit their Facebook to find out.

Today supposed to be a media trip that I can follow to go for Lost World of Tambun but not able to make it as it's an important day today to meet with teachers on son's education. Not just today the last media invitation also been rejected as it clashed with children's report card day. Last media invitation was to Legoland Malaysia.

The 28 October Friday, was an unlucky day for me, I have got a car accident. The 4 wheels truck hit the Toyota Vios and Toyota Vios hits my car. I was on the way to fetch my youngest son from kindergarten. I didn't make it to fetch him, I called sister-in-law about this and lucky that niece was at home she can help to fetch my son. My parents in law were here too, it's also the day they went back to hometown together with niece. At the moments, my car is not repair yet, the police report is RM34 and it showed that the driver's fault is the 4 wheels truck.

Next year gonna be a busy year for me and the kids as son will be Standard Six and youngest son is Standard One in Primary School. Besides busy he is busy tuition at school, he is also tuition outside. Got to balance the life of education having entertainment and also exercise for healthy living. No doubt I got to spend time for myself too, got to see how and make arrangement for it, perhaps pampering time, etc. I didn't have a transporter for my children as it is calculate by per person the payment for a way, both ways will be different payment and not yet include the outside tuition location to send. Now you know why there's a lot of calculation to do.

Few years back I followed the media trip as my dear's working nearer to home and able to fetch sons. But he's further away now and unable to help me to fetch them if I go, there's rider available now which I can pay if there's places I need to go. But then I need to consider about the children first like there's tuition or not and the time is suitable or not. There's lot to consider as a mom, not just parenting but also lifestyle of children.

By the way, anyone has got a good car workshop in Subang Jaya to recommend?
