Perfect Friday Getaway @ Singapore

SheZai held a celebration at Swissotel Singapore to celebrate the occassion of our 7 years together last weekend. We booked a hotel room for one night and enjoyed the hotel facilities along with dinner at its restaurant. They have just upgraded the room so it was quite lucky of us to get a newly renovated room. Just Fabulous! Once we arrived, straight to the hotel pool we went. The mini waterfall massaged our back as we stood underneath it. Gorgeous scenery.

After swimming, we had dinner at the in-house restaurant called El-- Market Cafe. We had a terrible terrible dinner experience there that we felt like writing in to the manager. First of all, they had this CRAB promotion going on which we were unaware of in the first place and you can see all the ugly sides of Singaporeans. I mean, really really Fugly. Yes, the buffet served black pepper crab, chilli crab, Sri Lankan crab, soft-shell crab, crab roe, etc etc, anything you could imagine with those crustaceans. Errkhh. What irks me is that these nyonyas and apeks seem as if they have never eaten crabs before and they queued up like super Kiasu fuckers for the crabs like there's no tomorrow and if not eating those crabs might give them the cooties and leave them dead and rotting in hell. Hah! We were both really furious! The chefs also took so long to replenish the crabs, that these ugly people are willing to stand there for half an hour to one hour just for ONE serving of crab!! Other dishes also took so long to replenish that there was this one English Foreigner who didn't give 2 hoots and walked around the buffet with a plate in his hands, just eating off the buffet table. That was classic. Good for him! Apart from that, they served only PLAIN water. My God. For the price that we paid, we expected at least some ice tea, coke or juice for that matter! To make matters worse, the glass they poured the drink in was DIRTY. There's like kerak-kerak, evidence of not being washed properly. We've had enough, we're gonna write in to the manager. In the end, we did not eat any crab at all, not that we are really salivating for it anyway. Never going back there ever again.


Oh well, the night was still young after dinner, so went to town to catch a midnight, "Virgin Territory". Hahaha! Gosh, it was super CRAP. A light-hearted romantic comedy, set in those medieval times, and really really crappy dialogues and scenes. When we got back to the room, the bed was so heavenly that we slept soundly all the way till 11am. We didn't realise it was an hour to check-out. And i foolishly thought that it was still 5am coz the drapes/curtains were really heavy and thick that they blocked out every single speck of sunlight, thus the room was still in darkness. We got up, thought of breakkie at O'Briens but took a cab straight home.
Once home, we packed for Wild Wild Wet and joined the cousins there for a whole afternoon of water splashing fun in good company. The rides are the same, and i nearly drowned in the wave pool if not saved by my hero Hubby and Yutt. Thank God. Later that night, we chilled at One Fullerton Starbucks till 1am and headed on home. Great weekend!
As for last night, I gave my family a treat at Straits Kitchen Grand Hyatt. Again, luxurious spread of buffet. Many different types of mouth-watering cuisines.

So you see, as for today, I'm detoxifying myself with lactose after my run. Get rid of all those decomposed items on my intestinal walls and colon. hahaha!
