Staycation

Yup, we're responding to the local gimmick that is going around in order to promote spending, more spending. Guess what would happen if everyone holds onto their monies? We'll each get richer what else?!?

.

Hahaha, joke aside............but of course we cannot forget about contributing to our motherland can we...........So Singapore, here we are, throwing in some $$$$$ contributions to the economy!

.

.

and where, Yes,...........to the nearby Rasa Sentosa Resort on Sunny Sentosa island, today that is. Take it as a family break, a retreat, away from stress and economy downturn, gossips and bitchy work matters whatever you call it...........(the parents had to keep their handphones on though......due to their work nature - yucks!!!)

Rasa Sentosa Resort by Shangri-La claims that they are a favourite destination for fun and relaxation, offering garden or sea views through their individual balconies. In fact when we first step into the resort premise, we indeed felt our muscles relaxed. However, the knocking sounds we hear in our room immediately after checking in is NO FUN!

.

Lasting for almost an hour, the knocking on our roof, although gentle but frequent made us go on our nerves after 10 minutes listening to that interupting sound. Of course, the parents made an effort and confirmed with the hotel that they were indeed fixing the carpet of the room above ours that afternoon. OH YEAH, thanks - We didn't come all the way into the resort for that and unfortunately for us, the hotel didn't seem to express regret for that too! So much so for a Shangri-La, points deducted!

.
By late afternoon, we managed to seek peace and quiet while waiting for dear son to wake from his nap. Not long, we took our haversack with us and hopped out of our room, ready to check out the nearby attractions, take a few pictures and settle for dinner as well.

The next highlight upon return to our resort after dinner is definitely to check out the pool. The 3 of us spent at least an hour soaking up the ambient and enjoying the dip in the water. At night, after Kiet fell asleep, we sat chatting while sipping our aroma coffee; discussing over some plans or sorts.

.

The morning breakfast at Silver Shell Cafe for 3 of us was very enjoyable. Dear son ate a lot of food while also keeping himself busy doodling on a piece of paper. After breakfast programme entails another dip in the pool followed by table tennis game before packing to check out the resort by 1pm.

.

Our staycation, although not that perfect but has met 2 key objectives 1) is beneficial enough, to wind up the body cells and gear us for further challenges ahead; 2) we contributed to the nation by spending haven't we.....hehehe....
