staycation @ sentosa - Part 1

poor me is returning to work in a week time. gosh.
hence, decided to spend some quality time with yz before that.
treated the husband and the elder son to a 2D1N escapade to sentosa on monday!

we dropped off the elder son at childcare and the younger one at my mum's place in the morning.
yesh, check-in is not until 3pm so hubbi and i decided to spend some quiet couple time first.
after that, its "clash of the titans" and lunch at cineleisure orchard.
had tried to persuade the husband to watch "a single man" instead but he has flatly refused. bleh.
anyway, jm has commented that "clash" is a let-down so i've adjusted my expectations before watching it.
and true to her words, its really a so-so film.
though sam worthington is HOT. heh.

after the show was a mad dash to the cc to pick up the son and onwards to sentosa!


we were staying at siloso beach resort hotel!


hubbi and yz waiting at the lobby for me to do the check-in

i've actually booked a superior room which was situated on the 2nd/3rd floor.
due to the low occupancy rate, we were being upgraded to deluxe room on the 5th floor. *yippee*
actually not much difference, just that its bigger, has a bathtub, same floor with the pool ( good) and sorta better view.


us in the room!


yz was so glad to be staying in a hotel once again! he didnt forget his last stay at changi village hotel! :)


us pretending its just us two while the son went roaming around the room. ha.

after unpacking some stuff and changing yz from his cc's uniforms, we were good to go!


off to find some food for teabreak!

settled at one of the snackbars along siloso beach.
hubbi ordered pizza and coke. the perfect indulgence food for a lazy afternoon. :)

waiting for our order


yz was very happy with the arrival of food. :)

with full bellies, we were ready to take the sentosa express to resort world!


took photo with oscar along the way. too bad we didnt manage to catch "song of the sea" this time round.
never mind, there will be another time im sure!

@ beach station waiting for the train

resort world is sort of a let-down to us.
1stly, we cant enter the casino with yz around. even without him, hubbi and i are not sure if we are willing to fork out $100 each.
and it seems like 9 shops out of 10 at festive walk are still closed. @_@
given the timing we were over there, it does not make sense for us to go into universal studios which closed at 6pm sharp on weekdays.
so we were kinda bored there.

but i do like the feeling rw gives me - feels like overseas!


the "standard" shot to take

we decided to take the express train out of sentosa for dinner at vivo.
haha. i guess we cant be too far from the city for too long. :P
dinner was at sushi tei and after that we decided to treat the son to yummy ben & jerry's ice cream to make the excursion better.

concentrating real hard on getting the right amount on his spoon

we took the island tram to get back to the hotel from the train station as yz requested for it.
he can still remember taking a similar ride at the zoo few weeks back.
pretty amazed with his memory. :)

looking intensely at where we were heading.


i esp. love seeing the son getting cozy on the hotel bed!

we let yz decide when his bedtime should be.
but he was pretty tired out by the day's activities and K.O.ed himself out by 9+pm. tsk.
hubbi and i enjoyed watching movies on HBO and feasting on chips after that.
shiok!
