Marina Bay Sands: Premier Room ★

★ Marina Bay Sands Staycation ★
Presidential Suite Part (I)

Premier Room

It was another impromptu stay over at Marina Bay Sands with my sister. It has been a long time since I stayed at Marina Bay Sands so I called dad to book a room for us! As it was a one night stay for the both of us only, I requested for a Deluxe Room.

Deluxe Room is the smallest room so I guessed it's cheaper but dad told me that the differential in prices between both rooms at that time was very minimal so he got us a slightly bigger room for our comfort :)

PREMIER ROOM

When I stay in the Rooms (and most hotels), I feel sick and couldn't stop sneezing. I found out from my friends (who are working at MBS) that the bed sheets are filled with dusts and it wasn't a good news for someone with SINUS like me :'(

♥ One thing I love about Marina Bay Sands is their bathrooms!!!!!!! ♥
And they have a least one bathtub in EVERY room/suite (Presidential Suite has 3!). I only use hotel bathtub in certain hotels.

The first thing I would do when I go to every hotel is to check their bathroom because it's the most important part of my stay in the hotel!

Anyone with the same pet peeve?

I persuaded mum to go to the gym with us but she didn't stay over :(

It was her first time at the gym and also her first time exercising with us :) We did some cardio at the cardio room before going to the weights room and lastly, sauna & steam bath!

Since there were only 3 of us, we decided to go for something simple, yummy and inexpensive (as compared to other restaurants/cafes in Marina Bay Sands) so we opted for the food court,

Rasapura

I gave mum and sister a treat since it didn't cost more than $100!

Childhood drink :)

There's a variety of cuisines at Rasapura but our favourite stall is the Seafood BBQ stall.

My aunt brought us there once and since then, whenever we go to MBS in a group of two or three, we would order food from this stall.

I would recommend anyone who wishes to go for yummy and inexpensive food in Marina Bay Sands! It would be worth it if you go with your family :)

Here are our top favourites from the Seafood BBQ stall!

FRIED BABY SOTONGS!
Accompanied by some healthy cucumbers, the sotongs were fried to perfection with a tinge of sweetness. It was also a lil spicy but it was manageable for us except my younger sister who can't eat spicy food.

SHELLFISH!
I'm a fan of shellfish and I got to say this is one of the best dish I've eaten in a food court. The sauce had a mixture of sweetness and spiciness and I couldn't help but to serve over my rice :D

STINGRAY!
Being a Serangoon Gardener, I can tell you Chomp Chomp is OVER RATED. People go there for the name. I agree that the standards of the food in Chomp Chomp deserved 5 out of 5 stars in the past but over the years, standards have dropped.

The price of the stingray in Rasapura is slightly higher than that of Chomp Chomp but it is definitely more worth it.

The plan to chill at FUSE at night, failed (Wen, if you're reading this, I'm sorry. Next one will be a success.)

We had breakfast at The Club @ Marina Bay Sands.

Staying in Deluxe and Premier Room doesn't include complimentary breakfast at The Club but we still had our complimentary breakfast there because....... yeah

You can't expect a 100% good quality for complimentary food but we had to fill our stomach in the morning.

I am utterly disgusted by The Club's custard bun! I'm never going to get the custard bun again. It's cold and hard from the inside :(

It was a clear and beautiful morning at the Skypark before I left for home to my babies :)

Negative To Positive Situation :)

As marked on my planner, I was supposed to release a photo diary yesterday but I'm running a fever, my body temperature hits 38.1 degree celsius as at 4PM :(

Before I start ranting about my Final Theory Test (FTT), here are some snippets of what I have done for the past few weeks :)

The Club @ Marina Bay Sands // High tea buffet

Heading to the gym!

Met the bufflord/bro Hasfis at MBS Skypark because his dragon boat team was having an event at MBS! We asked the staff of the skypark to take pictures but all turned out blur/awkward. This is the best picture I could find and I had to sharpen & filter it to make it sharper and vivid!

It has been a very unfortunate week for me because.... oh wait, okay just two days.

Yesterday morning, I had training at Kallang River and I didn't bring my tights and cap as the sky was dark so I thought it might rain. When I started coxing, THE SCORCHING SUN CAME OUT -.- The only fortunate thing was that I used sunblock lotion. Sunblock lotion will not prevent us from being tanned so obviously, I've grown tanner. When I reached home, we had a guest from China. He drives bus 317 (the feeder bus in my estate). He just came back from China because SBS requested him to come back due to shortage of manpower.

I wanted to take a nap before my Final Theory Test (FTT) in the evening but it wouldn't be nice to sleep when there's a guest. After all, my mum always tells me that we should be polite and hospitable :)

OH AND MY ROOM IS SO MUCH BRIGHTER WITHOUT DRAWING THE CURTRAINS

I finally took a proper nap at 5PM and woke up at 5.45PM. Mum sent me to the driving centre before going to my aunt's place. As my mum is afraid that I would lose my IC, she made a copy with the word 'SPECIMEN' stamped on it. I used this IC specimen for E-trial and they allowed so I showed the invigilator my IC specimen. They insisted that I should produce the original IC.

Blame it on myself because I didn't check the website's FAQ before going for the test. I am responsible and I do not blame it on others. This is a lesson learnt. From now onwards, I will and must remember to check everything beforehand :)

*BE POSITIVE!!!*

I was angry a the invigilators and I went for a run from City Plaza to my aunt's place in Amber Gardens. It is a straight but not very long route! I felt good after perspiring! :D

~blur look~

The dinner served at my aunt's place were all Indonesian dishes! Indonesian cuisine is my second favorite cuisine, after Chinese cuisine :)

When I reached home, I showered and accompanied my dogs while waiting for my hair to dry. I was still feeling quite upset over the FTT issue and James cheered me up with all sorts of funny conversations and replies :D This proves that distance doesn't matter in relationship!

In the middle of the night, I couldn't stop coughing and it worsened to the extent that I almost got an asthma attack!!! I used the method of "inhaling twice and exhaling once" and it worked.

I JUST HAVE TO TALK ABOUT COMFORT DELGRO AGAIN.

Okay, but why can't they just be flexible and close one eye? I really dislike people who are inflexible. The IC specimen has my face on it?!?!?! Since this is how they work, I respect their working style and honesty but maybe because this is just the way I think so this comment is obviously biased. Okay, whatever :(

This morning, I took a cab down to Comfort Delgro Driving Centre and booked my FTT which will take place 2 to 3 months later! To make myself feel even better, I told myself that this is probably god's sign of giving me more time to study because I did a last minute revision for this test. And of course, I have planned what to do within the next few months but this have to remain confidential :(

THE WEATHER WAS SICK. Literally!!!!!!

It was so hot I could feel myself burning! I guess this is partly why I'm running a fever.

As I was already feeling unwell and was about to faint, I took a cab to Toa Payoh and threw all my previous semester's notes into the recycled bin opposite Toa Payoh Swimming Complex. I do this every semester and I highly encourage all of you and your friends to do that! Do as much as you can! I'm trying my best to make this world a better place :)
