MBS!

Saturday afternoon, checked out of Hard Rock Hotel Sentosa to transfer to my third hotel for the week, the Marina Bay Sands. I’ve been meaning to see Bintan, Indonesia, which is one ferry away from Singapore for the last weekend, but the girls had some other plans. They reasoned that we’ll also swim in the pool in Bintan so might as well just check the said hotel’s infinity pool. Lols!

The girls (Plokie and XieXie) had some chores to do so I went ahead instead of dropping by their flat in Hougang first. Even if it means not being able to check-in first since Plokie holds the reservation. I was able to roam around The high-end Shoppes at Marina Bay. Granted there were still some closed shops but everything is almost complete as compared to my last July visit. But of course I feel like saying to myself, heller it’s been six months since what was I expecting? Hahaha!! The gondola ride below is already fully operational. Hmm, I heard the price is only 5 SGD, which is quite cheap, compared to the one in Venetian in Macau.  But the difference here is that it is a Chinese Gondola.  So no handsome gondolier crooning for you. :P

After waiting for 3 hours, 3 HOURS!!, the girls finally arrived and we were assigned a room somewhere in the 9th floor of tower 3. This is our room’s view. J It’s nothing much actually but just some construction ongoing but one feature I love in this room is the auto-open of the curtains once you put in your card key. ;-) Their lift or what we so called elevators here require also the card key when you move from floors to floors which triggers uhmm err that embarrassing experience of mine from another hotel here if y'all have read it last time.  Hahaha!!  Another thing that is automated here is the mini-bar. Once you open the fridge, the sensor will automatically detect the items and will be instantly charged to your room. We dared not open the fridge for fear of getting bankrupt since we’re already broke from our one night reservation here. Mwahaha!! =))

I can't count how many hotels I’ve stayed at in SG. But I love the scent of their toiletries here. Also, one thing I noticed from all of them is that their towels smell the same and it’s not too fragrant for me. Sorry but I’m a big fan of fab cons (fabric conditioners). But it’s different in here. J

After checking out the pool above, we all got dressed to have pics at night by the infinity pool. Our check-in sked was very bad, as it’s been raining almost everyday in SG last week. It’s soooo cold up there in the 54th floor and with my trench coat on; I walked towards the edge to get a view of Singapore at night at the top of MBS. I dared not bring my DSLR, this was taken using my űber-chic pink Canon IXUS 130. ;-)

No one can beat Plokie. Kasehodang mabasa ng ulan ang DSLR!! She wouldn’t so mind the raindrops on her DSLR, just so we can have night photos by the pool. Oo nga naman, we wouldn’t be here tomorrow night anymore. Hahaha!! Hence the theme song for this experience is Beyonce’s ♪♫ One Night Only, One Night Only, Come On Baby Come On. ♪♫ Hahaha!!!

Night swimming @ the Infinity pool

There were only few good shots since Plokie had to play with her camera to find the nice settings (it's Canon, I only know about Nikon :p) and it's drizzling. Uhmm, our aim is to have atleast 50 good shots per person. Hahaha!! Kidding. :)) So sad, we could only wish for the sun to come up tomorrow to be able to enjoy all the amenities. ☼☼☼

And once again since we’re penniless for this crazy idea of checking in here, we opted for some pizza delivery in our room for dinner. Haha!! Cheapskates! =))  Then got dressed to par-tay! :P
