Another wonderful year II

As mentioned, a bigger celebration was due - a one-night staycation at Singapore's newest IR. It's not one of the most conducive or quiet retreat one would hope for though. 

Upon arriving at MBS hotel, the check-in queue was so long it was almost you were checking-in at an airport and not a hotel. Exclusivity was nil - instead, the place was noisy, crowded and felt almost like a shopping mall instead (think Vivocity). The room was clean and nice, but not impressive for the rates they were charging. 

Don't even mention the Skypark. It was PACKED! I felt like I was at Orchard Rd. Tsk. Barely a deck chair was available. It was noisy with kids and tons of public visitors.

Ok, I shall refrain from writing a full-blown critical review of the place now (blame my job). 

Lunch at BBQ Box - with glasses?....

...or without? 

Chinese BBQ skewers have grown on me. Am competing for "mayorship" there with a fellow colleague.

Going through one of my presents.




Ok, the Skypark actually looks more packed than this. 

Acting cool yo!


Sunset.


Dinner at db Bistro Moderne.

Was charged an exorbitant price for a glass of Chambord. I forgot it's not available in Singapore and was imported instead...and I've got two bottles at home. :(

The Frenchie burger.

The uber yummy signature original db burger. Beef patty is stuffed with foie gras!

 





Another wonderful year indeed - and many more to come.
