Short Weekend Getaway @ Hard Rock

Whoohoo~~ Thanks to Mummy, we had a chance to go to the Hard Rock RWS over the weekend.. I went straight to RWS to pick up Mummy for dinner at a Zhi Char place near Benny's house.. Their salted egg crab and Yu Tou Lu are really nice..


Went back to the hotel after dinner.. The room is really big.. But cause my sis's frenz were there too, I decided to go to Benny's place to stay for the night before going over the next day to check into our room..


The next morning, we woke up around 830am cause we wanna go to see the dermatologist at West Coast which open at 9am.. This is the first time we woke up so early apart from going to the airport to catch our flight.. Haha..


We reached West Coast Plaza at 9am sharp and was surprised to see only 2 pax in front of us..
( The clinic is really quite famous and from the forum, there are times when there are queue outside the clinic before 8am.. ) The previous time when I came, I waited for almost 2 hours when I reached at 730pm to get the queue no. ( FYI, the clinic open at 7pm in the evening )


Was damn happy to be able to see the doctor before 930am.. This time round, alot more skincare were added into my regime.. Every time I wash my face, there will be at least 6 products I need to apply on my face.. :P This month alone, I had spent $300 on the skincare and consultation.. ( Heart damn pain k?? ) Well, as long as it works and my face can be zit &mark-free.. :)


We went to IMM after having our brekkie.. It's the 1st time we went shopping before 11am.. I did some shopping for my D&D deco..

We went to Hard Rock and took some photos while waiting for Mummy @ the lobby.. 


Our room is at the other side of the hotel.. It is smaller as compared to Mummy's room.. There you go~~
The bathroom is really nice.. :P


The pool view from our room.. 

Nua in the room until dinner time.. Din go down to swim at the lovely pool cause the weather is SUPER hot!! And the room seems like a much nicer place to relax & laze around.. haha..

We had international buffet for dinner @ the restaurant at our hotel.. The standard of their food is much better than before and they increased their variety too.. After dinner, we went back to my room & rest.. 


Took some photos in the room.....

We went down for a walk after that.. There are quite a no. of new shops around.. Was fascinated by the TALL x'mas tree & the Candy Tree outside Candylicious.. 
 Exploring my new S95 in Vivid Mode.. I love the colors!!

 Normal Mode..

With the M&Ms.. 

 Huge Candy Hamper!!

 X'mas is round the corner~~

 Jelly Beans~~


Time to get a sweet tooth~~

 Where is Mr Mah??


Everyone looks like a kid here..


OK, move on to another mood.. X'mas!!! How I love X'mas cause it is a season to SPEND!! opps~~ haha

The X'mas tree looks so nice.. But why most of the X'mas tree i saw is blue in color??? Well, don't care, as long as it looks nice can le.. :P



Back to the hotel to retire for the night.. Woke up the next morning at 930am.. But was too lazy to go down & swim.. In addition, NO ONE wants to go swim with me... Sad max~~

Check out at 12 & went to Holland V for lunch.. Had dim sum & porridge.. Yeah.. I miss dim sum!! Well, I miss alot of food.. haha.. 


It is a wonderful getaway.. Being able to relax without traveling out of Singapore.. No jams at the causeway, no sea-sickness while taking a ferry and personally I dun think it is as rush as you are overseas and trying to catch the transport back to Singapore.. I love weekend getaway!!

Summary~~

It has been another month since I last updated.. Alot of things had happened but I am just so lazy to blog about it..

I came back from Phuket for almost a month.. AND tiger airway still haven returned me my money.. Really damn pissed off with them cause it has been almost 2 months since they cancelled my flight.. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO PAY ME BACK!!

ok, let's talk about something happier.. It was not exactly a relaxing trip as I tot it would be cause I need to plan all the things & itinerary for my family.. The hotel we stayed is near the Bangla Road & shopping centre, everything turned out quite well though.. The bonus is, Benny managed to join me in the end cause of his leave schedule.. :)


Apart from that, the next BIG thing is....... I got my flat!! I got my queue no. for the Woodlands BTO.. I AM SO SO HAPPY!! Even though it means I wont be able to leave Woodlands for another 10 more years.. BUT i dun really mind.. No doubt, it might be even better if I can have a change or environment by living in another estate but well, it is not as if Woodlands is a very bad place apart from the distance to town.. By this time, after staying in Woodlands for more than 18 years, even before the train system was up.. I am quite used to it already.. :P
Moreover, the issue was really pressing for me & Benny cause of the difficulty in getting a BTO now and also because we are not sure of how the 8k income ceiling thingy is being calculated.. Better be safe than sorry.. So when we got the flat after 5 tries, 3 being unsuccessful and the other one still pending.. It is really a load off our mind.. :) Am awaiting for the brochure and the scheduled time to go down & choose our unit..

I also met up with qincheng & billy quite often these days.. Went to billy's place for MJ, meeting both of em for dinner, going out with billy & shan for movie and going out with the for KTV.. hehe..

Was having a discussion session with the gals for Anna's wedding.. She is going to have her wedding dinner in Jan next year.. Gonna be on a weekday, hope will be able to get leave on that day.. :)

Mery will be coming back at the start of Dec soon.. Hope will be able to meet up with her.. When she was back the other time, we did not have a chance to go out at all.. Only met up with her for a few hours cause of her sisters' wedding gown preview at her place and that's it.. :P

Dec is round the corner, meaning X'mas is coming soon.. Looking forward to the company D&D, the anniversary celebration, the annual X'mas party @ Shu's place & the preparation for new year eve.. I cant believe how fast time passes by... OMG!!
