Birthday Getaway Day 1!

I had the best birthday everrrr this year.

Eric booked a room at Capella and we got upgraded to a suite (I think it was because it was my bday) :D

anyway more abt my hotel stay later..


We met at vivo for lunch first.. We had dim sum lunch at Tung Lok. The food was quite good.

Me.. It felt way too early to be up even tho it was lunchtime.

After lunch, we walked around a bit before driving into Sentosa. If you booked a hotel room in Sentosa, you just need to present your reservation at the gantry to go in for free. :D

We were served drinks (I think peach tea) as we were waiting for them to process our check in..

The lobby has a rustic vibe to it but it was a very pleasant atmosphere.

We were then shown to our room and boy was it HUGE. We had an actual living room.

Initially, he kept asking me if I knew what the present was.. I think he expected me to recognise the brand.. Which i did.. but I had no idea what they sold hahah.

Here's the pic from my phone. (=

The spreads..

My favourite is the chashew cookie!

damn happy. =D

We soon left Capella to check out Victoria's Secret at Resorts World. It was SO disappointing. They only sold panties and fragrances. Makes you even wonder why they bother opening a store here in Singapore..

Anyway here we are waiting at the bus stop for the sentosa bus.

Photobucket

So ulu.. No cars lol.

We eventually decided on dinner at hard rock cafe.. We were still pretty full from tea so we shared an appetiser an main course. (:

Soon it was back to the lovely Capella...

Photobucket

We chilled at Bob's bar for ~1 hr enjoying the good music and the ultra comfy day bed.

The band here is super awesome.. The singer has this gravelly voice that sounds like Bryan Adams! =D

Photobucket

And that's all for the first day! :D I was so tired at the end of it and it was so shiok to just fall into the über big and comfy bed at the end of the day :D

Ending this post with a pic of the view from Capella at night...
