Have you heard of Staycations? I didn't till last year when I learned that my cousin took one every month. Turns out that it's a local vacation by staying in a hotel, enjoying the experience of being a tourist in one's own country.
I jumped at the opportunity to do one a couple of days ago given that Rotem, my Israeli friend was leaving Singapore.
Room with a gorgeous view and the famous MBS laser show (10mins) that plays every night at 8pm, 930pm (and 11pm on weekends).
We checked out the infinity pool at night. :) It was so gorgeous!
And Gerard & Rotem challenged me to open my eyes under water without goggles FOR THE FIRST TIME! I did it! lol.
Took Rotem to the MBS food court thereafter for her last Singaporean dinner, at least for a little while. I'm generally not impressed with the quality of the food there + prices are 2x what you would get elsewhere. But I highly, highly recommend the beef soup! :)
Went for a workout in the Banyan Tree Fitness Club in the morning overlooking my former work haunt, then took another dip in the infinity pool! :)
Also took a quick soak in the super hot, bubbling jacuzzi overlooking the Gardens by the Bay. Ahhhhh, that's another place I need to go check out for some Zingapore inspiration.
Lunch was at Bay Sushi at MBS. I had the zero carbs sushi and found it okayyyyy. I think food presentation here is lovely, but you're paying more for the ambience/ location rather than the taste.
Looking forward to the next staycation! :) It's a pretty neat idea!
