Review: Staycation at Oasia Hotel
Tuesday, December 13th, 2011
Usually every December, the boy and I will be traveling to Bangkok to party away but this year, we found a bit hard to get away. We then decided to go for a staycation!
We had found out about Oasia Hotel from Eevon and with the current Oasia Weekend Promotion, we thought it was quite a good deal!
Oasia Hotel is conveniently located next to Velocity. Great area, near town and there’s lots of eateries nearby.
We had booked a Club Room. We had went to the reception desk and was ushered to Level 22 instead to check in and check out. Much lesser people there, we managed to beat the queue!
Level 22 was exclusive to Club floor guests. This was where we had access to The Living Room (where drinks and light snacks were available all day).
I’ll cover more about The Living Room later.
Review: Mellben Seafood
Sunday, November 20th, 2011
I’ve been going to Mellben Seafood rather regularly since the Toa Payoh outlet is just opposite Ching Chong Boy‘s place. And everytime I tweet or check in via Foursquare, I tend to evoke certain responses from my BFF Jace.
“Wah so shiok!”
“Bo jio!”
“I also want“
Ching Chong Boy and I decided to “jio” Jace and Boss (that’s what she calls her bf!) to Mellben Seafood one weekend. We did not make any reservations but we reached rather early at 6pm as from previous experiences, it tends to get rather crowded from 6.30pm onwards.
Girly outings! + TheBlogShop online!
Saturday, November 12th, 2011There has been quite a number of girly outings but I haven’t had the time to pen it down… so…
Here’s a condensed version!
1) Makan outing at Handburger with Jacelyn!
Before our makan outing, I went with BFF to Strip to get our brazilian waxing done! Am kinda considering Brazilian IPL. Has anyone gotten it done before?
We shared a meal at Handburger as we weren’t extremely hungry. BIG mistake. The food was good! I will be heading down again and I’ll do a proper review this time!
Ching Chong Boy’s birthday celebration – Staycation at Grand Park City Hall Hotel
Monday, September 26th, 2011
I’ve skipped the proper sequence I know. I should have blogged about this before the Star Virgo entry 
oops!
Last year’s birthday celebration was full of surprise but this year’s was a bit less “surprising”.
A few days before his birthday, I told Ching Chong Boy that we were going for a staycation the day before his birthday. He was extremely surprised as he had thought the cruise was the only thing he was getting for his birthday. :X
We stayed at Grand Park City Hall Hotel which is located at City Hall (duh, it’s name is pretty obvious :X) and is conveniently located near City Hall mrt station.
“Grand Park City Hall is strategically located within the historically vibrant Civic District. Within walking distance are some of Singapore’s oldest and historical landmarks – a living glimpse into the city-state’s history.
The ten-storey atrium hotel combines the charm of restored, century-old shophouses and modern architecture, providing an interesting mix that has earned it the prestigious Architectural Heritage Award.
Grand Park City Hall is also within the Central Business District and the new Downtown, providing easy access for business needs. The hotel is next to Raffles City, Suntec and Marina Bay shopping hubs, providing guests endless retail therapy possibilities.”
We stayed in a Deluxe Room at the Crystal Club Floor.
Ching Chong Boy’s birthday celebration – My Star Virgo 6D5N cruise to Ho Chi Minh & Redang experience!
Friday, September 23rd, 2011
Remember my previous entry? I had celebrated Ching Chong Boy’s birthday by arranging for a staycation and massage the day before his birthday (which I will blog about it later…) and for his birthday, we went for a cruise! To be exact, the Star Virgo 6D5N cruise to Ho Chi Minh & Redang. This was made possible by Nuffnang and Star Cruises! <3
I figured that blogging by each activities day by day might be a tad messy and confusing to read thus I decided to go thru the following in this order!
1.The room
2. The makan places
3. The facilities
4. The activities
5. Ho Chi Minh
6. Redang
Random camwhoring pictures will be inserted in between. :X
I had brought along Colin who brought along Ivan! Glad to have them on this trip! Great company 
We enjoyed a rather VIP check in, very hassle free and my Guest Service Officer Vivian was a great help. She helped arranged for all tours and reservations!
We were treated with a welcome drink and was given a tour of the facilities and restaurants in Star Virgo.
Back for another staycation at Quincy Hotel Singapore.
Friday, September 2nd, 2011
As some of you guys may know, I really adore staycations. You’ve probably read about a few of my staycations episodes in this Singapore Lifestyle Blog. And one of them was the Girly Staycation which I had with a few girlfriends last year.
We had stayed in Quincy Hotel back then and we had enjoyed the experience.
Imagine my surprise when my good friend Fidelis (who runs The Clover Fashion) had kindly invited Ching Chong Boy and myself to join her and Jeremy (her new beau) for a couple staycation at Quincy Hotel!
Fidel had managed to get us both bumped up from a Deluxe King to Deluxe Studio room. *SCORE!*
Here are some pictures of the room.
Travel: Part One of Day Two of Girls Gone Wild in KL!
Saturday, August 27th, 2011
Thankfully Apple Hotel had wifi, I couldn’t find those data prepaid cards. As I’ll be heading to Malaysia pretty soon again, I am looking for a prepaid data card, best is if it’s for Blackberry. Does anyone know where I can get them in Malaysia? Do their 7Elevens sell them?
Anyway, we read that Bukit Bintang was fairly near our hotel. We walked to Bukit Bintang and explored Bukit Bintang and Sungei Wang.
First up, our outfits of the day!
Nakhon Kitchen: Yummy Thai food
Wednesday, August 17th, 2011
Dear Jace brought me to Nakhon Kitchen recently! I’ve heard so much about the place but have never been there! Turns out they opened a branch in Bedok North and that’s pretty near to where both Jace and I stay. (hahaha not that near la, but it’s a few stops away!)
We waited say 15mins to get a seat. It isn’t an air-conditioned place so be prepared to sweat it out. Luckily we managed to get a seat outside and it was rather cooling that day.
Pictures of us before we stuff our face!
BFF and her iced tea!
Me! I tried braiding my fringe but failed. LOL. I loved this dress from TheBlogShop but an unfortunate incident happened earlier that day and the hem got badly torn.
Here’s what we ordered. 
(Picture by Jace)
We ordered the Thai Mango Salad (S$5), one of my personal favourites. I really like mango salads, love how they tantalise my tastebuds with the different sensations, sour, spicy and sweet!
We shared a portion of the Pineapple rice (S$6). Hmmm, I thought it was comparable to other pineapple rice sold elsewhere. i.e. didn’t think it was that special.
The Tom Yum Soup (S$6) is delish. Too spicy for both Jace and I though but we were sipping away despite our tummies burning. I loved that it was full of ingredients, definitely value for money! Go for this! (But you may wanna ask them to tone it down for you :p)
I wanted to try the Kangkong (S$6) as I’m a huge Sambal Kangkong fan. It was a bit disappointing as I expected it to be spicier. Not too bad but I guessed my expectations were set too high.
We tried the Deep Fried Squid (S$10). Jace and I both felt that the squid wasn’t crispy enough. Would have given it full marks if it was!
Yums!
Hahhahaa BFF looks so serious here!
Absolutely adore the Mango Sticky Rice (S$4). <3
Overall really liked the place, good value for money, very affordable. Definitely a better experience as compared to the previous makan session at Porn’s.
