After the previous day's hooha with my friends and family, went for a short getaway with Dearie at Holiday Inn Atrium. Part of my 21st birthday gift from him.
Dearie came over to my place to fetch me in the morning and we headed straight to our destination where slumber awaits us. Both of us were so shagged after staying up since saturday midnight.
The Lobby and Lift lights. I want such lights in my dressing room for my future house!
Our room was located on the 15th floor and directly overlooking the CBD area with many skyscrapers and landmarks. It was a pity that we could not get the higher floors above 20th storey though. Anyway, it may interest you to know that Holiday Inn Atrium was formerly known as the Glass Hotel and lastly as Concorde.
:: Deluxe Room ::
I was fumbling with the drawers and finally spotted the hairdryer, packed in a velvety green pouch and place discreetly on the safety deposit box. The green pouch reminds me of a magician's bag, where you can expect a furry bunny to jump out anytime. Haha.
After the mini-tour around our room, took a short nap as we hadn't manage to catch much rest after the singing session last night. Woke up in the evening to prepare for a night out at Clarke Quay, which is just a 15-minute walk away.
Dearie just after his shower looking real sexy in the bathrobes. =P
Rehearsing for our wedding album shoots. Don't you think the bath robes resemble the tradtional Japanese costumes?
We decided to save on transport and walk all the way to Clarke Quay. Did some sightseeing along the way. I realised there's still many hidden quaint little corners and streets in SG that I don't know of!
Dearie brought me to our favourite Italian restaurant (I forgot its name), which we had dined at on our first Valentine in year 2005. He knows I love the Tiramisu (best I've ever had). Fyi, this restaurant is located right beside the reverse bungy.
Boy we were ravenous as that was our first meal of the day.
Italian Cuisine. Hawaiian Pizza, Scalloppe Chicken with Rum and Tiramisu. These are some of their dishes, all smacklippiecious!
We strolled along Clarke Quay for abit after dinner to digest the devoured food. Watched some angmohs tried the bungee. Found it pretty amusing that those who were watching were screaming even louder den the players.
Turkish Ice-cream anyone?? Love his costume.
Resting our feet before proceeding to our next destination - Chinatown. By foot again!
We wanted to see who can take a more artsy picture. Well well..
Had shark fin's soup and bbq chicke wings at Chinatown and did some grocey shopping at 7-Eleven so we wouldn't go hungry at the hotel later. Look at what we got!
Some random pictures. I have a quirky fancy for hotels' complimentaries. Love the different types of tea leaves, coffee, sugars, toiletries etc. The more delicate, the better.
Our shoes. See the difference in our sole sizes. Btw, both heels belong to me alrite.
Once back at the hotel, washed up and settle comfortably under the covers. Watched Saw II and Croc, whilst snacking on the junkies we bought. It was 4am when we finally retreated to lalaland.
:: Next Morning ::
Ordered room service. Had American Breakfast where they serve generous portions of scrambled eggs, sausages, bacons, danish pastries and toasts. There were juice and brewed coffee as well. Just the type of breakfast I like.
Self-made Kokocrunch cereal to go along.
Slowly savoured our huge breakfast whilst watching Australia Network which is a really cool channel. A pity I don't have it at home.
Here's a few of the hotel's facilities.
Checked out at 12noon and cabbed back to his home. Caught What Happens in Vegas in the evening. Funny flick worth catching.
It was an awesome 21st Birthday, all thanks to my dearie's efforts and plannings. And also to Onion Squad, my family and my StarHub colleagues. I felt loved and cared for. Appreciate every of my loved ones whom I have met at junctions of my life journey and made a difference. May God bless you all.
