Singapore Visit

September 29, 2008
November 2005 – We went to Singapore to spend our second year wedding anniversary. Our boy was 1 year and i month old that time.

1. Visited Orchard Road: Orchard road is the most happening place in Singapore for shopping, hanging out with friends, etc. It’s a very lively place with big malls around.

2. Enjoyed Berjaya Hotel. And of course, as you can guess by now – our 4 day/3 night- stay at Berjaya Hotel in Singapore was sponsored by a friend.

3. Our favorite place in Singapore – Sentosa Island

On the background was the southenmost tip of South East Asia.

Beach Tram ride – (Omigosh… can’t believe how long my hair was!)

Beach tram in the background. There’re so many things to do and see in Sentosa Island. You need to ride in beach transportations to get around. There were buses, beach trams, trains, etc. There were a lot of attractions at Sentosa Island like the Fort Siloso, Dolphin Show, Moneky Show, and Underwater World (which they said was better than Aquaria KLCC). I’ve gone to Underwater World but that was 5 years ago so I can’t compare it now with the Aquaria here in Malaysia.

Avillion Resort, Port Dickson

September 28, 2008
One of the honeymoon destinations in my wish list I had (before getting married) was Avillion Hotel in Port Dickson, Malaysia. I just loved the concept of the hotel. It’s super romantic. The honeymoon suites had bathrooms that were facing the ocean, with glass walls. It would have been nice to spend our honeymoon there. But of course, it was also nice in Cameron Highlands (Equatorial Hotel) where we had our honeymoon: 1. because it was sponsored by a friend and 2. It has a cool place that was really ideal for honeymooners. We didn’t stay in the honeymoon suite in Avillion, Port Dickson but we stayed in one of their standard rooms which was also great. It was a Mother’s Day surprise from my husband when I was pregnant with my second child.

Avillion Port Dickson stands for the calming wonders of water. It is a place that brings forth an invitation to reawaken the senses as it endlessly draws the splendour of the sea. Sitting on a waterfront landscape imbued with the magnificence of the Straits of Malacca, this world-class resort offers the simple pleasures of seaside living that embodies Old World glamour and the comforts of modern lifestyle.
