Saturday, April 30, 2011 Old Man's 29th Birthday! Last Friday was Good Friday, Earth Day, and Baby's Birthday! So many good things happening on the same day. Since it was a public holiday, I booked a hotel room in Mandarin Orchard Hotel (please stop telling me it's Meritus Mandarin because the actual name of the hotel is Mandarin Orchard, which is in the Meritus group of hotels), from Agoda. The room was supposed to be at a weekend special rate, S$199 per night, but after adding taxes and stuff, the total amount I paid was around S$240, which is way cheaper than if you have booked from the hotel directly. We met at Orchard MRT Station at 11am and walked to the hotel, but there was an extremely long queue at the hotel, and only ONE check in counter. So we waited for quite some time in the queue. He was busying replying the birthday wishes on FB while queuing.  Finally! We checked in and went up to our room. As usual, some photos of our room. Having stayed in Carlton Hotel and this hotel, I personally feel that the rooms at Carlton hotel is way better! I paid around the same amount of money for both rooms but the room I got at Carlton was bigger and feels more cozy than this!  Slanted photo, due to my lousy photography skills. Hehe. No splendid view from the hotel room. ☹ Another 歪掉的照片。    Surprised him with the presents moments after we finished taking photos of the room. He claimed that he was surprised, but there was NO trace of shock on his face. Haha.    Tadah!! I got his totally practical and useful stuff! An additional iPhone charger, so that he can charge his phone at home and in his office, and a 1TB external hard disk. I got him the hard disk because I have been using his eversince he got it, which is in turn due to my old hard disk not being compatible with Mac OS. Now everyone is happy, with one hard disk each.  After checking in, we went to have lunch. I wanted to bring him to Wild Honey, which is at Mandarin Gallery, but it was too crowded and there were alot of people queuing outside. Being hungry, we decided to go elsewhere, and ended up at Waraku.. boring, but because he's not particular with food, he was fine with anywhere.  After lunch, we went to the Singapore Flyer, because there was a promotion for SIA staff. But too bad it wasn't applicable on public holidays, so we decided to go back another time, and went strolling nearby.    While walking back to Cityhall, we saw a stretched limo! 1st time seeing it in real life, and in Singapore, so as a suaku, I MUST take a photo of it! Haha. After that, we went back to the hotel room and told him I have planned for dinner at the Forum Galleria. I had planned a surprise, with kind help from JJ, and invited his friend to have dinner together. He was totally in the dark until we wanted to leave the hotel to walk to Forum, and when he removed my handphone from the charger, the screen lit up and he saw JJ's message to me saying "Meet there at 615".Well, the surprise was only partly spoilt, as I lied to him and said that there's only JJ. Then, while walking there, and he was standing behind me on the escalator, JJ messaged again to tell me "We waiting at the basement", and he saw. So, in the end, he knew that there were more than JJ. Sigh. He said he was still shocked by the crowd though, because there were about 10 people, including us, and he was expecting 4-5. Hehe.     We forgot to take a group photo, but one of his couple friends bought him a water bottle for his birthday present. This couple also brought their 1+ year old son, and their son tried to kiss this Caucasian little girl! So adorable! Haha. That's basically the end of the day. We went back to the hotel to sleep and checked out the next day.While walking around in Orchard, we saw this interesting vending machine in ION. If you're hoping, like me, that the machine is selling hunks with great bodies, it's not. The machine sells briefs. Haha. How innovative! I wonder how many they sell per day.  Lastly, Singapore's General Elections is coming, and this year, it is so exciting!! Maybe it's also because I get to vote for the 1st time in my life this year. I am quite neutral about the election, but I feel that PAP should provide better response for certain questions and issues, and stop threatening the voters, us, with the development in our area. Opposition parties are rather hardworking and gaining more support this year. I wonder who will win? |
