Dear Diary,
Work have been pretty busy and it was going to be D's birthday around the corner. At the same time, he was also going to be transferred to a different work location and Annual Leave will be a problem for him.
I, myself couldn't find any good dates for Annual Leave as I was busy too at work. Covid samples testing are just thousands over thousands every single shift. Until finally I found us a good date.
Day 1 - 25th August 2021
We booked a hotel with Fullerton Bay. I saw one of my colleague who did a staycation there before and boy, the hotel is so beautiful. And just opposite you can see Marina Bay Sands. We drove to Fullerton Bay since my dad was not going to use the car. The hotel came with complimentary parking.
So excited upon arrival to the parking itself. But it was a distance to walk from the parking to the hotel itself. Lol! The check-in was smooth and the staff was so friendly. No wonder it's a 5 star hotel.
We booked on weekdays and it came with a complimentary free room upgrade as well as late check-out at 6pm. There's also free breakfast buffet for two.
So anyway, when we entered our room, D was so surprised. He knew we're gonna have a staycation for his birthday and our anniversary but he didn't know I emailed the hotel to have a surprise for him for both occasion. It was really sweet that they gave us a balloon, a cake and macarons.
Again, I forgot to take pictures of the hotel because too engross with Instagram story. Haha! We spent the night at the hotel instead of going out because we paid a good $540/night for the hotel and we wanted to just STAY and not go anywhere. Haha! Well, we did use the ReDiscover Voucher from D's, so minus $100 off.
And the view at night, it's just so nice.
And of course, what is bathtubs without bath bombs right.
Day 2 - 26th August 2021
We booked breakfast at 8am. One of the earliest slot because you know how night shift have been for me. I wake up as early as 4am and will be starving. Lol! And I need food. We were also the only 2 people who came down for breakfast at that hour. Hahaha! But the breakfast was good though. The servings was also generous.
Unlike Park Royal Marina Bay, the hotel staff asked us if we wanted anything else of the menu. So we knew we can have another servings of anything else from the menu without being scared if we had to pay extras or what. Lol! And so we did ask for more servings for our breakfast for the morning. Hehe!
After breakfast, we rested for a while in our room for food to digest before heading off to the pool.
The pool view was nice. We could see Marina Bay Sands from it. They have 2 jacuzzi too, which we tried first before heading off to the big pool. There was only 2 people at that point of time. It was definitely shiok, it felt like we had the pool to ourselves. Usually, I don't really like to spend so long at the pool but here it was just so nice that I was really dragging myself to leave the pool. D had to ask me so many times if we're done and I keep telling him 10 mins for like almost 3 times. Hehe!
After swimming, we went back to the hotel and make the best out of it before we check out at 1800 hours.

And of course one last bath bomb before heading home.
Bid our goodbyes to the hotel at 1800hours,
I will definitely recommend Fullerton Bay Hotel for staycation. No regrets! The staffs were all nice and we really had a pleasant stay. The only thing there was no bidet spray. Lol! Other than that, everything was really good.
And headed off for dinner at Westgate to try out Tokyo Shokudo.
If you like Ichikukodu, you'll definitely will like this too.
Till our next staycation or is it holidays now? Hehe! Since we're allowed to travel via VTL (Vaccination Travel Lane) but I guess we won't be traveling anytime soon. I shall wait for a few months at least or probably a year.
XOXO,
Azie A. ♥
