Event: ACS Marine Seminar
Date: 5th - 7th July 07
Venue: Amara Sanctuary Sentosa
Absolutely gorgeous spacious room. I may not have a nice view of the sea like the other room but i got a wider room n wider bathroom. just Splendid.
On Thurs, Zubair wanted to come to Sentosa early like at 4pm on his own w bags and all. However, Mummy STRONGLY suggested that they send him instead cos:
1. no dinner provided for him in sentosa
2. He can hv dinner at my Mak Long's place first
3. Heavy bag
4. Scared he might get lost
So in the end, he reached only at 11pm!! :( in a way sad... but in another, glad. That he's taken dinner and reached me safely. And so... this is our first honeymoon..
The next day, after bfast (for 2), i showed him how to get to Pahlawan BEach and then i headed off to the seminar. but he slept thru till 11am! Nonsense i told him sleeping in at sentosa is a sin! hahah bcos there's so much to see.. but maybe just as well bcos we didnt finish till 3pm. we had lunch, but he had to get his at the beach. i, hereby, declare that i appreciate my manager's thoughtfulness in ordering fish and some seafood entree for lunch.
After that was Fun & Games husbands and all... We went to Beach Station to play the LUGE... we each got 3 rides! Oh my god it was super super fun! After a sweating hot day, we stopped for drinks and found out that the 3 ladies from HK cldnt stomach the Skyride and only took their rides ONCE and they still have 2 x 3pax worth of ride and my manager passed it to me. Sadly, we didnt manage to get back to the place again.. i wonder if the ticket's still valid, though?
Dinner was a jolly affair. I dont know how but we somehow clicked very well with this colleague and her husband. Normally, we dont really talk very much but i guess her husband was friendly and together we all chatted about everything under the sun.
There were a lot of children. But of cos my fav is this 3 yr old french boy.
and then suddenly.. the day was over and we were going home the next day already... but we had one more gathering the next day at bfast. last year, Hidayah and i purposely stayed in bed till 10 or something and missed bfast w the rest. I realised it is a good feeling to wake up early esp on weekends... makes the day feel longer.. and fully used.
Oh but about the hotel... it was newly opened and there was still some construction going on. and there were a LOT of insects. ok not A LOT lah but for a hotel?? i'd consider it as A LOT. it's like their habitat has been disturbed. Poor them. and then after the first night, several pple complained about noises of dripping water, disco beat, toads croaking.. Zubair also heard violin sounds the next day. *SHrug*
Alhamdulillah we slept just fine..
