The Sentosa Resort & Spa Day 3

Sat, 5th July 08


So the initial plan was to wake up at 7am, eat our breakfast then go back to sleep till 12 and check out at 1pm then go to underwater world.


Of course we were too tired to wake up and finally scrambled to eat at 9:30am and Breakfast ends at 10:30am! Today, the breakfast was disappointing yet again. In place of hashbrowns were baked potato, and of mushrooms, tomatoes!


There were also fried noodle and fried rice... but i need something... that's NOT VEGE!! Alas, a check with the Muslim waiter, revealed that the chicken in siew mai and sausages are NOT halal cos they come in supermarket packets kind, as opposed to kitchen cooked item like the Indian meals. All the things that i liked from the previous day's breakfast were not there. Not even the sugary cinnamon roll!


Zubair just had a glass of milk, 1/2 a waffle + scrambled eggs and cereal with milk. I kept urging him to take some more cos its a god damn buffet! Such a waste if u dont eat! But he insisted he was full. Which always mean that he doesnt like the food. Again, i felt guilty for Z that he didnt get a good Breakfast spread.


We hung around the swimming pool. Z wanted to swim. I had even packed our swimming attires but felt too shy to do so.

Look at how big and open the pool is!

No intimacy like Amara's at all! Fri night was ideal time to swim but was afraid will get chased out by the staff. Besides! Only 1/5 of the pool is below 1.4m and both of us are not qualified swimmers.

At the lobby while waiting for the Yellow Line to come

To my bewilderment, i was asked to foot the bill for the room service as well as mini bar items which amounts to a whopping $92.99! I almost fainted. I tried to negotiate with them that Mike already agreed to cover these expenses but her argument is that, he wasnt there to verify the purchase. Thank god my CitiBank card got thru, otherwise we would be washing dishes instead of sight seeing!

The plan was to park our luggage at the hotel first before going to Underwater World. But now that i have 90% maxed the credit card, i dont think it can take another $22 x 2 for the entrance fee! But i do have some money in the bank. Enough to take the cable car ($10.90 x 2) and cab ($19) home (and still be able to last for another week).

So because we're going home straight, we hafta lug the bags with us: 1 trolley, 1 keyboard, 1 paper bag filled with projector, and my big side bag. Worse, we had to change bus from Yellow to the Red / Blue Line to go to the Cable Car station. I felt so embarassed with all the bags. Macam Makcik dgn pakcik balik pasar.

There was no queue at all for the way back. I got paranoid that our car was lopsided, heavy on one side with all the bags but Z told me not to worry. And i stopped worrying. I suppose there heavier pple who are seated on just one side of the car before and it turned out alright.

I love this picture! Zubair, on his own initiative, put it up on desktop. *HUGS*

Zubair said, "From below, it looked so far but when you're in it, so fast reached the end of the journey." I replied, "Good. I kinda prayed that it wont last long." Though i dont have a phobia of heights but i get paranoid. Its not like there's never been an accident before.


It was a nice feeling that when we came home, it was only Saturday. Like the clock got rewound (past tense of rewind??). We caught up on sleep then......


Again, i felt guilty for not fulfilling my hyped up promise to him to visit The Underwater World.


My darling, i hope u had enjoyed Sentosa even though the food was terrible, u were alone most of the time (w restricted funds) and we didnt really sight see much. I hope u won't regret coming with me. I suppose it IS much better than having to stay at home, na?


But something soothed my ear that will echo forever and ever. That is when he said in sheer excitement, "Dont quit this company ok?" after Mike said we could order anything.


Phew! I didnt think i could finish writing about it today! Now concentrate on work!
