14th - 15th DEC 2009 -outdated.
First .. Happy New Year, 2010 for the both of us!
Now, I'll update on the short getaway we had on the beautiful island of Sentosa. Hmm ..
We stayed in Amara Sanctuary for that 2 days which was very well-furnished and comfortable. Just the place we needed to chill-ax. Haha.
First day, we went up to Fort Siloso, free entries granted from an ex-colleague who was the stand-in IC of the day. It was my first time taking a walk there as a visitor rather than a staff, and it was enjoyable to walk through the history of Singapore. I managed to squeeze out that little bit of memory I had to explain to dear the different information and also present some interesting hideouts other visitors might not know. Hehe ..
Next was a walk by the beach looking for dinner and taking a few photos (actually a lot of photos whenever I am with dear, HAHA!) of the sunset along Palawan. We settled for this Beach Cafe on Siloso beach, somewhere near the Luge & Skyride, and I must say they serve great food, especially the beef burger. Trust me, it was the best burger I have tasted, yet. Haha! The open setting of the restaurant was great, and since it was a weekday, there wasn't a crowd filling the place, heightening our dining experience there =D.
Songs of the Sea was the next attraction we visited, again, free entries courtesy of my ex-colleague. Haha. I think it was so much more enjoyable to be watching with some one you love or with your friends than watching it with your colleagues after getting the visitors seated. HAHA!
We made a trip to the Butterfly park on the second day afternoon, and dear wasn't as afraid of insects as I thought she might be! Haha. She didn't dodge and scurry away when a huge butterfly flew pass, nor did she scream or hide. Ok, she was disgusted by those abnormally large beetles, but she was more fascinated by the different butterflies. Haha.
After spending a long time at the park, we had late lunch at this other restaurant. We weren't particularly hungry so we shared some food and the rain spoilt our plan for the Luge & Skyride after our meal. With no other choices, we headed back to Amara to collect our bags and left for Wiwo City, and home next.
*That was also the day dear didn't feel very healthy and started to fall sick the next day, and a few days later discovered that she had dengue. She's all well now though =D.
All in all, I enjoyed my getaway with dear, even if it's only at Sentosa. Nothing fancy, nothing over the top, just she and I spending our little quiet time together.
I love these getaways =D.
