Our Staycation in Sentosa

We have been planning for our last vacation before the babies arrive but ended up with a local staycation because it is pretty difficult to travel anywhere else at this stage. Felin can't go cruise, can't take ferry or plane and was not advisable to travel too long on the road.

We set off at 11am on 8th Nov (Sat) where we had brunch at Bedok South Blk 18 market before going Sentosa. After brunch, our first stop was Sentosa Cove Village where we had a nice stroll along the jetty. Its a pretty hot day but we enjoyed the scenic and quiet view. There must be a lot of rich people staying there with all the boats and clubs around there. We then had pizza and salad as lunch.


 
 
Thereafter, we proceeded to the Siloso Beach Resort where we booked the deluxe room over 2 nights. The resort is not very new but what I like are the greenery and the pool with that huge waterfall. I swam during the 2nd night and I really enjoyed it. It was really shiok standing under that waterfall and going down the slide heads down.
 

Other than that, I also love the seaside view at the roof-top.
 
We quickly checked in and strolled along the road towards the monorail station and took the monorail to Movenpick Heritage Hotel for our ice-cream. We had their Vanilla and Walnut ice-cream over 10 minutes but we shamelessly sat in the café for nearly 45 minutes drinking their water and read our books. Its really yummy and relaxing...
 

 
We went back hotel for a short rest before taking the Monorail to Vivocity for Dinner. Felin need to buy her contact lens liquid. We had Nasi Lemak at Madam Kwan and we were pretty satisfied with the meal which we don't need to spend too much to enjoy.
 
As it was raining heavily after dinner, we then shopped for a while and rested in Muji till about 10pm. As it was late, we scrambled to buy umbrella but interestingly the rain stopped right after we paid for the umbrella. We took the monorail back and reached hotel at about 11:15pm. We were tired and I slept well but Felin unfortunately woke up quite a number of times throughout the night due to the babies kicks.
 
Our second day started with breakfast where we enjoyed their own grown vegetables and pastries. After breakfast, we went for a short walk at Siloso Beach before going back to sleep till about 12noon.
 
 
We took our instant noodle using the toothbrush from hotel before walking around hotel and laze near the pool area with a book and titbits we brought from home. That was relaxing indeed. We also had a very nice Coconut ice-cream just right outside our hotel.
 
 
 
Initially planned to visit the SEA Aquarium in the afternoon only to find out that the aquarium was closed earlier at 4pm and we changed plan to have the Hokkien Mee and Chendol at the Malaysia food court and bought the Melaka Chicken rice back hotel for dinner. Along the way, we strolled along the Siloso beach and dipped our legs in the sea.
 

 
After the relaxing walk, we went back hotel. I went for a swim and Felin just laze about. After the shiok shiok swim, we had dinner and watched TV together and talked throughout the night till we Zzzz...
 
We had nearly 9 hours of sleep that night and felt refreshed. We had breakfast and ready to check out. We proceeded to Vivocity to park our car before going back Sentosa with our 3 days Sentosa monorail pass to the Aquarium. It was probably a blessing that we did not went on Sunday because Monday morning are less crowded at the Aquarium and we really enjoyed our 2 hours there.
 




 
We officially ended our staycation with lunch at the Malaysia Foodcourt and had our favourite Chicken rice again. We took the Monorail back to Vivocity where I drove Felin back to work and me back to office for the day... Overall, we enjoyed the staycation and had good rest during the 2 nights. We are satisfied with this staycation and shall now look forward the arrival of our babies in 2 months time.
