Marina Bay Sands Hotel Accommodation - Promotion 2012

ABBEY: This is a long-awaited nightout with my wife. Marina Bay Sands had promotional room rates and it coincides on my birthday month. A deluxe room costs 422sgd for a night stay (this doesn't include breakfast). So after our major activity at the office, I look forward relaxing in the arms of Marina Bay Sands. We got there by their airport shuttle at Changi Terminal 2 and checked in at 3pm. 

We were given a room at 24th floor with a view of Gardens by the Bay. The bed is comfy and bathroom is classy. Upon arrival, I indulge in a cup of coffee while my wife on tea. It was a nice stay. I rested well and got enough sleep. I felt revived and rejuvenated. I just wish that we could stay there a little bit longer. 

By 11am we checked out and ended our rendezvous.























WILL: Lo and behold! After Abbey's two years of asking me to have a staycation at this prestigious hotel and considered one of the icons now of Singapore we already stayed of 2D1N in this great structure. 
      Why I never booked before? I really do not see the value of my money for a one night stay, but because Abbey is a member of Sands Rewards, he get the sales and discounts at The Shoppes and with the MBS Room Rates. We read the email and immediately checked how much we can save from the original room rate of almost S$650 a night. We booked for a discounted price of S$350++ and immediately received a confirmation email. A week before your stay, they will send another email for you to fill up a form to expedite your check-in. Stretched out and to experience the whole package in booking a room, we went to Changi Airport Terminal 2 to avail their free coach. Like a boss lei! Haha. For 30mins we arrived the hotel queue for less than 10mins and then we set in our feet in one of Abbey's great wish. 
      As we turned on the tv, my husband's full name appeared and welcoming him. TWG is their complimentary tea, free wifi and an exceptional free coffee for Abbey. We stayed at 24th floor and our view from our room is the Gardens by the Bay. 
     This is a nice experience. Really! We check-out at 11am after a sumptuous buffet breakfast at Sky on 57. They billed a total amount of $422.54 on Abbey's credit card. Worthy! 
     Till next stay MBS ;)

BongKod Traditional Thai Foot Spa


ABBEY: We got this traditional Thai foot reflexology on Groupon at less than 20sgd per person. Bongkod Thai Foot Spa is located at Ang Mo Kio.

Upon reaching the establishment we were welcomed by their staff and asked us to get ready for foot wash and scrub. Once finished we were given a very comfy-kingly chair. It was very relaxing. The masseur put warm towel on our feet and immediately started the session. The ointment/cream applied to our feet is non-greasy and really soothes our tired feet; and it has a good aroma. Upon ending the session they gave us a relaxation tea.








WILL: Thai Massage yes but foot spa?, this is my first time. Bongkod Traditional Thai Foot Spa was located at Ang Mo Kio just behind a wet market, very accessible to the residence along the area. We bought this package for $18.00 at Groupon and immediately redeemed the voucher.
      Once we stepped our feet in their haven, they immediately accommodate us, asked to sit in the middle of the room to wash our tired feet, then we followed and sat to our assigned seat. All of of the people beside us is sleeping while their masseurs were busy striding their fingers on their feet.
      They handed as the hot ginger tea, and soaked my foot on a warm water with tea then my body completely gave in.. Relaxed.
      The masseurs came then started the 60mins session. Gosh, really, they are hitting the painful spots. Relief and relaxed and sleepy, that was I felt after they took off their hands off my feet.
      They have a very friendly staff. Try here, they have also a $10.00 package when we got there,  Very recommendable place.

1st Red Bull Flugtag Singapore - 2012

ABBEY: It's German for "flying day". The event was held at Siloso beach, Sentosa last October 28. The program kicked off at 12 noon. The beach was full of sexy and hunk bods. It's also a day for family to bond. The mechanics of the contest is to have the farthest flight from the ramp. Judges scored the contestants based on how their "aircraft" performed. A 30-second dance routine were displayed by each team and then they will go for their launch. This was organized by Red Bull and their event in Singapore is the first in Southeast Asia.














WILL: Singapore Grand Prix 2012, Human Freefall from the Edge of Space and now Red Bull gave to Singapore the ever first Flugtag to be held in Southeast Asia. 
      Husband asked me to go to this event, with his friend. So wearing our most comfortable clothing and sunblock, sun welcomed us then kissed our skins and bathe with its rays while watching the machines and its pilots fly. 
      I voted for Kaplan City Fliers & Pok Pok K but none of them hit the three top spots. But that never made me depressed, the whole event we were there to watch their performances and all of them push their masterpieces out from the ledge. Really a fun activity for whole family. We are looking forward for the next Flugtag here in Singapore. 
      Thank ou Red Bull, we never had a chance to attend the after party but we really enjoyed this event.
