Over the weekend, 6 of us made an impromptu trip down to Singapore. Vuitton managed to get good rates for one of the hotels near Marina Bay, so we thought, why not? We've never really visited that place since it was opened for business anyway.
So on Friday evening, braving the bad traffic after the heavy downpour, we made our way down to Malacca to swap ourselves an Alphard. Vuitton's parents were so kind as to buy us a nice Malay dinner ala kampung style. Yummy. Seafood's my all-time fave so for me it was a big big bonus.
One grilled fish, 2 plates of otak-otak and several plates of BBQ-ed prawns and crabs later, we continued our journey.
The hotel had a pretty awesome view, day or night.

The next two days were spent pretty much on a leeeetle bit of shopping, and for the boys some casino donations.
We also headed to Resorts World at Sentosa, which was basically Genting in Singapore. But I must say that Universal Studios was pretty impressive.

The same night, Ken Ji took us to a Thai club which he insisted was NOT DODGY. Un-dodgy as he made it sound, the club was located at the top floor of Orchard Plaza -- one of the 3 legalized red light districts in the whole of Singapore. Haha. But sure enough, that place was pretty harmless, aptly named Neverland. Sounds like a child's playground, doesn't it?
Time simply flew by. Before we knew it, the trip had ended. But we all decided unanimously that a group weekend trip to Singapore every 6-monthly is food for the soul. Well, I guess we can take that literally coz we did down quite a bit of good chomps this time :)
