Happy (belated) Valentine's Day everyone! This was my Valentine's Day outfit of sorts- Ben and I don't really buy into the whole fancy dinner/roses thing, so wearing a pretty pink frock would have been a tad excessive. Not that I would wear a pretty pink anything.

The rest of the photos are just going to be random snaps from our staycation at the Park Regis. I've been whining about needing a vacation for the longest time and Ben surprised me with a room! Such a sweet boy, I must remember to be nicer to him.












My latest acquisition, a vintage Céline chain from the 80's! A valentine's gift to myself, if you will.





My dad told me about this great Indian vegetarian restaurant in Central Square that works on a pay-as-you-please basis! I went there for 3 lunches in a row because it is that good!


Don't you love his shirt? Its so fun and quirky and best of all- its unisex! Get it at Asos.com.





Have a good week guys- mine is going to be busy!

xx

Anyone who knows me, knows the sun and I have a very unstable relationship, falling on the side of hate on the love-hate spectrum most of the time. And yet... I went to Sentosa this week. Sigh the things I do for my friends.



Don't really have a proper picture but I love this gold bikini I got from Spain. Damn obnoxious and loud haha.





So we trekked from one end of Siloso beach to the other looking for volleyball courts anddddd the public ones were all taken. We found an empty one but we were told it was reserved for hotel guests only. So... we kinda just booked a room (/_\). Don't judge. Turned out it was a really good idea because we had somewhere to shower and clean up before dinner. The public bathrooms were jammed packed cause of some school's team building day.



The private volleyball court/beach. Sounds really spoilt and gross I know but, it was wonderful.



We met up at Vivo before to get a volleyball but we ended up getting floats too LOL.



"MAI FLOAT. MINE!"





Wah seh this Carrie Wong. Sporty max. Check out those muscles.



Awesome thing about being a hotel guest is that the pool/bar was just next to the court so it was super convenient buying drinks hehe.



Hotel lobby! This is the Shangri-La's Rasa Sentosa Resort. 



View from our room's floor.





Yeah that's me makeup-less. I think I look at least 5 years younger.







The room! The king sized bed was hugeeeee and there was a balcony! Not bad this room, can consider it for the next staycation! It's pretty pricey though, SGD$400 per night. Thank god there were four of us willing to split the cost.



Found this damn funny lol.



Waiting for the boys to hurry up and shower. This is our hungry faces D:



On a completely random note that's totally unrelated to this post, I got my hair done yesterday! Love what the guy did to my hair, especially the way he cut it. All the dried fucked up bleached parts from when I went blonde are gone so now my hair is relatively healthy! Happy max haha. The salon is on the 5th floor of Far East Plaza, in case anyone is interested. The guy who did my hair is called Kim and he was super patient with me even though I took ages to decide on a colour and asked 53457342 questions that probably seemed stupid to him.

TGIF! xx 

Part of the boy's birthday was a 2night stay the Ascott Residences Raffles Place. We've been doing hotels previously and we really wanted somewhere where we'd be able to cook ourselves meals and really just chilling for those 3 days. I chose Ascott because it's the only one I know in Singapore that does short-term stays. Most of the others require you to be there for at least a week- if only I had that much dough to blow.

And I was really impressed with the place! Very posh lobby, attentive staff and even the smallest rooms (Studio Apartments) are pretty spacious, even the kitchen in the picture above.





Super excited that there was a dishwasher LOL. Never had one at home and goddamn, not having to do them by hand is freaking awesome.



Kitchen was well equipped too, with all the crockery and utensils. Not enough pans? Just call Housekeeping and they'll send one to your room.





We were actually given a slightly smaller room (without this living room area) but got this when we requested for a smoking room. At least i'm not just getting cancer out of it.



THE BED WAS AWESOME. I really like those sturdy beds, which it was and it's hugeeee! The quilt was nice too, not those downfeather ones that get hot in the middle of the night, but one with a much ligher padding.





We even had 2 TVs. #sweet #scored

Went out for dinner after settling in because we hadn't gotten groceries to cook with yet, and we had to buy food for the gathering we were hosting.



OOTD: Top: Club Monaco, Shorts: Zara, Shoes: Topshop, Bracelet: Miu Miu, Ring: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Bag: Chanel

So happy I managed to find that Miu Miu bracelet in the colour I wanted in Spain! They only brought in a few pieces to Singapore and I bought it cheaper too.



Went to Paradise Dynasty because I was craving Chinese food!

Love the interior, so kuazhang.



Had the famous 8 Flavour Xiao Long Bao. From Left: Yellow: Cheese, Green: Ginger, Beige: Foie Gras, Orange: Crab Roe, White: Normal, Gray: Garlic, Pink: Sze Chuan, Black: Black Truffle.

I LOVE the truffle and foie gras flavours. They managed to somehow coax those strong flavours into those tiny bags.



Cucumbers with garlic and sesame oil and lava eggs. These weren't bad, but the egg was standard and I prefer the same version of the cucumbers with black fungus at Swee Choon. Definitely could have done without, but did I mention I was also starving by then?



This is one of my favourites! I don't know what's wrong with the autofocus on my camera so excuse me for the blurriness. This is stir fried beef slices in a sze chuan bean sauce. Beef is really tender, albeit for tenderizer, but the bean sauce is amazing. The amount of sze chuan chilis they cooked it with was just nice too, the heat was only a hint after the bean sauce.



Pan fried buns and chicken fried with sze chuan chilis (so happy the boy likes his spicy food). The buns were alright, but i've had better at this other place I can't recall now. The chicken was good though. No bones, so it's kinda like spicy popcorn chicken.



Went to pick up some good olive oil from an artesanal olive oil place. Also located at the same level as Paradise Dynasty, just walk around, you can't miss it.



Newly stocked larder from Three Sixty Marketplace, also along the same level as Paradise Dynasty.



Going to hit the pool! Did I mention that the Ascott Residences also has a pool, jacuzzi, gym and rooftop garden. Bathrobe was super thick and heavy.



Infinity-esque pool concept! Water was damn cold so we stayed in for like only 5 minutes lolol.



View from the pool! Pretty spectacular but the boy was like, "I can see work from here -_____-"



Went up to the jacuzzi instead. Perhaps the smartest option at 10pm.







Went to a bar to watch the France-England match after. Was quite nice actually, seeing the expats here cheering for their home country. Damn patriotic! I wish I could do the same for Singapore.

So this is day 1! In day 2, watch DJ Zushan fry up some burgers~ (and a huge ass milo dinosaur)
