Staycation at Lloyd's Inn


Hello readers, just came back from our staycation at Lloyd's In, before bf travel to Taiwan for his training. We was trying to find the location of the hotel, apparently, it was some walking distance from somerset MRT station, you will have to find the correct exit that led you to the stretch of shops along the way before reaching the Lloyd's Inn. We didn't actually swim in this pool because it looks kinda small.



Proceeded to check in and bf booked the skyroom type because i preferred that room type with high ceiling!




Check out the staircase in the room!

The staircase will lead you up to the working desk area, but i realised the photo i take is too blurry so i shall not post here.
We went to check out the bathroom area, and this bathtub is so far one of the best bathtub that i like because it's big!


The shower area is separate from the bathtub. Our room was at the ground floor so when i was soaking in the bathtub, we could actually hear noise coming from upstairs,


Personally, i would think this place would suit business travellers who are looking to have some quiet time apart from having to attend meeting in the CBD district. Plenty of peaceful times especially at night. The bed must have been so comfortable that bf fall asleep not long after we check in and rest! I woke him up in the evening when i was watching the tv because i was hungry and wanted to head out for dinner.

I was craving for some tomyum soup so in the end we decided to have thai cuisine!
We choose a ala carte buffet which cost $22.90 but min of 2 pax, and additional of $3.99 for free flow of drinks, the bill was $60++ but i think we didn't really eat alot.

I think i was too hungry that i forgot to take the food photos! Overall, it was a nice dining experience but i think we would probably stick to eating just ala carte because i don't eat so much and it would be quite wasted. There was a nearby NTUC supermarket after our dinner and we went to buy some snacks back to our room while watching the movies available in the channels they have.

It cost about $268 (w/gst) for this staycation which i guess it's pretty cheap compared to those that we used to paid for $300++ Overall, i think it would be a good experience to have your staycation at Lloyds inn but it would be even better if there are activities provided in the hotel.

Till then!

OLM 21st birthday party at Treehouse Villa at Changi


Hello readers!
It was my sister having her 21st birthday party and this time round we managed to book the treehouse villa with the help of my cousin again.
We booked the 3 bedroom villa this time round instead of the 2 bedroom villa that i booked previously!
It seems they only have two unit of three bedroom unit for treehouse villa and they are named as Bagus 1 and 2!

We was there early but the check in time was 3pm!
We was browsing around while the staff were still cleaning up the unit.

This was their outdoor jacuzzi that i feel its not very safe if you are looking to soak yourself naked in it, because anyone could move the divider even though the correct way is to enter by the bathroom door.

The kids was playing with water in this tub during the party.

It looks about the same as the one with the 2 bedroom villa, just a different setting,

I had to emphasise that its important to ensure your doors are locked at all time as i remember on the day of the party, i was accompanying dad and mum out, dad was smoking at the backyard and he forgot to lock the backyard door and we was heading out when olm came down, and she mentioned that she saw a suspicious man open the backdoor and she was asking him something like 'yes'?
and the man merely closed back the door and disappeared after that!
So, its good that she was present in the villa because we won't know what he would do if lm didn't saw him coming in.
The party started in the evening, and it was getting crowded!
couldn't really take a nice photo because i was so busy throughout the party trying to entertain the other guests.

It was very packed and olm had too many friends that most of them had to stand or mingle outside of the villa even though its two storey.
i invited my friends for the party and was trying to host them. I was doing check on the buffet catering and bbq as she ordered for 50pax buffet but the food runs out fast so i ask dad to start the bbq earlier so that there were others who did not get a chance to eat the buffet can eat the BBQ foods as well!
This was her birthday cake! similar to mine but hers was in purple.

I was more excited to help her unwrap all these present with qianci the next morning.
I only slept at 2.30am after the party ended.
My glass of moscato before i head to sleep!
