Staycation at Seaview Resort

Hello! I am here to review my stay at seaview resort last month!

i was not feeling well since last week, in fact on the day of check in to the seaview resort, i could feel that i was having a sore throat when initially it started with my throat feeling dry while i was driving up to Changi where the resort is located at.

I was very happy to book the seaview resort because its not easy to book this compared to treehouse villa which i guess it has got to do with the seaview that you will be able to see when you wake up every morning during your stay here. 

But, honestly, i prefer Treehouse villa over Seaview Resort. Both are equally nice and comfortable. fully air-conditioned with all the necessary item during your stay, but probably because Treehouse villa is generally bigger than Seaview. I remember the first unit that i stayed was Elok 12A which was a few years ago when they had just renovated the entire place, so their furniture, painting etc looks very new and in good condition.

For Seaview resort, the space was smaller compared to treehouse so i was glad i had my 21st party at Treehouse because it was very crowded at that time and it would have got worse if i held it at Seaview resort.

But, the seaview resort unit that we stayed had install 2 new aircon and a very big fridge that was adequate to place alot of our BBQ stuffs.

Besides fully air conditioned for the entire unit, they actually provide fans as well, so its impossible you will feel hot during your stay in the unit, unless you switch off everything.

We had to switch off most of the aircon because it was getting so cold at night.

We was allocated to D11 unit.

In case one might get confused when they check in, this is their front door in this photo shown below which actually look like their backyard. Most people tend to enter the unit in front, which is entering through the balcony sliding door.

All their unit comes with the same layout, so most of them will enter in front, when i first arrived at the unit after receiving our keycard etc. i was finding the correct door to enter, because when we first check in, the balcony door will be locked, so you have to enter by their main entrance door.

Our unit was the second last unit, so we really had to walk to the end before finding our door to enter.

This was the living room when we entered through the main entrance.

I know its quite blur, couldn't find a clear one when i was organising the photos

You might feel its quite humid when you first enter the unit as everything was not turned on, but it gets better after you turn on all the air-cons.
They don't have a door beside the balcony sliding door, so unless no one is in the unit, you will had to go by their front entrance door.

the kitchenette area

 they provide everything from the induction cooker, rice cooker, microwave oven, fridge,

all the utensils, hotpot kettle etc.

fitting the bill of any serviced apartments.

this is the view when you pull the curtain, most of my friends who came for my chill hangout party came by the balcony area, it might be abit difficult for anyone to find the unit because the unit does not label it as D11 but just 11. My personal view that they could consider to add a door alongside the balcony sliding door like tree house villa design layout because most of the people will enter by the front instead from the back.

They had the same spiral staircase that treehouse villa that lead you up to the second level, two bathroom, one at the second level and the other one at the living room. Basically they provide 6 bath towels, and other similar like hotel amenities.

this was the ground floor bathroom, they don't have any bathtub, just the normal standing shower for this unit.

This was the second level bathroom

The bedroom are located at the second level, and this was one of the rooms! they had two bedroom and three bedroom seaview unit, ours was the two bedroom unit.

It was quite clean and comfortable to stay in! This was my room that i had stayed for the remaining nights.
The second bedroom, it was a queen size bed and a single bed.

When the bf helped me to book this unit, it was a clash with his work schedule as he had to work for that weekend. So i went to check in with my mum and sister who applied leave and we carried all the stuffs for the party 

i kinda of chose the wrong date to stay as bf got to work for that weekend, so i was the one who went to check in with my mum and my sister who got the day off as we transport all the stuffs for the party  from our house to the unit.

As the party was held on saturday and we went to check in on friday, so friday was a peaceful night for us, just relaxing while in the unit.

This was actually a small gathering with my relatives and close friends.

I ordered buffet catering so that it would be hassle-free without the need to prepare alot of the BBQ stuff.

A photo taken with my mum!

when i asked her to open her eye bigger when we was taking photo but she told me she already open her eye super big already! hahaha.

photo taking with my sis  and mum

 Many of my friends, colleagues told me that my sister and i looked super alike whenever they saw me posting photos of us online. But both of us don't think so leh, maybe only some photos after we had taken, i could see the resemblance of my sister's expression, exactly how both of us smile the same way etc.

This was taken when i was already having a sore throat. I guess my body had been eating too much heaty foods after following a clean diet for so long. haha

Later on, limei went to pick up dad as we borrow his car in the morning but they didn't came back because dad had to work the next morning and he is not exactly a fan of staying out anywhere except home.

It was quite near for us to walk from Seaview to Changi Village to get our breakfast, its about 5 to 10 minutes walk.

Located beside the Changi village, there was a new civil service club @ changi.

It is a new place for civil servants to book chalets as well, they had some facilities like bar,bowling etc. If we produce our check in permit, we are able to gain access to their facilities as well!

I was just telling bf we should try and stay there as well since it look very nice on the external and i saw the website, it looks quite nice, the room etc.

The bf came over and stay with us on the first night as he had to wake up the next day to work.

FYI, each unit is allocated to 1 carpark lot and the guard can be very strict if they don't see the car displaying the carpark label that was assigned to each unit.

So the bf's car had to put the carpark label but i had to go out with him to the carpark to take the carpark label before he drive out so that when dad's car come, i can give him the label in order to gain him the entry at the gantry.

So for visitors who are coming by car, either they have to park at the Changi village carpark or near the deserted changi hospital which is known to be haunted. haha

he was being so cute/sweet when he left as it was still quite dark at 6am in the morning so he walked with me back to our unit and he make sure to see me enter the unit back before he left because he say later his wife get kidnapped because it was very quiet and dark! its just those totally random moment but very sweet la!

but when i went back, i couldn't get myself to sleep, so it was not long that i looked through the window and i saw this pretty seaview early in the morning. 

I had to rest most of the time because i took some medicines, it was just terrible that i had to fall sick at this point of time. The catering came in the evening the next day and i was glad that the food was enough for everyone!

Most of the times, i choose what i love to eat since i am the one paying for it! haha

but i got to admit that the choice of my drink was a bad one, lime squash taste like detergent liquid! :(

ordered from this select catering, not too bad the food!

for anyone who are looking to book catering, they offered lesser pax as most of the catering require a min of 30pax, if you are planning to host a small party, they will have some party buffet which you can refer at their website, but if you want to order, you may need to call them as i had tried to order online but there seem to be some technical problem which i am not sure if they had rectify by now.

They happen to be offering free delivery in the month of april so i don't have to pay extra for the delivery charges!

some of my friends arrived shortly, and so we set up the mahjong table only to play monopoly. 

i couldn't join them as i was busy hosting my other friends so they actually came the next day since it was a free and easy gathering.

a group photo with them!

Michelle & Me.

all these photos was taken using Yuna's phone as she change to a Oppo N3 and this phone has got very good filter!

Michelle came with her bf but they couldn't find the way and she told me how the guard was being so irritating when they tried to ask the way but he was chasing them out by telling them they can't park inside. For those who is coming to the chalet for the first time, it might be a bit hard for you to find the parking, the easiest one is to park at Changi Village/Changi old hospital area.

The one at changi old hospital area don't require a coupon if i am not wrong, but its just that they don't have a proper lot for u to know how to park it neatly.

and its time for photo-taking!

Jaja came over with her husband and i was trying not to make her feel left out because i know how bad it is if you attended a party and no one is talking or entertaining you etc.

Jieying and JJ came but they left too early to take a photo! I was kept quite busy and they left before i had time to entertain them!

the next day i was still not feeling well, and i couldn't be bothered to put on makeup, so i was basically looking like a disaster and there was no additional new photos etc

I am very thankful for all of my friends that make the effort to come down and attend my casual party. especially changi can be quite deserted for those who does not stay in the east and most of them don't!

Jieying and JJ was being so sweet to bring me macaroons! Yummy.

 michelle got me two xbox games as she was asking me what i would want for my graduation gift and i was just mentioning that i want to get some xbox games and i got it!!

elliott also give me another one xbox game! which i didn't take photo of it because he passed it to me just few days ago.

I also receive a swarovski pen from Jaja and Shila!

 it was a very nice bling pen that i love it very much!

my yoga ball when Jieying and Junjie insist to buy something to give it to me during the party.

And not forgetting the one bottle of moscato rosa from twenyo and his gf, as well as elliott's bringing me one lao ban beancurd! HAHAHA.

thanks to all my friends who make the time to drop by even though they might have other stuffs to do!

I enjoyed my stay at the seaview resort with my family and friends and i hope those who attended feel the same way!

till then.

Capri by Fraser Changi City Singapore, Staycation

Hey guys! i am here to blog about my recent stay in capri hotel at changi!

the first time i saw the hotel was during a cafe hop for table manners cafe at changi city point,

the other time bf and i was driving round and round trying to find the way to the table manners cafe, and i think it was kinda of interesting that the mall is situated just next to the hotel.

which makes it quite convenient for any hotel guests to be able to walk to the mall for their meals or their grocery shopping!

so in celebrating our 2 years anniversary which was yesterday,

bf secretly booked the capri hotel as i was just telling him before the anniversary it has been quite long since we had a staycation, a place where no one can disturb us and having some alone time for each other and not using phone 24/7 even when we are sitting next to each other, technology has caused many to actually find it okay to use phone for a long period of time in the presence of probably your friend's or ur loved ones without realising how it is ruining the communication essential for human to interact with each other.

at least i was not mad with bf because he did not use his phone too much during our stay this time round! haha.

but we sort of checked in one hr later because some idiots does not know he is on leave and he got to finish his work before we can leave the house. goddam idiot. yes.

but i was still keeping my cool because i know its not his fault. but procrastinators who only want to get work done at the last time. 

so while waiting for him to get his work done, i took several selfies!

pretty much not pissed as i managed to take satisfied selfies!

 HAHA, i was just lazy and decided to take selfies while lying down, but it give off another kind of selfies that i never be able to pull it off because i was too fat last time.

it was not the first staycation in Singapore that we had, readers can read my other posts regarding my other hotel stays in Singapore, that includes, Fairmont Hotel, Changi Village Hotel, Lloyd's Inn, Amara Sanctuary Resort and lastly Capri Hotel in the list!

as i used to worked in hospitality industry, in the housekeeping department, thus i do make particular observations in checking a room that i am going to stay in and i had to say, i was very satisfied with the hotel stay at capri!

so bf booked the studio premier, which was quite a big room for two. i really love the decor of the entire room, i would strongly recommend for those who are planning long stays in Singapore to stay in this hotel. 

 surprise gift from the boyfriend as he handed me the box when i was just getting in the car!

le handsome boy. haha

we only realised we got the corner room after walking in straight all the way, and i was really glad we got a good room! this was when we was just coming into the room

the coffee making machine, that comes with induction cooking as well as a sink, this is why i recommend for long staying guests because it is equiped with kitchenettes so if there are days you don't feel like eating out, just whip your own meal, and its quite convenient because they have utensils provided for you too! 

pots, plates, cups, wine glasses.. you want it, they have it!

but since we was only staying for one night, we don't have much uses for all these,

haha was too lazy to cook a meal anyway, but it gives off the feeling and imagination of having our own house! 

complimentary coffee available

 as you walk in further, its the so called living room, it was very comfortable! despite the view of the room was actually facing a construction site.

bf relaxing while i goes around the room going weet, wow. and taking all the photos. HAHA

this was the bedroom area, the parquet floor type is the type that i want for our future house! haha.

okay maybe i will change my mind again. fickle minded me!

they had a partion where u can pull it down to separate the bedroom and living room, thus for eg, if you have guests, but don't wish to let them see your bedroom section area, just pull the screen down and it will partition the bedroom and living room! 

 this is the walk in wardrobe! yes! if u turn left upon entering, its the walk in wardrobe, though they have wardrobes that had the safe, bathrobes, slippers, all the standard amenities

one thing i was amazed was the pail that they had in the wardrobe inside. i was just thinking if its for indian guests who does not know how to bath in the bathtub and prefer to use the pail. but so far all the hotels i went before does not have this pail before, so this was quite interesting, or for any guests who want to do their laundry by themselves?

even though they had this room located just outside the lift along the corridor where it was labelled, spin and play,

when you tapped ur room card into that room, it gives u access into the room, we was curious so we tapped and went it,it has washing machines, dryer machines, tv and xbox that probably allows u to watch tv or play xbox games while u are waiting for your laundry! and i think that room is available in each of their level.

 and here is the bathroom! yes bathtubs! i love bathtubs where i can soak myself in the tub for a super long time, its like a must for me to have bathtub if i had staycation in any hotel!
and these bathtubs is clean and looks new! and the heavenly shower. i love how they got that small chair i guess probably for guests to put the clothes so that its easier for them to take as they are coming out from the bathtub?

interesting amenities. their shampoo is peppermint flavoured, while body wash is rum. HAHA

oh before i forget, this hotel allow dvd loan at their concierge counter, as the room is equiped with a dvd player, actually the tv is a smart tv, where it can allow u to surf the net, but too bad we don't have keyboard, and the room is not equiped with one, otherwise i think it would be able to make up for the flaws of their channels that they have on the tv.

was quite disappointed they does not have chinese channels such as taiwan variety shows, or those comedy chinese movies channels, they had mostly news channels from different countries etc.

as there was not much shows nice to watch, we rent a dvd from the concierge, it was a first come first serve basis, and i watched the inception during the night until 2am! HAHA

this was taken after i wanted to soak myself before check out today! HAHA

we went for a swim at their swimming pool! YAY TO non crowded pools!

i hate public pools where there are alot of kids kicking and splashing water at your face cos they are kicking the water and you had to swim in the same pool as them, i mean, i don't kick the water and splash water at other face just because i am using my legs to swim! so i don't know why are kids swimming in such way! 

LEG GOT PROBLEM ISIT?!

 initially i thought this pool was quite small, but not really when you really get down and swim laps. HAHA, able to swim the pool as though we owned it! they had a threadmill in this pool, but we are not sure of how to get it started thus didn't try it.

yes i know, some people say they couldn't stand girls having to swim and put on makeup. 

i had my makeup on. SO, WHAT?

usually i don't put on makeup when i exercise, but i was lazy to remove it as i thought i could make use of this chance to take photo with bf! i keep laughing whenever i see bf face looking like the SGAG meme that face shape! HAHA 

after the swim, we returned to our hotel room, btw i didn't take photo of the swimming pool changing room, but i think that was one of the nicest changing room that i had ever seen so far, i mean, usually we all know hotel pools do provide towels at the side for usage, but they even provide towels in the changing room too as well as shampoo and shower foam etc and even lockers!

so if you are worried your belongings is not safe to put somewhere around the pool especially if the pool get crowded, the lockers will be useful!

i didn't have to use because we went on a non peak day, so there wasn't anyone at the pool. haha

after the swim, bf was tired and dozed off on the sofa, and we only go out for our dinner ard 7pm! haha, we had a casual meal as i was famished!

 i don't usually eat this, but this restaurant chawanmushi is really nice!

 we was looking at the menu, and ordered this looking like bento set, and it taste super good though sinful! mine was charcoal grilled chicken, while bf ordered the pork set, finished everything as it was really nice!

after our dinner, as the changi city mall had mainly only restaurants etc, random enough, bf drive us to serangoon gardens for the famous dessert shop! 一碗甜品！it is a must try for their durian mousse! most popular selling dessert!

i love these moments when we does not need to head home, and it feel like us spending our time, just both of us overseas during the taiwan trip even though we are in sg, we dine, had fun and having funny moments between us!

time flies and its already 2 year for us!

Happy 2 year anniversary baby!

frankly, we have never emphasize on the months that we have got together, 

or even count oh, today is the 3rd month, oh its half a year for now and so on. 

so funny that when we first got together, jeremy ask if he got posted overseas, whether i want to follow him and that means getting married to him. 

yes the first month, he already know i am the one for him. coughs* HAHA

when i was still the bui bui weighing at 81kg girl after being so blissfully in love.

to me, even a long term relationship could end anytime, and really, time is not the main factor to measure two person in a relationship.

yes, time might be one of the ingredient, but there are others factors such as love, understanding, patience and so on, i still remember the first time my friends was so shocked when i suddenly announce that i am in a relationship with jeremy, and barely within the first month that we are together, we had our first overseas trip together to taiwan! 

 everyone was worried for me initially because they didn't met or know him, but sometimes its the trust, the intuition and the security that i found in him that time is not in my consideration!

and i was glad i didn't met a jerk. HAHA, not everyone is as lucky as me!

despite being together for 2 years, he never stopped pampering me. 

not only with physical gifts, but small little gesture of picking me up from work everytime even when he was too tired or not disturbing me when i was still fast asleep and he had to get up for work,( sound already like a married couple with a lazy wife in bed while the hushband is going out for work) or coming near to me and telling me he is sorry for neglecting me at times. these are all sweet efforts in sustaining the relationship. 

of course sometimes when i asked myself, what have i done for him, it seems, i am constantly complaining about him, i get pissed off, irritated when he is always changing his words, and he never once complain about me, or probably because he is a guy and its very different how girls can vent their frustration out to anyone while guys keep it all to themselves.

and despite all these,he still want to take me as his wife ley. 

i guess i do have some good traits in me la. HAHA

he don't usually read my blog but its okay, just wanna say, i am thankful to met you, to love you for the past two years and i would continue to, thankful for showering me with your love, i use the word 'thankful' is because i does not take all these for granted. 

i cherish the times spent with you even though you are irritating at times, even though i had not give u the answer, but you know i do! i just need more time to hit my desired weight! HAHA

shall end for now!

till then!

next post coming up would be the staycation at seaview resort at changi!

stay tuned!

ps: we was checking out this morning and i saw this cute irobot vaccum loitering outside the hotel corridor, it was so cute as it was cleaning up the carpet! filmed it using meipai! too cute to resist!
