Marina Bay Sands

Hey hey sorry that I haven't been posting lately.
I spent the last three days a Marina Bay Sands! AGAIN!
YAY~~~~

Haha for those who don't know, MBS is like THE hotel in Singapore.
The most expensive. XD
It's part of Sg's integrated resorts, which includes the casino.
The casino is right beside the hotel.

Every single store and every single thing they sell is BRANDED.
Every single one.
I didn't dare touch a single thing there. XD

The people that stay there are either there on business trips or are very super rich.
Me, I got to stay there AGAIN because my friend's parents accumulated a lot of points and could exchange the points for a two-night stay at the hotel.
The first time I went there was also because of that friend, only that time was because her parent's companies gave them commission. The integrated resorts were just built and they were trying to attract people there.

The hotel is, in my opinion, the best I have seen in Sg. Because frankly, Sg hotels SUCK.
The rooms are so expensive and the rooms so small. Poor service as well.
I know because sometimes my overseas relatives come for visits and sometimes my house ain't big enough to house them.

Anyway, summing up, it's the most luxurious hotel in Sg.

There we were, us 4 girls wearing casual clothes and 3 of us wearing flip-flops, walking past all the branded stores and diamond-selling stores, not to mention all the Ang Mo (Caucasians) in business suits.
Yes, awkward much.

We were walking past this store (branded, as usual) when I saw this woman (tourist, quite obviously) taking a photo of the store's front with her Ipad. HAHA! XD
Nice one.

Anyway, we didn't actually do much at the hotel.
We played card games (very loudly) and watched movies on my laptop and ate tidbits and repeated the cycle.
The neighbours so did not get any peace and quiet. XD
Surprisingly we heard no complaints though. Perhaps the walls are sound-proof?

The first night her parents treated us to the high-class buffet at the high-class restaurant downstairs.
I honestly didn't know until we sat down at the table.
I ate like a PIG. Haha. XD
They didn't really have a lot of choices, and the queue was so long.
Mostly business people wearing suits there... Again, awkward.
Their sushi bar is AWESOME~~
I took a sample of every single thing they had there. I have no idea how I managed to stuff everything down.
Overall, their food was good, though the European dishes they had was wayy better than the Indian food they offered.
They couldn't nail the Indian flavour. D:
I loved their dessert.
Especially their CHOCOLATE CAKES.
The cakes were like, 90% creamy chocolate and 10% cake. XD
They had cute little cups of... cream desserts as well.
They tasted ok, since I'm not a big fan of cream myself.
Their cupcakes were weird. I didn't finish the cupcakes. Waste food... T_T

Well that's about it for day 1 dinner.

Day 2:
Woke up at 11, ate maggie mee for lunch, watched movies (we had Shrek marathon), played card games, watched more movies, and ordered KFC delivery for dinner.
Nice huh.
The guy even had to call to confirm that we were indeed ordering delivery to MBS, because, let's face it, everyone at MBS must be RICH. So why would RICH people order fast food delivery?
Haha. XD
I think they suspected that we were a bunch of girls pulling pranks them.
That night we (3 of us) didn't sleep!
Well basically I was the one that kept them up.
One fell asleep before 12, one at 4+ and the other two of us at around 5.
Sighh these lousy people are so not energetic.

Day 3:
Woke up at 11 agn (me and the other girl that slept last), ate maggie mee for lunch, was forced to watch Paranormal Activity 3.
Scared witless. Not by the movie, but by the other's screaming. =_=
Yes the movie scared me because I'm a wimp who avoids scary movies but not to the point of frantic heart-pounding.
Seriously. My heart started pounding because of the sudden screams.
Don't watch that movie. It opens a lot of qns regarding the movie series.

*Spoiler Alert*
I mean, I get it, an evil spirit was haunting the family and all because their ancestors made a pact with it for money. The first born son was to be given to the evil spirit aka demon.
However, amazingly, the family had no sons all the way until the sisters (main characters of the first 2 movies).
In PA 3, it focused on the sisters when they were young.
I mean, there were no sons! So why did the demon appear anyway?
And why did it kill people and all? For fun?
Aarrghhh. Nvm moving on.

Well that's it. That's all that happened in those 3 days~
Or at least that's all that I'm willing to tell. ;)
