Beautiful Facade of Marina Bay Sands Hotel
Walking out of The Shoppes at Marina Bay this is the spectacular sight that greets you. You’ll need shades when the sun is bright as all that reflectiveness can cause quite a glare. I just love how the beautiful clouds … Continue reading

Expressamente Illy Coffee at Studio M Hotel
I had a Cappuccino Viennese, which is my favourite drink, but it cost a whopping 7 Singapore dollars. This was after all a hotel cafe with obviously tourist prices. It was nice, quiet and empty though and that I liked. … Continue reading

I knew I was in India when I saw this cute sign of a lady in a sari, on the door of the Ladies’ powder room. It would have been even cuter with a bun atop her head. I spotted … Continue reading

One Night at Marina Bay Sands
I really like these comfy benches all over the lobby. There is just so much space. Something I am not used to in Singapore hotels. Usually everything is crammed together and lobbies are not this sprawling. And it looks like … Continue reading
The Loo is Lovely but…..
…why the gaps. I feel like there is no privacy. Also the doors are so thin they feel like smooth cardboard. I also wanted to add that it’s a nice touch that the loo is perfumed as well. The gaps … Continue reading
