Woots! I can finally get my hands on my computer and actually start blogging about my hotel stay in Changi Village Hotel. I do not believe all those news reports about prostitutes hanging around at night because i did not see any of them. It was a one night stay, my father managed to get a good deal and brought the whole family there. Not that it is an expensive hotel or whatsoever, but due to the recession...well...cut cost cut cost. We went there on Sunday afternoon and after putting down our bags , we went for lunch at the nearby hawker centre. The carrot cake i ordered wasn't exactly the nicest thing to eat in the world so...enough about that. And on the way back, we saw this very big and colourful transparent beach ball that i ABSOLUTELY. HAD. TO. GET. It cost quite a lot but then wow, big and pretty is not enough to describe such beauty. Okay, maybe i am exaggerating. Hee hee so sleepy. Ok then after, we went to the rooftop swimming pool...had a nice view over the ocean with aeroplanes zooming past overhead because Changi Airport was so nearby. And believe it or not, i got to see the A380!!! Boy was i excited. We played with our brand new beach ball together with quite a few other toys me and my brother brought. He was so naughty and dumb, i hit his head with the beach ball 5 times in a row! Muahahahahaha...evil...But sad to say, the water was not appealing at all. The colour was not the crystal clear i expected, instead it was a scary murky colour...just plain cloudy. But that was enough to deter me from the deep pool. And my mother was so proud i could fit into her swimming costume...ya i'm about the same size as her now. According to her, with a much better figure. So then we went outside for dinner. The hotel buffet was expensive and limited, we thought we would have a better choice outside. Cheaper too. We decided on Subway. I lurved the sandwich with the beef and cheese and all that, yum. My parents got Gabriel a packet of duck rice, sandwich for me, and a sandwich and Phad Thai for the both of them to share. While we were eating, good news! My Uncle and my Aunty, who were actually supposed to stay the same time slot as us but because of some miscommunication, their deal was cancelled, said they were coming to the area for dinner! Man was i excited. I could finally see Pam again! We were like sisters. So we went to a food court and my Uncle started ordering some Chinese Food. Yum. When the food arrived, he asked my family to join, saying they could not finish all that on their own. Well, so i gave in and tried the salted fish rice that was scooped into my bowl by my very enthusiastic Aunt. Even though i was allergic to shellfish, it tasted heavenly. And so we joined them in their dinner, except eating a lot less. The program on the TV there was showing a very talented Taiwanese sand artist do his art. It changed from a swing under a tree to a lady's back and so on. The kids looked away when he made the woman's bust. Eww. Then because my Uncle and Aunt were very interested in exploring the area, my parents offered a tour and left me, my brother, and my cousins alone in the room. My eldest cousin played with his DS for the whole time. My youngest cousin played very roughly with my brother. Then my cousin Pam, the so-called princess of her family, wrote limericks with me. With her throwing the words. But each time i finished, she only wrote the first two lines. Sad. I tried teaching her and by the time the adults came back, she had done her very first limerick. With moi's help of course. Then we settled into a deep slumber. Four people on two beds. My parents on one bed and me and my brother on the other. Man was he fidgety! I hardly slept a wink. The in the morning my mother had to pull three lazy bums out of bed, or so she calls us. Then we went to eat the provided breakfast. Later proceeding back to the hotel room. I was so tired form lack of sleep teh previous night i simply collapsed on the bed when i got back, and slept. When i woke up, it was already 11am. I had been sleeping for like, 2 and a half hours?? My mother told me nothing much happened . She just took Gabriel to the pool again and back. So after packing, we checked out and made our way home in a taxi, taking many wonderful and happy memories home with me...
