Buffet Dinner At Holiday Inn Hotel, Singapore

Soon we reached our destination for our buffet dinner...Holiday Inn Hotel in Orchard Road, Singapore...
Our buffet dinner was sponsored, thanks to Aaron for booking some tickets through Groupon....

It was quite early when we reached and soon when the dinner started, guests began to flow in...
 
My favourite section is none other than the Desserts!
 Well, this is a common dessert... I think I didn't try this at all.... 
Not because I don't like it.. 
It was because by the time I finished the main dishes, I was too full for anything else...
Normally I don't fancy rainbow cakes but that night was an exception... 
Took a lot of salad though... salmon sashimi... and little bit of this and that... 
In no time, I was totally FULLLLL...... 
Our guest of honour...
Appeared on our TV screen a number of times!  :)
We had a wonderful time on our last evening in Singapore....
Indeed this trip was a memorable one
Almost everything was posted in this blog.. LOL...
Well, when will we see Singapore again?
Soon... I guess.. Pretty Soon!

    But you have worked quite a distance from Ibis Hotel to Holiday Inn, how come you eat so little only. Indeed a nice dinner. I just want the desserts only. That aspiring actor???... looks not familiar to me.

    Ya...I checked and I am right - the old Holiday Inn, somewhere behind Centrepoint...not along Orchard Road proper. Used to stay at the very much cheaper Supreme - now also not cheap anymore. :(

    What a clever son you have to plan everything so well including getting the Groupon vouchers. I ate so much Groupon food until I had to rest a while. LOL

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
