The Answer And Ibis Hotel Bencoolen, Singapore

Alright... the answer to the previous post...  I found my handphone in my CAR!!  When I reached home, I was searching high and low for my hp... my girl even called my hp number but the ringing sound was not heard in the house.... and my last resort to search for my hp was my car.... and it was indeed there lying on the front seat... with 20 Missed Calls and few SMS-es...  What's next, Reanaclaire???   So ... the ones who guessed the correct answer are from GINNY AND BRENCIA!!  Congratulations!!  And the most popular place mentioned is the TOILET!  aikkksss.... LOL....

Alright... excitement over... back to my Singapore trip...
 From the airport, we took a cab to Ibis Hotel in Bencoolen Street...
I feel I am older now...
Cos my kids have taken over my duties... 
They can do all the registration from now on.... 
It's time for me to rest....and....
Relax.... like this... .
or this way....
or how about this position...

Whatever... it is great to be here....
.... in Ibis Hotel, Singapore.... the chain hotels are all over...
I forgot to take some pictures of the room...
Ours is twin size bed... 
Well, how did we manage to sleep??? 
Somehow ... we managed to squeeze in... our 4 pairs of feet!

    once my son left my phone in the car and I thought he took my phone. I called and my girl heard the ringing tone from the car but the phone was not easy to be found. It has dropped right under the sofa of the car..

    Wow, your many sitting poses are really "gaya". The IBIS hotel looks very nice. Their chain is all over the world, I stayed in the IBIS chain in Copenhagen and found it quite nice but yours look really nice.

    Good choice of hotel because it is near to the main shopping area ie. Bugis Junction and Bugis Plus.

    Hello Miss Colgate lady! You are smart to stay at Ibis which I discovered has the best value for money deals. The last time I stayed in a cheap hotel which was just slightly cheaper than IBIS but had no windows!!!! Hell me and I regretted so much as that nice looking hotel fooled me!! They never mentioned no windows whatsoever. They told me all the rooms were fully booked so I had to sleep in windowless rooms.

    Singapore hotel rooms quite expensive compared to Malaysia's. Ibis Bencoolen is a nice hotel situated in a convenient location. I stayed for a night. Room is too small for me. :)

    I saw Ibis hotel chains when I was trying to make booking for our visit to singapore in May this year..At the end we stayed at People's Park apartment with 3 rooms to accommodate 3 families..the apartment is a bit old but convenient. Base on you recommendation I will try Ibis hotel for our next trip to Singapore.

    Nice! I've stayed in Ibis before, but not the Singapore one coz I have my sister there. They're a huge chain right? I can't remember where I've stayed but it's at least two places and one of them is Bali!

    For a budget traveller like me, it's very hard for me to find a cheap hotel in Singapore that comes with good location and clean. My mom also like you. I do the registration thing while she relax at the sofa. Hahaha.

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....
