Marina Bay Sands Hotel

Mama and Kongkong were one of the 200 selected VIPs to be given a free night's stay at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel (MBS) tonight in celebration of the World Cup Finals.  At the same time, they were both invited to watch the World Cup Finals (2D and 3D version) in the ballroom...  Amanda skipped enrichment class and Zhihong's birthday party.... and off we went to MBS!
kiddoes getting ready to check in....
kongkong suggested taking the buggy to tower 3 to let the kiddoes experience the ride....  look at them laughing so happily....

i took the front seat (the only seat left) as the rest of them rushed on the buggy....
walking towards our room...
outside our room...  mama's cute...  she was given to choose high floor or low floor... and she said as low as possible (below 10).... haha...  i tried for higher and better room upon checking in but the only available room they could give us was 19th floor...  what a disappointment (when mama could have gotten a much better room)....
the room...  i was a little disappointed to find the room so small....
kongkong signing his autograph?....
the bathroom....  fell below my expectation too....
the entrance of the room...
we love the large screen tv....  haha...
kids exploring all the channels....
view from our room....
the happy cousins...
look! the remote control comes with a pouch!....
look at the amount of tid-bits we brought...  lol!!!
kongkong enjoying his carls junior burger....
thickburger's yummy....
this is how it looks inside....  can you see ee ee's thumbs up?...
postcards in the room...  mbs by day and by night....
their room service is expensive...  S$25 for a plate of chicken rice or laksa?...  hmmm....
the skypark pool on the 57th floor....
awesome view from the 57th floor....

view was awesome to the max....
looks like a postcard, doesn't it?....
the kids' pool has better protection with higher glass walls....

amanda looking so happy....
another awesome postcard shot...
kongkong and mama relaxing while waiting....
our drinks...  lime, mango, cranberry and orange juice....

daddy came to join us after work....
the welcome message on the tv screen which flashes each time you enter the room....
sunset view....
a glimpse of sunset....
i love this shot!.... captures the happy faces of both daddy and amanda.... plus the lovely sunset behind amidst the tall skyscrapers....
looks scary, doesn't it?....
night view... can you imagine how long we stayed at the pool?....

   
mama combing amanda's hair...
kongkong, mama and amanda....
kongkong and mama on the way up to the ballroom to collect their vip pass for tonight's world cup finals, while daddy, amanda and i walked around the shops...
kongkong and mama chose 2d instead of 3d as mama was afraid she would be giddy wearing the 3d glasses...  but kongkong eventually watched in the 3d version in the ballroom as mama was tired and went up to the room to sleep....  by the way, we saw kongkong appearing on the news as they filmed him wearing his glasses and folding his arm watching the world cup...  haha!....
 
one last photo before we left kongkong and mama to enjoy the entertainment whilst 3 of us went up to the room to watch tv....  daddy stayed with us for a while and went home after past midnight as he has got an early lecture the next morning...
checking out of the hotel at 6.30 am in the morning... omg! can you see amanda's zombie look?!...  it's so early all of us could hardly wake up!... but we've got no choice...  amanda's got school and kongkong and i got to work....
my little darling checking out in the wee hours....
waiting sleepily for the valet to bring kongkong's car over....

The kids had so much fun playing together especially during swimming...  and Amanda fell flat the moment she reached home in the morning, and she slept through till almost 11am before her school bus came at 11.50am....  haha.... 

It would have been better if they had gotten the room on a Saturday instead of Sunday... but guess this time is an exception since they were given the room specially to watch the World Cup Finals which falls on early Monday morning (past Sunday).....  Nonetheless...  it was an enjoyable weekend....  plus, the room's COMPLIMENTARY....  absolutely F.O.C.!!!...  so what more can I complain?....  *smiles*.....
