Thinking back, it has been a good 5 years + since we last stayed in Ritz Carlton. The reason why we stayed in Ritz Carlton 5 years ago is because we had our ROM ceremony there and they gave us a complimentary stay in their bridal suite. Wow, that was the time I fell deeply in love with their bathtub! You will know what I mean when you check out the pics later!
Anyway, going back to our stay. We were straight to Ritz after we had our breakfast at about 11am+. Only packed our stuff this very morning at about 9am+. Was too lazy to get it done last night. Think the usual check in time is about 3pm but luckily they have rooms for us and so, we managed to check in at about 12pm. We were given a room at the 24th floor. That sounds shiok as the highest floor is 31st. So ours is considered as high.
Little Arielle was more excited than anyone else! Was really affected by her excitement and felt very excited too! Once we were out of the lift, she saw the floating platform and was very happy. We directed her to the room and she was running around happily once she got in.
She went around checking out the bed, the sofa, the view from the window and of course the bathroom too. Took quite a number of pics and thereafter decided to take a nap before we wake up for our "late lunch". As we were given a king sized bed, it was so spacious for the 3 of us compared to our own queen bed where I was always kicked by Little Arielle! The feeling is just wonderful! But the unfortunate thing was that the bed was so high that Little Arielle fell as she was coming down from the bed. Luckily it was not a major one as she just lost her balance when coming down. In any case, this made us want to get a baby cot for her.
We woke up and were out of the room at about 3pm+. Went to the front desk first to get them to arrange for her baby cot while we were out. XP told the staff about her falling off the bed. The staff was nice to ask if we require any further assistance.
The first shopping mall that we went in was Marina Square. Din like the place eversince it changed image. Anyway, saw Kenny Rogers - one of the restaurant that I have not patronised for a long time. So XP decided to go there for our lunch. Wow, they have changed to table order instead of the previous self-serve arrangement. Their side dishes were served in separate bowls instead of having everything in 1 plate. But, what is bad is that they do not serve water. Well, it was still a satisfying lunch. After lunch, we walked around while waiting for XP's friend to arrive. He's supposed to check in to Ritz as well!
We went from Marina Square to Suntec and met up his friend at the Burger King in Suntec. That was about 7pm+. Forced ourselves to eat a bit cos we will not be coming out for dinner later. XP bought the kids meal so that Little Arielle will get to have a toy. She was happy playing with the King hat!
Decided to get some drinks from 7-11 before we head back to our hotel room. While I was busy choosing my items, I din notice what Little Arielle was doing. When I was looking around for her, I saw her taking sweets from one of the containers and she immediately popped it into her mouth when she saw me coming. Those sweets are the ones that you pay based on their weight. She was lucky that we were not asked to pay for it. Guessed what, moments later, she spat everything out! She stuffed a total of 4 pieces of sweets in her mouth. No wonder her mouth couldn't take it! Made me busy by having to clean up her mess!! Arrgghhhh!!!
Was back at the room at about 8pm+. Saw a table with 4 men sitting right outside our room. Din feel at ease with these men there and din know why they were there in the first place. Best of all, the room door wasn't soundproof and we can hear them talking and laughing away.
The baby cot was already prepared for Little Arielle when we came back. It was nice of them to include a pack of Pigeon's travel pack which consists of powder, shampoo, soap, bath lotion and baby lotion. This pack easily cost more than $15 cos we bought the same pack early in this year when we went for our Japan tour! Little Arielle was excited again cos she thought that there would be a baby sleeping in the cot and kept asking me baby where?? Haha, she is the baby lor! Placed her inside and she was having fun in it. Hopefully she would still like it cos I would fix up her baby cot in our new house! Was peeping over at the cot when something sharp caught my eyes! It's a staple bullet! Got the shock of my life as I was surprised to find that in the cot. Quickly removed it from her cot and went through a thorough check to ensure that there is only 1. Was lucky that Little Arielle wasn't pricked by it. Wanted to make a complain but XP said forget it.
Was lazing around but got annoyed by those guys outside our room. Seems like they would be there indefinitely! Got irritated and decided to call the front desk to ask them the reason for their existence! Was surprised that the staff said they din know why were there men outside my room and said that they would get someone to check it out. Moments later, our doorbell rang. XP opened the door and these 2 hotel staff requested to speak to him in private and wanted to come into the room. Wat seh, sounds serious leh!! Finally, gotta know that there is a foreign minister staying right opposite our room and these men outside were his bodyguards. No wonder, they have been there for the whole day. Okie lor, we got extra security!
Went for a good hot bath and was enjoying the beautiful night view from the bathroom window. So shiok until I forgot to take pic of the night scene. Hmm, does it mean it is reserved for my next stay here hahahaha!
Thought that Little Arielle would be sleeping after my bath but I was wrong. She stood up immediately when she saw me walking out of the bathroom. It was only when I was lying next to her that she would fall asleep. After a while, XP carried her to her cot. We watched the silly Amazing Race Asia and went to sleep after that cannot make it show! What a waste of my time!
