Just finding or spending time with all 5 of us present is rare but always fun. & Now, in year 2015, we finally get to do our very own (first) staycation with just the 5 of us. I can truly say that I was excited beyond words as well as very enthusiastic and eager for the staycay to begin. As days passed, I kept counting down to the day of our staycay, & I know every one of them did the same as well, even when they didn't show it. & as the days got nearer and nearer, I started to get agitated and a little panicky. I wasn't ready; I have yet to pack and (I am the type of person who needs to know the itinerary for an event if not, my life is in ruins) we have yet to plan our time during the staycay. The stress was getting to me. But I didn't let that be the death of me & my fun during the long weekend a.k.a Good Friday. Oh & Of course, I would like to thank my bestfriend's mum for helping us find and book an affordable hotel/hotel room.
Day 1
So my bestfriend and I arrived at the hotel at around 2.30pm. We booked in and was told that the room could only accommodate for 2 people only. We were kind of pissed as we had sent an email saying that we would like to bring 3 more people in which the emailed complied. After a few calls and such, everything was fine. While waiting for the other 3 friends, we went in the room first and kind of explored the room. It was beautiful and I would say it's quite spacious. Personally I was satisfied with the room we got. & Since it's just the two of us in the room at that time, we switched on the television and ate some snacks cause we were bored. Heh.
Time check :5pm - 4 out of 5 of us arrived and decided to get some food for our hungry sad tummies. We all had dinner at SEGAR Restaurant and the food was delicious & AFFORDABLE! By the time we finish our dinner, it was around 7pm. We decided to head back to the hotel buttttttttt we had no idea where it was so we just kept walking & wandering. It was like an adventure, the good kind of experience. We took pictures, we sang songs loudly; as though we were not in Singapore. All of us literally didn't care that other people were staring, we had fun within that lost period. Just like a tourist.
8pm and all 5 of us were present and still energetic. So we got some ideas and decided to play some Truth Or Dare. It was intense, I must say... & juicy Mhmmmm. That aside, we also split up into 2 teams and played Heads Up. Of course me and Jules lost & had to do some forfeit. (Ummm Let's not get into that)
After which, we went out (again). Now, just taking a walk around Clarke Quay and enjoy the view; observing people drinking and just chilling. Suddenly, most of us were hungry (again). Yes, we are monsters when it comes to food. Ate at BK and went straight back to the hotel, with happy satisfied full stomachs. Once we reached the hotel, we quickly settled down and get our (beauty) mask on; which we bought before we had dinner earlier that day. Got our mask on ready for movie night with them babes.
Day 2
Awake the whole night from day 1 & knocked out at 8am till 12 noon. And just as I was having a nice dream, I was awoken by my bestfriend to get up so that we could go to the nearby hotel pool at Hotel Clover (not The Arts). It took us roughly 5-10 mins to reach the place. As soon as we reached the rooftop pool, no one was there. In a way, it was like our very own private rooftop pool. Time check - 12plusnoon; the sun is at it's highest point and I didn't feel like swimming, so I sort of became like the mom who takes care of her kids' belongings while they go swimming. & since it was scorching hot, I tried to cover myself up with towels, jackets just cause there was barely any shade on the rooftop pool area. I did it. I watch them swim and play and in the process got wet as well.
Time for lunch and we went to some Vietnamese restaurant called Orange Lantern at Somerset. The food was delicious and fulfilling. I felt full very fast and I didn't even eat any rice or noodles. I was very proud as it usually takes me a bowl of rice or noodles to make myself feel full. All of us felt bloated & so we decided to walk from Somerset to orchard road.
Not a bad distance I must say and we went up to the ION Sky to enjoy the view as well as to chill before going out (me)(later that night) and shisha-ing (the others). At ION Sky, we played Bean Boozled. It was funny as hell. All of us picked at least one bad jelly bean. We took videos and pictures of each other's reaction. It was hilarious.

6pm - met a friend to go shopping while the others head back to the hotel. Shopped and chilled. Yes.
It was nearly 10pm; I'm heading back to the hotel where my friend and I went our separate ways. Went to the hotel room & found out that they are all still laying down on the bed, some sleeping and others texting their partners. As I was getting ready to go out later in the night, they were also getting ready to go out for some shisha time. Of course I was kind of sad and disappointed at myself as I wasn't able to make it for the plans that they had. Honestly, I was sure I was missing out.
But it's okay, I was sure I'm going to be having fun and enjoying my night away.
Long story short; it was fun & I enjoyed myself with them peeps!
Day 3
Last one to be woken up (11am) with a hangover. Head was literally spinning and I felt super dizzy. Everyone was asking me to bathe and get ready as we had to book out at 12noon sharp. The room was a mess. Everything was everywhere. Our bags definitely felt lighter on the last day of our first staycation. But this definitely won't be the last one yet ;)
xoxo & enjoy the last bits of holiday left~
