I remembered Jingyi once told me that she wants to try out all the hotels in the Marina Bay area. So I’ve decided that we shall stay at one of the bay hotels on her birthday every year. I started this “tradition” 3 years ago at Marina Mandarin, last year we went Ritz Carlton and this year, its Fullerton Hotel.
We check in at about 2 plus with Ethan and based on my earlier request, the room was facing Marina Reservoir and the birthday cake was promptly delivered after we’ve reached our room. Ethan was so happy when he saw the cake and he started singing Happy Birthday. But the most touching moment I guess was when Ethan sang the part, “Happy Birthday to Mummy”.
After the cake cutting, eating the cake and some photo taking, we send Ethan back home as we’ve got to rush for our facial appointment in Orchard. After the facial appointment, we went back to the hotel to enjoy the 4 course dinner which we had in our room. I had western and Jingyi got local but guess what she ate, BAK KU TEH! OMG! I know that the options were limited, but why bak ku teh?? Well, according to her, it tasted really good (of course, its bak ku teh served by a 5 star hotel!) and she really love it.
After dinner, both of us stroll along Esplanade Bridge, Raffles Ave to Marina Sq to catch a movie. It has been more than a year since I last step into a cinema and ages since I last caught a show at night. The feeling was refreshing.
It was an enjoyable night for both of us as it has been about a year since we last spend time together, just the 2 of us. I hope we will still continue this “tradition” next year and the many years to come.
