Weekend at the Beach

This year, my company's Family Day was a one-night stay in Amara Sanctuary in Sentosa. This resort is a relatively new place in the tiny island, so who cares that I've been to Sentosa countless times. I heard that the place goes for >$500 a night ( plus it was Zoukout weekend) , so i think the pricing is a little like daylight robbery, but i'm not paying so, who's complaining here? Haha...... truthfully though, i still prefer our chalet stay last year, which was for 2 nights and did help foster relationships between colleagues.

I did a spot of cycling along Siloso, Pahlawan and Tanjong beach...and stopped to snap some photographs and people-watch as well. It drizzled a little while i was cycling so it dampened the fun slightly.

The Merlion is just within walking distance from the resort, so i figured i might as well have a few pictures taken with the big cat. There were many Chinese and Indian tourists around so i had to jostle for space with them.

Our timing wasn't very good, it was the same weekend as Zoukout, the biggest beach party in South East Asia....so there were throngs and throngs of party people cramming into Sentosa 5 pm onwards. My friends and I were going the other way, we took the hotel shuttle bus to Vivocity instead.

The huge, brightly-litted Christmas tree was placed on top of Vivocity...we walked around Vivocity a little, just window shopping and enjoying each other's company.

It was Han's birthday that day. He had just suffered from a break-up so he had to contend with a celebration with another 3 pairs.... poor thing!
