Marina Bay Sands Hotel Review
Over Christmas I went to MBS for some R&R, the tree was really tall and beautifully decorated!
There's just something about a huge christmas tree at a hotel lobby that gets everyone excited and into the whole christmas mood :)
The lobby is magnificantly huge. On one end is the express lift to the rooftop, and the other, the check in counter! If you're wondering how to get here by public transport or how to navigate around, it's connected to Bayfront MRT station, which is on the circle line. Getting to orchard road for some shopping is about20 minutes from here!
The check-in counter staff were very polite :) Major plus!
The rooms feature an amazing view of Gardens by the Bay which I still think was inspired by Avatar.
Wouldn't you agree?? Even though it's technically man-made, it's still calming and is a great getaway location!
The pillows were plushy, the beds had great support for my back and this was soo comfortable to lie on!! Air-conditioning was perfect for a snuggled night's rest.
The toilet was very spacious with a lovely bathtub, marble decor, truly luxurious! Two sinks so no fighting in the morning hahah.

Toilet bowl's on the other side so someone can use the toilet while someone else is bathing. For efficiency purposes? Lol.
If you've got a stay at Marina Bay Sands, you have to check out their rooftop. It's truly an amazing view of the city! Access is free for up to 4 guests per room :) It's a bit chilly and windy there, so bring a scarf or a cardigan. Yes, Singapore can actually be pretty cold sometimes! On clear skies the air is really refreshing!
Singapore is such a great place to live in, it's so safe, clean, granted more could be done to improve the arts scene but we're wayy more open and exposed to international influences than 5 years ago. At least we're constantly trying. Certain economies have just stagnated while we are always looking for new opportunities.
Also, isn't meritocracy a good source of motivation? Albeit slightly unhealthy. Haha.
In the distance I could make out my office building and how far I've come since I've graduated from NTU. Being in the working world is no easy business! Though you don't have to study for exams, there's more pressure from expectations and enjoying your work environment.
Leading to the entrance of Ku de Ta. Here's a tip if you don't want to pay for entrance to the rooftop, say you're going to Ku de Ta for a drink :X
Looking forward to a great 2014, I'll make it superb :p
