Kantella's Staycation!
I had the most incredible weekend with the love of my life! My boyfriend and I decided we needed a little getaway from the complexities in life. We didn't have the time (or money) to travel out of the country, so we figured a weekend staycation was in order!
It was a tedious process though - trying to find the perfect location in Singapore for our getaway that was reasonable, and would not puncture a hole in our pockets. After much online searching, I found a hotel that was not only within our budget, but it also got an excellent rating. Without much hesitation, I booked the hotel - Park Avenue Rochester Hotels and Suites.
When we finally got there on Friday night, I was pleasantly surprised! I had no idea at all that our hotel was right smack in the middle of Rochester Park! We had all the swanky restaurants and eateries right downstairs, and we were a stone's throw away from Holland Village! Not only that, our hotel room was magnificent! It had a separate bedroom and living room, complete with a fully functioning kitchen (cooking equipments ALL provided) and even a washing machine!
We ate like kings and queens the entire 3 days and 2 nights we were there. We had our first dinner at Da Paolo's Bistro Bar, woke up early for brunch the next morning at Graze etc. All at Rochester Park! Also, we decided we wanted to have a romantic candlelight dinner on our second night. However, do you know how much fine dining costs?! So we did what we do best - innovate. We walked over to Holland Village, bought a bunch of Wendy's fastfood and a candle, laid them out on all the swanky plates provided in our hotel room, and we had our own DIY candlelight dinner!
We had a fantastic weekend, no doubt! We spent most of our time eating, and then just cuddling in front of the TV. On our second night, we watched 'When Harry Met Sally' while drinking some light booze.
The weekend cannot be more perfect! And nothing beats spending time with someone you love. I feel so blessed to have someone who likes the same things I do, and who never complains even when I suggest the weirdest things.
I
you!!
