On Saturday, we went to Marina Bay Sands for a mini-holiday of our own.
Two weeks ago, I booked the 1 night Riverdance Package which consisted of 2 A-reserve tickets to Riverdance and a night stay at the Atrium Premium room. The whole package cost about S$589. It was worth it because those tickets would have cost S$150 each.
We got lucky again. The original room that we booked was not available and we got upgraded to Sands Suite instead. We also received a S$50 voucher to spend in the hotel.
The whole hotel is so grand although there are simply too many types of people walking up and down. The towers look impressive from a height and of course, how can we forget the view that is waiting for us at level 57?
It is too bad our room is located on the 5th level. It was too low to see anything magnificent although the construction of Gardens by the Bay is right in front of us.
The room is obviously beautiful and spacious. There is only one king-size bed but we got 1 en-suite, 1 bathroom, and a sitting area. There are two large screen TVs and a beautiful white bath-tub.
We changed and went up to Sands SkyPark. The infinity pool looks really great and I can’t help but to feel proud that Singapore has such a wondrous building. Being a Singaporean, I am too thrilled given the opportunity to be up there. It is no wonder tourists will gaze in wonder at this cleverly structured swimming pool. I overheard some people saying they don’t dare to swim in to pool as they may fall over.
Indeed, the feeling of the infinity pool is that it gives swimmers a sense of being at the edge. The design is seemingly seamless and minimalistic.
After dinner at Rasapura, we went to SweetSpot, a cafe selling an array of beautifully made desserts with fine pricetags attached. Since we were given a $50 voucher, we used most of it on 3 pieces of desserts.
My mother and I walked over to the theatres where Riverdance is taking place. We have one of the best views in the theatre, I presume. We were in the stalls and somewhere in the middle. I am so happy to see that the whole theatre was nearly occupied and there were many foreigners. Of course, most of the audience were adults.
Riverdance is a combination of elegance and strength. The beauty of the female dancers who show their daintiness and lightness of feet. The powerful moves of the male dancers. The lightings are awesome and the choreography is perfect! The accompanying live music suits the different acts to the tee. The mood grew infectious towards the end and the dancers were greeted with a standing ovation in the final act.
The best part of the whole show? The Prime Minister and his family were there too!
After the satisfying show, we went back the hotel room and ate the desserts we bought.
I slept on the sofa while my brothers slept on the floor. It was too bad I couldn’t sleep properly because I was without blanket.
The next morning, I woke up quite early and the Standard Chartered Marathon was taking right in front of us. Before we checked out, we went up to the SkyPark again.
It was truly a gratifying mini holiday for me. We got the better end of the deal and enjoyed ourselves tremulously.
