3D2N at Jen OrchardGateway

This was decided about only a few weeks ago. Usually hotels would have better deals for early bookings but glad that I found Jen’s special staycation offer. 3D2N stay with a late check-out at 3pm (instead of usual 12pm). We were torn between Jen and Hotel Michael, RWS as the price was almost the same. M could go to the Beach if we stayed at Hotel Michael but we could soak in the end year sale and decorations in town if we chose Jen. Plus we could go Don Don Donki at odd hours and there would be plenty of food choices available. And we have never ever stayed in town area before.

We checked in at 2pm on Monday. Went to visit the infinity pool (another strong reason to choose Jen) soon after, as the sun was up (wouldn’t want to miss the pool cos of bad weather). After the swim, we went to Puncak at Far East Plaza for dinner followed by snapping of photos at our favourite decorations at Ion. So thankful that the security officer helped to snap photos of us from different angles. Then we walked back to the hotel.

Did not swim on the 2nd day as parents and sis would be joining us for dinner. So we started the day by going to H&M and for sure we were one of the first few customers. Walked into VS but nothing caught my attention. However, we managed to buy shoes, pillow, Sephora and Body shop. Lunch was at So Pho, Paragon. Rested back at the hotel before meeting them at the lobby. Took mrt to Ion for Indobox dinner and walked back to the hotel. Dropped by Flash Bang but it was not that happening.

Our final day and I could not return to sleep so I went down to grab breakfast. Then we went for our final swim and headed to PS by mrt. Shopped quite a bit in Cotton On Kids as they had good deals such as $5 singlets and even $10 tent for M.

Okay, photos ahead!

Just look at their pool!

They have 3 different pools.

0.5m, 0.9m and 1.2m in depth.

They even have interesting facts pasted on the glass panels facing the pools.

Damages done!

We were surprised by this sweet unique gesture!

Normally hotels provide complimentary cakes for celebration but Jen threw in a balloon with greetings, tied to a packet of chocolates and in a cute floral pot. 💕
