Alhamdulillah.

September is my favourite month of  the year as it is my birthday. Turning 30 this month of the year made me realise that it is a start of something new for me in the future. I have to say that I have yet to accomplish some of my goals in life and hope to do so real soon. I am very grateful to live the life that I want to but I know at some point of time, there will be always obstacles that need to be conquer. Once again, thanks Allah for giving me an opportunities to live life to the fullest.

For my 30th, I have booked two staycation for myself to celebrate my 30th birthday by myself. I have put a day to celebrate with my family and friends. Booked Grand Hyatt Hotel, the hotel is situated beside Far East Plaza. Oh yes, there is an outgoing promotion for the hotel itself. So booked yours before the promotion end. With the Singapore Red Discovery voucher, I only paid less than $200. What a bargain to begin with. 

As it was my birthday, I was upgraded to the suite. Yes, it was big for me as I am alone but who cares, it is just me and my alone time. Checked in at 3pm, shopping around Orchard, bought some packed food for dinner while watching Netflix at night. Fell asleep around 12am but not to scare you at this point of time. 

Woke up at 2plus as I heard something jumping across my body thrice in a row and behind my back, I could feel that something touched me. My hair stand literally and of course I shouted so loud till my mobile phone dropped on the floor. I braved myself and see the surrounding but there is nothing. I know I am brave and strong enough to think otherwise so I can get my sleep. I guess the room is huge and I am alone at that point of time so my mind went berserk. Luckily, I am able to have my sweet beauty sleep till the next morning. 

As I am not the morning person, I woke up at 9am just to have my breakfast at MCD. Oh, I did not include the breakfast from the hotel because the breakfast served for two and it ain't worth it. So had my breakfast and sipping my coffee as usual while waiting to check out for the day. I would give 8/10 as the service was fast but just that, the hotel needs to upgrade as it is quite old. Have fun with my first staycation.

18 September: Went to Resort World Sentosa with my parents and sister to celebrate my birthday. It was super hot day and I cannot stand it literally. Reached at Sentosa around 10am before going to the Trick Eye Museum, not so happening as it is but manage to snap some pictures as a memory. Shockingly, not a lot of people in the morning but glad that we managed to finish by 11am before going for MCD breakfast. Yes, the only place that I will go that is cheap. 12pm, we went to Madame Tussauds and I found it interesting because it is more entertaining than the Trick Eye Museum. 

My parents were very happy and managed to have more fun than me. Took around 2 hours before going for lunch at Marrybrown. The food is mediocre and I won't go back again. It will be the last time I will eat there. Proceed to try on the Segway while my parents rent bicycle to cycle around Sentosa. We had a lot of fun and guess what, it is already 4pm and suddenly the crowd around the beaches is massive. So we decided to go back and have a rest. It was enjoyable for the day as the last time I went was 3 years back. Time sure flies.

19th September: Head to the gym to exercise and it was raining that day. Oh well, managed to do some exercise. Rushed back home as I need to meet Kai for my birthday lunch. Went to The Fabolous Baker Boy to eat steak and cake. The steak was huge and I shared with Kai, did not manage to finish it because we are both full. Something happened, while eating the cake, the cake dropped on the table, what a waste but who cares, we just ate it because the cake is expensive to begin with. 

Kai bought me a gift and appreciate it. I do not expect any gift because I value friendship with all my besties. I have known Kai since my army days and I am glad that we are still in contact. I hope our friendship will lasts forever. Went shopping at Orchard and drank coffee while gossiping about our life and what is life after 30. Oh well, a fun day before waiting for my second staycation on the next day.

20-21 September: Booked at Mandarin Orchard for my second staycation. Reached at 1.30pm but I have to queue. Unexpectedly, there is a lot of people booked the hotel on the freaking Monday. I am shocked to begin with but managed to check in at 2pm, thanks to the fast service from the receptionist. I was upgraded to Premier Room and glad the room was spacious, not that huge as compared to Grand Hyatt. As there is an ongoing construction, I  have to walk like in a maze to reach to my room. 

Oh well, feeling hungry, I went for my lunch at Paragon (Soup Spoon), feeling healthy while waiting to meet Kai in the evening to have fun and went shopping alone but I think I have enough of buying so I decided to do my manicure and pedicure. Loving my nail.. Went back to Netflix while waiting for Kai till I felt asleep for like an hour. Had dinner at So Pho and once again, gossip about anything under the star. Went back to hotel and play Just Dance till midnight. Kai went back home and time for me to sleep after a long day. I think staycation made me felt very tired as compared on normal days. Checked out the next day and went home. 

One week of my birthday was fun and I hope that I can enjoy it again but for now, time to go back to work. I hate to be back to work but what to do, no work no money.. So I have summed up my 30th birthday in Singapore; before the pandemic, I have planned to go Japan for my 30th but what to do, celebrating in Singapore. That is all for September post..
