Its been weeks since I last got in here. I know…I know…you have missed me babies, but then, I have been busy. Busy working, traveling; traveling and working more.
We just came back from our trip to Singapore/Malaysia. The free Mahindra trip I mentioned last time…remember? Well, it so happened that we took the trip and extended it to Singapore for another three days. We also made some friends join in with us. So it was a good fun time for all.
First the hotels: we stayed in four-five star luxuries everywhere. They aren’t so expensive there…so convincing everyone didnt take much time at all. I also think the hotels were the best part of the trip :)
Marriott in Kuala Lumpur – One of the finest I would say. Good rooms, nice view of the swimming pool from the room and excellent service. One call and they would be there in five minutes. The buffet spread was good and they would even pack the food, in case you were late for some place. The twin tower was a five minute walk and taxis were available at all times. So basically, we ate, shopped, swam, drank through KL.
Resort Hotel, Genting: Beautifulllll lobby. Decent rooms. No service. Genting was fun as in Ishaan freaked out with the games, and Sanjay freaked out at the casino. The rest of uis enjoyed the games too. Plus, we got enough rest as we stayed there for two days, so were well prepared for the next few days.
Grand Copthorne Waterfront, Singapore: This was right in front of the river and the view from my room overlooked the river. Nothing spectacular, but decent nonetheless. The service was decent so was the buffet. The walk alongside the river was also nice.
A few highlights of the trip:
- For Ishaan, Malaysia and Singapore meant the hotels. So each time he was tired of touring, he would insist that Malaysia chalo mummy. Meaning, he wants to go back to the hotel. He is mumma’s boy for sure. All I want out of vacations is living in luxurious hotels, sleeping, and waking up to lovely breakfast.
- Ishaan to the waiter - one coke fol me and one beel fol my papa. Stunned silence everywhere. And then everyone pouncing on him at the same time. Poor baby...not his fault. He saw papa and uncle doing that everywhere.
- We had the first day free in Singapore, and thanks to Ravi (Ravi is Sanjay’s best friend), we went to an expo and bought a really really nice DigiCam. Another buy (totally unnecessary) was the LCD TV.
- Jurong’s Bird park, Sentosa, the cable car rides, ride till the top of the Single tower were all definitely worth it.
Far East Trivia: Ishaan by the way is called the Far East Baby by my friends, because he was born after we traveled to Singapore and Malaysia last time. So my friends at Oracle insisted that we must be planning for a second one. Abhishek says that this was our 142nd honeymoon. 142nd? Just the thought of sooo many vacations makes me feel great. Abhi, if I reach anywhere remotely close to that….like the 42nd or something…I will treat you big time. And that’s a promise.
