Staycation @ Parc Sovereign Hotel Tyrwhitt

WOOHOO!!! 
I'm gonna post about the first staycation at a hotel with my food gurus! :) It happened last year, haha, so weird to call 2014 last year... Yup, we had staycation on 30 dec 2014! It was for us to countdown to the last day of 2014 together. Everytime people see "countdown to the last day" they thought is countdown to 2015, aiyoyoy!! Read properly haha! Yup, we are special right? And smart too, cause 31 dec is surely spent with family for the countdown so spending time on 30 dec is the best choice :)

 I sourced for a cheap and nice hotel for our staycation and the Parc Sovereign Hotel came up, and woohoo it was cheap + 4 stars + has a nice swimming pool!! :) It's like a mini mbs infinity pool concept where you can have a good view except that the view is not very nice, mostly like construction sites and old buildings? HAHA! But still nice okay, got the sky! This hotel is located at Lavender mrt station and it was my first time being there? And I quite like it, it's like there are many eateries everywhere and living in a hotel there is really convenient and so not ulu/scary at night! Also, you won't need to be afraid of being hungry any time, there are like so many coffee shops, fast food restaurants, ntuc, 7/11, finger food stalls, etc. WOW :) 

So first up, we met up for lunch at The Tiramisu Hero, a very cozy and cute cafe :) Would really love to go back there :)



Even the menu board is so cute!! :)



All the drawings were drawn by the owners themselves and one of them has the same name as me HAHA! The cafe has a cat theme haha and the idea is from their cafe cat which will roam outside the cafe (I think) but that day we didn't see it, mehhhh....


Even their menu is so super adorbs!!!!! Love all the pictures! If you love cute stuffs, you can check out this cafe lol. Why am I doing free advertising for them? Nvm, sharing is caring :P They have lots of promotions going on so after ordering our mains, we had a bowl of truffle mac & cheese + coffee + momma hero (their tiramisu) for free! :) 


Their wooden furniture make the cafe so much cozier and homely. 



And our mains :) 2 mega big breakfast, 2 lunch set meals, 1 creamy salmon. I had the mega breakfast and it's really mega haha was so full from it and my friend couldn't even finish it. Bad thing about it is that we don't like the 2 sausages, weird taste? Other than that, all our dishes were not bad :)




Posing with their iconic Sir Antonio Head! Haha can you guess which is me ? :P


Yes our Momma Hero, we chose the Lavender lemon one, if i didnt remember the name wrongly. And it's nice and refreshing :) Everything's so cute and we had a fun time! Haha oh yes, it was the xmas season so we got a free xmas gift for spending over $60? and we got shot glasses lol!



If you didn't already realise, our theme that day was RAINBOW!! :P Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. Purple(violet) and Orange weren't present at that time cause they joined us in the evening haha!! It is hard to find Indigo so my friend wore Navy Blue ^.


We looked super happy here hahahah!!


 Hehe so glad that we are always so steady in themes and surprisingly we are very organised in our plans and everything. When every single "member" in the clique participates in the discussion and planning of outings, things will definitely turn out awesome and happy!!! :D THANKFUL <3

Next, we checked in to our hotel which is like a stone's throw away from the cafe! Talk about convenience.


Using selfie stick like tourists!! HAHA. Customer service was good and we got a complimentary room upgrade to a deluxe one :)

Let me google some pictures of the room for ya, cause I didn't take pictures of it keke.
  
It's like this. Though room was kinda small but it's value for price. Bigger room = more expensive. Fair enough!


Taken at our balcony!! Yes there is balcony with this hanging swinging chair! :D

Living da life yoz!





& we spammed taking pictures and resting in the hotel for awhile before heading to the swimming pool cause the weather was perfect!!! :D


From google as well. This is a shot of a part of the pool! Nice right?? There are a lot of relaxing seats around and a few swinging chairs. Just very chill feeling :) But it was so cold at that time cause it was very breezy lol! I was shivering in the pool lol and it was kinda too shallow for me to swim properly cause my legs kept knocking onto the floor but my friends could still swim.....hmmm woe of having longer legs? HAHA :P

We took so many nice and crazy pictures and videos with R's waterproof phone but the phone is having some problems now so the pictures and videos cant be retrieved boohoo!!! :( Hope the phone will be ok soon!

After swimming for like 2 hours or so, we went up to bathe and went Bugis to meet the purple and orange girls for dinner. 


Had a simple dinner, bought some apple cider and then back to our hotel!!!!!!!!


Can you spot the purple and orange girls?? Also, sadly, the blue girl had to go home earlier so she couldn't join us for the hotel fun :(



PYRAMID!! Just nice 3,2,1 haha!!


Selfie stick is da way to go :D


Played Saboteur!! A new game to most of us and it's quite fun though it was quite HUH at first haha!!



Then we headed to Chomp Chomp for supper!! DELICIOUS :P Me and my 2 other friends shared the sambal stingray and sotong, shiokyyyy. The rest had popiah :) Uber is the way to go haha free rides to and fro :P IF YOU HAVENT TAKE YOUR FIRST RIDE, PLEASE USE MY CODE "peggyt48"!!! You will get $10 free to use and then I will get $10 free later. Win-win :P

Back to our hotel to drink apple cider! We bought 4 to share among 6 and I had like 1 to myself aiyo, and in the end didn't finish the 4 LOL. Left half of one bottle untouched.



All wearing spects and yes rainbow "pajamas" also! :P NICE RIGHT!!!!!! :)


Them playing Space Team, 2 and above players are recommended. Haha it's a crazy shouting game!!



Traffic light! :D So apparently, we stayed up and played monopoly deal till like 3am+ and went to sleep afterwards! 6 of us managed to squeeze on 1 big bed haha! 

Next day we checked out at 11+ and headed to have our brunch at Paddington House of pancakes :)




YUMYUM!!! 

Had a really fun time with the girls and am excited for more upcoming ones in 2015 teehee!!! Love them so much and I'm always thankful to have met them in JC!
