Brunch @ Brunetti ~ 31 December 2011

Onboard Logos Hope

The first thing that I said to mamee after having been on a holiday cruise on Star Virgo during the September holidays was to sell our house so that we could always stay on a cruise. :p  When mamee read in the papers that Logos Hope is berthing at Vivocit'y and it's open to the public for visiting, I shouted "Yippee!" and told mamee I want to go onboard the ship.  We boarded the ship on the evening of  Christmas Eve. Do you know that "Logos" means "Message" in Greek? Logos Hope was originally used as a car ferry in the Northern Atlantic Ocean and it has been repurposed to serve port communities around the world. The ship’s purpose is to bring knowledge, help, and hope to each port she visits. What do I remember about my visit to Logos Hope?  What else but books since it's the world's largest floating book fair.  However, another special thing that I remember about Logos Hope is the waffle stick that looks like a long leaf (see picture above).  Yummie, it's very delicious!

八宝茶 @ Swissotel

This is 八宝茶, only served at 42nd floor of Swissotel.  Enjoy!! :D

Staycation @ Swissotel

Mamee said that we can stay at Swissotel for a free night!  Yuppiee! I was so delighted and excited that I asked the Jie Jie at the check-in counter whether she could give us the highest room.  She replied that the highest floor is the helicopter pad and asked whether I would like to sleep inside a helicopter.  I answered sheepishly, "No!" The Jie Jie smiled and told us that she upgraded our room to a deluxe room at 42nd level.  Hurray!  We enjoyed panoramic night views from the balcony. When we checked out, we got a shock that the stay was not free! The bill came up to S$1.20. O-Oh!  I was so excited and was playing with the hotel phone and made 3 calls.  I didn't know that the telephone calls were chargeable! ;p Thank you, Mamee for paying the bill and for the wonderful memories!

BFF's Party

I have been looking forward to my BFF's party ince the start of the school holidays.  Finally, the day has arrived!  Although parents are not encouraged to join the party, mamee has been asked to stay back instead of coming back to fetch me because Cheryl's place is so out of the way.  It's great fun as I get to see my friends after such a long holidays. Mamee is the best because she allowed me to stay until 11pm.  I was the last to leave the party. ;p
