Holidays in Singapore

I wasn't able to blog for a while because I was away. My family and I went to Singapore for a holiday getaway. We stayed at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel for 2 nights and then went to Sentosa and stayed in Hard Rock Hotel SG for our last night. We had a red eye flight which is very exhausting but we were able to enjoy Singapore for another day.

The Singapore Flyer and the MBS Hotel
This is what you'll see at night when you're in the area. Those are actually balls with wishes written on them. How cool. They have a light show at night - the balls turn blue, yellow, green and other colors at night.
I went to the Sky Park at MBS Hotel and the view is simply breathtaking. You can see the whole city just like in the Flyer, I suppose. Pretty view in the morning and more spectacular at night.

Here are some pictures of the MBS Hotel

Singapore won't be complete without the Chili Crab!
After staying in the MBS Hotel for 2 days, the next morning, we went to Sentosa. We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel SG which is fabulous. I love the ambiance though it's not yet 100% finished. They are still working on some parts in the lobby but I think all the rooms are done already.

We also went to Universal Studios Singapore. It was really packed with all the tourists and the kids. We got to ride about 2 rides only because the other rides were either for kids or were too crazy for our taste. We still enjoyed our Universal Studios visit but I'm not sure I'll be coming back.

I also met the panda from Kung Fu Panda

Vain Shot at the Hard Rock Hotel Elevator. The crystals are amazing.
There's also a Hershey's store which is so coool. So many chocolate, so little time!

Of course, it won't be complete without shopping! We went to Vivo City - a gigantic mall with all the brands I love. Plus, they were having their end of season sale so lucky me!
Just want to share with you all the trust bag I was carrying all day. This is from Forever21 - brought by my friend from the States. It was on sale that's why I asked her to buy it for me. I love it! It stores my shades, money, MRT cards, camera and some necessities. ILY.

How about you? How did you spend your holidays?

Something New: Online Coupon Mania

Who doesn't love online shopping? At a point, we all became addicted. Thanks to chuvaness.com and my boyfriend, I got acquainted to online coupon shopping. They call it Groupon, I call it Coupon Mania! It's probably the best deals you'll ever get.

HOW IT WORKS
First, go to their websites. Then, check out their Deal of the Day. Buy if you want, share if you want referral bonus! Purchase either through credit card, bank deposit or G-cash (for some), print coupon and enjoy!

I suggest you sign up for the daily updates. I got to join around 13 sites and I'm enjoying this everyday. I can't wait to open my computer everyday just to check out their deals. Believe me, these deals are not just 10% deals. These are 45-90% deals! How cool is that?

My first purchase was suggested by my boyfriend. He loves buffets and who could resist the Spiral Buffet? They are offering 45% off on their buffets. Take note, all deals are NET already unless stated otherwise. That is just amazing. It was offered by CashCashPinoy.com and I got to pay through G-cash. Other companies have the bank deposit option for those who don't have credit cards (like me!).

A few minutes ago, I saw Ensogo's deal and they are offering PHP99 massages! How amazing is that! I cannot contain myself! Haha! This is probably the best way to enjoy restaurants, spas and other shops without spending too much.

Here's the list of sites I joined and hopefully you will too! Leave a comment if you're going to REGISTER and buy so I could score some referral points! Hehe :)

CASHCASHPINOY







PRESYONG PATOK - This is not actually up yet but I think they'll be launching soon!
 DEAL GROCER - This has no deals yet.

GROUPIE - This one has no offers yet.

You might be skeptical about the payment options. This one looks legit to me and they do have support teams. I actually like the fact that they have bank deposit options and G-cash for some.

What do you think?
