Dear's Birthday ~ Ritz Carlton Millenia (23-24 May)

It was Dear's 30th birthday....i wanted to give him a surprise and also let him experience The Ritz Carlton. So i booked a room there and only told him about it 2 days before. Haha.....wanted to pack for him and just drive him there that day.....but it was so difficult to keep a secret from the husband!

On arrival, we upgraded to the Premier Suite :)

Us appreciating the room with the awesome views :)

The living room had a view of Esplanade, the Singapore skyline which constitutes buildings at Raffles Place area....this view was really breathtaking by night...but it was tough capturing a nice picture so here's the day view...still couldn't do justice to the actual....

The bedroom had a view of the Integrated Resort - in making.....

The bathtub had an awesome view of the Singapore Flyer!


We bought lunch in after check in. Basically just resting and chatting in the room....amazing...we were sitting there and watching the awesome views and time just flies.....unfortunately i had a headache....i took panadol and rested for a while and it was evening time!

Dear wanted to go have a walk and get dinner but i had another surprise for him! So i had to keep him in the room until 7pm!

Surprise came! I got Dear's family to come! Got his mum to cook and bring some dishes.....i really cracked my head what food to get and decided that since Dear loved home cooked food, just got to get his mum to help.



Around 815pm.....the next surprise came! I got the hotel to bring in Dear's cake! There was complimentary cheesecake from the hotel and the Durian cake i bought for Dear :) It was birthday song time!

And cake cutting time!

The family had a nice time relaxing in the room, chatting, watching TV, and sipping wine admist the awesome view of the night scene of the city.


Time just flies and it was the next morning! The bed was so comfortable, we almost overslept and missed the breakfast at the Greenhouse. We rushed down and had 1 hr left to eat the buffet!


The only unpleasant part of the stay was when our allocated table for breakfast was accidentally given to another caucasian trio when we went to get our food....it was a nice cushion high back seat...and we had to give up the seat! I was a little upset that after splurging there, this was the kind of service we got. I wrote it in the comment card and almost within 15 mins, we got a huge surprise!

The staff there brought a birthday cake for dear and came to our table to sing a birthday song for him! Even the guy on the table beside us sang along. It was nice cos that was the actual day of Dear's birthday and he got another birthday cake! This time a chocolate one!


After the heavy brunch, we went to rest in the room, watch tv and then by afternoon, we went for a swim...the pool was simple and nice....the sun was also strong that day so we both had a good tan....also had a great time relaxing at the jacuzzi pool with warm water.


It was great that we got a late check out till 6pm so we could fully enjoy the Premier suite room. It felt like we were away for a short break for a whole 2 days. It was great to spend quality time together like that, forgetting all the stress and worries of life. Indeed The Ritz Carlton lived up to its name....we had an awesome time and an unforgettable stay. Dear said it was his best birthday ever! I'm glad the expenses paid was well worth it :)

Time to check out and we wanted to leave "footprints in our memories" of the Ritz....



Couldn't bear to check out and leave.....however all good things do unfortunately come to an end....at least we have the pictures which will remind us of the wonderful times and memories collected :)
