Mandarin, not the orange ..

Okay ... will still be blogging for the time being. Yes, Fad is right, blogging is a way to let go our negativity (haha is there such word?) I guess I still want to let it out, even though it has to be by blogging about it. But I know this will only make me still feel depressed whenever I see others having someone to turn to when they want somebody to confide. I couldn't help feeling envy or jealous when I see a group of friends hanging out. I just have to take a deep breath, and pretend I too have somebody, but they couldn't make it.

Last night, the four of us checked-in at Meritus Mandarin. For a one night stay. I wanted to get another night but they don't have the deluxe and I don't want to pay for the more expensive premier room.

This hotel is nostalgic for me. I used to perform here at the poolside, and even worked for a short, a very short time here. I showed my dear around, telling her about where I danced, and where I worked. At that time, I was so envious of the buffet they had here. We didn't eat any buffet here. Instead had our dinner at Top Of The M, a super expensive restaurant. I am not rich, and this meal costed me a bomb (after the discount it came to $213.75). Never has paid so much for a meal for us haha. But it makes me feel rich haha though I know I am not. The view from there wasn't much as it wasn't high, but it was an experience for them. I had been there before, long time ago, worked one night there (don't ask me why only one night as I can't remember as it was so long ago).
This is a view from inside the revolving restaurant.
inside my room.
this is a view of Ngee Ann City which not many will have seen hehe.
had wanted to have breakfast at killiney but my dear don't want to walk that far, so has to settle for this version of kaya toast and half-boiled eggs at this coffeeshop next to the youth park.
okay, if anyone is wondering what the hotel offers, here are the toiletries that you can find. haven't had so many for some times in the hotel I had stay the last couple of years

It was a memorable experience for us, and not only because of the amount of money we spend haha. To us, Meritus Mandarin is a luxury, I don't think I will able to afford it without the discount. Even them it still is alot of money to spend for one night. But the kids enjoyed it, and so did my dear. I didn't tell them how I feel about spending so much, but there was no need. I am only too happy that I can give them this experience. Making them happy also makes me happy.

All I can offer in life is to make others happy, whether the three of them or those in my heart I will always consider my friends. I care for them, all of them. Right now I have to learn to live with the inbalance in my life. I have no other choice ...
