Have a Break & Go On A Staycation !
Wednesday, May 11, 2011 | 6:07 AM | 0 comments

I love taking a break by going on a staycation! Sometimes when you're too bored of returning home every night , yet you don't have the budget to go on a oversea trip or you do not have time to spare to take leave from school/work to travel. A staycation at our local hotels is the best!

I have always wanted to have a staycation and 2011 had been pretty good to me ! (: This year so far I stayover at three of the hotels in singapore ! (:

View the post here : Marina Bay Sand , Hotel Michael , Hard Rock Hotel .


What I love about staycation is that I can let down the tasks on hand for a moment and had fun with family/friends! (Y) Off your handphones , stay away from the internet and let your hair down and have fun!
Dip into the pool and relax! So much quieter compared to public swimming pools !
Okay I simply can't gets my hand off the com heehee, thus will bring along the lappy if I can , however at a staycation you can also relax while doing work! See the chair you know what I mean ! (;
Awesome views you can get only at the skypark of Marina Bay Sand!
What's happier than enjoying a big feast with your friends?! Relaxing in the room , watch the tv and chit chat while enjoying the big feast. Everyone is busy with their stuff , it's seldom that we've the chance to get together and do some catching up.
... LISHAN loves to have a break and go on a staycation! My dream is to visit as many countries as possible before I leave mother earth and maybe I can do a book filled with pictures of the different hotels and tourist most visited place !! (: So far I only been to malaysia only though > :( I wish to go on a shop-till-you-drop shopping spree at BKK , I want to go Hong Kong disneyland , I want visit Taiwan and visit the night market and many more!! ((:

If I don't have a chance to go on a staycation.. I will do these stuffs which means take a break to me too!! ( these stuffs can be done anytime when I feel I need a break (; )
1) Go on a shopping spree with girlfriends! If you chanced upon a good flea , the better! I got this dress below at the above flea at only $10 ! Usual price $20+ ? (:
2) A short trip to JB . Check my post here. It's simply! Just take the train + bus and go to city square mall ! (: You can eat and shop there and pretend you're oversea , okay you're but so near :P
3) Or have a haircut!! Many people commented that cutting hair can de-stress? Maybe because you will feel *lighter* . If possible , go for a treatment too! More relaxing ! (:

4)Pamper myself : be it a waxing / facial / manicure session!! (:

save the best for the last ;


5) have a break and blog!!


this one is weird but because I love blogging so much !! sometimes I simply would put down those unfinished task on-hold and blog first whenever I have the urge heehee!(: I love blogging , and can think of hours to blog a entry on a advertorial / review / contest entry..


I blogged for many years and this entry is the one I feel very sad about it !! :( I think really hard and creative and spent many hours burning my sleep for the entry but because I was 1hour late for the deadline and thus I supposed my entry was being ignored. See the post here. So from then onward I say I will never submit late unless there's really some reason oops! :)
Wondering why the sudden of me writing this entry? :)

Because I want you all to take part in this contest !!
