JW Marriott is the most atas brand of the Marriott hotels.
i went to JW Marriott New York in 2014. i remembered that it looks very majestic. and the moment you step in, you know that this hotel is different. a class above the rest.
i had the fortune to stay in JW Marriott Hanoi in 2015. it also look very majestic, and its design is in the form of the head of a dragon. when i check in, the front staff was very nice to give me an upgrade. the room that i stayed at was really WOW. room was big, and toilet was also big. toilet was in fact as big as the room.
i also remembered that the breakfast at JW Marriott Hanoi was very good. i honestly dun mind going to vietnam again, just to stay at that hotel. hahahaha. next time when yuanze gets older can bring him and darling go there and stay, and also go to halong bay. i think both of them will like that. :)
ok so back to the main topic. last weekend we had a staycation at JW Marriott South Beach. it is a new hotel in singapore, and it is just opposite suntec city, beside shaw tower. the location is really excellent. it is accessible by the citylink underpass, and you can go to marina square, suntec city and raffles place very conveniently.

yuanze was really so happy rolling around on the bed.
but honestly... me and darling feel that the hotel room is a bit small. the room that we get at tangs marriott is much bigger. the only wow thing about the hotel room is the automated toilet bowl that you see at japan.
i do like the infinity pool. of course cannot compare with the infinity pool at MBS lahhhh but i think is good enough. can see the fullerton area very clearly. the only thing that i dun like is the water is TOOOO COLDDDD.
dun you find yuanze's pose very familiar? hahahahahaha.
the niece also had a really great time at the pool. seeing hers and yuanze's happy faces also make me very happy. :)
verdict: darling and i still prefer our staycation at intercontinental. sorry JW.
really loving the june hols, because it allows me to take a good break from work, do the things i like, catch up with ex students and spend time with my family.
on saturday my show choir students came to woodlands to visit me. prepared kimchi salmon and my own version of yakitori for them. they were my first students to taste the kimchi salmon and ever since then they kept raving about it. they also bought chaiterase cakes for dessert, as well as some groceries from ntuc for me, and thanks to them i can eat that bag of chips with the super addictive cheese sauce for a late night snack just now. yum yum! chaiterase cakes taste really good, and taste even better when everyone are sharing the cakes together. this sunday when i go back to tampines i will go and buy!
this morning we brought yuanze to the nearby park for a walk. and on our way back we bump into derek and his family. tell me, what are the odds?! so of course must take a photo together, and i had the chance to carry both his twins, and both of them cried in my arms. aiyohhhhhh...
in the afternoon we brought yuanze out to east coast park, with my in-laws. my FIL wanted to bring him to go ecp to play at this gigantic playground and also look at the sea. the weather was really very good today just that it was too........ HOT.
and i finally got the chance to see the new macdonald at ecp, after it has been relocated. and the concept is so cool. it has been many years since i went to ecp. the last time i went is for wushu trainings with derek to prepare for wushu competition. he has a wushu studio over there. i think that was back in 2013 or 2014? my god time flies. when i drove past that area just now it is all hoarded up by NParks. i wonder what big project is undergoing.
that's why i love the june holidays. 4 more days and bye bye protected june holidays. next week must go back to sch liao. :'(
june hols protected time have officially started this week. so this week while darling goes to work, i am with yuanze all by myself. it is challenging, as i have to change his diapers, bathe him, put him to sleep, feed him, play with him, entertain him, ALL BY MYSELF. but i am enjoying the whole process, and i know that if i face any difficulties, i can still msg darling for help, or worse come to worse i will bring him back to my MIL house.
and speaking about going to MIL house, the multi storey carpark had just set up the carpark gantry. last time i still can cheat by not putting any carpark coupons (and also taking the risk that the summon aunty do not pop by). but now with the carpark gantry, i see the cash from my cashcard depleting very very fast.
which brings me to my first ever GRAB experience. this week grab has this grab5 promo as it turned 5 years old. darling introduced me to grab, and i used it for the very first time on tuesday. darling referred grab to me, and she got 8 dollars credit. my first ride on grab i also got a 8 dollars credit. used the app key in my destination, chose grabfamily because darling said grabfamily got car seat for babies/children. if i choose justgrab, some grab drivers may refuse to fetch. cost me 7 dollars and with the 8 dollars credit, i dun need to pay anything. within 1 minute i have a driver who responded and is coming to fetch us. and within 3 min the driver reach my house. i am so impressed with how fuss free and how efficient GRAB is. i got encounter calling comfort taxi and the line just stay there for 5 min without any driver responding.
and so until today i have tried GRAB 3 times, and everytime is a good experience. dun need to spend money to reach my MIL house, dun need to spend money on carpark if i drive. GRAB liao for this whole week! thank you GRAB!
