time out

Work has been taking up a lot of my time these days. I say that as a fact, not a complaint.

I guess this is the story of our lives, especially right now when we're still considerably young and at our prime. I mean, we can't be grinding this hard at 50. Or can we?

Not wanting to feel left out, since everyone with a 9-5 had a long break last week with Federal Territory and Thaipusam, I decided to take a little time out myself. Radio does not give us the luxury of public holidays, and I hadn't had a weekend off since the New Year.

Singapore had to suffice for for my little break. It's only a 45 minute plane ride away, and the added bonus was I would be able to catch up with my merlion dwelling friends.

Checked in to the St Regis. The lifts were so slow, but I think that was by intent.

Like the ride itself was supposed to be an experience. The other lifts even had sofas in them, but I was too busy 'experiencing' sitting in the lift I forgot to take a selfie.

Caught up with my friends and carb loaded on truffle fries (we ordered 1.2kg worth of fries!!!) and date pudding

The following day I stayed in the hotel ALL day, and booked myself a spa session.

BEST MASSAGE EVER! Seriously, if you ever visit Singapore please, please stop by the Remede Spa at St Regis and request for a customised massage by Cat. Best decision of my life!

A slightly healthier option after that carb fest. But just couldn't say no to french brioche ;p

As if the spa session wasn't enough, I put on some jazz music and soaked in the tub until my fingers wrinkled

YUP, I was in the tub until 1.30am. Right up to the Chelsea vs City match

Oh what a weekend! Short and sweet with friends, spa and watching football in a tub.

Doesn't get any better than that!
