Birthday surprise for the hub

Having enjoyed ourselves at the Amara Sentosa a year ago, I decided to spring a staycation surprise for Dylan on his birthday at Rasa Sentosa. The idea was to stay over at a resort that was near the beach and to spend some family bonding time getting toasted under the scorching sun.

For obvious reasons, chalets at the beach doesn't sound like a pampered getaway for the old man. And to plan a surprise, pack the luggage, sneak the luggage to the car and to get the unknowing birthday man to the destination seemed almost mission impossible!

Still, Jayden and I managed to pull the stunt. I have been telling Jayden we will be going to Sentosa over the past week until the boy thinks it was his birthday rather than his dad!

The happy man, at least in my opinion, got himself aD24 durian mousse cake (although he would have just preferred a 猫山王 topped with a candle), a Burberry Black Label messanger bag that I have pre-ordered from Japan eons ago and of course the best company of us! :p Excuse the mushy words.

On to photos...

And so we did some touristy thing around Sentosa as well - sitting the monorail, patronizing the Resort World and hovering around the entrance of the casino watching hordes of people rushing to have a hand at the table. Dinner was at the self-acclaimed Silver Shell Cafe which turned out tad disappointing with the array of food spread.

Overall, the husband and son enjoyed themselves. So that's MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
