Anyways. I had to blog about the latest trip because it was way over my expectations, woohoo! We were told not to expect MUCH at all from Desaru and after doing some online research, there's like nothing AT ALL there besides some plantations and little known farms. But I was desperate for a break and seeing everywhere nearby has been fully booked (yes, last minute bookings get you nowhere), i thought - "Why not? Just give it a shot. At most, i will just go into mediation mode for 3 days if it really stinks and come back and blog about it. Haha. "
But whoa. I was suitably impressed when i first entered our apartment. It was a real cosy double storey little studio apartment with a little kitchen corner built with a sink and has a microwave. For the price that we had paid, it was really worth it.
They have sort of a Wild Wild Wet theme for the kids, where there is a huge water playground for the kids to splash about and a nice long water slide for them to go crazy at. I actually enjoyed the water park myself and looking like a doofees (as what my close friend calls a female doofus), John and i went for the rides repeatedly. And that is also where i had the epitome of Embarassment happened to me *Face turning beet root red*. Not gonna talk about it and those of you who knew what happened, i am glad to have enriched your life with so much laughter. *AHEM*
There is literally no shopping there WHICH i liked so much!! haha. Strange but really REALLY, i am not the "go crazy over the overseas shopping because it is so CHEAP!!" kinda girl. I prefer to buy something of value from the place i am visiting for remembrance and won't purposely find places to shop; sceneries and cultural places interest me more. :)
So since no shopping, we just get to laze at the beach and really do some space-out relaxation. Picked up shells with the little one and more water-slides craziness. This explains why i am a few shades darker now and i am unable to shake off the tan. Poots.
But overall, it was a good break which i needed, to recharge myself mentally, grow more brain juices (i find my braincells tend to grow and sprouts more this way) and re-align myself emotionally.
Here's where i stayed: http://www.lotusdesaru.com/cms/
We will definitely go back there again and not surprisingly, there are so many Singaporeans there since it's just a half hour ferry ride away from Singapore.
It is a pretty nice resort and unexpectedly good so if you are looking for a place to chill over the weekend, you can consider Lotus Desaru. *wink*
