Sentosa Retreat & Updates

I was back from my staff retreat at Sentosa! Guess which resort my company has arranged for us to stay? It's siloso beach resort! The one just opposite the siloso beach cum cafe delmar! Rem the black exterior building that we walked past during our 2/4 outing to sentosa last sat? thats the resort! Quite excited to get to stay in the new resort which was also featured in magazines and tv. hehez.

The characteristic of the resort is being close to nature...so close that you have tree trunks brunching out in ur hotel room! Yes Yes! In my four people bedroom, our beds were right staring at two tree trunks behind a glass showcase panel! In my colleagues' bedroom, they have a similar phenomenon but theirs have no glass panel at all! What they have is a plot of land with soil and two tree trunks growing right up through a hole towards the sky! U literally can trace the branch right up into the sky! Amazing rite? I really wonder what happened when it rains man!!! Cos there is no cover above the hole where the trunk shoots out. hahaha. I look at it in disbelief when i walked into their room man.

I am still waiting for my colleague to send me the photos to show to u guys! The swimming pool looks great too. Got mini waterfall and mini slides to play but I dint bring swim suit! Next time can slip into the hotel to see see the hotel and use use the pool as nobody cares one!

I like everything and anything nature but whats so irritating is the insects and mosquitoes. I have some mosquitoes bites on my legs out on the beach at nite during the retreat. Sianz. Now still very itchy! If only nature can eliminate all these pests and insects!

Btw, can the rest pls upload the sentosa pics somewhere before everyone forgets abt the outing totally? My cam not many pics as it was kept in the bag for most of the time. Still, i am uploading the link via email to u all. Pls check ur inbox. I am still waiting from the rest to get the pics ok! Dun act blur forget hor! And thanks to pei for the ever prompt and well written update on ur blog!

And yea, yokie, of cos i still rem our swimming date. Think have to wait for me to come back from shanghai le leh. Oh yes, for you guys information, I will be off with my mum and cousin to meet my sis over at Shanghai next weekend for a week! Any outings pls postpone till i back! ;p


I am back to my salsa lessons once again after a pause of like 5 mths or so. In the end we cant afford to wait for the nus salsa club to org for us anymore and decided to just go to the sch to sit in the intermediate classes which is open to anyone who can just pay on the spot and sit in the class on whichever Friday during that timeslot. Flexible system....I like.
Though sometimes I must lament that my salsa friend cannot lead me in the dance due to his 2 left feet, I must commend him on his very positive and never say die attitude. I think he feels more stressful than anyone in the class due to his very limited background in dancing and his far-from-streamlined and way-too-bulky body. Infact he is more eager than me to want to practise the steps during the past few mths. He is basically a very disciplined person who strives to achieve what he sets out to do, from what his academic results and sports achievements have shown. I believe he is holding this same mentality towards challenging his kinesthetic abilities. For me, I don't have flair in dance but have the interest but may lack of perseverance and tend to give up easily.

Okie thats all folks.
