Our Honeymoon, Day 2, The Raffles Hotel, Singapore

Our second day as husband and wife gave us an opportunity to work as a team as we took The Raffles Hotel to task with the list of issues that had occurred during the dinner. (More on that in other subsequent blog entries. This is the honeymoon blog.)

We had the buffet breakfast at the Tiffin Room, our first buffet in as many months as we could remember.



After the sumptuous breakfast buffet spread, we headed to our room and prepare for our meeting with the Raffles staff before we finally checked-out from the hotel at 3pm.

First stop was my "ex-home" where I packed more clothes for the flight that night. Bidding goodbyes, we made our way to our new home where we unpack more stuffs and packed new stuffs and bid goodbye to our matrimonial home. Last stop was at Boo's "ex-home" where we had a very good home-cooked meal cooked by my mum-in-law. She even made us bird's nest soup for dessert!

Finally, we drove our Mazda with my parent-in-laws to Changi Airport where we bid goodbyes first to the Mazda and then to our parents and board the flight to Melbourne.

Our Honeymoon, Day 1, The Raffles Hotel, Singapore

After our wedding dinner, we spent our first 2 nights at the Raffles Hotel and flew to Melbourne where we spent another 2 nights before flying off to Tahiti.

This was our honeymoon story.

Day 1, The Raffles Hotel, Singapore:

The morning after the wedding, we were too tired to enjoy a buffet breakfast so we ordered in. Boo had a Spa Breakfast while I had a Japanese Breakfast in the dining area of our room.

We went for our spa appointment after our breakfast. Boo wore her own clothes while I wore the hotel bath robe and just my boxers as I had forgotten to pack my clothes for the hotel stay. It was a good thing that Raffles Amarita Spa was able to provide me with a pair of black shorts.

After the spa session, we stopped by the Raffles shop and bought ourselves each a t-shirt with the Raffles logo that commemorated their 120 years in existence. I never changed back to the bath robe. Instead opting to sign for the polo tee and walked out of the shop wearing it.

Lunch had to be something we may not be able to find as we may be away from Singapore for a while. So we headed for Suntec City to deposit our Ang Pow money and change some of it to AUD and USD. We finally decided to have tonkatsu at Tonkichi as Japanese food tend not to taste very authentic in Melbourne.

The butler service provided by The Raffles Hotel was very good. I had an allergic reaction that evening and rashes were breaking out all over my body. I paged for the butler and told her that I need antihistamines and she actually helped me to get it from me from the pharmacy.
