Whenever I do a staycation, it would be a bonus if it’s tucked away in a quieter part of Singapore where chances of running into friends are low. One such hotel is Crowne Plaza at Changi Airport Terminal 3. I know, why would you want to go to the airport if you are not travelling? But our airport of today is more than just the point where you leave the country – it holds tears of joy and sadness for people leaving and returning, but it is also a spanking awesome retail lifestyle hub now, with a range of shops that easily rival any shopping mall in town.

Crowne Plaza Changi Airport is located in a corner of T3 and you can enter it at either Level 1 (arrival) or 2 (departure). Unless you hang around the departure gates or the arrival belts, you probably wouldn’t run into anyone you know.

The rooms are amazing – I stayed in the King Club room, in one of the six that has direct pool access. It is not a private pool, but you can open the balcony doors from your room and jump right into the pool. The 36-square-metre King Club room is tropically designed with calming shades of brown and green that help to ease you into a relaxed mood. Floor-to-ceiling windows give the room a warm glow with the natural daylight pouring through the room.

I appreciate the little sofa in front of the bed, which is really useful for cuddling up in front of the TV, but what I really enjoyed was the huge, comfy bed. You can literally sink into the soft bedding and surround yourself with the many plump pillows, before snuggling into the duvet that will hug you. An aromatherapy kit is also provided so you can use it to unwind, or you can play your own soothing music on the iPod dock. Toilets are very important to me and here I had the luxury of space in the glass-panelled bathroom which has a bath tub and also a rainfall shower. Don’t worry, you can pull down the blinds if you need privacy in the bathroom.

To ensure you are not disturbed, the hotel has allocated Quiet Zones, where no room attendant, housekeeping or engineering activities will take place between 9pm to 10am from Sunday through to Thursday, unless specifically requested by a guest. This is very important, especially for a hotel in the airport, where guests want to catch as much rest as possible before they go on their flight.

I had access to their club lounge, where I enjoyed an almost private breakfast. A fuller buffet is available at Azur but the Club Lounge was good enough for me. In the evening, cocktails and canapes are served in case you get hungry. Walking around the hotel, I liked how quiet it was, with the occasional plane taking off. The guest rooms are soundproof by the way, so you don’t get annoyed by all the planes taking off. The hotel decor reminds me of a luxurious spa, with lots of greenery and a touch of Zen.

This goes on my list of top staycations in Singapore to have, because I truly appreciate how I’m away from city buzz and it almost seems like a vacation as I am at the airport! Conveniently, the T3 basement has a food court and a supermarket if you need to get snacks. Lots of eating and shopping options for you to explore between all three terminals as well.

If you are thinking of having a break over the festive period but am not keen on paying extra to travel during this season, then I would suggest going for a staycation. Crowne Plaza Changi Airport is now offering 15% off the total room rate* for stays between 22 December 2014 to 11 January 2015. Simply quote “CHERYL TAY 15 OFF” when you make your booking via email reservation to reservations.cpca@ihg.com (this is the only way you can get the discount).

*Terms and conditions apply: Full prepayment is required to enjoy this offer. Bookings are non-cancellable. Black-out dates DO NOT apply and the offer can be extended on Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Years Eve and New Year’s Day. Bookings can be made from 3 December 2014 till 10 January 2015. Discount is not applicable to services, minibar or F&B charges and is extended only on the total room rate.

    About last night - belated birthday dinner and dri About last night - belated birthday dinner and drinks for @angelrun.diary, followed by acai bowl for dessert, plus lots of girl talk heehee.

I first knew Wendy when she joined the SCSM Women Squad in 2017, organised by my @ROCKrunnersSG club. She eventually joined ROCKrunners and was a very active member, helping me out in the committee. With her help and the rest of the committee, RR was able to thrive for so many years.

Even though I've ceased RR, I'm really grateful that some friendships have continued, like this one with Wendy... who, with @dadtokeepfit, always generously open their home to us over festive occasions. Between the 2 of them, they have kickass homemade muah chee and fried bee hoon lol.

Here's to a lasting friendship!

    This is the EXACT uniform I wore for 4 years at TK This is the EXACT uniform I wore for 4 years at TKGS. Whipped it out of my cupboard today to film something with @jadeseah who is from the same school! 🤭🤭🤭 Who else still keeps their school uniform? 

Happy I could still fit into it!

And, does the TKGS pinafore still come with a zip by the side? I love it because it accentuates the curves haha. And the belt is sewn on but I ripped it out ssshhhh.

All the memories!

    Who doesn't love Super Ring! So bad yet so good 😅😅😅 I love food and I think I eat too much junk sometimes, but it's all about moderation. I try to clean up the diet where I can, I work out and I remember to take Pruvit pure therapeutic ketones every day too.

The ketones do help me a lot in terms of better energy levels, managing the body composition by reducing body fat and having more mental focus and clarity. So much that ketones can do for you - it's not a quick fix weight loss supplement or meal replacement.

It's a ketone supplement that helps to put your body into ketosis without having to be on a restrictive/strict keto diet so your body will burn fat for energy instead of carbs (glycogen).

Hence, you get the benefits of being in ketosis without having to suffer.

Feel free to DM me if you wanna find out more - I can prep an Experience Pack for you or share more about current promotions!

And if you wanna get Pruvit, do use my referrer link (via my link in bio).

When I arranged this, I knew it was gonna be a blast because these girls are so spontaneous, candid, unpretentious, adventurous and unabashed - as quoted by @rriley.

We kicked off with Mr Don Julio 1942 (whom @clairejedrek brought along and never left him) at 9am with a drinking game by @rriley that got @latimerbarbara buzzing first thing in the morning. Plus more gin that got @victoriacheng a little over. And then everything just went whooooosh from there. Ded from so much laughing, at stupid things like the maxi pad float, capsizing the kayak and being awed by the microwave oven.

Swipe for more nonsense pics LOL.

Give us our own reality show!

    "You have to stop expecting people who don't love "You have to stop expecting people who don't love themselves to love you the way you love them." It's true. I had found love within myself. I knew how to give my full self to someone when I made the commitment. But I have to accept that not everyone understands love as I do. A lot of these guys I thought I'd wanted hadn't found love for themselves yet. How could they possibly be ready for the love I was ready to give?

- This is an excerpt from the book The Modern Break Up and it hit home so hard.

Also wearing this pretty toga piece from @pinksaltswimco - comfy, flattering, great material!

    Valentine's Day dinner with my forever loves! One Valentine's Day dinner with my forever loves!

One of the reasons why I'm motivated to work hard in life is so that I can bring them out and buy them meals and gifts and take them on holiday (when we can). Of course it's not always about the money, it's also about spending quality time with them and I really enjoy their company, quirks and all.

I know they will always have my back no matter what, even when I make mistakes or do things to upset them. This is true love. ❤❤❤

Oh and I promise I have other skirts.

    "Excuse me, I think you're in the wrong outfit." 🤣🤣🤣

I couldn't find my leather skirt, pants or boots, so I just pulled together what I had. And while taking this photo, all I thought about was not getting my legs burnt by the bike hahaha.
