Link Hotel, Singapore

Link Hotel at Tiong Bahru estate housed the Nuffnang delegates from Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines .








Although the hotel is not as grand as Pan Pacific Hotel where the awards night was held, it claims to be the biggest boutique hotel in Singapore. The location is strategic (for the shopping tourist, that is!), being just five minutes drive to Orchard Road and China Town. A MRT station is nearby and buses pass by at the relative road of the hotel.




The room, though tiny is sufficient enough for tourist like us, who only use the place to rest for less than 5 hours a day and for taking a bath. It's nice, clean and best of all smells white and fresh! I was happy!





There's t.v, a mini bar, a dresser and worth mentioning_ a spic and span bathroom with abundant supply of towels and hygiene stuff.





Our window view ( a second floor_hehe! ) is suggestive of placidity...






.. Especially when Mommy Cow (my awesome roommate) and I needed it the most.

Kudize To Nuffnang !!!

I went around Asia Pacific blogosphere and as expected_ found out that a huge percentage of postings were about each participant's share of experience of the recent Uniquely Singapore tour which commenced by the glitzy Nuffnang's Awards Night.

My brother, also a blogger, had also observed the overflowing analogous materials from the events and asked me if I were to post the same photos and texts, having been there myself.

The lazy me wanted to get smart-happy, appeased with the fact that everything was already written and presented anyway, and get on to the next extraneous topic.

But hey, the contributor in me appealed and is actually winning. At the most rate, the experience was actually personally endearing which left me no choice but to share them with you my blissful folks!

To begin with_ I'm so grateful to Nuffnang for including me to fly with the awesome Philippine delegates to Singapore ; kudize, applaud, clap-clap!!!


Coming up would be my own versions of the Nuffnang Singapore episodes last Oct.23-25, if only I could keep lid on from being a xerox copy to others. Well, let us see..on to the next post folks :))

ps: Ofcourse, Ascertain Bliss only houses destinations and accommodations, the rest of the experience would be available at my food and personal blogs as they pertain :)

Spooky Singapore Night Safari



Strolling along the Singapore Night Safari_ alone_is in itself a very thrilling experience, what more when the Safari's walking trails are added with spooky Halloween creatures... awwwwoooooohhhhh!!!!




I had never felt more thrilled, when I found out that Halloween kicks were totted up to the already exciting Night Safari.




My heart leaping marathon, begun with this giant spooky pumpkin tree at the lobby garden entrance of the Safari.
I was sitting infont of him while waiting for my friend Jay who was in the ticket booth then. All the while, I thought, he (Mr. Pumpkin Tree) was nothing but a blunt display.
..And then, I heard someone's growling sooo loud, I was so sure the scary sound was coming right behind my back!!
I stood up and checked my back..




True enough, it was him who was roaring so loud and not only that!!
Mr. Pumpkin T, was also moving..!!!
I moved away, afraid that the next hand activity of this giant would be grabbing me with his huge barky palms.




Unexpectedly, Mr. PT collapsed into half of his standing size as my heart got back to its normal beats...
He sat silent and we moved on into the heart of the Night Safari.




While I was unfolding the night thrills of walking in the middle of the forest with striped hyena, indian wolf, bat eared fox, malayan tiger, leopard_ to name a few of the animal creatures that were watching right beside the road I was walking on.. there were spooky signs that warned about not the dangerous creatures but the halloween creatures hanging or littering around..




I had to close my eyes and let the camera took this photo of arms, hands, limbs cooking deliciously. OMG!! They really looked so real!!! Bff who usually walked fast, was already on the next corner and found myself alone!! run..run..!!..run!!!!!




I saw a glimpse of  bff's garments and felt a little relief, knowing that I wasn't all alone now. I walked briskly to get to my friend but another sign was warning me.




Briefly, with only three steps after the sign..I looked up to the tree and saw some-one/thing hanging. o-m-g!!! I dared not to pay a second glance and again let my camera independently took a photo of the image..waaahhhhhh! Bff now was nowhere to find again so I ran until I found myself beside her..haaay..




For awhile, we enjoyed sightseeing the rest of the nocturnal animals..until we saw another pair of creatures hanging..eeeeyyyyhh!! We ran fast together and push clicked my cam blindly towards the images. see_ what do you think they were???
The spooky creatures built up, the more we ran the more they appeared. I had lost guts to stop and take pics of them.




Until we saw the final sign..wheeeey..now my heartbeat went back to normal phase again..but not for long. A crew approached us and asked if we were heading to the Creatures of the Night Show. It was 2 minutes to 10:30 (last full show). We said yeeesss!!! and ran our assess to the Amphitheatre of the Night Safari!!!!!!!!!



























































































































Welcome Back to My Bliss!!!

Hello blissful folks! I know, I'm guilty of "no show" for sometime. But hey, although I was nowhere to find over the net (i was asked the same question : am I terminating my blogosphere affairs?), I was actually just around the fence, for awhile_catching fishes to serve you my dear friends!
Am I forgiven then?




Welcome me back!
Welcome back to my bliss!!!

Don't get lost..you're in the right site. Never mind the new face of the place. It's actually undergoing a transition makeover. Soon, this will look better as I am about to move to my very own domain.

For now, let me fill in the gaps between the last time you see me here (my pre-dep posts) to now that I'm soo back blissing here again.

Just like tracking an archive, let me start to the latest. Hey, move up to the next post please ==>>:)))
