My Ubin Trip (not literally, har har)
Almost forgot to blog about my outing to Ubin! The boyfriend brought me there for my birthday, hee. 
At Punggol MRT. Found out that the shuttle bus that was supposed to come at 12:15 pm is actually non-existent, so we whisked off on a random bike.
Reached the pier 1 minute late. We were the last ones to board. Photo below depicts the boyfriend walking with long strides (and conveniently leaving behind the girlfriend 
).
Woot! Ubin!
We reached Marina Country Club soon, and fwah, look at the swimming pool! Tropical paradise eh? Glistening blue waters that seem to extend just beyond infinity! *is suddenly reminded of Buzz from Toy Story*
Right. It was more like erm, this.
Who says a pool needs water!? The folks at Ubin obviously know better. This brings dry swimming (a.k.a. mahjong) to a whole new level.
The boyfriend opening the door to our room!
Our room.
It was clean and good, but there was a very distinct sour smell with a hint of tang; we had to air it for 40 minutes before it was fit for human inhabitation.
We cycled to the main town area at Ubin for some tummy satisfying.
$5 only! Very nice soup!
Too bad we only ate one meal there… we wanted to have breakfast there the next morning but the shops weren’t open.
Oh yah! It’s time for some good ol’ fashioned complaining, Singaporean-style. The restaurant at Marina Country Club is really incorrigible.
We waited for an hour before we were served our complimentary “set dinner”, which consisted of rice, kang kong and fried fish. Seriously, were those dishes that hard to cook? The tables that arrived after us were served first too, with claims that “oh they ordered earlier already”.
Of course, they were also conveniently, paying customers. No duh.
And then, just when you thought they couldn’t get worse…
Notice the plate circled below?
It’s a plate of hash browns that some customers didn’t finish eating. The owner of the restaurant took this plate to another table to serve them when they ordered hash browns wtf!? Can like that one meh?
The unsuspecting fellas.
And because I haven’t had an abrupt ending for so long (I bet like, everyone, like, totally misses them)…
The end.

Hey, interesting blog about the resort.
Just wanna know about your experience at the resort; the condition of the resort looks pretty bad, as well as the food “serving”.
Basically i work with tourist, and they are interested to stay on the island. Having the information will let me enhance their experience.

Okay, here’s what I think.
The resort itself, as in the rooms, is good enough for its price. It’s clean and functional, albeit a little old (and funny smelling).
I can’t say the same for the facilities in the resort. During my stay, I did not see anyone use the pool or jacuzzi, presumably because it looked dubious (water not clean, leaves in pool, etc).
The restaurant’s food is only so-so. They also appear to be very bias toward paying customers, so guests with the “free set breakfasts/dinners” (which was included in our package) are basically shoved to a corner and ignored. At least that was how I felt.
The KTV was enjoyable though.
Hope I helped.

The story was about you and I think you were right to bitch about it ‘coz it’s definitely not up to standard.
However, what I failed to comprehend is :-
1) why you have to take a photo of the unsuspecting victims of the hashbrowns and put it up for everyone to see.
2) do you have any moral values that says that some things are wrong and you should stand up and speak up instead of allowing it to happen? Why did you not tell the victims about the hash browns?
From this incident, I can only conclude that you are a self-serving woman and to be treated like dirt is what you exactly deserved.
