Just came back from a short staycation at the Bus Collective. It was short, but tiring. Interestingly, we didn’t pack much into the itinerary because of the rainy weather, so we kind of just took it one step at a time and decided on-the-go most of the time. Day one was a walk around after checking-in and dinner at the Canopy restaurant at the Changi Civil Service College (CSC). Day two included a cycling trip to Changi Bay Point in the morning and then bowling later that afternoon for two hours. We had a quick and simple lunch at the Changi Village market and then dinner was a very sumptious and fun BBQ at our hotel, followed by a nice session of soccer match cheering with a nice ending for the Singapore Lions. Day three was a late morning breakfast at the Indian prata shop followed by another hour of bowling and a session of tennis at the CSC. We ended the day early with a simple dinner tabao-ed from the market and a night of uncle-and-auntie driving adventure (to nowhere) and a Nintendo Switch delight for the boy. Day four had an early wake up call at 6am to go to the beach to watch the sunrise. We did manage to catch a good glimpse of it (fortunately), and got a good doze of morning sea breeze, wave-splashing and sandcastle building. The two boys ended their staycation with a swim at the CSC, before we headed back home for the day.

So very short but it was a sweet and memorable one. My favourite part of the trip? The BBQ and the nicely grilled sticks of pork satay and melted marshmallows.
