tl;dr Gambling and more infinity pool
Activity 1 – Casino:
So, this ended up not be as early of a night as I intended cause I stopped by the casino on my way back. It was in my hotel so I had to check out the casino. Also, I had more Singapore cash left than I would have preferred. I walked through the casino and definitely saw games I did not recognize, but found very few blackjack tables (especially when compared with the total number of tables). This led me to play some craps. I was up, I was down. Ended up being down, not much, but still down.
I did see pai gow though!
Activity 2 – Pool:
Back up to the pool after breakfast for some swimming, gazing, and reading (HP4!). It is so awesome up there. I also hung out in one of the hot tubs that overlooks the gardens.
Activity 3 – AirAsia flight to Kuala Lumpur:
Get this: with AirAsia, you can check in 14 days in advance (I didn’t even buy my ticket 14 days in advance). This unfortunately meant that not only did I have a middle seat, but I was also very far back in the plane. I had to check a bag (due to weight and number of bags restrictions), but the baggage drop at the Singapore AirAsia counter was awesome! Pretty much all automated.
I stopped by an awesome lounge for lunch. It is called Dnata Lounge in Terminal 1. Food was very good and there were many options, the bar was well stocked, and there were many places to sit.
The flight itself was extremely quick, by the time we could use our devices, we had to turn them off.
AirAsia learning points:
- Check-in as soon as the window opens
- Buy the checked bag option when you purchase the ticket (if you need it). Also, if you have to add on a checked bag, try and do it as far in advance as possible
- Have something non-electronic to read/do. As soon as the door closes, you are technically not allowed to use devices until you are up in the air (this may be a regional requirement, but I was not prepared and read the seat back magazine for about 30 minutes)
- They sell food on their flights (so bring with you if you want to eat), but be aware that many flights in this region are very short and you will not have time to eat
