Celebrated Li Xiang’s birthday with a stay at [Marina Bay Sands](https://www.marinabaysands.com/) (MBS) on Friday. We book pretty early and chose the [Rise & Shine Package](https://www.marinabaysands.com/hotel/packages.html) which includes 1 night stay and breakfast at Rise Cafe for two. Paid S$389 (S$457.85 after tax).

It is pretty expensive but I say it is totally worth it! Considering we paid S$270 for our [6th anniversary stay at Scarlet Hotel](https://lesterchan.net/blog/2010/10/24/6th-anniversary/) which has nothing and the room is much smaller and lack any window view. I would say MBS is not too expensive.

We spend most of our time swimming and sunbathing at the Infinity Pool at the Sky Park. The Infinity Pool at night looks gorgeous as well but unfortunately we only went up to take pictures as we are heading to another location for dinner. I guess we will be back at MBS again for the night view at the Infinity Pool!

Dinner was at Nueva Cuba located at [Customs House](https://www.fullertonhotels.com/the-fullerton-heritage-singapore). I was at Nueva last week for a The Open Room: “Your Blog Here” session with Luca Penati organized by Ogilvy and was impressed with the quality of the food and drinks there. So I decided to recommend it to Li Xiang! While you are there, try the Grilled Sirloin Steak!
