Singapore to Maldives and on a budget? POSSIBLE! #projectMaldives (part 2)

Okayyy hiii I'm back again and I aim to round up on my Maldives trip! Aside from the fact that I was crazy annoyed with work, I thought why not take a break and to hell with whatever's happening? Hahaha just kidding. I've done all that I have to do and currently waiting for latest updates which btw will always come in at the very last minute. -_- Pfft. Nevermind that, moving on....

 The modern all white interior won us over and it was really our luck that we got upgraded to the biggest room in Crystal Sands. You had no idea how crazy the two of us went, or rather, perhaps just me la hahahaha. Pretty much screamed in delight and if you'd like a walk through of our room, feel free to watch it here and here! We highly highly recommend this place and if you're on your honeymoon, it will still be as perfect!!!

The lobby was all cleaned and cosy, wifi was great and that's me and Atiqah looking all burnt. HAHA.

 The highlight of the night!!! And nopeeeee I didn't just post for the photo with them two. I "caught" it for like around 10seconds? and passed on to the guys to help bring it up. It's either I get the fish up the boat or I will just jatuh masok air. For real guys, 12kg of idk what fish. PLUS a special shout out to my father and boyfriend who's sooooo into fishing!!! Not bad for a first timer right? And can you imagine, all you need is that string and no fancy fishing equipment was required?! I felt like a lady boss already. HAHAHA.

Anywayyyy it may have been the biggest fish caught for that night and I impressed the local boys there hehehe but damn the meat was tough as hell and super tak sedap. I barely even eat what the other hotel's chef cooked. Bottom line, bigger does not mean it'll be better and size definitely didn't matter. :P 

The following morning we head for the water activities such as snorkeling and lunch at the beautiful sand bank. Sadly, these are the only two photos I have as of now as I took a lot more videos and they are all still in my goprohero4. Been procrastinating to have it uploaded but I shall share all the videos taken in my next post (which I don't know whennn I'll do so hahaha).

WE SAW MANYMANYMANY DOLPHINS IN THE WILD AKA DEEP BLUE OCEAN AND IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT I WILL NEVER EVER FORGET. 

Early in the morning I called to check and request if Crystal Sands staff could serve us breakfast in our room and if they could do something with the chilli sauce to mark "Happy Birthday" on one of the plates. They could do both, so one down! 20 mins later and they were still not up yet and I got a little anxious as I wanted to have everything prepared in the room before Atiqah comes in. Ps: She was in the balcony because the wifi reception there's the bomb! #achievementunlocked

So, the kanchiong me wrap my shawl to cover myself before going a floor down only to bump into the waiter who's carrying a tray with sedap breakfast! And I loveee the card that I got for Atiqah. If you don't already know, I'm a sucker for such chic cards and hand made letters. Therefore, I always make sure that I have such for all my best girls along with my composition written in it! Hahaha. :)

Also, I must add we stayed in Crystal Sands for 2 nights and we wanted to extend for the rest of the nights we were in Maafushi but because we booked Sun Tan Beach Hotel for the Sea View Room. Kindly note that we booked a normal room earlier with Crystal Sands only to get an upgrade which we are really thankful for. Anywayyy, both accommodations was just 1 minute away. Okay I lied, it was just 20 seconds away or even less. Gong gong us booked our accommodation just right beside each other and thought hey why not try something different!

Even at Sun Tan Beach Hotel, the service was great. I mean.. Look at the effort that was put in from them rightt from the start of the candle light dinner by the beach? 5* I would assure you! Of course, all this been planned way before hand la. All I had to do be efficient and send out a few emails here and there and tadahhhh everything's settled!!! I will never forget the beautiful set up and how crazy the wind could be, the candles around us, the hearttt shape HAHAHAA and the fact that the both of us were wishing that our partner was there instead.. Hahahahahaa.

Also, it was the first dinner where we had a decent bowl of tom yum soup, grilled seafood mix platter and then only to have the waiter said, "Let me know when you're done with you meal, I'll bring out the cake. You have a cake? A birthday cake?" I think I gave him thatttt lookkk but he doesnt understand!!! Surely, another memorable birthday celebration for the both of us. Hahahaaha.

Don't you wish every morning.. Your view is as good as that? I do, every single day.
