We arrived around noon time and Mother in law managed to get 2 rooms. One with the Harbour View that can see the NDP Fireworks and the other is city view for the Aces Family to spend a night. The 2 rooms were on the 54th Floor. This is another 1st time for the Aces Family - staying at Swissotel the Stamford and room on such high floor with PRIVATE Balcony.
We checked in to the city view room as the other room was not ready yet. I was impressed with the room size. It was BIG and i think it can put in another set of Queen sized bed. Good thing with big space, Anthea and Anders can run around the room and enjoy the room.
After lunch, i had wanted Ander to have a power nap but i think he was just too excited and happy with the hotel stay that he could not sleep. He kept going on the bed and off the bed.
At 5.15pm, Anders and myself got ready for the NDP Preview, we walked over from the hotel to the Marina Platform. Most of the people were dressed in RED, so were WE...hee : )
There were FUNPACKS given out and we had 2. The show started at 6pm, Anders was ever-ready to see the helicopters & F16 flypass. He enjoyed the show. I felt the the Preview audiences were not as spontaneous as the crowd we had during the Combined Full Dress Rehearsal. I didn't felt so warm like before. Anyway, after the 1st hour of the show, we returned back to the comfort of the hotel to watch the Fireworks.
Around 8.15pm, the fireworks started. It was nice but a little disappointed because at one point, it became too smoky and we can't see the fireworks as it was behind the smoke. Anyway, the important part is Anthea and Anders had a Great Time watching the Fireworks and enjoying the hotel stay.
On Sunday, we had a good buffet breakfast at the Kopi Tiam, then we returned to the room for Rest & relax before going for a dip at the pool.
After lunch we checked out around 2pm and headed for Home Sweet home. We had another relaxing weekends and we are now looking forward to our holidays in mid August. Also the very 1st time that Aces Family will be travelling on our very own.

The show was only 1 hour? That's very short.
Great bonding time you had with Anders :)
Wow! Going for a holiday? Enjoy! May I know where to? Thought of going somewhere too :)
Hi LZmommy,
The show was for 2.5 hrs but the mass display part was quite boring, so we went back to the hotel room to have dinner and view the fireworks.
Yes,we are going for a short trip 4D3N KL/Sunway Lagoon F&E package in mid august.
I would highly recommend that you go for a family tour before L starts schools, cos next time u have to follow SCHOOL HOLIDAYS crowd...hee : P
