How to give our beary dusty bears a shower 101

 Few days ago, our bears decided to gather around in one corner and have a sit-out until we give them a shower. They refused to budge until we give them their long-awaited shower as they miss getting hugs from our guests.

 Here is the beginner’s guide on how to give the bears a shower

.

Step One: Put all the bears into pillowcases so they are well protected from all the twirling and spinning around.

 Can you make a guess on how many bears can fill up one pillowcase?

Step two: Tie the ends of the pillowcase into a tight knot to make sure all the bears are comfortably secured.

Little Miss Grubby Grey refuses to have a shower with the others.

We had to hold her paw and tell her everything is going to be ok.

A last goodbye wave before the washing starts.

Step 3: Heehee, a little bit of soap won’t hurt.

 

voila....

in less than 2 hours our bears are beary clean, nice-smelling and dust free. Now go back to your little nooks and crannies dear bears and get those much needed hugs.

Growls, and so it seems that the end of 2011 is approaching.........

Beary Whaaat? It's Beary Best!!!

So in the last week, we have been having lotsa fun playing around in our facebook page...

Starting with the age old question of what might be the name of our next Beary-assuming-we-have-a-new-Beary-hostel.

Yes we do get that a lot! From the moment the first guest strolled into a Beary Good hostel in Feb 2010, we have been asked... "...so... what's gonna be the name of the next hostel?" countless of times...

Beary Awesome?

Beary Cool?

Beary Fantastic?

Beary the Matrix?...

Well, anyway.... we got a whopping list of responses within a short 2 hours!

(Ps: make a mental note on the first response by Tinai Lert!)

For their wonderful suggestions, 5 lucky friends won a free night stay at our hostel. (Interestingly 3 of them have already claimed the prize! That's really quick!)

And the more observant folks have been asking us for the meaning behind the "beary whaaat?" profile pic. Did you notice that?

Well, the time has come. Actually, it's because we can't hold back much longer~

Good news simply has to be shared!

We are proud, pleased and very happy to announce our latest addition to the Beary family...

Presenting to you... ahemm.... surprise? surprise!

beary best! will be our 3rd hostel in Chinatown Singapore! and we are in time to open our doors before 2011 come to a close!

Located along Upper Cross Street, we have yet again managed to retain our tradition of having the best and most convenient locations for our hostels. :)

The ever useful Chinatown MRT station is yet again a short 2 minutes walk away. Getting to Pagoda Street, where our a beary good hostel Headquarters is located... takes just 3 minutes. And within a 10 minutes stroll, you will find yourself at Clarke Quay, Boat Quay and Raffles Place (yes we have verified that against google map!)

But wait it's not just about location. We did not decide to call it BEST for no good reason.

Beary Best offers various dorm types to fit your preference... from 6 bed, 8 bed dorms and even a Ladies dorm! And you can expect even more top notch facilities at the same ever affordable prices!

We will reveal more details in the coming weeks... Including some sneak previews of the dorm rooms. Unfortunately, we don't have any "artist impression" photos to put up. We don't like "artist impressions" because:

i) we ain't no artist (we are simple people with no talents and without the money to afford fancy designers...)

ii) nothing beats showing the real thing (and it's definitely worth the wait!)

So STAY TUNED and if you are planning to make your way to Singapore... and you just can't wait for another week.... Click here to book now! or email us at BESTreservations@abearygoodhostel.com

Smile!!!

Beary Tourist-y : Marina Bay Sands

Got an invitation to the premiere of Cirque Eloize iD at Marina Bay Sands. The show was awesome!! The standing ovation from the whole theater was very very veryyyy well deserved. :D

That's 8 chairs, if you were counting!

This guy in red juggled 9 balls at his maximum (in every direction you can imagine)

The Trampoline finale that made the whole theater cheer for a solid 5 minutes. :D

The tickets are priced at S$65 to s$125, available at the Marina Bay Sands Box Office! :) The Lion King and Music from Andrew Lloyd Webber are also showing now!

Marina Bay Sands has more to offer than just quality Musicals and Circus performances. Visit the Art Science Museum where you discover the mysterious ways art and science connect. The unique exterior of this building..... I can't understand how it works. (Well you see, it takes the shape of a lotus flower. Where exactly is the center of gravity?!)

There, go figure.

Want a bird's eye view of Singapore? Go to the Sand Sky Park! :) The view there is breathtaking, both in the day and at night.

You may also want to visit the Casino if you're feeling lucky! :)

Before you leave, go to the Helix Bridge in the evening to get some beautiful pictures of the bridge and the night view of Marina Bay Sands :)

Marina Bay Sands is one of the places in Singapore where it makes me feel like I am a tourist myself when I'm there :) So, it's a place that you should not miss as a tourist! :D Do share with us pictures that you have taken if you go there! (So we can replace our google-d images in this post.. haha)

Check this space again for more posts about events happening in Singapore and our tourist hotspots!

Lotsa Love ♥♥♥,

Joyce!
