After work, went to Raffles hotel for a one night stay. We were offered Cathay Suite with a personal butler.Raffles is trying to recreate a positive experience for us and to rebuild their trust. We had simple dinner and chatted for a while. Somehow the hotel managed to create some sort of environment where we can just sit back comfortably and chat for long hours.
On Sunday morning, we were given complimentary breakfast, joining the high society for breakfast truly opened both our eyes clearly. Basically, the restaurant is filled with people with a lot of taste. I was almost stunned and felt out of place for a second. People in the restaurant looked so calm and relaxed at all times. They are all well dressed up and speak in the best English I could have hear in the entire Singapore. At that particular moment, I don't feel like I am in 2015, it feels like I am back to 1800. It manages to brought us back to time. It was truly an interesting experience.
After our Raffles experience, the extravaganza feeling wear off the moment we stepped out of the hotel and into the MRT station, where it was crowded with people. We took mrt back home, left our luggages, did some home chores and went to join our Hong Konger pore pore group Chinese New Year Dinner in NTU Alumni. The dinner cost about 70 ++ per person, as it was Raymond's birthday too. So we all treated him as well.
It was the first time we managed to chat with Kelvin and Julia, both from UK but born in Hong Kong. It is truly amazing to be able to clicked with them as our thoughts are fitted one after another. There are so many similarities between us and we managed to discussed things further more. It was truly a night filled with laughter.
Next week, will be my family trip to Australia, Perth.
Looking forward to it now. :)
