The Club By Harry's Hospitality

I recently travelled to Singapore for a regional conference and stayed at 'The Club By Harry's Hospitality'. A mouthful, I know. The organisers recommended this, and at first it did seem like an odd choice of a hotel, but I soon discovered the shortcut that made the walk to the office last only 10 minutes or so. Very convenient indeed!



The facade of the hotel

The hotel was undergoing renovation during my stay there, so that was a bit of a bummer. But since I was on a business trip anyway, it didn't matter all that much. The interior had nice touches here and there; even inside the lift. Cool, and cute as well. :)




I received a complimentary upgrade to a bigger room (they ran out of rooms with King-sized beds), so that was a nice surprise.

I really liked the room- EVERYTHING was in black and white so that was really unique. There was so much space, and it felt really luxurious. I loved the bathroom the best- there was a rain shower, a regular shower, and 4 little shower heads attached to the wall that aimed to spray you from all directions! Left and right upper body, left and right lower body! Bliss. I think I tried ALL of them one night and ended up flooding the bathroom! Muahahaha.






Cool signs on the door

Overall, I had a good time in Singapore. It was quite nice to have some time to myself, away from the kids and the busyness at home.

I met up with Harry Potter for dinner, and had Italian food (Sicilian, to be specific), which was really good. I tried 'spaghetti con bottarga' (the unique ingredient being mullet roe) and that was really delicious! Having said that, not everyone might like it though; the overall taste IS rather strong, but I loved it. Was really pleased that I tried something different; and Harry Potter 'belanja' some more- thanks so much bro!


Amazing view from the top floor of the office

All of us attending the conference also had a lovely dinner together- complete with cocktails. I had quite a lot to drink- 3 beers, 1 glass of wine and 1 lychee martini, if I recall correctly. *hic*

Needless to say, I was 'happy' throughout the evening! Haha. Since I'm still breastfeeding No.2, opportunities to drink are few and far between, so I was glad for this night out. I had to 'pump and dump' of course... :p

I thought I would sleep really well that night, but it turned out otherwise. My body felt so warm and I was really uncomfortable. Too much alcohol after a long hiatus maybe? >.<
