The Ritz Carlton Millenia

It is full dress rehearsal for National Day Parade this evening. Prelim exams for "O" level was over yesterday. And B3 has been requesting to go to the parade. B2 has been asking when we are going for holiday. So Mummy checked around yesterday with the various hotels that were offering NDP rooms. She settles on Ritz Carlton as it offers the best view where the parade just right in front of the hotel. She also cut a deal to include all three boys for the meals that comes with the room. Ritz Carlton lives up to its reputation for service. The staff are friendly and makes eye contact all the time. I think they may be a little biased toward teenagers as it seems like the two older boys do not get the service or attention when they need something.
It is the first time for us to stay in a hotel in Singapore. It is just like holiday oversea. All three boys are very excited and enjoys the new and strange environment. It is also the rare time they stay in a hotel.
Ritz Carlton Millenia is luxurious. We stayed in a room with living and dining room. The toiletries are by Bvlgari. The towels are very thick and soft and feel luxuriant.
According to the research on Happiness, it is memories and events that makes people happy and not things. So the money is well spent as our family will be nursing the sweet memories of watching the fireworks that explode their glories directly in front of our eyes.
This is happiness indeed! If you want to know more about happiness, click on Science of Happiness under title my interesting links on the right.
