The Ritz carlton (S'pore) & Maserati GranTurismo

It was a Friday evening & me & a few colleagues were trying to catch a cab to Mohn Sultan so we can have out end-of-week drinks in Dbl O. Before that, we have 2 games of bowling at Marina Square. I did not play as I was really trying my best to fight off the ever-powerful Zee Monster & I wasn't really in the mood to hurl a heavy ball down an oily lane so I can knock down ten whitish thingys.

Seems like there are no cab drivers who are willing to stop for us by the road. I wonder if it is because they are just complying with the rules of having to pick up passenger sonly at taxi stands in the city area or they were just waiting for us to call a cab so they can earn an extra few dollars. Or it could simply be that those taxi drivers are blind.

An alternative was to walk to the hotel lobby next door where there would be a taxi stand for guests of the hotel as well as desperate people like us. In my mind, I was hoping there will not be too many hotel guests as they are given priority & there would not be too many people in the queue overall.

The driveway to the hotel lobby was long, curved & impressive. So this is what the driveway of a self-declared 6-star luxury hotel look like. Nevertheless, it created the feeing of being exclusive & private, yet grand & inviting, provide you can afford to stay there or have a meal in their restaurants.

At the top of the stort climb, this was the sight that greeted me. I was blown away, slightly overwhelmed by the aura. I wanted to come here often. Drive up in my sports car, accompanied by a very attractive partner (could be physical attractiveness, could be because she has a great character that makes everybody like her, etc) to stay for the weekend or just to have a meal. People would know me on a first name basis & I would feel comfortable in such settings which could be intidimating to the man in the street.

I booked a room during the following week for my birthday. Will have some pictures of the place posted soon after, if not I will provide a link to a short write up of the place & the stay in general. Hope the hospitality is legendary.

Ja neh!!!

P.S. have not been writing for quite a while so the words just did not come out easily. Do forgive the substandard post.
