Raffles Hotel

DAY 4-Y5RW-Youjun Song – FEEDBACK
I arrived at the hotel at noon, and I was dripping with sweat as I stood in the humid weather.I had finally arrived at the luxurious Raffles hotel in Singapore, and the hotel was extremely large and crowded.The hotel had many rooms still vacant, and I soon was shown into my room, where a pot plant was sitting on the drawer next to the bed, and there was a huge toilet too.The room looked big, until I found out that inside the colourful wardrobe was a shiny metal door with the words ‘come in please’ taped on it.I decide to go in and I found a toy set!I realised it was probably lost so I decided to go to the desk to ask for some help.The hotel manager decided to call the person who just left the room to come back. He said he did not own it.We kept asking until the first person to be in the room who is still alive said it was his.The 94 year old human told me he had been here 67 years ago, and his son had lost the whole set.He decided to take it, and give it back to his son.The son was shocked that his toy still looked new, and it was a long time before the manager let me go back to my room., which seemed like the incident took a day, but it just took forty-five minutes.I had good sleep that night, and I saw the beautiful place of Singapore, and I wished I could stay here forever.I am wondering though if there are any better places than Singapore!

Once the staff gave me my room,I went to the Writers bar.I chose a book.I chose a chair and started to read.I could not stop reading.The book was so interesting.
I went back to my room to get changed to my swimmers.I raced to the pool.I dived in and did frontflips in the water.When I was resting on the comfortable chairs,the servants gave me my cocktail.The cocktail was so cold but delicious.I jumped back in the pool.I went to the top part of the pool.It was spectacular.
The next morning,I came down for breakfast with my luggage.I went to a buffet.The buffet had delicious food.Once I had finished breakfast,the taxi was waiting for me.He dropped me off at the airport so I could have my flight back to Sydney.When i was on the plane,I could not stop thinking about my lifetime opportunity at Raffles Hotel.

Deep-Dive Into Singapore’s Raffles Hotel LUCAS LIU
Told by Rick
The shining marble faces of the iconic hotel bounced light straight back into Rick’s eyes as the mammoth building boasted its magnificence and height. Rick was relieved when he escaped from the monstrous heat that seemed to follow him everywhere outside. As he glanced around, he saw a luxurious pool covered with colourful tiles. The aroma of food was wafted into his nose by the gentle gust of aircon.
The historic Writers Bar looked extraordinary to Rick’s eyes. Shelves of books towered high above his head as he sat pondering all the great writers that sat here, on this exact seat, that has lived. As Rick stood up, he made a promise to try to be as good as one of the writers one day.
Rick’s eyes couldn’t keep up with the bartenders hands whooshing around at dizzying speed. They were pouring things, slicing fruits and pouring liquid into a cup all at the same time. Then, with an expert finish, all of the bartenders made an unimaginable, sweet Singapore Sling. This prominent drink was first created in 1915 by Ngiam Tong Boon so the bartenders say.
“This hotel has always balanced tradition with modern expectations like ying yang,” says a staff member. “We have also introduced Afternoon Tea, which is where people can drink high-quality traditional tea with modern foods,”
As Rick’s shining boots clicked on the lobby, he thought about when he could visit this again. Even though it costs a lot, it is a satisfactory hotel, complete with modern and traditional practices. As he hailed a cab, he pondered about how this excellent iconic hotel came about, mixing luxury cuisine and 5 star rooms for those who have the time and money to come here.

I was there, standing in front of the luxurious building of the Raffles hotel. The glimmering surface of the hotel reflected like a piece of glass. Beautiful, shimmering rocks lay beside the grand entrance. The moment I walked in, I was fascinated by the beauty of the hotel. Soon I was welcomed into my room by warm workers. When I looked into my room, it felt like a dream. A soft comfy sofa along with a huge luxurious bed just for me. Not only was the room amazing, it had the view straight into the glittering pool of the hotel.
Beside the rooms was also the library. A lot of famous authors came there. The next morning, I set foot in the library. Around me were towers and towers of books stacked like dominos into the sky. The library was huge. You could find whatever you could imagine in there, from comics to journals.
Later, I went to the bar to test out their drinks. I started off with a tiny sip. It was fantastic. In a blink of an eye, I already jugged the whole bottle. I could not stop myself from ordering more. To end off this amazing visit, I went to the pool. As I jumped into the water, I felt splashes of comfortness cover me. After a lot of swimming, it was time to go. I gave a wave goodbye to the building as it set off to another journey. That experience was once in a lifetime.
