5/5 Nida I. 2 years ago on Google
This
is
what
peak
self
pampering
looks
like:
With
zero
expectations,
I
made
a
last
minute
booking
on
my
birthday.
I
simply
meant
to
get
away
from
the
responsibility
of
having
to
celebrate
my
birthday
surrounded
by
friends
and
family
but
what
I
received
in
the
end
was
far,
far
more
than
what
I
could
ever
ask
for.
Upon
checking
in
I
mentioned
shamelessly
that
it
was
my
birthday
and
the
lovely
lady
at
the
front
desk
promised
to
send
over
“something”.
I
must
add
that
at
this
very
point
I
was
already
in
awe
practically
from
the
moment
I
entered
the
premise
as
the
entire
building
was
very
tastefully
designed.
The
lighting
hit
just
right
in
every
corner
and
all
the
colors
paired
very
well
one
with
the
other.
Albeit
on
the
smaller
side,
the
layout
made
the
hotel
seem
very
spacious
on
the
inside.
The
room
was
very
bright
and
inviting.
I
tested
the
bed
and
the
window
seat,
both
were
very
comfortable.
Then
the
sheets,
oh
the
sheets.
They
smelled
exactly
like
my
ex
boyfriend
and
the
slight
whiff
I
caught
of
whatever
detergent
they
were
using
immediately
brought
tears
to
my
eyes
in
the
most
beautiful
nostalgic
way
possible
because
after
all
he
really
was
a
great
guy.
I’m
sorry,
before
I
get
further
distracted
I
must
continue
to
get
the
word
out
of
how
great
my
stay
here
was.
Like
a
giddy
child,
I
went
on
an
adventure.
Up
and
down
the
elevator.
This
is
what
Darth
Vader
sees
I
thought
to
myself
as
I
watched
the
elevator
buttons
responded
by
a
simple
hand
gesture,
without
directly
touching
them.
I
sipped
on
my
welcome
drink
at
the
rooftop
bar
as
a
light
drizzle
fell
on
the
city
below
me.
Much
later
in
the
evening
I
sat
at
their
restaurant
to
eat
a
very
hearty
bowl
of
noodles
served.
I’m
not
sure
what
exactly
it
is
that
stuck
with
me
the
most
from
my
stay
because
everything
down
to
the
smallest
details
were
so
seamlessly
crafted.
It
was
the
fragrant,
rich
coffee
in
the
room
which
they
ground
themselves
not
some
generic
brand,
the
pretty
card
which
I
tearfully
had
to
hand
in
as
I
claimed
my
welcome
drink.
At
night,
as
I
drifted
into
sleep,
I
realized
that
life
truly
is
beautiful.
The
entire
stay
had
my
inner
child
soothed,
my
insomnia
cured,
my
conscience
cleared
and
for
the
first
time
in
a
long
time,
I
felt
truly
at
peace.
Oh
by
the
way,
the
“something”
that
was
promised
by
the
lovely
lady
at
the
front
desk
was
their
signature
honey
toast
and
later
on
a
bottle
of
beer.
