a moment of
As we arrived in Singapore I realised, with dread, that I had forgotten to bring ang pau for auntie's children.

We stopped by the concierge desk at first opportunity. "I forgot red packets," I explained. "Do you know where we can buy them?" The concierge suggested Chinatown, or perhaps a bookstore; then suggested we wait whilst he checked to see if he had any spare. He did, and I took three for auntie's children.

The crisis was averted, and the service at the Fairmont continued to be superb our entire stay.

Yes, the Fairmont is a great hotel. I liked the service when we were there just recently.

I liked the service, and I also liked being able to get to the MRT without leaving the building. That was most excellent.
