2d1n at Doubletree Hilton JB


Wifey suggested a spontaneous 2d1n staycay over the deepavali LWE+ HBL, it turned out to be brilliant! I really enjoyed the extended mental break. Huge thanks to my sis for being able to babysit including cooking delicious meals (chicken porridge, tossed noodles and toast w scrambled eggs), revise tingxie with them and bring them out gaigai. 

It was our first time at DoubleTree Hilton JB, after hearing only good things about it since more than a decade ago. We felt pampered by their counter service and warm freshly made signature cookies, private jacuzzi and pool (maybe it was off-peak) and the comfortable and clean room and bed. 
There was a briefing to the division (about 70-80 ppl) just now by HR and external consultant. As typical, everyone was being passive audience and shy to answer or volunteer answers. At one point we were shown a scenario and asked "What do u think you should do?" - And the room was silent, eyes avoiding contact. So my Dir had to shoot an arrow and picked me 🫠 (at this point I thought he called me out cos I muttered a lame answer)! So I said a few lines. Before the consultant replied, my Dir added, "I know I can always confidently count on you to give a good answer." 

Wah heng I wasn't day dreaming!! 😄
