DEBORAH LOH
During the first meeting, I remember the hotel owners talking about
how the hotel was special to them because of the history of the area and
of the building. One thing they mentioned was how Beach Road, just nearby,
was called Beach Road because it used to be a beach. It seems so obvious now
but despite being in the area very often, I never made the connection between
the name and history.
The artwork for this room is a play on how Singapore has changed. By change,
I guess I mean progress - especially in terms of wealth. I know many businesses
place great importance on Fengshui. Could Fengshui have helped our little nation
do so well financially? I don't know but if so, may the strategically placed coin and
happy Luohan babies bring you many unexpected dollars in your pocket.
