Ask, and it shall be given. / myLot

We recently spend a night in The Fullerton Hotel to celebrate Abbey’s 10th year being expatriate. After Abbey confirmed the booking with the hotel, I immediately coordinated with the guest relation for our little surprise. Well, it is astonishing that The Fullerton went for an extra mile. They gave us a room upgrade, early check-in/late check-out, 2 glasses of Merlion Mocktails, they decorated our room with balloons and orchids, a cake and all of those are free. “Ask politely and it will be given.” — there’s no harm in trying!

We should always try to ask what we have in mind. Most of the times , hotels specially the 5 stars will do the extra mile for their guests.

What matter most is that we've tried, I think... If we don't ask we won't know if we'll be given or not...

Yes you are correct. But some people are shy to ask.

@DianneN please do. Or Capella Hotel. That is the hotel where Trump and Kim Jong-Un met. Capella is in Sentosa Island, a little bit far from city.

You remind of a biblical verse that is Mathew 7:7. This is commonly referred to as the phone call to the almighty God.

It is! Have you found personal significance or experienced instances where this principle of asking and receiving has played a role in your life?
