Our 1st step onto Boracay Island!!!

We stayed in Boracay Recency Beach Resort & Spa!!!

Address: Balabag, Boracay, Malay, Aklan

Boracay Recency Beach Resort is located at Station 2, in the middle of Boracay's long stretch of white sand beach. Station 2 is where the heart of the action in Boracay Island.

You may indulge in shopping pleasures at D’Mall or the local stalls along the beach front. The fun in Boracay doesn't end when the sun sets. Boracay night-life pulsates with many bars and restaurants serving food, drink, accompanied by stroller bands and live fire dancers. You be expected to have lot of fun until dawn.

Well for those who like a quieter place, go for Station 3, the southernmost section!!!

So this was the room I slept during my trip!

It had a balcony too!

The bathroom with hairdryer

Sea Breeze Café: Open-air dining with extensive interactive buffet offering international cuisine, live music and dancing chefs.

INTERVIEW WITH MR WORLD SINGAPORE 2022 (SENIOR): S3 UMAR ABDUL HAMID

1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? Personally, as the grand final day drew nearer, and diet and water had to be stricter, it was hard trying to keep up with the nutrition portion as well as the rest and recovery portion. Aside from that, i was starting to feel a little more anxious that i should and a huge part of it was because i invited my mother to be part of the audience and i wanted the event to be memorable for her.

From the auditions all the way to the Grand Finals, i knew i had to step up as prior to the audition, i let myself go quite abit because of the fact that i was juggling between work and handling my 3 children.

1) During your entire time of Mr World Singapore 2022 from the time you auditioned till you won the title, tell us - what was the most overwhelming moment for you? To be honest, it was when i saw my friend Stanley give the most touching proposal on coronation night. It really made me tear up seeing how emotional he got while on his knee 2) What was the prep process like? The prep process was pretty vigorous nearing towards the end, as there were many events to go for and practices to attend.
