Overall experience:

I'm really glad to experienced staying with Holiday Inn Express Orchard Road. The room itself may seem pretty basic but if you intend to spend most of your day exploring the city, the hotel room is more than sufficient. It is perfect for singles and couples coming to town. For the accommodation quality and location though, it's seriously good value.

As a stayca option, it's pretty cool and comfy too. I don't mind coming back to the hotel with my friend and continue playing our Overcook game on Nintendo Switch.

Room rates start from S$228++ for a one night's stay in a Queen standard. Reservations can be made by visiting hiexpress.com/orchard-road, calling +6690 3199, or emailing rsvn.sinex@ihg.com.

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.

The prep process was pretty vigorous nearing towards the end, as there were many events to go for and practices to attend.
