The Hive's Journey

Starting a business sure ain't easy. Well, who said it was? Haha...I thought it would be nice idea to have the creation, the growth and happenings of The Hive archived and shared with everyone. It's like seeing a child grow and have a special affiliation with it. Happy reading and have a wonderful Journey with The Hive : The Backpackers' Hostel.

Happy New Year!

Today's a great day. Why? Almost everyone turned up to help paint the hostel. We had so much fun and laughter. The girls were great too. Kept asking for more work...hehe. William, Steve...you guys are so lucky to have them. They are such nice people.

I gave our friendly neighbour a nickname today - Doraemon. She has "lobang" for practically everything...even girls. Haha..she told me about the signage shop's daughter. Gotta check them out man! She lent us a ladder and some poles for painting. Her intention was good but her ladder was in bad condition. Poor William could not balance himself and ended up on the floor. Hurt his ankle in the end. Doraemon is a very nice lady...but a little long winded that's all...=p

We are almost done with the painting. How i wish everyday there are so many people around helping out...for a while, the corridor was packed and moving around was a challenge. I had some problems giving out tasks cos there wasn't enough brushes and trays to go around. After some "fire-fighting", i managed to sort things out.

The opening ceremony would be on 15 Jan...Can't wait to see the finished result of the hostel....
