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.

Keeping me going

Hello! I have received a post asking me why there hasn't been any entries lately. I have no excuses except to say that I was busy, lazy and completely forgot about this blog.

But because of the support, however little, it keeps me going. Right now we are planning for an expansion. We are planning to take over the lease of the motorshop beside us. It is a huge risk we are taking because the rental is not cheap.
We pondered for quite a while before we decided that we are going ahead. It is a risk we are taking but a calculated risk though.

Apart from being busy with the expansion, I am also busy with my school work. I am attending a part-time diploma course in Hospitality & Tourism Management at APMI. We have assignments to do and the deadline is next week. I have to rush. The assignment topic is The Hive and the hostel industry in S'pore. You can say it is easy but because I am in this business I have to make sure the assignment is of a high standard. A lot of pressure you know?

I have been promoted from Housekeeper to Manager!! Haha...I have a choice whether to stay over at The Hive. The business has progressed so I must progress also.

To whoever is reading this: I am free for dinner appointments anytime except Tues and Thurs for this month cos I have classes on those days.

So...I hope the expansion is a success so we can really establish ourselves as a key player in this industry. Wish us luck!
