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.

The new us

The pictures that you saw are not the finished product. Once the place is really done up about 90% i will post them up.

When everything is up, which wil most likely be mid may, i will organise a gathering. Chances are the gathering will be in June...my favourite month. Hehe...it will be done like a housewarming tradition but we call it hostelwarming. Need to bring gifts. Hehe...

I will do a gathering for my primary school friends, my secondary school friends, Echo 48/02, 52/03 and 56/04 each and every platoon and the instructors. It is going to be a hectic few months leading to the hostelwarming. After all that, it will be a good break when i go for my trip to Australia at the end of June.

A few entries in a 2 days...not bad huh...i have maximised my quota for this month. Haha..you won't hear from me for a while

4000th guests


I saw I had 88 posts since the 1st entry. Not bad....hahah....Fat Fat!


Sorry man...no pictures of people (except of our 4000th guests) cos me not the kind of person that goes around taking pictures of others. =)
They got a Sky Dining Voucher worth $88. I think it is a nice experience to dine 70m above the ground. Should give it a try

We are expanding

Ok...it is kinda late to inform you all but better late than never. =)

We are expanding. We have taken over the motorbike shop next door and we will be moving our reception over to the new place. It is a bigger and nicer place. A bigger lounge...more internet terminals, more dining space and a pool table! It is becoming something like my dream hostel. I do not exactly have in mind what my dream hostel is but I am very happy with Hive 4 (yes..that's what we are calling it).

Some people have told me that they like the cozy atmosphere we have currently at the reception area and they are going to miss it. Hive 4 has a totally different concept. It is going to be more vibrant and colourful. Not aircon though..hehe...the space is too big and the electrical consumption might be too taxing on our finances. Maybe if we really make big bucks we might consider?

I will upload some pictures of the place...soon. We will organise a "hostel warming" session sometime in June when things settle down. I have to get the system running properly cos I am going for a 2 weeks holiday in Australia.

Once we have officially start operating from Hive 4 I will write an entry here. Till then, wish us luck and prosperity for 2007! (thick skin i know...haha)
