ONE NIGHT ONLY.

According to the older generation, Hangout@ Mt. Emily is a 7-storey refurbished hotel previously known as Mount Emily Hotel in the 70s.

To get there, the only mode of transport is private cars and cabs. It's so secluded until it is almost impossible to walk in from the main road (at Peace Centre). The long and narrow up-slope to Mt. Emily is surrounded by gloomy greeneries (those old and dark green trees instead of those freshly looking trees) and places of worship(an Indian, sikh temple, Christian church). Also along the long winding road situated St. Margaret's Pri Sch.



the entrance.


some hostels beside the hotel.







We were greeted with black & white photographs on the wall at the crowded lobby area. Many backpackers or even rich angmoh tourists with LV trunks chose the place as their lodging. There were also quite a number of locals came all the way to dine at the Wild Rocket Restaurant at Hangout. Wilin Low, owner of the dining place was featured in a couple of food-tv shows on Channel 8 and U recently.

I was taken aback by how artistically well-taken the photos were, on the lobby wall. Even famished- looking neegros looked happy under the photographer's lens.

The front desk staffs are indians who apparently were condescending towards locals. Please leh, i dont think the angmohs would take a second look at you also. So black, cannot see anything. 'Or Lu Lu'



the only passenger lift.



the room with the handicap toilet.





the room window.





in the second room





i was eating something awful.


We booked 2 rooms. It was a last minute decision to book the second room, coz the Or Lu Lu receptionist black beauty at the front desk didn't want to close one eye and let all 5 of us squeeze into one room. After settling down, we embarked on a journey to explore the whole tiny hotel and its facilities.

First it was the get-together room:






nothing much.








Then it was the lounge,


Costs $2/game.



hot angmos playing pool. Free surfing of the internet
at the right side.











im not posing, im really striking.



the cushion area beside the pool table.
Plasma TV on the wall airing mostly Channel 5's.





There are really quite a number of Hot Angmoh backpackers at Hangout. Some of them could even grace the pages of the Abercrombie catologue. Ting, one day i must bring you there to ONS(as in bring ting there to let her ONS with the angmohs).

And then to the rooftop:




suntanning spots.



they were in the 10cm deep pool.



surprisingly, the view from the rooftop.







the rooftop by night:


can shoot idol drama here.





im hungry.



Infernal Affairs. Starring Tony K, Eric Tsang and Edison Chen.





butts and 'sanction'.







peeping mary peeped at me.



Thank God we booked another room, we ended up squeezing there instead of the 1st room with the handicap toilet coz there was some eerie aura in the 1st room especially in the handicap toilet.

And so we moved everything up to the second room, even the pillows & blankets and left the 1st room vacant.

The second room has a fucking small toilet. It was a 6-step process for me to bathe, i have to shift from my wheelie to the hotel stool, then the smelly girls carried my wheelie in the toilet. Then from the stool, i shift to the wheelie. THEN LASTLY, they carry the stool into the shower area, and i shift from the wheelie to the stool again. 3 steps only, but i gotta repeat the 3 steps when im done bathing.

There's actually nothing much to do at this 5-star budget hotel. Plus the location is SUPER INCONVENIENT and EERIE, we dont dare to wander around. We just kept eating, eating n eating. And i think i rocked at Pool than bowling, can join Sea Games already.

We didnt sleep much. We just talked n finally fell asleep 1 by 1 at around 4plus am, to wake up at 8am for the buffet breakfast provided downstairs.



only avril bothered to brush her hair.



mad woman.



haggard-ness.



bad breakfast.


The breakfast sucked. Hashbrowns, scrambled eggs, sausages, bread and cornflakes in buffet style. How many hashbrowns and eggs can u eat? Moreover, the items tasted like shit, i can cook better breakfast WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA u know thats not true.
