NY Clique @ Hangout
The NY Clique is a group of my 1st 3 months JC classmates. It's quite amazing actually i would say. Despite being a first 3 months class, we're still together. If you ask around, most would tell you that their 1st 3 months class is long long gone. No more in contact. However, this is not so for mine. For the past 5 years, we have regualr class outings. BBQ at Qihui's place is a must. And not forgetting our annual hotel stay where we drink till the cow comes home. This year, under Xianjing's recommendation, we stayed at this hotel/hostel called "Hangout @ Mt. Emily".
The road to Mt Emily was no easy task. First you have to alight at Peace centre, the walk towards Sophia road and then into wilkie road. Walk walk walk walk for the next 20 mins uphill and there u have it - Hangout @ Mt. Emily haha. By thenwe would have been 1/2 dead if not 3/4.
At first glance, many would be disappointed. No tv and no fridge. What kind of hotel is this. But the decor and the modernised furniture more than made up for it. It's not those kind of sleezy hotel. Rather, its more of a hostel for international students. The furnitures are simple yet elegant. No clutter and no mess. Really just a simple hostel but it feels right at home.
Window view out of our room. In front lies an eerir mansion which has green street lights at night.
Qihui & Leslie
After we've finish looking around the room, we set off for Plaza Singapura for dinner. Just nice, 6 of us managed to squeeze inside leslie's BMW haha. Xianjing and Leslie were in front with the rest of us at the rear. Had the famous Indonesian BBQ Sotong at the PS food court. Wow, its really very power. Got to try it again someday.
Xiuyan, Meihua and Qihui
Met up with Wanhua, William, Guanhua (Guni), Lingfong and Huijun. After that we headed back to the hotel for more games and whisky haha. Took a few group photos. Dunno why but looks a lot like family photo haha. Of course over the years we got addition to the family like William, Lingfong and Meihua lol.

So it's back to the whisky and stuff haha. Played our traditional game of Indian poker and black jack. Terrible. The losers ended up drinking full cups of pure whisky coz each person just need to add 1 shot of whisky to the forfeit and whala, we have a full cup of whisky on a small little rock. No surprise that in the end we finished the whole bottle of Chivas by 1am. Actually Guanhua also brought another bottle of Jim Bean Whisky haha. But since we decided not to get dead drunk this year, we shall leave it to next year's drinking session.
Our Chivas
Oh yah, while we were walking around the area, we found this place at the rooftop. It's sort of like a mini gathering area with tables and chairs, and a small pool to add to the atmosphere. The lightings at the centre of the rooftop area also gave it a nice feeling. Dun really know how to describe it but yah, it's just plain nice. The people that made this place sure has taste.
Lights at the rooftop
So back to drinking, by the end of our Chivas, can see wanhua is dead drunk. So the gossip session begins and we shared each other's lives, how we have been, any 劲爆 news. Break 了吗? and stuff haha.
Wanhua is dead drunk haha
So we talked till about 7am then took a short nap and woke up at 8 plus in the morning to prepare for check out. Guess by next year most of the girls will be working. It'll be quite hard to get everyone to stay over le... Sigh... But nonetheless, we had fun and hope that not too long in the future, we'll have our next outing again - I predict KTV again haha...
