I stayed at this hostel for 3nights in a basic 12 Bed Mixed Dorm.

14usd/night

What I really like about the hostel..

Lots of spaces for me to put my things.

Breakfast time!

Very comfortable.

Nice view from the rooftop too. It was a bit hot in the afternoon because there's no air-con in this floor. However, it's very nice to come here at night.

Bean bags and movie night. No movies were played during my stay.

Pantry area.

Hairdryer and the room card.

It's quite a nice place with affordable price for a backpackers hostel.

First time I got a bunk bed with two pillows! That's a bonus. Haha.

Let's hi 5 the world!

Awesome!

I had to admit that I never felt so nervous in my life!!! I couldn't believe that I managed to get two tickets to Coldplay's concert. The tickets were very really hard to get! I guessed I was so lucky on that day. I booked the tickets during lunch hour hoping that I still could purchase the tickets after failing to get them twice. Do you know the feeling of being rejected twice? I couldn't buy the tickets twice!!! So I guessed 'third time is the charm'. I got it and I was really on top of the world. When I called my friend to inform her that we got the ticket, she burst into tears too. Tears of happiness. I really wanted to shout when I saw the words 'YOUR TRANSACTION IS SUCCESSFUL.' 

We went to Singapore on the 1st April 2017.It was such a sudden decision to go there because we didn't expect that we were so lucky to get the tickets last minute. We were overjoyed. However,  we were so nervous when we reached Singapore and we didn't know the reasons. Lol. Maybe this was due to the reason that it was our first time seeing someone that we really like. Therefore, we had the butterflies feelings and everything that you could name it. We were so afraid that we couldn't enter the stadium on time and etc. We felt relieved when we managed to enter the stadium successfully.

Even though we were seated in a restricted view area, we still enjoyed ourselves very much! The crowd was great and I got a chill down my spine when everyone in the stadium sang FIX YOU, THE SCIENTIST, YELLOW and A SKY FULL OF STARS.
When I listened to Chris singing my favourite songs in live, I was in awe. Was this real? Was this a fairy tale bliss? I couldn't believe it. I couldn't breathe properly because it was so surreal! It's was the best night of my life. Everyone was singing and dancing together. 

My best partner in crime. 

I couldn't believe it!!!  Look at the stars. Look how they shine for you!

Finally we managed to squeeze inside the shop. I was surprised to this machine.The staff helped us to order. However, this machine was for person who had credit card or their local Ezlink card. When it was our turn to order, the staff just motioned us to go to order at the counter. There was a customer ordered 50 set of chicken rice. Very insane. And we were unlucky that we queued behind this customer. Hence, we really waited for so long to order the chicken rice. Not to mention we had to wait for approximately 20 minutes to pick up our food. By the time we finished eating our food, it's already 11:30 a.m. 

Luckily the food was delicious. Really worth the wait. If not I swear to myself I won't go to the restaurant again. 

After we paid the money, we got a number and we had to find a seat. Good luck for people who go to this shop alone because you may find it hard to get a nice seat. Your seat will be gone when you go to pick up your food at the counter. Luckily there were two of us so no people dare to take our seats. Besides that, I was lucky to get to see the Chef Chan walking around the shop. He was really busy. He's clearly no time for fame, taking photographs and fan signing session. Nope. Some of the tourists also didn't recognise that was him when he came out. 

We ordered two set of chicken rice. The set came in with a plate of chicken rice and assorted drinks. One set costed us SGD 6. I did not really fancy the taste of the rice. The rice is not that nice but the chicken is the bomb. So juicy and tender!!! Nothing fancy but hey at least I had tried Michelin-starred food in my life. Lol. Next time I should just order a whole chicken and share it with my friends. Yes we just came for the chicken!

If you really want to try this Michelin-starred chicken rice. I suggest you to go to their previous stall which is located at the Chinatown Complex Food &Market Centre. Less crowd. Less frustration. The only downside is you have to dine in at an area with no air-conditioner because it's a hawker centre.

Opening hours: open daily except Wednesday from 10AM–7PM

Let's hi 5 the world

• Reception: They have 24 hours reception which is very nice. We arrived 3 a.m. early in the morning at Singapore. However the check-in time for the hostel was at 2 p.m. It was really late and we were very tired and wanted to find a place to rest. I sent an email and a message to their Facebook to ask them whether we could just stay their common room and leave our luggage their while waiting for the guests to check out. Surprisingly, they were very responsive. After we reached Singapore, we just went to Mustafa Shopping Centre first.*The shopping mall that operates 24hours* Then we walked from Mustafa Centre to the hostel. Even though we could not check in but they still allow us in their common area. 

• Staffs： During my stay I only saw one staff at the hostel. A middle age guy sitting at the counter. 

• Washroom：They have separate washroom for both gender which is good. However, the female bathroom was quite dirty because there were kids staying at this hostel. I saw some puke and * early in the morning. It was quite smelly. Luckily they cleaned it. In the evening everything was clean again.  The female bathroom has 4 shower rooms and 2 toilets. Shower cream was not provided. There were two hairdryers attached near the sink and free for use. Hot shower was available. 

• Room: The room was clean and nice. The good thing was the security lockers were inside each dorm. The room has an air conditioner and a small wall-mounted fan. However, we could only switch the air conditioner on after 7 p.m. Linen and bed sheet were provided. Each bed had a reading light and a charging port.

• Common Area: The common area was small. 

• Atmosphere: I doesn't feel like I was staying in a hostel. The people who stayed there were mostly families. 

• Food: The free breakfast was okay. The usual bread and toast, jam, coffee, and tea. However, this hostel provided cereals and milk too. 

• Luggage Service: The hostel did not have a room for the luggage storage. We just simply put our backpacks on the floor near the common area and the entrance to the dorm rooms. However their luggage service was free of charge.

• Location: It was located near the  Rochor MRT Station, Bugis MRT Station, Little India MRT Station. The nearest MRT station was Rochor. All these MRT stations are within walking distance only. 

Receipt. We had to return the receipt for the deposit. I almost threw it away. LOL.

Security lockers were inside the room so it was very convenient for us to store our things.

So this was how my room looked like. The room for my one night's stay at Singapore. My roommates were female backpackers from Germany, Thailand and  Korea.
