| Xmas eve @ Hangout |
Merry Xmas! Did you had a great Xmas eve? I did. This year i finally celebrated Xmas eve outside and not the usual watching tv at home. All thanks to my supporting buddies, we had this plan drafted and organised one month earlier to realise it on this big day. Our initial plan was to find a secluded place for our retreat on Xmas eve night. Then each one of us would bring some food and eat together. We had a hard time choosing the hideout. Location and cost were our top consideration. We thought of various hotels, chalet and camping under the moonlight at East Coast Park.
Our final decision came only just few days before the eve. We chose to retreat at Hangout Hotel. We were lucky to still have room available at this last hour. I'm thankful everyone managed to turn up for this gathering (Prata, Chris, Crispy, Joe0, Joe1). After years of not celebrating Xmas, this was really a special day for me.
We met up at noon to buy our food at Carrefour Plaza Singapura. We bought enough for a feast.
- grilled chicken x2
- sushi platter x3
- grilled pork rib
- sausage x2
- honey baked ham
- salad
- red/white wine x3
- green tea x2
- yogurt
- potato chips
- log cake (breadtalk)
- pizza x2 (pizza hut)
- prawn crackers
- durian puff
- apricots
Our ordeal came when we walked to Hangout hotel carrying all the food. We took the long route climbing steep stairs before we found Hangout.
Look out for this narrow and easily unnoticeable stairs to go to Hangout.
Hangout hotel is located at mount emily. Quiet and away from the noisy city crowd.
Hangout room cost us close to $300, but it was worthwhile since its a big room that we can all stay together. The room is cosy and simple. No tv, no music. But its ok, we bought laptops so we had music, MTV and internet.

We had our dinner feast at the roof top, Look out. Lushness of green, Buddha sculptures, water fountain, perfect romantic spot for our romantic night. We had some moments enjoying the quiet night scene from here.
Great spot for nap under the sun? We had our dinner at their spot in the evening.

Enjoy soaking your legs in the cold water.
See those fruits growing?
Good place for chill out at night.
Our feast. We used out bare hands to tear and eat the chicken. (pic grabbed from Crispy)

After dinner, we went to Log out to relax. Surf net, play pool, wasting time. Back at our room, we exchanged Xmas gifts. I got Chris's porcupine keychain haha. We spent out night watching MTV from youtube. And also helping Joe1 savage her laptop from virus. Guess how many virus were detected after installing Avast Antivirus? 600+ virus!
This was our last supper, log cake and durian puff. How can Xmas goes without log cake :) We surfed youtube for super old Singapore soap dramas's MTV until 0430am then we decided to retire for this wonderful long night. Let's hope next year we will have another great Xmas eve celebration too!

I like the location you guys took a break, but seriously, why cover their faces -__-..... well, not the biggest issue.
But it's a nice location for you guys to celebrate christmas. Man, I never have a Christmas outing in a nice spot like you have. Jealous I am.
