I was shellshocked when I knew about Ah Soon Holiday Resort. Firstly, the location didnt justify the reason why the reason was set up. I mean over the hill smack in the middle of what is left of a jungle in Singapore? Secondly, what made it so extraordinary, I mean, why did the guys go crazy over such an insignificance place such as Ah Soon? Is it because of the food? Or is it because of the accessibility to town? Anyway, I Soon came to find out the beauty of Ah Soon.

Ok, so Ah Soon is a made-up name of a holiday resort (or is it? X-D), but I have my reasons why I have to do so. It is amazing how much Ah Soon has got to offer. The 4 of us arrived late at the chalet due to some stuff we had to settle back at the other side, and we are only able to stay for a week in Ah Soon, but who cares? 1 week of enjoyment at Ah Soon Holiday Resort was enough to call it a break from all the hassles in the working world..

There wasnt much visitors this time round, probably because the rest of the residents were having a eco-tour in Brunei, but when we arrived, the rest from our tour group had already warmed up to the place. It looked like cheap accomodation, 8 people having a room, but to us, it was heavenly. With chairs and bedside lamps that looked like it came from Ikea, and shoe cabinets, springy beds and a paramonic hill view. The toilets were fantastic, with every cubicle having a toilet seat and powerful shower spray. I guess the only complain I can give would be the only 2 ceiling fans in the big room, making it a little stuffy. But hey, I can sleep in it, so I have no problem with a little hot air.

Speaking of sleeping, the guys were just great. They slept like freaking koalas. For the past 1 day, what they did was to sleep, sleep, sleep, eat, talk a bit, and then sleep sleep and sleep. It felt like they spent most of their time in their rooms hibernating. Well, in Ah Soon Holiday Resort, just like any other resorts, they provided games and activities for the bored visitors as well, such as mountain trekking, go-karting, river crossing? Does that sound too rigid? Well, that's because Ah Soon Holiday Resort provides visitors the thrill and adventure every outdoor lover wants! But alas, the guys in my group continue to sleep on, i guess there arent the sporty type.

Other than adventure sport activities, the resort provides other great features, such as a swimming pool, a running tracks with slopes and narrow courses, a playground?!?, a river for river activities, a concert hall. It had great food both inside the resort (4 restaurants, or is it 5? haven check it out yet) and on the outside (Great Yong Tau Foo and Roti Prata resturants just down the road). It had 2 gyms, but i guess it wasnt really popular, so they closed it from the public.

Ahh.. it really is THE holiday resort any guy would enjoy. The perfect getaway. The place where you dont need a Brain to think or worry about things. Sadly the days are numbered and friday awaits me... but hey, while I'm at it, I'll grab a chair, go to the balcony and enjoy the hilly breeze with a storybook in my hand...

Any idea where this place is?!? hahahahahahahaha!
