About the hostel:
It is a high-end private residential district lined with large mansions and posh super cars. Yet, at the end of Tanglin Hill, there is one deserted compound that has been abandoned for as long as three decades.
It was the early fifties. Without a proper education system, the Bruneian government decided to send its brightest students, first from the Malay stream and later from both the Malay and English streams, overseas. Some of the students were sent to Singapore. As the number of Bruneian students increased, the Bruneian government purchased a piece of land at Tanglin Hill to build a hostel for the convenience of the students.

Another blog especially dedicated to the hostel:
Sadly, we were unable to take a picture of the main entrance or gate :-( There were a few people around, so we had to hop over the fences as quickly as we could as soon as everyone left
Despite the exterior and number of paranormal stories I've read on a local ghost blog, the place was actually very peaceful and serene
The ceiling is surprisingly still really pretty
Evien found some books placed along the windowsil which turned out to be bibles
The bear really freaked me out, voodoo much?
That is one huge fallen tree
The outdoor toilet
