Alright, I'm back from my chalets. Overall, it's pretty fun.
Scout chalet was great, really had a good time slacking my time away playing cards, and talk crap with the guys. Talked about almost everything; realised it has been a long time since I spent my time talking to them, because of the time spent on preparing for the 'O'Levels Examinations. Anyway, the chalet was at the Aloha Changi Government Chalets, and the one we stayed at was somewhat like a cottage. It is really damn big, the first storey has 2 rooms, 2 toilets, one dining hall, and a hall. Hope you guys reading this can imagine the size of that. The second storey only has a room, but altogether, it's really bigger than most chalets in Singapore. An additional information is that Lee Kuan Yew, Minister Mentor, actually stayed there before. Lol, cool isn't it? And, if I'm not wrong, it's $250 a night.
Well, it was supposed to be a barbecue, but so many people were crowding around the pit, that the secondary 4s had to get nasi lemak from Changi, the one which is supposed to be famous, lol.
We just sat upstairs and talked a lot of crap. Most went to sleep after that, excluding Chee Hoe. I slept about 4 hours or so because the room was just too cold, and ended up dozing off sitting on the staircase.
We checked out next morning at around 0930. Miss Kwa sent us to Pasir Ris to 2D1 chalet. (good teacher, isn't she? =D)
We reached there, and saw the girls watching television. The scouts went to shower since we didn't shower the night before. We play cards with a little money after we took a shower and after Jeremy bought the cards. All I can say was that Jeremy was unlucky that time. (Lol.) We wanted to go to the LAN shop initially, but none was there, so we decided to play pool. It was damn expensive! Damn damn damn expensive. $9 for an hour. Well, although it was expensive, we carried on to play. Guo Xiang, Jeremy and Simon were new to the game, but was handling it pretty well after a few tries. Was pretty fun overall, but, only played for an hour. After that, we went to the arcade. I didn't play anything except Daytona, nothing much interests me in the arcade, that's why I seldom go to the arcades.
Went back after quite some time of hangin' around in the arcade. Went to Cheers before returning though. We saw Serene, Jia Min, Kar Mun, Eileen, Joline and Hui Ying preparing the ingredients for the barbecue.(Not sure if I missed any, but hope I didn't.) We saw them, but didn't really help them, lol. Well, I offered to start the fire, so, I guess, I ain't that bad right? ;)
The time to start fire came, and the guys helped. Then, we realised the charcoal was wet, because of the rain the night before. YES, we brought it from the scouts chalet, LOL, talk about cheapskate. So, naturally, we had trouble starting the fire, but after some time, we were able to make it, and the time was just about right to start barbecuing. Everybody comes out and starts barbecuing! I was just fanning to keep the amber burning, cause' I'm afraid the amber might not spread due to the water content in the charcoal. I felt my lungs aching, then. Lol, too much smoke. Everything was going fine then.
Well, the barbecue was great, but some people just have to learn how to less selfish, and save some for those who have not eaten. Some even took the food even though they are told that the food were for those who have not eaten. Seriously, I've got nothing to say.
Anyway, there are people who are worse, I just don't want to mention. So, yeah, overall, it's pretty alright, excluding those who didn't contribute to the fun.
Clear up with those usual people who helped, lol, and it has been a long time since I saw cockroaches. Just because I avoided them, Eileen said I was afraid of them. -.- Lol, I'M NOT. Anyway, in comparison, I'm sure those men who avoid Geylang aren't afraid of prostitutes right? ;)
Took a shower after awhile and played cards.
We went to the second storey to sleep on the floor, cause' Cheryl, Bao Hui and Vanessa were sleeping on the bed.
Lol, I wonder why, just before we were about to go to sleep, everyone becomes so superstitious. My head was actually facing the window, but changed the position cause' they said it wasn't good. Then, Cheryl saw a mirror in front of the guys, and said that it wasn't good to sleep in front of the mirror. So, Richie and Simon removed the mirror and put it under the bed, which was later brought out and turned around to face the wall instead.
Then, we wanted to sleep, but just as ALL the lights are switched, it was damn dark, so, Chih Leong and I requested to at least switch on the light above the bed. But, it was too bright, so Richie, together with Jeremy and a few others who want to go to the toilet, went to switch on the light, on the first storey, to allow some light to enter from the small window at the corner of the room on the second storey. Everything went fine after that. LOL. What a hassle man.
Morning was pretty boring, woke up, wash-up, watch Cheryl, Bao Hui and Vanessa leave, played cards, bid goodbye to Simon and Jeremy cause' Simon's father was there to fetch them home, carried on playing cards, and finally went to check out. Lol, I'm lazy.
Overall, both chalets were good, enjoyed it pretty much. Lol, I guess this will be one of the last times that I'll see those people. =\ Sad, but there will be a time when we will part, so... I just hope that we'll remain in contact and probably organise outings, but not chalets, and enjoy each other's company. Lol.
That's all folks!
