Arf i missed OUT on one day!
not jus anyday. MY BIRTHDAY!... waaaa...

ah.. nvm.
better like this..

so on 12 dec im awake till midnite. and i get my first wishes! yay! colin of course first to wish me, on the upstairs bed, wad dya expect. den grace (ur second!) sms. and den i got calls on mi hp. from marie, n interuptin her, gobi.. haha..

well den i sleep.

so my bdae is as-per-(annum)-normal.
not mundane in any sense. jus tt normal saves a lot of explanations.

anw we had lunch in j8. pammy carol auntina and colin, deebs, n mum.. and followed soon afterward, (soon bcos of shopping and digesting) by swensens ice crem! yay!!

i was reli tired la.. for some reason.. anw.. so we go back and watch HP3, deebs's bdae prezzie. yay!

den was de cake cutting ceremony. the quiet family one. which is good. haha

anw.. now i got a chalet to go for... not overnite most prob.. haha.. okie.. ciao!

Weeee!!!

Finally im back home.. i was at de chalet for past few days. wed, thurs, fri, and of course saturday mornin'... and was so cool..

I mean like jus hang out with the "unit". familie..! cuz's.

So how was it? on wednesday was jus a normal chalet day. i.e. play with cousins jon, jackie, stevie. altho i say its a normal chalet day, it doesnt take away any lafter or fun-ness of it la.. jus normal as in 'wat should be expected of a typical chalet day lah'.

well, tt was said to point out that in saying that, thursday would be considered an atypical chalet day. cos my frenz came over. namely naf, keegan, chunmin, marie, n jz... so ya.. but was fun la.. of course it will be. wat we did? monopoly! n cycling while the sun still shone too. and ironically though throughout the three days it kept threatening to rain, it nvr did. n the first drops were finally felt on the last night, while we were all safely snuggled in our cosy beds.

oh anw im jumping the gun.

oh ya on that "frens-day" gobi n norman were supposed to come, but norman didnt hv enuf time to make it there la, or he was slightly under the weather, or both la.. n gobi, well, dunno la.. mb he got lost.. in a time portal or smthg.. haha.. but no problem.. there wouldnt hv been much to do anw..

time portal i say cos he called me at 12 NOON on 10 dec! wishing me happy bdae.. bit weird.. time portal? bleh.. haha.. "P.S. gobi can u explain this to me if u read this? thx.. hahaha.."

anw on friday i had badminton training in the afternoon. but not much trouble in a five minute walk to school.. och.. nvr felt that before man.. jus get up, 5-10 min walk along the beach to sch.. so convenient.. man i'll miss that..

so i had to leave early, cos there was party after that, n had to get a quick ride back hopefully, n santosh was there, so i borrowed a bike la.. SC good la, rent out bikes.. och wait.. nvm, no talk abt that taboos subject here.

n i used that bike to go cycling wif da guys.. jon n jackie n steven i mean. n went further than before.. towards 0-pt, as i soon learnt afterwards, the point that says zero kilometers. Zero-point!. ingenius.. haha..

anw the party was after that, n after it ended there was excess food, shared among the pple, n so we hv food for todays lunch, but again im jumping ahead here.

so we wanted to cheong the nite. without a shutting of the eyes, but some of my 'cheonging-partners' lost the will after some time, n well, eventually conked out. so ya.. too bad.. no cheonging partners, n so i oso say goodnite la. plus the rain provided such a wonderful sophophoric feel.. how not to sleep?

bah.. anw.. nthg much missed by sleeping. in the morning had to rush to sch to return the bike, and soon after that, check out. btw this is today morning. n then wat we do when we go home? all the necessities tt were unable to be done in the chalet. leave tt to ur imagination.. bleh

and a mass clean up of the house. tt was too pretty necessary. ya.

and so its a normal saturday, n as a family, or rather few members in the family we end up watching home videos, some of us more likely. others tended to play cards or smthg, perhaps as a hangover from chalet fever.. bleh.. hahahaha...

n then so on and so forth, n here i am. after a chalet break.

next chalet: badminton chalet - 14-16 dec, probably go one day. mb stay one night. not sure at all.. haha.. over and out~!

PS my bdae is 13-dec!

yay!!!

Singapore draw with hosts Vietnam in 2004 tiger cup. great news for all those who still faithfully support singapore national futball team, a gradually dwindling number...

and i realise i was waving the indonesian flag while shouting on for singapore. kinda similar rite? the two flags i mean..

but considering we played like shit, good la

oh.. i better go sleep early today.. got chalet tmr!! yay!!!

adieu!

WaLkAbOuT

today is 6 dec though my watch tells me its the 5th. im still figuring out how to operate my watch.. bah.. shouldnt hv thrown the manual away lorz..
~~~

i wake up early in the morning, the sun has already risen to shine the whole sky. well, whats new, i hv been waking up past 10 for the past few days.
yay! appam! eat....

how must go out at 1.00. meet jen n wz.. we going to watch a movieeee
without a paddle.

but bishan don hv the show...

so we hv to go down south. not that i mind or anything. so ps it is.. plaza singapura, dhoby ghout, the show's at 2.50 btw.. and so we hv to eat at Mac. cos WZ like mac. n everywhere else is crowded to packing point. n i get my NZ souvenir too! keychain! wif a little kiwi on it..

DUH its from NZ =P.. u wont find a 'roo on it.

so the show is like at 2.50 pm. but i think it started at 3.15 in the end. but in the premovie advertisments theres a mention abt fall, n miss WZ asks me wat's "fall", n da guy next to me, goodness knows whu it is, answers. bleh... "autumn". jen ought to hv answered first rite? she noes it personally. bah.. haha.. funny moment.

so the movie goes on.. n on.. its quite nice. interesting and funny at the same time.

and on we go..

now finally the kopitiam is empty. great, cos im hungry. fried kway teow is cheap, makan time! (wah as i write this i getting hungry!)

and walk on...
and on...

now time to go home. so we take mrt. back home. yay!

end of outing!

and so i come home doing the usual boring thing of going online. i don wan monopoly.

oh btw chalet coming soon. wednesday. two days time!!! yay!!!

all is organised. hopefully... yesh.. oh tmr i hv to wake up early.. got to do GP in the morning with popss.. haha... so better sleep early!! adieu!

Sumhow i think i m screwing up my social life more and more and more jus as time passes. why? dont ask me.. hmm maybe i jus cant let go of wat i had had last year. and perhaps i jus dont adapt to change sufficiently quickly.. bah...

i think pple now hv begun to hate me, or at least dislike me. and i m feeling it openly now. worse still my practicality comes in. sumhow it doesnt perhaps bother me as much as it ought to.. which is sad..

am i overpractical? its not as though i dont like it.. which is a bit part of the problem. practicality gets me through things. why should i turn against this attribute? haiz.. i dont want to lose what i had. but whether i can hold on, or even if i should, now begins to be a doubt.

theres a great turning point in my course of life. a can sense it. the change is imminent. inevitable too. they say embrace change. but what if its change for the worse. i believe in myself enough to trust its not a change for the better. hmm.. i oughtnt.

realise it now. believe in myself? not a good idea.

so embrace it? i guess... avoid the past? or accept it?

argh.. so confused. n i think well im better off forgetting it. ya.. neither avoid nor accept. bleh..

now watching lotr... nthg to do now ba.. pple whu usually r online n i talk to r not here. some in philippines. no names mentioned. hahaha.. bleh whatever..

i think i'd better get a decent rest. then i'll forget these problems. things forgotten do not hurt. haha.. ya.. guess tts my policy..

ok rest time.. over and out.

hihoz..

i hv needed one whole day to recharge my batteries after the chalet. spent much of yesterday asleep.

how is it that so many pple jus suddenly can get so depressed all of a sudden.. i donno.. i mean.. pple who normaly seem so cheerful and happy.

anyway.. some wonder why liverpool played with a lack of dire ambition last night. i'll tell them now. its not bcos we lack consistency. its bcos we were playing with foresight that there is an ABSOLUTELY vital champions league encounter at anfield coming up very soon. okie? okay.

blah.. now that that's over and said with.. what else was there to say.

oh ya..

i think monday im going out to bishan wid wz and jen.. well fun to see jen after goodness knows how many mths.. but too bad she not bringing her cute little sister.. pllleeeez if u read this, bring her?
haha..

bah boring la.. come back at night. buaiz..

okieeee.. im back from 4/1 chalet now.. ya.. so how was it so far?

listen on...

ok day ONE:
arrived at chalet early cos we had to get stuff for the bbq la.. i brought loads of stuff in my badminton bag. Note to self: do NOT bring a badminton bag to a chalet again. bring a backpack. its much more convenient. So that was that. didnt bring risk in the end... too much of a risk if no one played and anw there was no space in my bag nor strength in my hands to haul that massive excuse for a board game to one of the most godforsaken (not to mention man-forsaken too) places on this meagre island.

Wat are the most likely things one would find in a 4/1 chalet? mahjong playing pples (of both races and all genders - 3 genders and two races btw)? Bridge freaks? what not.

idol freaks were what it was filled with the first night. a band of two musketeers (graceful chunmin) cheered everytime sylvester got on stage. a single voice (shrieking one at that too) screamed when taufik took to stage, and soon was joined by two latecomers, all acknowledging the fact that sly probably would do better as taiwanese idol.

by now u probably noe whu i was subtly rooting for. subtly so as not to incur the full wrath of the lovely miss wang =). no offence k? haha.. but honestly, i think well, sly didnt sing a song he was suited for. perhaps not until he sang that chinese song la.. whatever it was. so i voted thrice for taufik.

and thus, jus as our first president was malay. our first idol is too. no comment.

not much competition on the finals day though, so well... ya. duh..

so ended the idol fever blazing thru our nation. and our chalet for that fact. though we could hear taufik and sly chants from neigbouring chalets. and of course, disgruntled sly fans refusing to talk to me anymore =). play bridge for summore till 4 am tt day. hmm...

its getting reli late now. day two once dawn breaks. adieu~!

bleh.. so morning has broken and i return to continue my tale.

day TWO:
Lets assume that a day begins at 4.oo am. otherwise it would be weird as a day supposedly begins at 12.00 midnite, but theres no significant detail to border between day one and day two at 12.00 midnite. hmmm understood that? if not, nvm. neither do i.

SO at 4 am we went for a short walk. perhaps to changi village, or perhaps to changi airport. both are near, so we believe. we walk on.

we reach a main road. xilin ave. left towards changi airport. right, changi village. which one? we consider, and reach a decision. by general consensus we travel towards changi airport. all our purposes seem fullfilled by going there. Nice chics for gobi, makan place for some of us, peeing place for others, and watering hole for even others. perfect place. we move on...

shariza continues to take pictures. weird ones.

oh no. the road is blocked. gobi says we could get caught by police, leading to parents being informed, which of course means 'DIE!'. or of course we could get flattened by one of the many speeding monster trucks plying their trade along that lonely road which also means 'DIE!!'. onli literally this time.

so we turn back. but not towards chalet. its too early, and we're still hungry. wait! there's still changi village. perfect to go for breakfast at a kopitiam at changi village right? brilliant. jus walk on. time check. 5.oo am. we hv been walking for one hour? preposterous, i say. but true. nvr mind. keep walking. we sing while we walk. well. croak maybe. well ruixia is the onli one whu can sing. so ya.. nvm.. we jus walk.

oh no. (again) hey little doggie... BARK! WOOF! GROWL!, it replies. we hv met a dog-end to our adventure. good doggie.
we back off.. slowly. the doggie still on the otherside of the road. but its free. we back off some more. remain calm, i say. i tell shariza not to scream. cos she tends to do that.

okie.. we trudge back towards the chalet. a premature conclusion to our morning escapade. time check: 6am. serious? well i guess not that premature then. 2 hour walk. with purpose, without produce.

we sleep as soon as we get back to the chalet.

i awake uncomfortably. time check: 8.15. i hv slept for about 1 hr 30 min. everyone else is still in slumberland. i brush teeth. i exit the bathroom, and then see pple awakening. today person whu slept the shortest is myself. 1.5 hours. longest: irvin. way over 8 hours, on his own personal bed. respect..

we go out for lunch. at bedok. shawiza's home town.

lunch food: nasi ayam. i.e. chicken rice. bah.. i think wat man...

so we go back to tanah merah to take shuttle bus.
hey.. wait.. the bus is leaving without us. he didnt even bother to look at us. stoopid fella man.. bah.. okie.. we hv to resort to taxi. 6 pple. on the way home!

we play pool/ bowling. damn fun.

3.15 shariza leaves, not alone though. sherlene leaves too..

now we watch incredibles. goodness noes wat gobi n irvin are up to. but i think this chalet lacks those outdoor kinda guys. like jasper and kunrong. yaddayaddayadda. so they're bored stiff.
i m more indoor kind. so i watch incredibles.

then after it ends we go out. all of us. but in the end we split up. gobi and irvin want to go to changi airport and do fun things. the rest more indoor kind, as i said before. but i join gobi and irvin. partly bcos its sad to go two pple.. partly bcos i want to see the haunted passageway, but mainly cos i want to go out hv a little plain stupid fun. haha..

we go changi airport, hv burger king dinner at the viewing mall. and then we go randomly waving at pple leaving singapore. its fun seeing those pple's faces u noe.. but the problem. no chics have turned up yet. so well, u can guess gobi's appetite has not been fed, though his stomach is full. but im tired. i hv to go home. so we take taxi back. but its still early.

i stay awake a bit. but my mind is reali tired now. i go to the girls room, where there was a contest of possesion for the bed. i jus settle for the blanket. and lie on the floor.

day THREE.

As i awake, i see onli three figures in the bed. the three girls - graysie chunmin n yanchun. bleh.. i go downstairs. n see the rest of the guys. all sound asleep.

again. nthg to do. so i jus brush teeth n pack my bags.

come ten thirty the guy comes to lock up the chalet. and we leave the chalet.

eleven thirty, and we're on the bus bound for tanah merah. and then a simple mrt train ride sends us all home.

so concludes our wonderful adventure. now for the next chalet upcoming. haha..

adieu~!
