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~!
