4E2'09 CHALET'09...
was great! Although we had a few hiccups here and there and faced opposition from the weather. The weather was really bad yesterday afternoon and I totally got soaked in the rain.
Guess who turned up last at the meeting point at Jurong East MRT Station. Yi Jun! She caused me, Clara and Sharon to have to pay extra $2 for overstay. It wasn't planned that all 3 of us was to kenna overstay okay. Purely coincidence. So in a way, Yi Jun owes us one for being late. Derrick also managed to convince Shaolun and Junyan to join us. Shaolun even tried to hide the fact that he was coming by lying to me and Sharon even though Derrick had already spilt the beans.
When we reach our chalet it had already began to drizzle and not long after that, it began to pour heavily. We could barely leave our room and we had yet to eat lunch, not forgetting we only had 4 umbrellas with us. We had originally thought that perhaps we could call up for McDonalds, KFC or PizzaHut, but we soon abandoned the thought and some of us - Sharon, Yan Jie, Yi Jun, Wan Xuan and Me - went to buy McDonald's back for the rest. Yan Jie, Yi Jun and Wan Xuan had a change in mind and chose to eat at the food court, leaving me and Sharon to bring back the food for the rest from McDonald's. On our way back to the room, we met up with Zhi Ting who was totally drenched from the rain.
So after that, Clara, Kwung Teng went to join Yan Jie and the rest at the Food Court as they didn't want to have McDonald's. After lunch we stayed in the room, hoped and prayed hard that the rain would stop soon. Mr Pu join us soon and after awhile, as it became a drizzle, we began to start work. We got our umbrellas and started to BBQ the food that we had made purchase from the wholesaler.
I enjoyed being in-charge of cooking the food, I kinda found satisfaction from all the work and it was quite an interesting experience as everyone crowded around the place to help out. Sharon was the ButterGirl, Hoe Xian the Margarine Boy, etc. So we had some funny moments even though it was still raining. We cleared all our food in around 2 hours and got back into the room to slack away.
Shortly, when everyone settled down and began to watch tv/movie on DVD, Sharon, Hoe Xian and I were on the move to accomplish our job - to get a cake for Clara and helped Hoe Xian find an appropriate present for Clara's birthday. I managed to sneak back into the room and put the cake in the fridge.
Shortly afterwards, we went down to the E!Hub later at midnight to find some entertainment. We wanted to play billiard/pool, however, as Qinli was not of age yet we could not play as a group and thus abandoned the thought too. We instead went to Zone-X and fooled around. I won both Clara and Sharon in Daytona! Clara almost won me but at the very last moment, I managed to overtake her and won the race. I also managed to understand how to do a drift on Daytona too, which was the main factor to why I could race so fast against Clara. I was quite shock that Clara was actually quite good at it, while Sharon was just trailing behind both of us.
We returned back to our rooms and began to pack some things that we would need and head down to the beach. We celebrated Clara's birthday there and then and it was kinda messy as the grass were muddy and practically all of us had mud on our feet by the time we return back to the room. We could not stay long as the wind was blowing really great and Li Ying had began to show symptoms of catching a cold, and so we returned.
We laze around in the room and watched G.I Joe until around 3am. Some of us decided to turn in for the night while others decided to stay up through the night and I belonged to the latter. Sharon, Hoe Xian, Aloisius, Fiona, Leon and Me stayed up chat. While, they chatted while I just plugged in the ear phones into my ears and listened to music as a mean of keeping myself awake.
The change in the tone of the sky as the sun began to rise was beautiful! Sadly, I didn't bring my camera out from the room and only had my handphone with me. It wasn't able to capture all the beautiful moments and to me that was such a waste.
The 2D1N chalet came to an end and I felt that it was just too short. Oh well, there will have to be another chalet next time. Breakfast at the food court was plain and quick as everyone was too exhausted. Everyone missed their own beds at home and couldn't wait to get back home immediately, which includes myself.
Had to admit, the post is gonna dry and boring... Luckily, there are always photos to make up for it. I shall let the photos do the talking from here on.

That would be all!
