Strumming away my thoughts

Thursday, December 15, 2005

am back from my 2nd and final chalet for '05. supposed to pop by the 3/4euphoria chalet. but was too tired to go to pa to pop by. very sorry euphorians~ =X anyway, was back at aloha loyang (again!) for 04S18 chalet. this chalet kinda brought back memories for me...different memories @ different pts of the chalet. kinda weird.

aloha loyang. it's not the 1st time i've been there...it's like the 4th time already. but it's the 1st time i checked in into chalet. hehez. me and xx were the first ones to reach...coz xx had to check in. reached pasir ris @ 3pm. we had to buy bread, eggs, check satay price and rush for the 315pm shuttle. with our pro-ness, we were in time for the shuttle. =D
checked in. garden terrace C. didn't think it was very small till the rest said tt it was very small. i'm fine with the size...maybe because i stayed before with 2eians ba.

anyway, the whole chalet, played a lot of bridge. fun~. we had the intermediate/expert players playing on the upper bunk of the beds and the beginner/intermediate players playing on the lower bunk. am still quite bad on the game actually. gEez. haha. sumhow i think bridge is invading chalets sia. more and more ppl are picking it up. haha. cOol~.

the best part of the chalet....i think was the nite cycling. 3 years since i last nite cycled. and tt was my 1st and only nite cycling experience...which lasted for 2hrs only wif sjab seniors. tt was the reason/motivation factor why i learnt how to cycle. haha. so tt i cld go nite cycling wif my seniors and not stuck in the chalet wif my other seniors. hehez. i still remember how pro i was. i only took 1 hr to learn and didn't fall in the midst of learning. i still rmb jinyong say i was lihai. haha. after he said tt, i fell into a little drain. =X

anyway, the nite cycling adventure. super coOl~. it lasted more than 2 hours~. haha. we "warmed up" in pasir ris park and then we cycled to changi village to see bapoks. hehez. super fun!!~ we followed the bus route of no.2 and it rained in the midst of our cycling adventure. still, we arrived destination changi village. there were quite a few bapoks...quite pretty, but too bad lah...they are bapoks. =X. enjoyed the sea breeze and we went to coffee shop to makan. sum ate while we watched one weird and quite stupid chinese movie. before we head back to aloha, rq briefed us. haha. he made it sound like very tedious to go back, like there are alot of upslopes. i think it was quite alright...there's only 1 and long upslope. got distracted a few times by the stars and the moon. the nite sky was simply beautiful. =D guess wat! a few of them saw shooting stars!! gRrrR...am not so lucky compared to sec2 le. =X
was cycling in front...so didn't know wat happened at the back till the rest got back. apparently, yinmei fell and had a few abrasion wounds. lucky it wasn't very serious. but it showed wat a lousy medic me was...nxt time i will rmb to bring antiseptic cream and plasters just in case. =X
chechang is a reckless cyclist. he claimed tt he balance better cycling fast...keep ringing his bell..noisy and reckless! lol.

me din sleep for the 1st nite..for fear of missing TARFE season finale. so stayed up all nite playing bridge...got a bit crazy due to the lack of zzz. haha. in the morn, we returned our bikes and walked back to our chalet to catch the season finale of TARFE. went to bathe after watching, then watched batman on kids central before heading for a half an hour nap. was awake juz b4 boonhwee ran into the room and shouted "zhao huo le!!" it appears tt the peeps outside were playing "truth or dare". -.-'''

helped to poke the chicken wings with satay sticks...hehez. i like poking the chicken wings..coz they make my hands smell nice wif the marinate. haha! =D had bbq and we celebrated the december babies' birthdays with a log cake. hehez. my 1st log cake. =D exchanged pressies...quite funny. i got dingy's pressie...which i helped to choose! haha...i should have gotten a more expensive gift! lol. den waii and nick was running ard the chalet spraying water with waii's rubber duckies which nick bought. kids these days. tsk tsk. lol.

most of the guys left after the bbq. only kel stayed behind. quite nice of him to stay lah. at least there was a bit yang qi in the chalet. haha...we played heart attack, den murderer den bluff. had a 2nd bbq at 2++am. wanted to eat corn. but gEez. it was nearing 3am when the corns were cooked. sObz.supposedly wenjie, connie and kel wanted to go to pasir ris park to enjoy the food. haha. i was fine wif it coz i want to try my luck wif the shooting stars. but in the end, nv. =X nvm. we went to zzz at 3+++am. we, 3 girls, slept on beds while kel slept on the floor. it's better than askin him to sleep in the living rm yar! hehez.

woke up at 9am when we said to wake up at 8am. oh well. had breakfast, packed, played murderer and took the 1155 shuttle. played murderer on the mrt train. i love being the gamemaster. hahaha. =DD

had quite a few memory flashbacks while in the chalet.
memories wif 2elit3 in aloha loyang, memories wif sjab for nite cycling, memories wif S15 playing murderer...fond memories.....=D
