Fresh from class chalet. Just partially paid off my debts to the master of sleep. Got to serve him again later. So today I am going to write a super long post. Well what do you expect? It is a combination from 3 days. So without further ado, let us begin.

================================

Day 1

Went out in the morning to buy food and equipment for the BBQ. Supposed to meet at 9.30am at school but after some dilly-dallying around, I realised that I was going to be late. So I flew through the blocks to the bus stop and hopped onto the first bus to school. In the end I was quite on time, but not Fred and LY. So then, why did I run so much for? Haha.

When all of us finally arrived, we headed to Yvonne Ngs neighbourhood. Okay there was her, Jianxin, Terence, LY and Fred. We threw down our bags at her place first then we went sHoPPing at NTUC. Was quite fun lah. Being the super efficient, I and Terence went to pick up the equipment first. Then went to join the rest to finish up. Soon realised we were short of funds lah. Conclusion was to collect more funds. Well I hope that everybody understands lah. It is to make everyone satisfied, and to offset the lecture notes.

So the shopping got done. But in actual fact we overbought some stuff. Like we bought TWO grills when it was actually provide. Didn know that the pits at the chalet has to be rented. Cause if it is fixed then it wouldn come with grills for sure. So about $5 wasted there. And we bought too little drinks. It was finished even before the BBQ.

Oh well. After that, I and Terence went to get our bikes while the rest went to Queensway. I think they detoured to the airport to meet Andrew instead. Hahas didn manage to see him off =[ I heard he treated them sakae!! But thats besides the point. It was just about to stop raining when I set off from my house with my bike. Poor Terence got a share of the rain. And his bike has no brakes. Yes! You did not see wrongly. NO BRAKES. Dangerous lah.

Next went to meet Jungang at the park connector bridge. We risked being fined $ 000 and cycled across it. Haha. I realised I overestimated the time needed lah. I gave 1 hour for each way. But we reached there super early like about 2pm. Could only check in at 2.30 and Weiqiang was still at Bedok. Oh wow. Decided to cycle around the park abit.

Met Eddie somewhere along. Ended up cycling around the carpark to the Costa Sand Pasir Ris chalet like some biker gang. Eddie can ride without hands. I still cannot! Ahh! And I cant do a wheelie either. After a very long time, Weiqiang Yonghuang and the Ngee Onions finally came. Very funny. They tried checking in at the Downtown East side. Haha. Anyway we finally got the chalet. P-06. Place of belonging for 3 days 2 nights.

I can say that the chalet was disappointing lah. Firstly, I expected it to have 2 rooms cause that was what I heard. But no. Secondly, it is smaller than even the East Coast one. But oh well. Was a very slow start to the chalet. Started playing cards downstairs first while the rest took the room. Then after a while we got hot. So we chased them down. Haha. Quite bad lah. We ended up going crazy inside lah. 4 guys in a room. Hmm. I leave the rest to your imagination. XD

Went to fetch Nicks bike for him. It was at his church. So tompanged on Jungangs bike. Was fun lah. Very exciting to tompang. Though I tried worse. Last year going down hills at Tanah Merah. LoL. Nicks bike is super nice to ride. Super smooth and everything looked so power pack. So that brings the total bike count to 5.

Sianzified. That is what the next few hours were. The people were taking forever to come. Most of them went to meet up with the Queensway group. Cant remember much except for mahjong, chicken rice and cards. Sian sian sian.

Oh ya. Went to take Sheldons bike somewhere in the middle. So another opportunity to ride. Hongzhi rented a bike overnight. Not before I and Eddie hid in the cupboard trying to scare them. I think we suceeded. Haha. so now we have 7 bikes.

Things finally starting getting better when everyone came at around 9 i think. At least all were here. Actually maybe not. Things started looking up when they decided to ride out to eat lah. It became a totally unexpected night cycling outing.

Me, Terence, Jungang, Hongzhi, Shuting, Yvonne Low, Huiling and Lixian. 8 people on 7 bikes. Shuting tompanged on Jungangs bike. Pei fu her lor. Can stand all the way. We like went to Simpang Bedok. Lol. Back to the story. If I were to go to Simpang Bedok and back, give me about 3 hours the most. But because of the slow pace we were adopting that night, we took about 5 hours out.

Left at 11 plus. And cycled through the park connector. Half way got call from Haoyi. So we went to meet him at Tampines MRT. Good to have him around lah. Cause he is experienced at night cycling. And it is abit worrying to have so many girls, people tompanging and brakeless bikes to be honest.

The way there was okay. Except for Shuting getting tired. But she tahan all the way anyway. Kudos to her. I think Haoyi was getting some pedal problems also. Ate prata at the Simpang Bedok there. Think Huiling was right in a way lah. Although the prata wasn as bad as she descibed it, it wasn exactly worth going so far. But everything was fine for me. Till when we about to leave. Cramps. Die. Too much cycling for one day. Funny lah. Terence and Haoyi tried to help me lah. Make me lie down on the floor. Which I though was funny lah. But not much use. The more they tried the more tense I got. In the end just walked around abit then can already. Luckily.

The way back was more eventful. More problems actually. Lol. Okay firstly, we decided to buy back for the guys at chalet at a nearer place so that the food will be fresher. Went to street 11 but it was closed! In the end went to 201 there to buy. Oh ya. They sold Nicks order of prata bomb. Lol. We were wondering what it was since he ordered. Lots of speculation. Haha. Actually it is just some sugar thing inside i think. Terence had a horrible cut on his toe. But he refused to put plaster lah. Oh ya that joker was riding barefoot. And yes his bikes has no brakes just to remind you. Actually, I was riding in slippers also. Which was dumb. I brought my shoes to cycle. But on my longest journey I wear slippers? Lol.

Jungangs bike gave up on him. I guess he hit something. And funny noises came. He dropped the bike at his grandmas house. And we had 9 people on 7 bikes now. Luckily Haoyi was there once again. So we managed to get back. Got a relapse of muscle cramp on the way back. Go and chiong up the fine $ 000 overhead bridge lah. Lol. Had to walk for quite a bit.

Anyway, after a 5 hour long expedition, we finally got back. Night cycling rocks. Love the empty roads and the coolness of the night. Although abit scary and dangerous. The Muthus curry I was carrying was well mixed by the time i got back. Haha. Haoyis pedal finally fell off but it was lucky it was in the chalet. And he managed to get it fixed.

Anyway, a BIG thank you to HAOYI. We couldn have done without you.

Lepaked about when we got back. Tried to sleep but couldn. Was itchy and sticky. So after about 1 hour of closing eyes, I went back down to lepak.

Okay I guess thats the end of day 1. Although actually night cycling should be day 2. After 12 le mah. But never mind. My days are calculalated by when I sleep. Haha.

===============================
Day 2
It was a beautiful morning. Guitar music in the air. Jianxin was teaching the guitar again. just sat into listen and pick up whatever I could as well. The air outside was great. Mosquitoes were pesky though, drinking up my type B blood. After that Kenneth taught me some stuff as well. The stuff that Jianxin was teaching him. Well I guess one major fulfilment from this chalet was learning more guitar. Rekindles the passion in me to continue learning the instrument.

Went for a much needed bath before going for breakfast around 10am+. McDonalds $2 breakfast. Wanted to eat the giant omelette sandwich at BK but there was no $2 breakfast for the rest. So with only a memory of the taste from O level times, I had to go to McDs in the end. Its okay. Its just food.

After breakfast, decided to go Katong. Some of us would be karaoke-ing, some lan-ing, some pool-ing. Went back to the chalet to settle some stuff first and some of us needed to take things. Then tried to get everyone out as soon as possible before we lose the incentive to move out. Took 12 there.

The bus journey was long, very long. Some of the s301 people were on the bus as well. Tried to catch up on my sleep. Bad idea. Developed a wierd nausea. Couldn sleep propely either because I was on the outside chair. Just tahan-ed. When the guy beside Jungang stood to leave, quickly decided to move so that I could get the inside chair. Well, cause didn want to leave Hongzhi alone at first. Then now can get Sheldon to sit with him. Ya. But didn get to sleep there either. Anyway that was about Siglap already, so a while to go only.

When we reached, decided to go singing with the majority. Was quite fun lah. The girls sing well. Lea Yee can reach super high. Hahas. All of us sang together. Quite cool. Dont know why, everytime come karaoke always feel that my jaw and neck will have no blood. Maybe it is like what nick said, not used to projecting. Hahas. Was better after the toilet break. Yeah thats the way, more toilet breaks in future. But some of the guys should be more daring lah, sing like shit also just sing. Like me. Haha! Like Terence never sing on the mike at all, and Jianxin like 1 song. All zi ji ren dont really need shy mah. Hahas.

Okay after 3 hours we left to prepare for BBQ. It was $20 per room for 3 hours. Super cheap right? Down with K-Box. Haha. Okay as I was saying, Nick, Gang, Terence, Huiling, Shuting, Low and Lixian went to Ngs house to pick up the beehoon. Oh ya, xiaobao left halfway through karaoke to settle some of her own stuff. Some of the rest went to pick up satay while the rest went back to start the fire and all that. We took another long bus 43. Finally managed to catch some sleep. Or at least it seemed like it. Was refreshed from the sleep lah. But I felt abit bad cause can see Jungang couldn sleep. He got the outside chair. Haha. The satay guys seemed to have run into some trouble. The satay stall closed withough waiting for them. Luckily it got settled. Anyway, we missed our stop and went all the way to punggol. Had to walk back to Sengkang. They walk damm slow lah although we were already behind time. So we started some hurrying techniques and in the end had people running after me. Lol. Just wanted them to walk faster, not run!

To speed things up, went with Terence to pick up the beehoon and stuff from ngs house while the rest went to find a cake at rivervale mall. Being super efficient again, I and Terence finished our job very quickly and joined the rest at the mall. But there was no more birds!no cake we wanted. So we started worrying about nothing lah. Tried calling the satay gang to see if they could get and all that. But in the end we went to white sands and everything was solved. So many cakes there. Got one form Bengawan Solo. And yes they sell normal cakes there lah, not just kueh and chiffon cakes. Haha. Luckily yvonne persisted on going down, if what we would buy some stupid cake. My bad. Haha.

So we finally got back to the chalet. Kenneth and Frederick had done a fine job with the fire starting. Was just waiting for the margarine. And so the BBQ started. The satay people came in later.

Actually I think the BBQ was a failure. People were more interested in the PS2. Sathya wasn coming. Ate abit only lah. Dont usually eat during BBQs. Very ma fan also. So after a while, volunteered to buy drinks. Huiling was super enthusiastic about cycling after yesterday so she came along with Terence. Stupid. First fall of the chalet. I rode through the dirt and got my wheels wet. And when I got to the interchange part. Tried to pick up and straight away skidded and fell. Cuts on my left leg to testify. Oh well. At least my bike was okay, though I got paranoid about it for a while.

Bought 8 drinks and went back. Ate abit more. Lets see. I guess what I ate was just 1 plate beehoon, 3 sticks satay, 1 crabstick, 1 chicken wing, and lots of drink. But BBQ is not about eating lah. It is about sitting together and having fun. Which is why I felt the guys should all be outside instead of PS2-ing. Oh well.

The cake was next. It was shared for 3 months of babies. Quite bad lah. But I guess 2 cakes now is a bad idea as well. Maybe we celebrate again for December babes in January? I dont know. Hahas. Was finally starting to be fun. Massive photo taking. In our new class jerseys. Woohoo. Pictures in another post lah ah. Im still getting them from low at the moment. 98 pictures. Massive!

After that, it was parting company for many of us. Many of us were going home. The chalet was much quieter after that. But in a way good as well. I guess many of us were tired already. Most of us left decided to go for our walk. Armed with a guitar, mp3 player, speakers and water, we set off. The plan was to go to the spider web and childrens playground, as well as maybe to the beach. So we began to walk. Maybe it was exhaustion, or just the night, but it was frightening lah. I kept seeing wierd stuff like mistaking the signboard as a guy on a bicycle. So in the end I decided not to look around. Kenneth was super lame lah. Saw a snail and linked it to stars. Yeah sure. Stars drop down from the sky and crawl to the roadside as snails. But the stars were beautiful that night. Haven seen them in a while. Kenneth was also telling some stories about the garden maze. Go in and get lost in it until sunrise, that is if you can see the sunrise again. Muahaha.

Anyway, we didn reach anywhere in the end. Lightning flashes came. More and more frequently. In the end we decided to turn back lah. Frightening way back again. Haha. I guess I am quite timid as well.

Played abit of PS2. Finally got to play hahas. Was playing Gran Turismo 4. Guess what? Iris is pro lah. Owning Jianxin and me and Kenneth. Wahaha. Okay lah. But I admit she is good for a girl. Haha.

BBQ round 2. We had alot of left overs lah so we planned to do so after walking. It seemed like our plan was doused for a while as we had no lighter or matches. But luckily managed to borrow a lighter soon. And so we began cooking again. It is more shiok this time lah. Very private and quiet. Just a few of us. Iris, Gang, Kenneth, Terence, Yvonne Ng, Shuting and some others came and went. The rest were sleeping or PS2-ing.

Satay was mostly eaten by Yvonne hahas. She claimed to have eaten 20 sticks. Alot for her size hahas. Then it was chicken wings. The chicken wing expert 2 Shuting went to do as the chicken wing expert 1 didn want to or somehing. And she ended up jumping around cause of cockroaches lah. And yes chaotah chicken wings. Haha. Jungang crazy. He ate lots of the wings, in fact all that was cooked I think. I finished up the last packet of crab sticks. Then we decided not to cook anymore. Just slacked around. Played somemore guitar. And finally everybody couldn take it anymore.

Went to bathe before sleeping. And when I came out, everyone was out except for nick and Fred on the PS and Terence who was waiting for me. So after that we went to sleep lah. Terence had moved the guys onto 1 bed and the girls could take the other. So I and him took the floor. Was quite shoik lah the position. Too bad the floor got too cold. And somehow we spontaeneously got up. And we moved out to the stairs. We were all so sleepy lah so anyhow sleep. Had a bad position there. But could sleep still. See what lack of sleep does. Haha. After a while we shifted around such that our feet faced the stairs and it was much better. Though I was afraid someone would open the door and kill me. But no such matter. Managed to agar agar make it to the morning.

================================

Day 3
When the girls finally woke up. Then we chionged the bed for about 1 hour or so. Super shoik. Today was checking out day. But the guys were still bathing and washing up and stuff. So had some time. And i didn have much to pack anyway. Except for that missing handphone pouch to find.

Everything went smoothly. Everyone was packed and ready on time. Cleaned up the final mess. Then we sat around to play ji ku pak. Was quite fun hahas. Xiaobao always change to both ku. Bangbang always lag. And Jianxin always doing something else when I attack him, and so always never kill any. >.< Hahax. Then it was time to leave.

Brought all the bags down and checked the whole place. Haha. A good practice I inherited from my parents I guess. They always do stuff like that. My handphone pouch was under the bed. And with that, we bade farewell to our place where memories will forever remain, P-06, Costa Sands Pasir Ris.

It began to rain as we left. Actually thought of going somewhere nice to eat to finish up the chalet but abit lazy with all the bikes and we probably wont come out again if we went home to drop our stuff off. In the end settled for the food court in downtown east. Was quite idiotic lah. The root beer overflowed due to the shaking while I was cycling and Terence got triggered and kept laughing at Jungang. Do all sort of lame stuff lah. Gang go wash the meat in the soup till it become like curry. Low came to get her shoes so she joined us as well.

Sat there for damm long. About 2 hours I think. We got news of our orientation group allocation. Yay. I am with like 2 of my class people Xiaobao and BangBang. Orientation looks like it is going to be real fun. But poor Terence got stuck with totally random people. Most of us get at least one other of us lah. Jungang and Low in Callisto 3. LeaYee and Lixian In Callisto 2. Oh ya I am in Callisto 1. Realised it halfway, all the people who were eating together were OGLs of Callisto. No wonder we are OGLs, hahas. Sat there and talked forever lah, about life, random stuff. What our class loves.

After a long while, we finally decided to break camp. It was with much unwillingness lah. I guess none of us want to stop this chalet. It has been wondeful. Cycled home with Nicholas and we stopped outside and talked for quite a while also. About the chalet and stuff. He is a Callisto OGL now! Yayness. Could remember his enthusiasm from Orientation 2 and know that he will be a great OGL.

After that went home, tired, but very fulfilled.

==============================

The chalet. It was good I guess. But a bit disappointing as well. I guess we didn prepare well enough and we tried accomplishing too much. Such as getting the class jerseys and stuff. So we ended up spending much time moving around and not togther. But the beautiful memories always overwrite all this. After all, I guess it is worth waiting the whole day just for an hour with good friends.

The night cycling. The 2nd BBQ. The guitar playing. The photo taking. Forever I will keep this memories.

06S202 rocks forever and forever. Love them all. Rock on guys.

OGL camp coming soon. It is like second class chalet hahas. 15 guys from my class are OGLs and councillors. Gonna be super duper I hope.

Till then.
