hello! was going to blog last night but blogspot gave me problems, so here i am today! just came back from a chalet, longest i ever went without sleep. haa! wonders if the ability to go without sleep was due to my insomnia or those camps i always have. or maybe both. hmmm...

anyway, kendo chalet was alright. the chalet where i spent the most time playing cards (and no sleep)! woke up really early on monday morning (slept at 3am, woke up at 7.30am) thinking it was 8.30am. didn't realise the mistake until erm 15 minutes later? haha~ was supposed to go to sunset way to collect the satays first before heading down to pasir ris to meet some people to go shop for bbq stuff. end up, the satay man called me just before i left the house offering to send the satays over to the chalet direct in the late afternoon. so yay! saved myself a trip, although it meant waking up early for nothing. -_-" anyway, spent my time hunting for the portable radio in the storeroom and lugged it over, only to realise much later that the battry compartment must be spoilt or something cos it didn't work. sigh. waste my effort.

at clementi, bumped into my sec sch junior. he was going to changi, so we accompanied each other on the train and chat all the way! hehe~ singapore is so small.

met michelle, sarah, shunji and jesse at white sands mall at 11.30am. went to NTUC, girls shop for food, guys shop for utensils, finished really early, spent our time playing cards (and so it begins...) outside mac. had lunch, siew and mun wei came, took cab, check-in, cleaned up the chalet and packed the food and settle down. jeremy, zhen yuan, estee and ting soon arrived with the bulk of the food. then they split into two groups, one played mahjong, the other played cards. -_-" seriously, chalet play mahjong and cards???? eep! me, siew, mun wei and shunji went cycling. bwahaha! i didn't travel to the other end of singapore for nothing! after 2 hours plus, went to buy ice from cheers, came back, bbq time! 16 people in total! ack! photo time!

after which, spent time playing cards with yongkai, jeremy, zhenyuan and later shunji all the way till the morning. then went to mac for breakfast with sarah tagging along, came back, played some more cards, cleaned up the place, check-out, bid adieu and went to aloha loyang chalet.

aloha loyang, the peeps from my og were still sleeping like pigs. there wasn't any room on the bed, so i took out my hammock (great foresight! bwahaha~) and used it as a sleeping bag and rested on the floor. didnt sleep cos it was darn cold. used the bed after caroline got up, slept for a grand total of 30mins. haha. spent most of the time drifting and mumbling to the others.

woke up, more cards, lunch. faith's mum cooked!!! it was laksa!!! yummies! we also learnt the art of eating huge animal jellies. we had a running commentary on it, freaking mel out in the end so much that she had a hard time eating her erm rabbit ear i think. haha~ waited for alex to finish up his vegetarian bee hoon and for christopher, oliver and guo ann to arrive before going cycling. cliff went home cos he didnt know how to cycle. wahaha!

cycled for an hour, it was so fun! played around at the main pasir ris park playground, relieving those childhood days. then cycled around in the maze. more photo-taking! it all ended at about 5.30pm, then it was a leisurely walk back to aloha. played in the arcade till 6.30pm, went back to the bungalow chalet, packed and left. homebound!!!

will post the og chalet pics in a seperate post.
