Yeah man. The chalet is now over, but the memories from the chalet will always be imprinted in my heart. you may think it sounds corny, or what, but, yeahs, i had fun. I've got so many things on the chalet to blog about, but i dont know how to begin. Lets just begin with, initially, i didnt feel like going. But i went in the end. Overall, it wasnt like normal class chalets because normal class chalets, everybody interacts, and hardly will there ever be liquor because nobody's of age to purchase them. So, this chalet, was filled with, some moments of loneliness, as the J2s mingle among themselves, leaving the J1s kinda lost, and most of the time, they included us in games and whatnot, and sharing of vodka. Vodka with Sprite is nice, haha, tong pei said i was addicted to it, but i wasnt! I just like the, hmm, grapey taste! and i dont even know why there'd be a grapey taste since i didnt add any grapes, okay, nevermind, im talking nonsense!
Im a highly, how do you call that? sort of like, you know, sudden kinda person, do and say things because i wanna say it, probably random. and yeah, HIGHLY NONSENSICAL. Bleahs =X
03-06-08 \ first day Gavin and i met really early at Toa Payoh Interchange to collect the tees. The day started off with disappointed as jiayen, gavin and i trudged sadly to the tee shoppe. those who didnt pay for the shirt were supposed to meet us at TPY too, but most of them couldnt be bothered to turn up, and some had lessons. So, we forked out the rest with our own money, a total of 180 bucks to fork out! fortunately, Big ben was there, and he saved us with his ATM card. the tee design, i dont know what to say about it, i guess, you can say its alright. and i found out, in the whole pugilistic, the only person with a size s tee is me! embarrassing man. Afterwhich, we MRT-ed down to Pasir ris to meet ellene, teasing jiayen about her scandal with her and small ben. I was walking, kinda moody, when suddenly, Gavin and Jiayen shouted " Yincheong!" I thought they were like, you know, teasing me about him and me, and i continued walking, until Jiayen pulled me and pointed to this really lanky guy walking towards us.
Carrying this huge longitudinal cardboard box, that contained the sword that must be passed down to ellene, since she's the QM.
I was, uhh, stunned, and i continued walking. I dont even know why! I mean, they stopped to chat with him and all, and i just dont know what happened, but my legs automatically pulled me away from them. So, i just continued walking, leaving them behind, until Jiayen and Gavin suddenly started running, and i was like, what the hell? and i realised, they're running just so they could give us some time together. It was super retarded because they ran to the wrong escalator, and we went up, and realised we couldnt find the NTUC, called ellene, and was enlightened by the fact that the NTUC was downstairs, not up. Thus, we went down again. omg, this is not even the beginning of the chalet and i've already typed like one whole long grandmother story. nevermind, felt like really posting a long post, so i shall just type. we reached downtown East, and we waited for a very long time before we were checked into the room. In case you're wondering, no, the chalet's not those double storey-ed kind. It's just a room with , i think 4 beds? anyway, i was like looking at the room, and my brain was like, telling me to laugh because i just couldnt imagine how so many people can be packed into this one small room. At this point in time, there were only me, gavin, Jiayen, ellene, kee yong, terrypuppy, yincheong, joel, and i think shortly after that , KK joined in. We played some card games, and i learnt a new game! It's called idiot, or something like that. It's quite funny, and gavin was given the position of the ultimate idiot. I felt so sleepy then, actually, throughout the entire chalet, i was feeling like a really tired potato, probably because i still havent recovered from my cold, and sorethroat. but, nonetheless, i still had fun. Next came the BBQ session. I think, its like any other BBQ, except, we've got a free box of damp fire starters because some peeps left it there. ellene's mom had been terrific! She helped us to marinate the chicken wings, and she even brought down the foods personally! thanks so much! I didnt eat anything except for the cocktail, man, i didnt want my throat to worsen, barbequed stuffs are kinda bad for the throat in case you havent realise. there was also a handing down session, whereby swords or whatnot were handed down to the next batch of EXCO members. I wasnt in the EXCO thingy, but i was given Jieyang! ha ha.While cleaning up the pit, Edmund called, and ellene went to meet him. I helped Jiayen with cleaning up then went to meet him too.
Horrors of all horrors, he was smoking. i was like, wtf!?! I hope, he didnt pick up smoking under peer influences. anyways, the other J2s all, they went bowling, so, jiayen, small ben, edmund and i went to the beach and walked, chatted, listened to songs, and counted down to Ed's birthday. I was feeling so drowsy and moody, because i felt so much like sleeping! but it's only around 1 at that time so i didnt sleep. Heard that the J2s didnt bowl, was too expensive? Went back to the chalet, and oh, really gotta say this, small ben's really funny. He's always so quiet during training, didnt think he'd like, have those kinda sarcasm and wit thingy. and god, he's also lame! He told me he's a vegetarian when i saw him chewing on a hotdog, lol. We sat on the benches outside the room, and jiayen tried to mug for maths. I was chatting with small ben about Jay Chou songs, and after sometime, Jiayen gave up, and we played cards again, joined by chek keng and jieyang. jieyang kept teasing me about "white slippers" , and my face was like so red! fortunately, there wasnt much light around so nobody noticed! Around 345, we went back into the room, and i was so tired i curled up in a corner on the bed and slept, even though the noises were, terrible. I hid behind you and slept, haha, while they played card games. and the guys, were like, so hooked onto PSP fifa08. I kept sleeping and waking up, so much that i became frustrated and decided not to sleep. It was 5 plus, i took a bath, and sat on the bed. It was so cold, but there wasnt any more blankets, and you kept telling me its cold. I dont know if you're muttering in your sleep or what, but since there're no more blankets, i covered you with my pitiful cardigan. chatted with small ben till around 9 plus when everybody started waking up.
04-06-08 \ second day Big terence and some other guys went to play pool, weimin and tong pei couldnt get up! they were sleeping so soundly! And all i heard from weimin while i was waiting for ellene to finish her bath was, " can give me yincheong's hairspray?" I was like, uh ok. I didnt know where it was! i was being really lucky, because i just unzipped the side pocket of the duffel bag, and the hairspray toppled onto my lap. ha ha. Went with Jiayen and ellene to meet the guys at the pool area, and jiayen forgot to bring her IC! so, she couldnt enter! ellene and i were able to go in, but we didnt, we accompanied Jiayen back to the chalet. And the greatest thing? WOOHOO. All 3 of us slept all the way from that time till 1 plus, until the guys came back. After that, jiayen went to the theme park with small ben, and i went home, because i had to rush for my interview with my previous tuition organisation. I did well for english O's and was entitled to a 200 bucks book voucher, i think, wasnt interested, but mom wanted me to go, so i went. the interview was really crappy i went late, and luckily, they didnt notice that i was late.
they asked me one really funny question, to which i answered horribly. the question was ," What do you like about yourself?" And i said ," everything, i simply love who i am." Thats that! Ha ha, eileen, you're so naive.
after the interview, i MRT-ed back to pasir ris, and met up with gavin. We bus-ed down to the chalet, and joined them for dinner. no, we didnt exactly joined them. terrypuppy, yincheong, gavin and i walked with them to the restaurant, and halfway through, 4 of us decided not to eat, and we stood up and went back to the chalet. I was trying my best not to laugh when i turned back to see the once so filled up round table, now being occupied by only 4 or 5 persons. we went back, and i was trying to sleep! wasnt given the chance to, you disturbed me throughout the entire time! ha ha, but it was a nice feeling, to just be beside you (: Weimin, jieyang and wei liang weren't there, they went to their class BBQ, and they came back at around 12. In the meantime, the others were playing pokka cards and mahjong. not exactly a fun night, but well, the walk to the basketball court was fun. Big terence kept joking, and tong pei and i kept walking beside each other, because we dont exactly wanna walk in threesome! Well, i chatted with tong pei about planes, and about the world, those kinda really philosophical talks. And we went watching the planes flying across pasir ris beach as the other guys continued playing basketball. It was fun with him! He's so comical in a really animated sort of way. After the basketball game, which was against a bunch of really lousy players, ( the game itself was quite lame so i didnt watch, and went plane-watching with tong pei ) we walked back to the chalet, with everybody feeling so exhausted!
Those who needed to bathe went for their bath, and while the rest slept, or watched those really old channel 8 dramas with really exaggerated actions. I fell asleep...
was awoken by you! the others were all sleeping, and we went out, walked along the beach and we were supposed to wait for the sunrise! But we fell asleep on the bench, or rather, I fell asleep, because i didnt want you to sleep, lol, the beach looks really creepy in the wee hours of the morning! I woke up at 5 plus, and we staggered back to the chalet. You were like dragging one dead pig, werent you? haha, i couldnt walk man, was so tired! Didnt want to be piggybacked or carried, because you were like so tired already! went back to the chalet, and blanked out immediately. I was feeling kinda sad because we didnt get to catch the sunrise, but its alright, next time then (:
05-06-08 \ last day ):
Partings are always sad, so is leaving the great moments behind. The 3 days 2 nights chalet is over, and its kinda saddening, because what has been so fun is over, and like what tong pei said, its now back to the cold hard, unfeeling reality. Great times passed so fast, we woke up, and yeah, the chalet's over? hmms, everyone took their turns to wash up, and we checked out. they had breakfast at Mac, and truthfully, i didnt eat, because i still didnt feel awakened yet! After the breakfast, we parted ways, we flagged a cab for ellene since she's carrying so much stuffs, and gavin and i bus-ed home.
Had some porridge, and now i finished blogging about the chalet. Wow, really long post! It'll be kinda long before i get to see you again, but well, absence makes the hearts fonder? dont know about that, just know, im happy to be with you(:
goodnight people, im so tired, and im gonna sleep now. Will mug tomorrow i guess, today's just..not the day for mugging.
Reflections about the chalet. Im glad i went, because, it's a really nice group of rowdy people, and there were some really swell times. Awesome, thanks people, for just, being there. There's still some nostalgia from the ending of the chalet, but we all just have to take it in our strides, partings are never easy, and i dont know when the whole pugilistic society will ever meet up again,
nonetheless, i wish all J2 pugilistic members, All the best for their A levels. you all are fantastic people. ha ha.
