ok...another super - long post abt chalet and stuff!
Woah...It's been a few days since i've posted. Not very good to be so inconsistent, but i do think, despite me acknowledging this, that my entries'll start to get less frequent eventually. Phew, like i'm saying that it's a long post on the title but ironically i hope it'll be as short as possible. Maybe it's because i've been having really long days recently so i haven't had the time to blog or to think of stuff to blog...which i definitely did before exams were over and before all the activities. For example it's 4.30am now, i'm super tired and i'm feeling quite daunted about having to spend the next hour or more writing a blog entry. I'll do my best anyway, 'cos i think this blog'll be incomplete without an entry on the class chalet.. (Note: for you readers out there, i suggest that you don't read the next few paragraphs in detail, 'cos it'll be a real time-waster. I'm writing this less as entertainment for others than as a memoir for me to read when i want to remember those days. So i hope no one complains that "this post is too long!" or "why are you telling us all this??")

Well, about the details of the chalet: It was on the 7th to 9th of December and it was at Aloha Loyang. (we went there last year too) 3 days 2 nights and involved the class of 04S15 - although tianying, Goat and his erm Princess-Leiya made an appearance too. And Ningxi stayed till the end..but hey she IS from 04s15. Pretty fun over all, and our class became more bonded somewhat, which's pretty good because our class did need some "bonding"..=

It's a good thing i brought cereal, plastic containers and ESPECIALLY milk, speakers, mahjong set and mahjong mat to the chalet...along with the drinks i was supposed to bring. It turns out that, for the speakers and milk at least, no one had thought to bring these. Alamak, without speakers how to have good music? And the milk was useful for the pancakes and for simple consumption too. (all four cartons were finished by the end of it!) Mahjong set was essential, i think. In fact i spent most of the 1st day playing mahjong...1st with jonathan, tianying and jaclyn (which i won by over 10+bucks) and post dinner with chinhow, and ian/jonathan/celine/angele/ningxi - they kept changing places and all. That one chinhow won..he kinda won most of the other 4-feng mahjong games the rest of the chalet.

1st day dinner was quite fun...helped out a bit with the food (breaking chicken wings cooking etc) but was kinda sick of barbeques so i let the other hardworking people cook while i sat in the dining room most of the time and ate. =x Ivy and maryann started to stir-fry a lot of stuff in the kitchen too 'cos the barbeque fire was too low and cooking was slow...and the damn oil somehow floated into the air and landed on my mahjong tiles! Sobz man...All in all the food was pretty good. But very messy.

Sadly, Mr Phang was the only teacher who visited us during the barbeque...the others were missing for one reason or another. He had a baby almost right after his wedding last year...my gosh they didn't hold back did they LOL...so his wife had already given birth a few months ago. He brought his little pre-toddler to the chalet; her name's ashley (i think..can't really remember), she looks like a china doll and she's got this really cute and wacky kind of laugh. And she does laugh very often. If u wanna see a photo of her, do contact me! :)

After the barbeque it was another bout of mahjong and some cards before sleep time beckoned. This was around 3+am. By this time quite a few people had left (e.g. tianying goat leiya diana jaclyn weiliang ben mingjoo etc..- ben and goat had to go 'cos they had NS the nxt day btw...poor guys sia. Eugene too.) Which STILL left enough people that there were hardly enough beds for everyone. Half of us had to sleep on something other than beds. Tried to sleep on a few chairs lined up but it hurt my side, so i ended up under the table. Yup, you heard it right. I was like... Under the Table and Dreaming LOL. Felt more like a coffin actually; dust and all. Nasty dreams too. And woke up very often in order to switch position (the floor seemed v v v hard that day..) Ended up sleeping sub-3hrs from 4.30 to 7.30am and woke up feeling very shitty. AND celine still had the nerve to complain about her BED! GOSH. "Argh my bed felt so HARD last night! And the room was like so COLD.." The worst thing was that she was actually SERIOUS about it. Haha!

The 2nd day was a bit more fun, i daresay...After bridge session with clarence, kuangting, chinleng and chinhow (as usual the players came and went) i went to change and it was swimming time! Haha btw i think it's been VERY long since i've really spoke with clarence..like after that incident and all - but for now we're just all like acting as if it never happened so it's not really resolved.

Anyway "swimming time" involved only me and chinhow, and also nick/zhipeng (lol i always call him by both names 'cos ppl call him by both names..personally i call him zhipeng but mostly he calls himself nick...so confusing) and maryann...both of whom had gone swimming earlier with ivy. Fooled around with the water slide and played some water-polo with the other 3. Zp got down to the usual "dirty tricks" like grabbing balls and scratching (lol kidding only but he really did that!) so i countered with the standard RI style of dunking and jabbing below the "belt". In the end the team comprising of me and maryann completely whooped the other side! Well...by two goals. After that it was jacuzzi time haha where we sat in this super cool mini-pool with heated water and lots of bubbling etc. Gossiped and joked around for like an hour or so i think.

After that we went back to the chalet where the rest who decided not to go swimming were just finished with their mahjong/card games. After lunch it was mahjong yet again, this time with chinhow and ian/maryann/celine/ningxi/angele...Quite a few people left at this time, leaving us with maryann, ningxi, chinhow, ian and myself. Ivy came back before dinner and jonathan and yinting returned a bit later. Dinner involved the frying/boiling of, er, maggi mee and leftover chicken/satay/stingray. Tasted ok, but was super high in saturated fat. Urgh. It was very fun though...cooking together as a whole bunch.

Dinner was followed by clean-up time, where we mopped/cleaned/wiped all the floors and tables, etc of the chalet. Rubbish was cleared and litter was picked up. The mahjong set was kept for good as well. :( There was another card game with me,jonathan/chinhow, ian, maryann and myself where we played taitee and bluff. (gosh i miss bluff sia) Then all 8 of us went into the guy's room where we had card tricks and played identity heart-attack, which was a whole lotta fun, with LOTS of screaming and frantic memorisation. After that, 7 of us (yinting had some stuff the next day and had to sleep early) had a gossip/chatting session where we talked about lots of stuff...mostly about relationships and other friends but a lot about teachers and future plans in general. Quite a lot of crazy things being said...like maryann and ivy's 'crush' on eugene and chinhow's er...thing for a certain teacher for example. LOL. Was really a nice get-together, even though it only involved the 8 of us.

It was late by then, so we slept. (this time there were enough beds..) Woke up the next day, packed up and it was time to head home (and nurse those sun-burnt pains). All in all i'd say that the chalet bbq/stay-overs and all that was pretty uneventful but still very fruitful. There wasn't much to do besides mahjong and cards, but i think the class really did get closer to each other. I think that if i had to name the one person i got to know the most, it'd be maryann..what with all the mahjong and swimming and gossip sessions and all. From what i can sense, she's a nice person and has got a good mix of silliness, kiddiness and (yet) maturity and responsibility in her. It's been great having you as our CT rep, maryann! So, hey, i'm not bitching about you on this blog what! (Lol i mean if i wanted to bitch i'd do it where you wouldn't know about it right?)

Ok, so now that's out of the way. Today (or rather, yesterday) was just as eventful i think. Went out with my cousins today! :) Haha 1st we went K-Box where we sang lots of stuff (lol ronald was bloody funny) then went to LAN at the top floor of Cineleisure (where i completely owned my n00b cousins at dota...my performance managed to convince some kids that i was good enough to join a clan competition so i suppose i did pretty well.) After that was dinner and then bowling. And next, we went to my cousins' house (racheland nicholas foo's) to play a bit of Soul Caliber 2 and to play with the dog and all. Home beckoned after such a long day which ended at like 1am. This part of the entry seems quite short somehow...maybe 'cos there's only 4 main events and the fact that i'm gonna skip out on all the details. ("Phew, thank goodness you realise that it wasn't needed, greg!") Very fun, yet again, with all the jokes and activities. Despite the large amounts of time i spent with my schoolmates, i think i'm still the most comfortable around cousins and my extended family. Which doesn't include jiayun consequently for those who know...(although most people won't exactly understand..)

Well i'd better end now. It's almost 6am now so i'm getting really sleepy.. (as if i wasn't sleepy before i started!!) I apologise for any lack of details, lame jokes, bad sense of humour and any grammatical errors that i made, and i blame it solely on my utter drowsiness and complete lack of time. I've gotta go pack for the New York trip which's..tomorrow actually. In the morning. (my departure's at 10am) I haven't started packing yet. Sigh, i've still got so many things to do. So tired of it all. I'm quite tired of packing, especially. Had to pack before going to the chalet, had to pack before and during the NY/Niagara trip. And right after that, i have to start packing for NS. Man. This sucks, having to think so many times like how many sets of underwear do i need and whether have enough space to bring this and that. Ahwell, i'd better end here.
