Band Chalet
Okay, I'm back!! Should have still been in the chalet, doing checking out and stuff, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I am back at home instead, feeling fully rested after a long sleep.
Let's see if I can remember what I did for the past two days. In the morning of the first day I went back to salt centre for individuals with lz. I think including warm ups I spent a grand total of one hour and fifteen minutes practising. The rest of the time was spent photocopying the scores, which took an incredibly long time, cos we kept missing pages of the scores >(
After that we went to lz's hse cos he didnt manage to finish packing the day before. Read abit of my book while waiting for him to finish whatever he was doing, which took a while. Supposed to meet lionel at tampines at 12 to go pasir ris together, but in the end we reached about 12:30 liddat. Sorry lionel!!! Yeah, made him wait for half an hour. =( sorry!!
Ok, the mrt ride was freaking long. like 50+ minutes?? got bored (and hungry) after standing on the train for awhile, so i suggested going for lunch first, then continuing on the the journey. Decided on Bugis, and went to Crystal Jade for lunch. The food was super nice, and super filling. I dont know how they calculate their servings, but it was just right. We were filled almost to the brim, but not quite, leaving a little space for the ice cream next. Slacked around at that doughnut place, cos we were all feeling too comfortable to move.
Finally began the rest of the long journey to pasir ris, and we reached with abit of time to spare. Went arcade to look around, played House of the Dead 4 with lionel. Kena thrashed in like.. 30 seconds after he died, so it goes show what good boys we are and how little we go to places like arcades. There was this new game which edwin had alot of fun playing, which involved poking the buttons which lit up. But edwin, being edwin, couldnt smashing the buttons with all he had, which left him complaining of his hurting hands after tt. =)
Next, we tried to get to Aloha loyang by bus, but somehow, we managed to split into three groups in the process. First group was lz and edwin, who managed to get on the very crowded bus. Second group was me, xiangjing, ls, zx and a girl (dunno her name), which sneaked a ride on the downtown east bus. Third group was lionel, shimin, germaine and someone else, which walked all the way there. Well, it took awhile, but after alot of hassle, we all managed to get there in one piece.
There wasnt much to do there, so we got out the cards and I learnt how to play Snap Jack. Played that and a few more games, like hearts, bridge, etc. After that we went to throw the frisbee around, and learnt how to play a frisbee match. This was followed by a very vigorous game of ice and freeze, which left everyone hot, sweaty and tired. Those who didnt join in were playing mahjong at the balcony, so they were the only clean ones around.
Ok, my memory gets a little cloudy abt what we did next, so I may have gotten the sequence wrong. Basically I bathed, watched 心花朵朵开 and waited for the pizza to arrive. After that we played strip poker with the mahjong tiles as chips. I think our rules are abit screwed, seeing as no one has played strip poker before, therefore we didnt get very far with the "stripping". luther, liangsai and i were "stripped" of our shoes and yiyi remained the only one fully clothed. not very sexually appealing, but it was fun playing all the same.
Yongjie arrived around this time, so the ten minutes before his arrival we spent deciding on a place to celebrate, getting the cake out and trying to bring a lit candle out into the open space with the wind blowing from all directions. After that we attempted to bond yongjie (failed terribly cos his jeans were too tight), sang the birthday song and brought the cake back into the chalet to cut and eat. Then there was a mini cake fight which left yongjie with some cake down the front of his shirt (which he wore for the next day as well), and some disgusting raspberry juice on chai's shirt.
After that it was mahjong time again and I sat around watching them play. When no money gets involved, I find very little incentive to win, and therefore, get very lazy to think. It was fun watching until I got bored, so i went to find lz they all, and found them telling stories and talking bout random stuff outside. Joined them for awhile, then they went back to the chalet and i went to look at the stars.
We realised tt there wasnt anyone at the bottom level of the chalet after awhile, so we went back in and found all of them camping in one of the second story rooms, playing taboo. Went in to join them, and they played a few other games like charades, guessing band songs, movies etc. Played for super long, and it was really very funny, but in the middle of the game i started losing my voice, and by the end of it i think i couldnt even talk. Drank lots of water, but still no use, so i just ignored it.
Went to play mahjong again and this time i joined in until i got too bored. While we were playing the rest of them were having some heart to heart talk which i found really amusing. So the four of us playing mahjong attempted to eavesdrop on them, which was a little too obvious, cos of the conspicuous drop in volume. After we ended the game we went for supper at the vending machine. to be honest, the sandwiches were quite horrible, but its better than nothing, and certainly makes falling asleep easier.
Went up to sleep with lionel after supper. It was around 6+ am then. Shortly after, we were joined by lz, who started making falling asleep just about impossible. Due to my inability to speak, I couldnt make him shut up, so I decided to ignore him (which was just as hard). Anyway, luckily lionel was there, so lz turned his attention to him and I was able to finally fall asleep.
-end of day 1-
