Yesterday, I got back from a wonderful and eventful 3 days 2 nights chalet with the 4F boys minus Xiong Jie.
The first day started off boring and unexciting.
We settled in the expensive but cockroach filled tiny room. Totally not worth the money. Seriously.
However, we decided that we should make the best of it and enjoy.
As usual, if you were ever in East Coast Park, you would rent a bike and cycle the area. So, that was what we did.
By the end of day three, our buts were sore and our thigh muscles aching.
All of us decided that we would not sleep on the first night.
So, at 3am, we all went out for a game of pool somewhere near Macdonalds area.
I never played pool before so I was like, "pardon my lousiness."
It felt quite awkward using the stick, poking the balls etcetera.
Just when we thought that the night/morning would end and we would go back to our room and slack, something interesting happened!
Lo and behold!
An Indian couple was drowning in the canal nearby.
Like any other sane person would do, I pulled the brakes on my bicycle and went to see if I could be of any assistance.
So, I dialed the police and explained to them the location of the two drowning people in the canal. Luckily for the drowners [lol?] , a professional diver was around. Imagine that, right place at the right time. Unfortunately, the canal wall was too high up and they were unable to climb up.
So, SEVERAL policemen called my handphone to check for updates.
The questions they asked were really irrelevant, sometimes weird and useless.
Like, how deep is the canal?
How am I supposed to know, I'm not the one drowning here.
And he asked me the same question a few times.
Other questions include, what is their race?
How is knowing their race help save them? Get your men here already!!
But I guess that there was just police procedure and I was/am not gonna argue about it.
I am telling you, if I was the one drowning[ considering I do not know how to swim] and there was no professional diver around and someone called the police, I would be dead already because they were really really late! And the neighbourhood police is only a few kilometers away!!
Well, now I have several police phone numbers in my phone! LOL.
And through it all, I managed to let out the blogger in me.
"Dang, I should have brought my camera along!"
Anyhooways, they were save and that was that. Apparently, they had drugs on them and Suren and Sean saw them fighting before at 7pm. Imagine fighting from 7 till 3!
Well, at least that was what we thought happened since Suren heard them conversing in Indian about drugs etc.
So, back at the tiny space we call room, all of us gathered around discussing the situation and how it would be like if someone else drowned and we started making crude and evil jokes about it. I feel really bad about it really! But it was a great bonding session. Definitely!
The excitement just exhausted us, so most of us fell asleep. As we figured, it was a chore trying to cram 9 boys in 3 beds. Well... I fell asleep before the sleeping arrangement was resolved so I don't know how they did it but they did!
Scary thing was, I suddenly woke upin the middle of the morning and had a laughing fit! I could not stop laughing and laughing and laughing and I thought I was going mental or something! Creepy I know.
Second day, was the day of the barbecue which turned out unsuccessful since not more than half the class came! Apparently, they were either away on holiday or had to do night shifts for their part time job. Story of our lives.
In the morning, some of us who were already awake decided to head out to the beach and then Bedok Jetty.
This was the day, our butts really sored! We needed to get some bbq supplies so, we cleverly decided to cycle all the way to bedok interchange instead of walking then taking the bus.
It was a bad decision on our part because we almost got lost and not our feet or thighs, but our butts were killing us! 3 hours on bikes can seriously hurt our ahem...love handles. Yeah, okay, moving on....
The chicken was delicious and I did not have any stomachache the next day, so hurray to that!
Well, the third day, me and James went to catch the sunrise but the sun was blocked by some humongous clouds. I managed to snap some beautiful pictures though. So, it was definitely worth it.
Basically, all of us were worn out from yesterday's adventure etc. So, we were mostly moody and had nothing much to say.
Most of us were badly sunburnt from the extreme heat of the sun, turning red! So, stop global warming and
SAVE OUR SKINS!! SOS!
Got back home and tomorrow I am leaving for Ubin with the family! Gosh, my holiday is so interesting! Jealous arent you?
Oh, and guess what? I got into National JC for the PAE! I am not sure what to feel about this. But, we will see how the first month goes. So far, from what I know, only YuHui and I are going to this JC. But, I can always make new friends, even for just a few weeks!
Currently, due to the writer's strike, I decided to catch up on my Smallville by watching it from season 1 till 7! So far, I am at season 3! I can seriously do character profiling.
Clark Kent and his on off relationship with Lana Lang. His, I need to do this on my own and save the world mentality. Not to forget, his bad decision making.
Jonathan Kent and his stubbornness and overprotectiveness.
Martha Kent and her I want to be the mediator and telling her husbands the, "do you remember when you were young..."
Lex Luthor and his twisted mind and his obsession with Clark! His paranoia etc.
I can go on on the other characters but I wanna go pack my bags now so, yeah!
BYE!
