my life in black&white.

Hey guys, finally i'm back from my class chalet.. So gonna blogged down everything we've done... It's gonna be long.. So bear with me ok? haha.. Here it goes...

The chalet was a BIG SUCCESS yet BIG FAILURE... contradicting myself?? nope.. you've seen it correctly... the chalet was successful yet unsuccessful... Will start off with the good stuffs first... Reached Pasir Ris mrt with Van lai, Shu Hui & Joan at around 1.10pm then realised no one was there... So shopped around white sands and saw kai quan.. he was early too... we shopped a while only and back to the station.. Saw rene there already and waited for the rest of the girls.. The guys headed to costa sands first... Took the shuttle bus to costa sands and check in around 2 plus... We wanted to go escape theme park since we will not be staying for 2 nights but 1 night only.. Told the girls and off we went.. But escape was closed.. They only open during school and public holidays... So we rented some bikes and we pedal our way to Pasir Ris Park.. Love it man.. We had a pleasure time cycling and looking at the sea... Really enjoyed the breeze a lot... We went back around 4 plus and they started the fire for the bbq already.. So we helped them cook the food... The food was nice. I mean they marinated it well.. After dinner, we decided to take our bath and we decided to go and have some fun at night... So the guys tagged along while the rest of the girls wanted to stay in the chalet... We headed to Downtown east to play pool first... Then went to Burger King to grab some snacks and off we went for our bowling games... After the bowling, we decided to head to Changi Village to eat and the guys wanted to see the transexual... Lolz... So yea.. Took taxis down to go and explore... And the taxi driver was like so scared of police.. Coz he drove 5 people... So he asked us to go down to see whether was there police ahead... I seriously think that he's just freaking himself out coz the guys didn't met with the polices.. We stopped by the Changi Village to eat Roti John & Nasi Lemak... OMG!!! Delicious... Especially the Nasi Lemak... thumbs up... After eating, we decided to go to the Changi Beach... The route from Changi Village to Changi bridge was long and quiet... Somemore it's midnight around 1 plus... So we just stayed in one group and slowly walk to the beach... The trek was a nice one too... Chatted with the guys and got to understand them more.. This was what i'm looking forward to... bonding with my own classmates... So we were like laughing and telling ghost stories... And we came across one part of the trek was like a lot of bats were flying around from tree to tree.. Chu wen & Joan got worried, so i held their hands... I also told them that we can form one TB33 Night Walk Club.. Anyway, we didnt managed to go to the beach because it was really dark and there was a distance to the beach too.. So we took taxis back again to our chalet and we went to the beach in Pasir Ris park... Managed to meet up with the rest of the classmates and we just sat at a giant rock and looked at the sea... It was supposed to be peaceful.. But it was not... Cause my classmates were talking away and sharing their stories with the rest... I was just keeping quiet and looking at the sea.. I just love to look at big ships and the night view of the seaside.. Cause it's really relaxing and i enjoyed staying at the beach there looking at sea and boats.. So we went back around morning 4 plus coz the guys wanted to bathe.. After reaching our chalet again.. We just sat around and talked... Some of our classmates went upstairs to rest... While my group and the guys were at downstairs chatting... Surprised we didn't slept at all throughout the night... Only slept like 40 mins this morning on the mat with the guys.. Morning went to downtown east to get some drinks and returned the bbq pit.. And off we went to cycling again, with the guys this time.. Really fun cause they were joking around and we went to the big playground to play again... Haha... We spent about half an hour at that place... Looking at them playing makes me realise that there is really a kid in everyone of us.. Sometimes we just want to flavour our childhood memories again and other times, we just want to forget about other things and really have fun... So we also joined them in some games and off to our biking again... Oh ya, forgot to mention that.. At first me and vanessa was riding the double seater bike.. Then at one point of the journey, we suddenly no strength to pedal cause we went cycling yestreday too.. So was kind of tired... Then Justin and I were changing places.. And sitting with yong ming makes it easier for me.. Cause he can pedal fast.. Then after the playground thing, kai quan wanted to take the double seater bike.. So he rode me on the bike.. Haha.. I only can say woah! His skills were even better and he rode really fast... Cause we were the last one of the pack then suddenly became the first... Nice biking session with them.. They also make sure they accompanied us back to the chalet first before continuing their biking tonight.. That was about it for the whole chalet.. So around 1 plus, we left the chalet and went home...

I'm sure at this point you still haven't discovered any failures of the chalet right... So let me name down a few... Firstly, most of our activities as u can see are with the guys... I seriously don't understand the other group of girls.. I mean chalet is supposed to be fun right? And i don't think that sitting around in the chalet will be fun... It's kind of bored to us and i'm not surprised that all the guys will follow us to go trekking, bowling, biking, etc... Secondly, wondering that time vanessa chng told me about the stuffs when i had conflict with the other group... She was like saying don't have to say why people are avoiding u in the msn nick.. Want to ask just ask in front of the face... Now they are also doing the same thing.. Talking behind our backs.. Just in case they didn't know anything... We heard every single word of her complaints when we were going for bowling that time... Coz we headed back as shu hui forgot her ez link... We weren't affected greatly from her words... Coz the mouth is hers and i also can't control what she wants to say... I only know what goes around comes around... And whatever my group does, they sure got something to oppose us back... And the rest of the girls in that group will just back up for the person who's talking... Seriously, my group also tired of this.. So we didn't care much too cause got used to it already... I know during some parts we were in the wrong.. Like didn't told them about the places we were going next.. But seriously, we did it for a reason too... Told them they will also oppose... So what for right? Just save time and go have fun...

Got two parts i am also quite irritated by them.. First one was during the journey to changi village.. I called rene and asked her if she wanted to come along.. Then she said they didn't have enough money to take taxi.. Obviously, it was just an excuse... Cause i'm super sure that they have enough money as they didn;t know that escape closes during this period and they still plan to go on Wednesday.. So i'm sure they brought enough money for admission to escape.. And the taxi fare was like not very ex also... Then another part was after coming back from the beach... They were like asking why no one washes the bbq stuffs (trays, skewers, etc).. It's so obvious they were hinting us to wash... And we also wanted to wash after they all went upstairs.. And they were like saying some annoying stuffs which really makes me irritated... Wash also not on that day wash man.. So they didn't know have to soak a day to wash away the grease and there's also no sponge or detergent to wash the stuffs up... Luckily we didn't make the breakfast for them which we intended to... Coz later they complain say too cold or plain or whatever... so better don't waste food...

Seriously, this chalet did not bond our class that well... But it did bond between us and the guys... This is the first time we really chatted together and understand one another... As for the other group of girls, everything we do also they correct, we wrong... Everything also follow their way... They cannot come and join in our activities... Seriously without the activities that we planned for ourselves.. I think i will regret coming to this chalet since the other group of girls are keeping a distance from us... Whatever is the case, this chalet has ended and really have to thank some people..

To Diana, Jie Sung, Amanda, Rene & Vanessa Chng: Thanks for planning this chalet... And thanks for preparing all the bbq food and bringing all the stuffs to the chalet...

To the guys: Really fun when you guys are around... And glad that you guys have fun too when you are with us.. Kai quan & yong ming, thanks for your bicycle rides.. Haha... With you guys, i don't have to pedal that much... Nice to go adventure trekking with u all... Really feel safe when u guys are around... Not much to worry about... Kok wee, thanks for your ghost stories and jokes... You are really good in bowling... You are also very sweet.. Everytime like to make as many people happy as possible.. Thanks! Justin, thanks for helping us to wash the bbq stuffs and actually, from this chalet, i find that you are very caring.. Cause that time at the beach, you wanted to follow me go pick rene up... Lastly, eugene... Thanks for appreciating our efforts in doing things... And thanks for helping us to bbq the food at night and helping us when we needed you... THANKS!!! Hope next time we can come out again to have fun....

To Van Lai, Chu Wen, Joan & Shu Hui: Thanks for everything in this chalet... The great memories, fun and experiences we shared together... Just enjoy the times when we are together... I know you guys are affected some ways in the attitudes of some people.. But then, just let it be la... Don't have to worry so much about their words... It's hard to change a person character also.. So stay happy ok? and cheers to our friendship...

This whole chalet thing has made me realise something important about life... It's really the attitude in doing things that affect your life and determines how other people judge you... Don't hate anybody or what.. since we are going to be in this class for at least 2 years.. Just be contented with this situation.. Complaining makes people stressed up and also irritates other people... And most importantly, just be your true self... Don't be two or multi faced just to face other different people in this real life... That's too fake... I'll still treat my friends as friends... But i will definitely speak up for myself or other people if i really cannot stand that attitude of anyone...
