4 days of chalet seemed long whn i tot of it.
but it's really sad that im home now,
back from chalet at aloha changi.
the 4 days were great;
in the sense that i could keep sch work away from my mind,
rotting away,
staring blankly at the ceiling...

we met at tampines mrt on mon aftn.
shopped in the supermarket for bbq stuff and lots of food!
i dun quite rmb wad we did whn we reached the chalet.
(half way through this post i rmbed we watched incredible tales)
but basically we spent tt evening preaparing for bbq!
ate quite alot of pineapple rice prepared by fy,
and i quite like her potato salad!!
=)
seniors came down.
played silly games.
did shocking forfeits.
mr sham, mr lee n coach came down too.
felt very entertained by mr sham's n coach's conversation.
we ate.
played ps2.
mah jong-ed till the nxt morning.
eh.
no,
i slept at around 4am.
the rest slept at 7.30am.
haha.

woke up n stoned.
ordered pizza for lunch.
basically we just watched dvds, mah jong-ed, ps2-ed, played cards and slept until late evening.
there werent many of us left at the chalet.
just 5girls n 5 guys.
went tampines mall for our first proper meal.
den watch indiana jones.
it was quite boring at first but it got more exciting somewhr lah..
managed to catch the last bus back to chalet.
jq, ly, veron n hy came back.
didnt noe wad to do...
ps2-ed at first.
got tired.
so jq n i watched saw3.
den bernard n song ghee n hy joined in.
ly and veron were on the sofa slping,
waking up occasionally.
haha.
after saw3,
watched big mama house 2.
n tt idiot jq slp!
>.<
left me, hy n bernard.
ah long pte ltd aft tt.
jq woke up.
but i slept coz i just watched it wif marilyn that aftn.
but anw,
tts not the point.
point is tt i stayed up!
hahaha.
only went to the bed to slp at around 6.30am.
an achievement!!

woke up.
ps2-ed AGAIN.
went to changi village for lunch b4 renting bikes.
haha.
we thought it would be fun cycling.
we cycled at changi beach.
attempted to go to east coast but decided to do it after dinner instead.
so we played at the playground.
it was damn fun!
seriously!
though i think i looked like an idiot;
totally!
rahhh!
went back to the chalet to rest before going to play bball.
dinner-ed.
went back chalet.
left at around 10.26pm.
cycled to east coast.
it was around 12.30 whn we got to mcdonalds for supper.
by then already quite tired n our butts were so painful!
n we stil had to cycle all the way back!
took another 2 hours or so.
got back at around 4am.
jq, lauren, veron n hy slept.
marilyn n ly attempted to watch transformers with the guys.
leaving me n lx hving nothing to do
=P
so we played cards with bernard while talking crap.
the guys got big bed!
very shuang!
so while waiting for veron n hy to wake up,
lx n i lay on the bed.
haha.
disturbed jq;
or rather,
irritated her.
HEE.
coz she was slping n lx n i kept talking to her n wake her up.
but she won anw.
coz we decided to be nice n slp wif her.
=D

it was just checking out whn we woke up.
followed by lunch at tampines mall.
den home.
so fast hor?
AHHHH!

highlights of the chalet!
1) the super funny pig game we played wif seniors on the first nite!
2) the forfeit folowing the game...
3) the conversation btw mr sham n coach while they played NBA on the ps2! (argue argue argue)
4) very nice movie watched :)
5) left YOU and ME who survived the movie marathon on the second nite! wahahaha.
6) cycling!!!!! (it would hv been better if our buts didnt hurt)
7) swinging on the swing!
8) our "TEAM BONDING session" at the SEESAW! damn funny!!! but very fun too!
9) stupid blind mice game which made me looked like an idiot >.<
10) veron and jq's double seater bike crashing into the bushes! hahaha.
11) looking at planes taking off n landing!! the feeling's shuang!!
12) poking and irritating dear jq with our very random topics just to get her stop slping (though we failed), asking her to choose between us (gosh, we seem so desperate!) and telling her to ride the extra bike back to the rental shop n to get breakfast for us on the way. HAHAHA. sorry for irritating u jq! but no more chance already!

so,
a record!
slept at 3am first nite.
6.30am on the second n third nites.
hahaha.
chalet's meant to be a chance for the "always so HIGH" jq to disturb the "always slp at 10pm valerie" and stop her from slping.
but well,
seems like it has become the other way eh jq?
=P
im sure u're impressed by me!
hahaha.
okay.
this is really sad.
coz this hols is going to be different;
totally!
coz i wun be seeing u ppl almost everyday!
urgh.
im off to slp now.
got to clock back the hours i sacrificed during the chalet to add more life to the dead nite!

and it's not even my account!
damn!

a big quarrel
Saturday, May 03, 2008

ytd was an interesting day.
one which i experienced many feelings in just 24 hours.
early morning,
i was happy to go to sch to meet ppl i hvnt seen for a day.
reached sch.
got a shock.
saw some note that said something like "u may think u look familiar here..."
so i tot,
another bday celebration for someone!
but heck,
i'll nv noe tt person.
den i found myself looking at this picure that really seemed familiar.
it was jq!
gosh.
den i tot,
haha,
they playing a trick on jq again,
poor jq.
and then,
i saw fy's picture!
=O
how come sabo jq oso gt fy's pic?
weird.
looked again n URGH.
mine!
O.O
RAHHHH!!!
gt a big shock.
didnt noe how to react,
but so paiseh.
walked to grandstand and saw the juniors preparing balloons and stuff..
hmmm?
wad were they doing.
well,
it turned out they were hving some farewell thing for us!
so sweet.
there was this wall at the bbal court tt had all our ugly pics.
n the juniors wrote me a song!
anw we were late for assembly.
hmm.
our last time b4 stepping down that we're late for assembly.
veron n hy were drawing on a balloon for us.
but a really strong wind blew it away and it gt stuck at some place tt we hv no access to,
after which another strong wind came,
the balloon flew n burst.
our hearts ached.
haha.
but it's the thoughts that count!
lessons tt day were alright.
since it was just double lect with ly n jq.
and then double tut with ly, ff and jy.
it was a short day but we had physics remedial.
i just stoned bcoz i was really tired.
helped jq wipe the glasses for college day which ly helped with the washing.
hoho.
n we had the cca relay heats.
i didnt really run well..
rahhh.
n i so blame myself.
thanks fy for the drink aft the run.
we had elections.
interviewed for hours.
thinking hard with the best interest for the 2009 team.
finally decided the excos.
so,
to the excos,
"with great power comes great responsibility".
i hope that u ppl will lead the team well n let it soar to greater heights!
the j2s said their last words b4 stepping down and it was quite sad...
the juniors presented us with a hand-made cake each after that.
so sweet! =)

this is the cake they gave me! can make out the words?

hmmm.
after all these farewell stuff, it was really late.
and i guess that was y i got myself into big trouble again.
13 missed calls.
u were SO angry.
n i knew that was it.
i tried explaining but u nv wanted to accept the explanations i gave.
u nv gave urself a chance to understand,
u nv gave me a chance to help u understand.
at that moment,
i thought to myself,
was i really that bad?

i was upset that u didnt understand me enough.
hurt that u didnt even bothered listening to wad i had to say...
disappointed that u gave me no chances.
and i finally broke down;
after the call.
u team mates got ur wish.
u saw me cry.
but i noe the reason behind y i cried wasnt quite wad u ppl wanted.
but still,
the tears were genuine;
just for a different reason.
cab-bed hme;
yet again.
crying all the way hme.
on the way back,
issues i tot i had already come to terms with came back to me.
if only mom was here,
i would hv had more freedom.
there would be no nid for me to waste money cabbing hme.
no nid for me to run hme from bus stops.
no nid for me to explain y i wasnt hme on time.
no nid for my reasons to be thrown back at me.
and if only i was still living in b.p.
in the house i can call my own.
i really hate staying here.
it seems like im just renting this room for me to slp and study.
i hate going back to something tt's not mine everyday...
but there's really nothing i can do...
==============================================
cried again in the showers.
thinking that she'll nv understand me.
thinking of wad i had done wrong.
and y couldnt she just accept the fact that this is how jc life's going to be.
she ignored me whn i tried talking to her.
n i tried again after dinner.
she finally responded by flaring up.
and the one sided quarrel started with her fierce scoldings and with me just listening to them.
many times she mentioned basketball.
disapproving it.
i really wanted to tell her how wrong she was when she made all these nasty comments.
but i held back.
there was no point in me making her angrier by talking back,
and she wouldnt listen to me anyway.
her tears showed that she cared for me.
and i accepted the fact that i was wrong not to keep my phone with me.
i admit that i've been going home late these days,
but my reason behind is that i just want to spend more time with my team;
but she'l nv understand.
after all the scoldings we didnt talk again.
my tear drops fell like rain last night.
but i got a clearer picture of wad she expects of me.

and i promised myself;
this is going to be the last time i'll ever make her angry again.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


here's the pics i owed u ppl from the m'sia trip...

lauren!

marilyn holding her shoe!


me doing my silly dare...
