Hey, think i wanna blog about the chalet which happened from last Sunday till Thursday. It was really long, and sometimes it was really quite boring, but for the rest it was really exciting. Anyway, here goes:

Sunday

Nothing much really happened. Just checked in at 9 plus at night, so we can just skip that =)

Monday

I rented a bike from a chalet, since i was nearly bored to tears. I then chose the bike which looked the most well-kept, but unfortunately it may looked well-kept but it wasn't. The tires were super hard and of low profile, that coupled with the super stiff suspension meant that the ride was really firm. So firm till the point that you feel your back is going to shatter whenever you ride over a small pebble on the road.

So things weren't really going that well. And it gets worse when you find out that the brakes were so spongy and weak it felt as if they were made from chewing gum. And there were no gears at all. And you cant cruise cause the bike would just shudder. Ok, i could go on forever.

Later in the day my sister's friends came and we then went to the beach. Following that we had bbq where the fire just would not start. Nevertheless, we managed to quite a lot of food and not to forget the bbq marshmallows. The day ended with one of the friends who is called PEIQI staying over.

Tuesday

Nothing much happened cause i was sleeping the whole afternoon, even though even more of my sister's friends came. We just went to changi airport terminal 2 staff canteen for dinner. The fried hokkien mee is delicious k. Our night was rudely disrupted by the arrival of lizards and beetles in our chalet. One of the lizards was actually crawling over our snacks. In fact there were so many of them that my sister and her friend had to sleep outside the corridor, which disturbed my parents' sleep and of course, my sleep =(

Wednesday

Things get much better when EngHan, KaiLun and Gregory came. The 4 of us first rented a bicycle and started to cycle away from the chalet. There we stopped at the East Coast Hawker Centre for lunch, where we had the famous duck rice and sugar cane. It is also important to note that one of the drink stall's sugar cane machine was infested with flies. We immediately walked away and pretended not to notice the shopkeeper =/

After lunch we continued with our cycling and stopped by an enormous sand castle, where a kind lady helped us take a picture.

There we continued when we saw this brickwater by the sea. We decided to rest there since it was sunny, windy and quiet. Then joker KaiLun had nothing better to do and decided to write and "adventurous" letter.

We then continued for a short while and then had to turn back. Partly cause we realised we had already cycled to Fort Road (close to the city area), partly cause "Robinson Crusoe" realised he was sunburnt, but also cause gregory had to leave for his class chalet.

Next up was our second bbq. Sadly there was so much food leftover that even KaiLun couldnt finish. Obviously his favourite were bbq marshmallows when he kept exclaiming "OMG so nice...! OMG..."

After the bbq we took another stroll by the beach to enjoy sunset. And this time we found something quite scary - drugs. Yup, it was hanging by the tree, and it looked like medicine, and we found them in a desolated area of the beach. However we were too scared to report them cause we were afraid that the drug dealers would do something to us... =/

The day ended with EngHan staying over for the night. Chatted and talked about nearly everything till 2am, before we finally called it a day and slept..

Nothing much happened on Thursday, so that mainly concludes the chalet. Well, posting about Mr Chan's wedding next =) Until next time, cya!
