Yo people, I'm finally tagging another entry after the last entry which was quite outdated already. I don't know why but I just don't feel the addiction to come online that often for those days. Somehow I feel fatigue's accumulating a lot even though I try to relax myself.
Thanks people for making the chalet a nice one! The only regret was that not many year 1s are free on these dates of chalet. Otherwise, year 2s will need only to idle around during bbq. Ha, joking. This time round only manage to get Jaron to come down for the bbq. Youquan and Sabrina are uncontactable.
=Chalet Day 1=
Before I set off to meet y3 2.45 at downtown east lobby, I have myself searching for ezlink card for 15+ minutes that caused me to be slightly late. Therefore I may as well wait for lim pin knowing he's on the way to interchange soon.
Turnout's pretty good on day 1. The room isn't big so it seems squeezy for all that turned up. Compared to the last visit to Downtown East, the room decoration seems to have improved. When the TV ads of DE show up, it's a strange how fun the ads show DE to be when I'm not ready to spend on anything much.
Don't know how the check in system works. The lobby changes its place to another part of DE. Got a free swim board upon checking in. The receptionist somehow gives me that stare when I tell her I'm over 18. I don't look that old yet? Perhaps she didn't mean that way. Ha I think maybe I was just too sensitive. Ha.
The couple now willing to let others acknowledge their relationship after a long time... Hahaha, wanted to grill them with more (interview-type) questions but didn't as I thought somehow it'll turn out to be pretty stupid.
Everyone first watch superstar on channel U then spongebob squarepants on central.. It's y3's favourite show, so she cannot miss it. Lim pin was commenting on the lameness of the show. Ok, I've witnessed it.
Had dinner at BK which is so damn expensive. The only thing nice was the star wars bottle. But since there's no cap, I doubt it can be used as a bottle. Anyway, I should have tried the "galatic burgers". Looks yummy at least.
Didn't have mahjong sets to rent this time. We resort to borrow one from gerard's mother. Haha. Jaron and lim pin's hands already itching for mahjong. Ha.. Gibson's luck was really extremely bad. Lost all rounds, hahaha...
Halo 2 was most of the time what is on the TV set. Gerard brought that and MX, james, gerard were taking turns to play that. Everyone else seems bored. Or at least I am. I think y3 too, she's either stoning or smiling at her handphone.
=Chalet Day 2=
Y3, Mx, Gerard, James, DK and me stayed overnight. I was playing cards initially, then change to become a teacher. I taught y3 and DK mahjong after I teach DK bridge. There's many terminologies to remember which seems to pose more difficulty to beginners than other things else. DK has exceptionally strong sense in entertainment stuff. He picks every fun things rapidly. Oh man, either I'm just dumb or he's just smart. It takes me quite a while to pick off last time. James joined in later on and I got to re-explain.
Occasionally, I need to purposely refocus my eyes to elsewhere but it's hard with the loving couple eh... I wonder if DK has the same sentiments. =P
Had my shower quite late. Around 12 plus I think. I thought at least 1 person will bring toothpaste but turn out, opps, NO ONE!? Everyone wasn't in a sleeping mood then so I didn't sleep as well. I start making pyramid out of mahjong before extending it to igloo as claimed by y3. There's eiffel tower and jenga tower as well. Ha. After that, I still succumb to my fatigue. I'm so sorry y3 n mx have to help to keep those mahjong tiles away. Aiya, just take that as an appreciation for my effort in teaching them mahjong then. =P
Ask so... many times for the breakfast. No one gives a proper answer. End up eating the instant noodles y3 n I bought back. Diao~ I sponsor $8 for the food but seems like not much of it was eaten. Ehh....
Lunch at the food court. It's almost half as expensive as BK. But still, I felt cheated. $3 for a damn small plate of "char siew" rice. Except for gerard's $3 "char kuey" which seems lesser than mine, mx and y3's ones are a lot more.
Felt kind of bored so request wei jie to come earlier. I went for a swim with him at the pool which people can see through the sides and bottom. Yay, I think I learn a few more interesting tips from him to improve my frontcrawl style aka freestyle. I still need to practise more to ensure I can swim a longer stretch.
BBQ goes as normal... The part about skewering chickens is a bit more problematic. It's not "I" who want to skewer it. I just think it'll be easier for even heat distribution and for everyone else to eat easier.
Heineken made me quite bloated. I wasn't feeling drunk, just super uncomfortable due to the fizzy gas in my stomach.
=Chalet Day 3=
No Halo this time. Only bridge, bridge and more bridge... Somehow, mx is in his madcat form. He's rather high, keep raising the bid to 4 no triumph level and make everyone go crazy with it.
Woke up later than the checking out time. Rushed to pack and go...
=Election of New EXCO=
It's roughly the same way how lp, wj and I got elected last year. It's an event that will make some people surprised and some disappointed. There was really a serious consideration of every year 1s, who'll be more appropriate for the EXCO posts. I think that communication within EXCO and to other members need to be stressed. For my batch, I think I can work really well with lp and wj but maybe slightly lacking in the way message is passed down to members.
One who have the technical experience for a job is of course good. But for certain things, character is very important to look at when choosing a suitable person for a role as interpersonal relationship is often the underlying factor to keeping the club united.
Of course, whoever got or didn't get the posts, I wish to see all to stay united. We're still as 1 club. Hopefully, everyone can contribute indiscriminately to the club.
=Misc=
Somehow I find myself rather immature. I don't know myself that well yet. I take things on when maybe I may not even be prepared. That can only end up hurting myself ultimately. Opportunity is rare and it often slips through my hand as I'm indecisive. I need to learn to be a better person and then perhaps others will learn to cherish me as a valuable individual more.
