Chalet!
Man, photobucket sucks balls. They’ve revamped the whole thing, now we can’t adjust the photos’ sizes to our preferance, they’ve got fixed resizing for you. So blame photobucket for the following tiny photos because pictures anything bigger than this size will overflow out of the blog. Pfft.
They don’t even have “50% of the original size” available, nooooo, it’s gotta be 40%, an absurd, irregular number.
Photobucket, you just lost one customer. *shakes fist*
Chalet was pretty groovy. Exams weren’t. Well, paint mah horse red and slap me silly, Flowers for Algernon came out as the text-based question! Lucky that my trusty, not dying, printer managed to save itself and printed out the notes, he’s all fine and dandy now. I knew my printer of 6 years wouldn’t bail out on me now *pats printer* Damn right, 6 years.
The more I think about it, the more I’m certain that I screwed up English. I couldn’t understand what the cloze passage was trying to tell me either during the Chinese exam. The only chunk I could understand was that these bunch of people, under don’t-know-what circumstances, added loads of fat and oil to their instant noodles. Oh, and they added chocolate too. Eugh.
Anyway, exams are ovvvaahhh! Limpon and I headed towards Downtown East later in the afternoon to meet Yap Seng, Teng Hui, Sue Ann, Rui Wen, Si Hui, Yong Quan, Wei Rong, Jing Mei, Yong Jie, Roderick and Wei Hao. Pasir Ris is like, a foreign country to me. I swear, I saw dead trees everywhere while the train was nearing Pasir Ris. Spooky trees, they looked like they were burnt.
It feels kind of odd to blog about what happened.
Merely describing with words wouldn’t justify the fun we had. But here it is anyways.
Limpon and I arrived at the chalet area after having to change our $2 notes to $1 coins to pay for the entry. The security guard tried to change my note but he said that the machine wouldn’t accept it because my note was too old. Hyuk. We began trying to find which room we were supposed to stay in, but we thought the room number was 1102, so anyone who saw us would’ve seen a couple of crazees banging on an empty room’s door.
Eventually we found our room, but no one was in.
Bleh, so Limpon imprison herself:
Later on, Jing Mei, Jasmine, Si Hui and Rui Wen came. Being crazees again, Limpon and I stuffed ourselves into the closet, argh cram! It’s a small closet, mind you. We jumped out and screamed at whoever was in front of the closet [Si Hui, haha] Man I wanna do that again. Like monsters jumping out of a closet, haha!
We did some heart-attack, truth or dare style. Teng Hui really has no luck, he gets hit all the time. Either that or it’d be Yong Quan. Yong Quan still owes us a dare man, walk into a bikini shop and ask for a bikini. Who was the idiot who came up with that? Oh yeah, Teng Hui almighty.
Wei Rong’s dare was to act cute, and damn it was cute. But photos and videos were prohibited, darn. 
I started comparing feet.
Yay, feast your eyes on stinky toes
Left: Mine. Right: Wei Rong’s
No not really. That funky sock belongs to me!
Teng Hui’s and mine.
Yes, we’ve all established that fact that my feet are small. People in primary school used to accuse me of binding my feet
Then Teng Hui compared the length of his hand to my foot. His hand is practically the same size as my foot, so to know how it feels like to be walking like me, look at Teng Hui walking on his hands.
Wei Rong’s so tall, Limpon and I were still shorter than him even when we were standing on the bed. Limpon stood on the stool instead, hah.
Gah, I’m REALLY hating these tiny pictures.
We headed to the arcade later.
I didn’t know they had a pool area called “Funky Balls”. It sounds so wrong, yet so funky.
We made a new friend too, called Ronald.
He’s pretty funky, he’d fit in well in Funky Balls. He looks awesome in yellow too, and was nice enough to take a picture with Jasmine, Limpon and Rui Wen.
Hey Ronnie pal.
The arcade there is just like one of those old-school arcades, the arcades which have games that we can collect tickets from and if you have enough tickets, you can exchange it for a prize! I love those arcades, I find it so nostalgic. And err, the prizes are fun too. Limpon and I got chocolates.
And doode, guess what we found?
*Flintstones, meet the Flintstones*
Actually, I hated Flintstones when I was a kid. As far as I knew, they could burn in hell along with The Jetsons and Cow & Chicken. But the ride looked so cute I just had to sit in it.
Cow & Chicken was a nightmare brought to life and was broadcasted on national television for 10 years with the same reruns every other day. Plus, that song will be embedded in my memory forever. *Mamma had a chicken. Mamma had a cow. Dad was proud, he didn’t care how!* Just like how Westlife songs will never erode from my memory. *An empty street, an empty house, a hole inside my heart…*
Erm.. Anyway. Jasmine and Rui Wen played Datona, but 2 other guys accidentally started the game the same time Jasmine and Rui Wen did, so they ended up competing with strangers. One of the dudes actually looked ashamed, he started shaking his head and turning to his friends to heave sighs of shame. Geez man, you’re probably only about, what, 2 or 3 years older than us at the most?
Everyone, except the “cool” dudes competing against us, were screaming like hell.
Okay just the girls were.
We ate some dinner and headed back to the chalet. Limpon told me that Roderick’s a broccoli farm. Why, indeed. So Limpon made him turn around and snatched his earlobe, she made me touch the skin growth on his earlobe. It was kind of a “Wtf” moment, and it didn’t look like a broccoli farm, haha Limpon.
Here’s Lenny the man, my handphone twin:
And what’s a chalet without…
Mahjong! When Wei Hao plays, he really looks into it. He’s now labelled as a little mafia.
I think he’ll grow up to be one of those businessman type of suit-and-tie people. Limpon thinks he eats spaghetti everyday.
Haha, I think this shirt is really Yong-Quan-ish, black stuff with fiery flames.
I think his drawings are impeccable, my drawings compared to his is like, Cow & Chicken animation to Roman Dirge. He can set up a bloody drawing school already.
And here’s another video! A video of Yong Jie playing the guitar, playing Coldplay – The Scientist. I made it black and white because I thought it would make it look more arty-farty. The background noise, boys shouting at a television screen while playing Halo, is a little deafening, but you can make out the notes and his singing. You can hear Limpon and I telling him to sing, he sings pretty decently.
Yong Jie is just one funky character man, I think he’ll get loads of girls in the future if he continues to play the guitar like that.
Damn, the next boyfriend I have must be able to play the guitar.
In the end, only some of the dudes stayed over night. Limpon, Tenghui, Wei Hao and I took the train home. Limpon told us loads of weird stories like about how earworms lay eggs in your ear and the babies would eat your brain. She said that Leonardo Da Vinci had an earworm in his ear, but he had so much wax in his ear that the earworm just like, drowned in his wax. Good lord, what a terrible death for an earworm.
Teng Hui and I had to sit through 24 stops, from Pasir Ris to Clementi and Jurong. Singapore’s so small, yet so big. We talked about a load of stuff, most of the time I was complaining about stupid things, like spoilt kids and such. Complaining is my forte.
I think it’s really stupid when people keep teasing us, I know they’re just kidding and it’s alright in small doses but it really gets on my nerves if it goes too far, like proposing or teasing him/me as if the other party’s not there. Bah, man.
I can’t believe 2006 has flew by. I remember last year felt like a really long year, this year was quick though.
Blah, I’m too tired for reflections. All I want to say is that the chalet was fantastic fun, let’s have another one during the holidays! Whee.
And maybe by then, I’ll have signed up to another photo hosing site which allows me to resize the pictures to my preferance >=(
This post seems rather short.
