cca chalet!
Hehe, here I am to update again. This time it's my cca chalet, stayed overnight on Monday and left on the early morning of Tuesday. On Monday, my friend and I took the train towards Bedok together and met up with some of our cca peeps, exchanged numbers with my primary school friend as well. :)
After travelling for some distance, just when we were about to reach the chalet, it started to rain. The raindrops seemed so artificial, it was ultra huge and the rain came so unexpectedly. Being drenched, we stood around doing nothing for some time due to the rain, and also because we don't know the people just yet. But after a while, we joined the group to play some card games. Well, the thought of playing card games doesn't seem so interesting, but it's really the process of getting to know each other. We had this memory game where it really helped a lot in introducing ourselves to everyone.
Soon after the rain stopped, some of us went to cycle. It was actually still drizzling when we left the chalet; fortunately, it stopped after a while. *Cycle, cycle, cycle - tired* And we also chatted with one another while cycling, got to know some nice people. :) Also went to the jetty to take some photos with my classmate. One thing which bothered me was all the aches that I got from the cycling, really got to exercise more..While cycling back to return the bicycle, it started to rain again. Terrible weather for outdoor activites -_-" Talked to our senior while walking back to the chalet (and the rain stopped). In fact, there are two seniors who are in the same course as us. Cool :)Next activity - eating! Haha, it was a barbeque. My friend and I were pretty slackish, didn't do any cooking when almost all the people were standing by the bbq pit helping out. The smoke was real bad, teared although I was indoors. We seemed to be waiting for others to serve us food, hehex..but they still did. Aww man, they are so nice! :)At that moment, we still don't know some of the people there. We were still pretty anti-social, listening to songs and a little away from the main group. But after that, a group of people who were sitting behind us, called us over and we started to chat a little. We then joined them to the beach, bringing along some waterbombs to hit those who were there.
When we got back, it was back to listening to mp3 again, LOL. Soon after, a guy(the one who called us over) sat near us; no choice I guess, probably too packed in the house. He was doing his FOM project, and everyone was like, "so hardworking!". Well, he's the project leader but he doesn't seem nerdy at all. (Haha..no, I don't mean project leaders = nerds, just trying to give you a better idea of what the situation was) Yep, he talked to us for a while, also told us he is able to multi-task, so I guess it was rather pissing coz we weren't that responsive and he's the chatty and hyperactive type, so there was an awkward stretch of silence and he was sighing away, haha!
Luckily, we went to play some card games again. And through this card game session, we got to know some other people, an enthusiastic group of Year 1s. Nice knowing them. Then we went out to get some stuff from the shops. We passed by one, stopped and bought some chips while the others left for 7-11. Haha, the anti-socialness is acting up again. Both of us walked back to the chalet and wanted to go to the playground, but it was already occupied by some other people. We ended up sitting at the area outside the chalet again. And as usual, listened to songs. Haha, if you wanna ask if we were bored then, a little.. just a little, as it's another bonding with my classmate and people came over to talk to us at times. =p
After that, we went to the beach again. This time, it was with some of the humurous guys. We stayed for a much longer period, like hours. We sat at the beach, chatted, listened to jokes, mp3 and also enjoyed a "concert" by the very same guy who sat near us previously. He was from choir, not bad having a free concert at the beach, haha. A very funny and daring guy I must say. He's ultra caring too - which made him unable to see the s h o o t i n g s t a r. Hehe, I SAW IT!! It was super coincidental as he was talking about shooting stars before he went to check whether another group of people were fine (we had to climb the gates as they were locked at 12mn). Sounds really unbelievable, doesn't it? Appeared right after we mentioned it, hehe, I'm so lucky. BUT, my reaction was too slow to react to it, didn't manage to make a wish like what they always do in shows.
Hmm.. did other stuff at the beach, like looking at the couple(their classmates) who were sitting not too far from us, trying to observe for another shooting star, doing some lame stuff - er..dance, etc. Intended to wait for the sunrise, but the plan was spoilt by the weather again. It was 5 plus when we started to walk towards the place to see the sunrise and it started to rain again, so we had no choice but to climb over the gates and head back to the chalets again.Some of the people who didn't go to the beach were still awake, chatting..but it wasn't too long before they went up to catch some sleep. Left with me and my friend in one side, and some others in the other. Super tired, especially when all you see is a television with all the old and uninteresting tv shows and not much to interact with coz she's feeling tired too. After a few hours(maybe it was just 1 or 2, but it felt like forever) of plain sitting and listening to music, some people came to our side of the chalet. Haha, should have chatted with them earlier, instead of all those plain sitting which makes you even more tired. But thinking of it now, I might not be talking a lot, but at least it's better to listen to them chat than nothing. x)
Soon, the sky turned brighter and it was already 8 plus. We chatted for a short while but it was pretty weird, as my head just seemed to turn towards the outside as if there was something interesting on the outside when there really wasn't. He joked to ask whether I was trying to count the number of birds that flew past. Sigh, real bad habit of mine, always trying to turn my head away and look elsewhere to avoid eye contact with others. Grrr..Anyway, after that, my friend and I decided to leave the place. And we also waited for some of the awake ones to get prepared and then walk to Macs for breakfast, while we walk in the same direction to the exit. Really great people I've met, never regret going for the chalet. Thanks to all who contributed to the fun, every single part of it, for the great memories and experiences!
