Finally I'm here to update about SB chalet on 28 - 30 Aug at NTUC costa sands Pasir ris. Before that, i wanna share about Cousin Jackie's Bday celebration on 27/8.
27 AUg, Thurs
After working at Research Assistant's lab on Heterophily at 6pm, I took MRT to AMK to meet my godma. Although i spent the 7 hours or so reading the journal articles but i felt like i didn't really make much progress. The articles were quite long but not very useful to my paper. *Sigh*
Godma and I walked a distance towards Mac before flagging down a cab. Within minutes, we arrived at this quite popular seafood restaurant named "MELBEN SEAFOOD RESTAURANT". Its specialty is Crab Beehoon. It was very crowded despite beng a weekday. I stood there with my heavy bag and laptop for almost half an hour, waiting for our table. Meanwhile Godma has already made the orders while waiting. It was 8pm, when Jackie, his wife Jia Min & Grandma arrived. Just nice at that time we
got our table too~
We chatted as we waited for our food to come. 1st dish was pork ribs, then some tofu dish, then veggies, then the crab bee hoon, then butter crab. Finally the kaya cake was brought out and we sang Happy Birthday. The Kaya cake was surprisingly nice. =)
28 AUg, Friday
I attended a IT & Law module to try it out. It was quite interesting lecture and discussion on e-signatures. Haha Although I have no background in Law, i still could understand their discussions. However the laws i am not very certain ofcourse. After the class, i discussed with Karen whether i should continue this module for my T & E requirement (I really hate that they offer such advanced modules for students who are not taking Law/Accountancy/IS). In the end, i decided to drop it and bid for IT & Business Innovations instead. This law module is too heavy for me to juggle 3 other modules and my Research work.
At 4.30pm, i met with Julian who has kindly offered to give me a ride back home to get my stuffs, drive me to the chalet, and help to buy some snacks for the people coming later. After checking in the chalet and putting our stuffs down, i checked out the chalet. Even though it was a duplex (2 storey), it was quite small compared to Aloha chalet. There was no proper kitchen, only 1 bathroom and bedroom. There wasn't even any sofa. haha Next, we went to Downtown East and had dinner at the foodcourt. I had chicken teriyaki don. Then we went to shop for snacks at NTUC before meeting with Larry at Fish & CO Express. We chatted while wendy and icetrap both told me that they would only reach late at night.
Returning to chalet with our snacks and drinks, we played card games and chatted as we waited for the rest to come. At about 10.30pm, Wendy arrived and we chatted while waiting for elise and PV to return from Taiwan. Julian drove us out to Changi Village for supper (dim sum) and met with Elise & PV there. They brought alot of stuffs back man! *ENVY* haha We had a 'feast' - durian springrolls quite special. haha Icetrap (Nick) also joined us around 12am. We observed the TRANS as we ate and chatted. After supper, we drove around, taking a look at the trans. LOL Some of them looked quite hot though! hahaha
Back at chalet, Nick brought Saboteur card game and a board game. He taught all of us to play Saboteur and we played till 3am. Haha When Nick and Julian left, it was shower time and bed time.
29 AUg, Saturday
Woke at 9am - super cold air con! haha Washed up and changed while waiting for PV and Elise to get ready. Haha Julian met with us and drove us to downtown east. We went to have breakfast at Mac. I had my Hotcakes! At 10+am, Rae & Jo joined us for breakfast too. After which, we went to Escape theme park. With the a pair of complimentary tickets, each of us just need to pay $5! Since it was quite early, we managed to skip the queues! We went to Haunted Mansion 1st (with RAe screaming and my laughing) -it was such a noisy trip. Then we went to play some super man ride, Pirates ship (it was awesome! we rode it like 3 times back-back! SOmehow i felt that it was pushing higher~ Poor Rae was so scared =x), played the Wet Boat ride. Jo boldly took the ride by herself, while Rae and I took the next ride together. I wasn't that wet but Rae was pretty wet.
We then went to play other rides like train before taking a break at the BK. Then we went to take this Space ship kind of ride and we took it at least 3 times, letting our clothes and skin bake under the hot noon sun! After which, we braved the wet shooting boat ride. And it was time for me to go for my dance class. SOmemore I had to go home 1st to get my laptop. haha In the end i was late for my 1st dance class but so were my friends.
After dance, BQ, MH and i took mrt together while JY went off. BQ had to accompany her mom 1st so MH went with me to Whites Sands to get the cake. We bought some snacks den walked over to chalet. By the time we arrived some of the people were there le. While the guys set up the BBQ pit, MH, Affinity, Dolp and I played daidee while watching MJ. We also snacked on the BBQ food here n there. YP and WJ also dropped by to see me. Finally at about 9pm when most people have arrived, we all walked over to Downtown East to attend Jasmine's 21st bday celebration. MH also went back since BQ didn't join.
Next we took some pics with her before going back to chalet and had our own bday celebration for the other Aug babies. After eating the cake, we played some group games and eventually Truth or Dare. It didn't end well cuz most of the people kena didn't want to do the dares or answer. LOL At 12am, they suggested going to Downtown east for L4D or bowling or movie. We walked over to downtown east for the 4th time that day. However there isn't Lan shop in Downtown east, and the movies were not that appealing so we ended up playing bowling. Nick, Mr_J and Ces are not bad at bbowling wor. I super long time never play bowling liao and was quite surprised that i managed to have a couple of strikes!! Wahahha Miko also had a few strikes! Weee~~
We played till 2+am then we walked back to chalet. Some of them left while some of them remained to chat. I was quite sleepy so after shower, i went to sleep.
30 AUg, Sunday
Woke up at abt 9am, it was raining so heavily so we waited for the rain to lessen while watching TV show and chatting. haha Finally at 11am, the rain kinda become smaller so we quickly walked over to the lobby and checked out. The shuttle bus arrived at 11.30am and we took it to White Sands. We had brunch at Xin Wang Cafe. Then i took mrt with Miko to Paya Lebar.
