Tip of the day:
never ever book the chalet called Costa Sands Resort, Sentosa. you'll freak when u see the room. It's so tiny that the toilet looks huge, in proportional to the room. The point is, the room+toilet is probably SMALLER then my own bedroom(w/o toilet). serious! If you think that costa sands downtown east is already TINY, this one is SMALLER. hmm, there's barely any space to walk, much less squeeze in 20+ ppl? Even the television had to be installed at the corner top of the room, near the ceiling.
well, other than the immeasurably small room, i think the sec2A gathering was fine. Some stuff happened but stuff like these DO happen. get what i mean? =P i reached around late morning, stuffed my bag into the puny room and proceeded to siloso beach. we played vball for a while, admired the sea, submerged ourselves(arms and legs only, but some got a little unlucky and were pushed in, but that's a diff story altogether), threw sand at each other, laughed at hilarious actions/ jokes before having lunch. After lunch we walked about, not wanting to stay enclosed in the tiny chalet, which kinda makes people feel claustrophobic come to think of it=/. we played pick up sticks :D and i sat the luge with qin lu! hahahaha looking back down during the skyride sure was thrilling! i was so afraid my slippers would fall off. anyway, the camera snapped so suddenly at tower B or sth and later when we saw the shots, we looked kinda retarded -_- obviously the best part was going downhill! qin lu and i nearly crashed into each other at the bends, which made it even more fun! =D they also gave us the luge chop which was big, bold and black. it was BBB! (get it?) well nvm if u don't hahaa, i have a weird sense of humour.
Well after that, we went cycling! from siloso to palawan to tanjong and back again! tanjong beach was pretty ulu.. it was a good workout i guess, cos now my butt hurts. it's especially painful when you cycle on those manmade, uneven rocky paths because it's so bumpy. so i played cheat and lifted my butt up =) but the sitting back down part was an agony man!
done with cycling, we returned back to the chalet. i played a game of pool with grace. it started really well.. i did the stripes she did the coloured. mummy she even helped me score one. it was a penalty of course, lol. nearing the end, i was winning then guess what? we had another penalty thinggo cos grace shot the white ball in. the problem is the white ball didn't come out, neither did the subsequent balls we sacrificed. T_T in the end we had to call the technician down.. he helped us retrieve the ball and compensated us with another game. we got bored and rejectd it, so we got the refund! well sort of, since you only have to pay at the end of each game to get the balls out. In other words, we played 3/4 of a game of pool for free. hahaha.
Later it was tiem for the bbq! BUT we discovered that there was: NO wire mesh. NO tongs. NO charcoal. NO butter. NO firestarter. but YES we had satay, YES we had SALMON, YES we had chicken wings. YES we had chocolate fondue. oh the greatest joke ._. in the end the guys went to get stuff from vivo city and returned really late. Meanwhile we played card games and i learnt bridge! it's complicated, and i'm not good at it lalala.
when the got back we started the bbq.. all went well until we discovered that the charcoal was a lousy brand and couldn't stay red hot. uh so it was a failed bbq.. but we got to eat the chocolate fondue (: yummm. thank goodness there was catered food because apparently there was some event and the guest of honour was dr Vivian Balakrishnan. Obviously, the catered food had to be of some standard right =D so we waited until the function was over and the man in charge told us to help ourselves to the food. yay! eh there was a LOT of food left lo, we were merely helping them to finish. haha! now i can proudly say, "oh i ate the same food as a minister!" rofl.
oh yes i shall tell you abt this guy i saw at the pool. He climbed onto the handle bars(those you use to get in/out of the pool) and somersaulted backwards into the pool. ( btw that area of the pool was 2m deep) Initially i thought it was pretty cool but i learnt from the guys that it was really dangerous cos if he were to slip on the bars he would crash straight down and his head would have taken all the impact. In other words, he might get a serious injury of even die =/ man that's scary. but then again, no ordinary person could have done that =D must have muscles! i mean hello, he somersaulted.
