27 Jan 2013 - CHALET

CHALET

And so begin our long block leave, before we began our next phase called OJT phase.

Well, seeing that we had leaves all together, and not many other bases and camps are going to get leaves, we decided to use it together, in the form of a chalet.

Nobody was willing to spend too much so our budget was pretty tight, yet we still ended up booking a chalet in Sentosa, which absolutely blows my mind, but I was just going with the crowd. Haha.

We all met at Vivo City before heading to Sentosa together. Everyone was pretty ready for it... okay not everyone, everyone except Kelvin. I am not sure if I am right but no one wears an army shirt and army FBTs to Vivo right?

Okay, so moving on, we reached the beach.... and we found out that we had no idea where our chalet was. To make things worse, it felt like the Sun was out in full force. I mean FULL FORCE. So basically, we were... lost and burnt. HAHA. We did make our way to it in the end, but using the longest route available and after using the shuttle bus, where we didnt even alight at the right stop. Lesson learnt: Plan before doing. (Oh... how proud my sqn should be, of me.... Just saying. HAHA.) Oh, we did plan one thing though, not to sleep.

Upon reaching, nobody bothered about anything else except getting their shirts off (no, not trying to show off our bodies, but really, the weather was just unbearable). We took a quick shower and jumped straight into the pool, which happens to be available at the chalet.

And the feeling of being in the cold water, swimming and playing around for a couple of hours, was ECSTATIC. It's like scratching a itch in your back that has been driving you crazy for hours.

Afterwhich, our BBQ order came and we had to start preparing. Well, the food wasn't very good, but no one really bothered. When you have 10 guys, with alcohol, not a lot of people are going to bother about how the food taste quite honestly. Although something disturbing and funny did crop up during the BBQ. So it began when we started cooking mussels. Before someone actually tried to put it in their mouths, a loud shout of "WHAT THE F-?!" was heard. There were like mini crabs in the mussels. Well, it made everyone lost their appeitite to be honest, and everyone headed back into the room.

Well, the room was VERY crammed and there was nothing much in it, except a TV and a fridge. And a toilet of course. We took turns to shower and started 'chill-ing' in the room. Apparently, one of us brought his PS3 and everyone took their turns at Tekken. HAHA.

As it got later and later, you saw the bodies started dropping and eyelids started closing. The more energetic ones decided to take a walk around the beach, though I was quite awake, I decided to pass. Mostly because I was hooked onto my 仙剑奇侠专3. So I just went on a marathon and rushed like 10 plus episodes, until the group came back.

"What the.... Everyone sleep alr?" To my absolute horror, I turned around and saw everyone sound asleep. Yeah, so once again following the crowd, I decided to sleep too. So much for not sleeping huh? HAHA.

The place was very crammed so, I had to make do with the floor and to say I didnt get a good night sleep was an understatement. Most of us woke up pretty early around 7.30am, though mostly due to hunger. HAHA. So we went to the seats by the pool and just laze around there, complaining about how hungry we were. Since most of them were lazy to walk to McDonalds, nothing was really done. When some of the shops closer started opening, we rushed there and had our breakfast, which by that time, everyone was awake.

There was pretty much nothing to eat so we ate a quick breakfast and head out for beach volleyball. And it was an embarassment. We couldnt even keep the ball up for more than 3 hits. There was a lot of fail serves, passes and set-ups. Pathetic to be honest. To add insult to injury, there were some activities and one of which involved them watching us play and pretend to cheer for us. UGH! Just the thought of it was..... D:

So..... the day passed quickly and being a 2D1N thing, it was home time.

I wasn't one to go home early, so I called up Kenneth for lunch. Ate lunch, walked around Vivo and that pretty much sums up the only meaningful thing I did during my block leave.

Sad. I know.
