TR01 CHALET!!!

Hey peeps! Sorry for the long wait.. The pictures are finally up! haha.. Shall blog about TR01's Chalet!  

On wednesday, Rais, Alvin and me met up at jurong east 1st.. Alvin was at the arcade playing his Initial D game.. I can never play that game luh... So much skill needed... D:
Rais came soon after and we had lunch, well Alvin and I had lunch.. I don't wanna mislead.. 

Anyways, after lunch, roamed NTUC for marshmallows, charcoal, and firestarters, which we're tasked to buy...  Marcus met up with us later on and Rais passed him the charcoal and firestarter and Rais had to go cox he has something on later and going Pasir Ris would be rather out of the way...

Bought my small-pack kind of shampoo and soap from Guardian then proceeded to the train station platform.. The journey to there is super long, we went from west to the extreme east.. After we reached, went to the Chalet via bus.. Then walked in and found the room, F01, after awhile.. Walked in and saw quite alot of them playing cards and balloons were everywhere...


The girls playing cards...

No more pics cox was busy playing captain's ball... xD Fun man! Reminds me of Pri Sch days de Captain's ball too...

Then we went back to Chalet to put our stuffs and went to Bugis, which is like around 12 mrt stops away from Pasir Ris.. XiJing and Weiwei left 1st as they had something on... Reached Bugis.. Ate at a steamboat restaurant there... Due to our large number, 11, the staff opened up the 2nd floor as there was no space on the 1st.. So we actually had the whole of the 2nd floor to ourselves! xDD  Took lots of food and we had 4 kinds of soup to put in.. Tom Yam, Sichuan Mala Soup, Chicken Soup, and Fish Head Soup..

Look at all the food!

Woots... lol

Me sitting in front, as Marcus said, 1st time I'm shorter than everyone... lol

Xinying wanted to take a piece of pig liver using chopsticks, it was too slippery and dropped in the cup... Looks gruesome..

Walked to Bugis Junction and took some random pics of fountain..

Randomm..

Green man to the right! [Isn't it what the sign is trying to say? xD]

We're trying to find a bus direct back to Pasir Ris.. Roamed for don't know how long then crossed the road attempting to get to Shaw Plaza, but halfway across, the light turned red.. So we're stranded and I flashed everyone.. Took pics! lol   The passers-by looking from either side and the drivers were giving strange faces..

See the cars?

This is a very nice pose, but the camera din focus properly.. D:

This one did not capture everyone.. D:
But nevertheless, we had a good time!!

Stopped by the Starbucks there and rotted..

ATM..

This cup is cool! Has coffee in many languages..

[l-r from top] Ivy, Alvin, Xinying, XianQing, Reuben, Minwei.

We could not find the bus back to Pasri Ris so took MRT back.. At downtown east, went to the new E! Hub beside it, explored the closed shopping mall, then played around with the travellator..


Paiseh for the blur shot.. Marcus is Superman! xD

Ok, Marcus's mouth is big enough for half of the burger.. D:

Ivy, Reuben and XianQing having the burger too! :D

This was freaky, those cardboard  with life-size humans printed on them... Somemore in the middle of the night.. 

Er.. Putting a message across? jkjk

Inside, the girls went to bath, I played starcraft awhile, then we played mahjong cards...

Ivy buried under balloons..

Then, Balloon fight!

War and Mayhem with Starhub Balloons..

Fun!

Marcus had something on the next morning so he slept... We buried him in balloons..

Reuben was tired and slept in.. lol

Xinying practising balance with Wilson..

We slept awhile, then at 5.30am, we woke up and walked to Pasir Ris park, in a bid to catch the 1st light of the day.. The picture above is waves crashing taken with flash..

Some harbour i think..

Waves!

Zoomed out harbour..

Some light... Damn blur pic..

We then proceeded back to the Chalet to sleep.. At 10+, Marcus and Reuben called me and Alvin up to bath.. Yes we didn't bath on the 1st day.. D:
We then said goodbye to Marcus who had to go back to NP, then had breakfast at McDonald's
The girls woke up later and went to one of the restaurants at the mall to have brunch, we guys just sat there.. I read the papers! :D

We then proceeded to the bowling alley.. Lots of nice pics.. As the action were blurred.. xD

Scoreboard..

Bowling balls..

Went back to the Chalet to play cards.. Then we had our bbq!

I don't know what caused my camera to take this.. But the embers look purple in my camera..

Xianqing brought this...  Me 1st time tried alchoholic drink.. lol..

The bicycles.. Put at the outside of the neighbouring chalet which has no one.. xD

Afterwhich, Alvin and Ivy shared some cups of half cup vodka mixed with half cup soft drink.. And then they went to drink from the bottle... Which was when everything happened.. Well, they went drunk.. There's lots of unglam pic but I won't post them.. [I have a conscience ok.. xD] Alvin's and Ivy's bickering while drunk machiam drama serial.. Then Alvin went to sleep after some persuasion but Ivy was hard to handle.. The other girls, namely Joanna, Minwei and Wendy [Xinying, Xianqing and Leanne had to go home before everything happened..] had a hard time making her sleep, or even to pin her to the bed.. At least 6 hours passed before she was a little tired.. Rais and me cleaned the toilet! lol. It was the remnants of Ivy's vomit.. D:  And serviettes are useful! :D  

1st time drink and 1st time see how people act when they're drunk...

Went off to cycle with Rais, and Alvin after he finally became sober and able to walk normally.. Seems that it was the first time both of them got drunk..  We went cycling the whole length of the Pasir Ris park..


Asked Alvin to pose with the bottle after he was sober..

Ivy became abit sober soon after, well, like 3am.. Then they slept while Alvin, Reuben and I went cycling around Pasir Ris until they wanted to go back and rest awhile.. So we went back to the bitter cold of the room and slept on the floor... That was like 6am+

Woke at around 8+ and washed up, packed up and chatted abit about yesterday's very very long night before going our separate ways.. The girls went home via Ivy's boyfriend's car while the rest  of us guys went to Pasir Ris.. Marcus and Reuben went by train.. Alvin and I took buses home... Took bus 12, which stops at Bugis.. lol.. Like if we knew earlier we'd take 12 back to Pasir Ris on wednesday.. Then Alvin had a stomachache and we dropped off near Kallang Mrt for him to settle his business before we took 197 home.. Long ride, but doesnt matter.. Bus concession rules!

Went Gary's house later in the day to pass him he camera for him to use for his grandma's birthday...

Slept in..

No Gym.. Sad.

Today wanted to go gym with Gary.. Gave him a wake up call at like 12.20pm and he said he dunwan go gym.. -.-"

So went down to his house after I've had enough fun with my computer, then transfer him the classical music in Nodame Cantabile and went je for lunch.. Had McDonald's and then the time between 4pm to 4.20pm was cut off by some mysterious force... Then we went to the model kit shop on the 2nd floor at JE entertainment centre to find the model he wants to save up and buy.. $319.90 sio.. So ex.. Somemore need money to buy paint etc.. Tsk..

Went down and looked at the country songs compilation again.. $59.90, 6CDs but no $ to buy.. They're here until sunday and gone... Haii... Saw the screen of the game shop showing GTA 4! Walked there to take a closer look and Yingying said Hi to us.. lol, she was walking to the popular bookshop when she bumped into us.. Talked abit before deciding to walk and talk at the same time... xD

She bought her printer ink while I flipped some astronomy photobook.. Dam nice the pics.. xD  We then took 79 home together.. Said goodbye to Yingying and went ShengShiong to buy ice cream lol.. Long time no eat, so buy some to eat.. :D

Tomorrow is the chalet day and I havent packed my bags.. Oh No... D:

And I have sort of a love-hate feeling for this phenomenon called Déjà vu.. ...


Work and Random..



As you can tell, I've run out of post titles.. D:

Today went to work at 11+.. Reached Ritz at 12.38pm and rushed to change and have lunch.. Expected to work at M-floor and I did... Was abit sian cox like no one to talk to except for a few.. Set up one of the rooms for the higher-ups in Ritz to use later for meeting..

There was setting up for food tasting in the evening, which is like the families of both families in a wedding come to try out the food that will be served to them and the guests on the day.. There were 3 kinds of settings and different kinds of cloths/organza and different kinds of napkin folds.. Looking at some of the new kinds sort of tempted me to want to learn how to fold them.. xD

After which, some people from M9 downstairs came up.. Woots saw Hongjie and Kira. Finally got people to talk to lol...  Went to help out in the room which will be hosting the food tasting session and asked Tun Lynn how long he worked non-stop, as in w/o off days.. He said "28." I was like :What The?!"  Then he said he had not went home for 5 days straight, as in he stayed "in-house", which is an option if you knocked off at midnight and 6am you have to start work.. Or something similar.. I was even more "WHAT THE?!" lol.. They very pia lor... Luckily after today he'll have 3 days of off..

After steaming some of the chairs, was told to go to one of the meeting rooms to help clear up.. Then we arranged it into meeting style, 7 seats to a table, 6 tables in all.. We were told that this meeting tomorrow is VVIP, as all the um, directors and the higher-ups of the Ritz Carton branches in almost all the Asia Pacific region will gather there to meet.. Saw the same motto, credo etc stuff that we had on the day of the training.. Seems like propaganda on a higher note will happen tomorrow.. lol

Had to change all the chairs.. We needed 40 and 20 passed, the metal colour had to be gold, unlike some which is grey. They must not shake, not even slightly, they must not have tapes at the back.. Took pains to find the 20 "missing" chairs.. Found them and stacked them and moved them and arranged them..

When Hongjie, Kira and me brought up the buffet tables, I don't know, I just feel like deja vu again.. Shit.. Sometimes what happens in my dreams months back just happens months later.. And that moment my mind will flashback.. Feels strange but good.. Well, sometimes..

Was instructe dto go and find some buffet tables.. After which, we had to find glass which we could not find.. Actually we did not find hard enough as we forgot that one of the stores had lots of organzas, cloths, chair covers, cloths, and cloths in monkey cages, racks and trolleys.. The glass was inside... -.-"  After bringing the glass up, we chose the best and most presentable ones to put on the buffet table.. Luckily there wasn't alot of people and we used the guest lift =x..

Then we had to make one of the store, called the uncle store, neat and tidy.. It looked like a mess, but 6 of us and an hour later, all the cloths were folded nicely and shelfed up, it looked so much presentable and spacious.. Then the outside corridor had to be arranged neatly, so we had to arrange the chairs in stacks of 8, and the tables had to look nice.. I think it is for show to the VVIPs tomorrow, if they do actually.. I won't know as I'm not working tomorrow! xD 

Looking forward to TR01's chalet! YAY!!

And found this on Yaowei's blog which referred to Glenn's blog:

1) Guys may be flirting around all day, but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about....
2) Guys are more emotional than you think, if they loved you at one point, it'll take them a lot longer then you think to let you go, and it hurts every second that they try.
3) Guys go crazy over a girl's smile(:
4) A guy who likes you wants to be the only guy you talk to.
5) Giving a guy a hanging message like "You know what?..uh...nevermind.." would make him jump to a conclusion that is far from what you are thinking. And he'll assume he did something wrong and he'll obsess about it trying to figure it out.
6) If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice.
7) A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.
8) GUYS LOVE YOU MORE THEN YOU LOVE THEM!!!
9) Guys use words like hot or cute to describe girls. They rarely use beautiful or gorgeous. If a guy uses that, he loves you or likes you a whole heck of a lot.
10)If the guy does something stupid in front of the girl, he will think about it for the next couple days or until the next time he spends time with the girl.
11)If a guy looks unusually calm and laid back, he's probably faking it and he is really thinking about something
12) When a guy says he is going crazy about the girl, he really is
Guys rarely say that
13)When a guy asks you to leave him alone, he's just actually saying, "Please come and listen to me
14)If a guy starts to talk seriously, listen to him. It doesn't happen that often, so when it does, you know something's up.
15) When a guy looks at you for longer than a second, he's definitely thinking something.
16) Guys really think that girls are strange and have unpredictable decisions and are MAD confusing but somehow are drawn even more to them
17)A guy would give the world to be able to read a girl's mind for a day.
18)No guy can handle all his problems on his own.
He's just too stubborn to admit it
19)NOT ALL GUYS ARE RUDE!!!
Just because ONE is RUDE doesnt mean he represents ALL of them
20)WHEN A GUY SACRIFICES HIS SLEEP AND HEALTH JUST TO TALK TO YOU, HE REALLY LIKES YOU AND WANTS TO BE WITH YOU AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
21)Even if you dump a guy months ago and he loved you he probably still does and if he had one wish it would be you to come back into his life

Haha, would like to hear views from both guys and gals.. As I think its rather accurate.. xD


And for that email.. PS for being so bad.. D:
