Anime Chalet damn cool~
Wah shiok! Let me start from Mon 13th. Woke up pretty late in the morning and quickly packed chalet stuff and was asked to bring my laptop over too. I met up with Jo and Sel in bugis to look at presents for a while. Ard 2:30pm I bid them farewell and I went over to Tampiness. Met up with my Anime Comm members and we took bus 29 to our destination. The bus journey very long but we really enjoyed chatting. Finally we reached Aloha Changi. The bungalow we got is pretty cool~~ very big! 5 bedrooms plus one living room and kitchen and 3 toilets!!!!
We settled down and set off to buy BBQ stuff at ard 5 plus~ wah shop like crazy. The trolley was stuffed with food and some shoppers gave us a shocking look. Who cares~ By the time we returned, some more members came already and they started the fire and started cooking some chicken wings as told beforehand. Great. More and more ppl came, so rowdy! Some sponsor ppl came and 2 of our comm ppl went to chat with them. They stood there and talked for 2 hours! Gosh... den after food, we went into the house and watched animes. Ard 10 plus 11, ppl started to leave. The rest were staying back. We were separated into 2 grps at first. One watching anime;the other playing cards. Finally as the time ticked in the late hours, ppl started taking turns to bathe and change other interesting animes to watch. In the end we pia Champloo. 15 episodes. By the time it ended, it was ard 6-7am. Some ppl were already concussed. For me I concussed after the whole anime ended. Ard 9am I woke up and the rest decided to haf breakfast in Changi Village and left directly after that. For me, I played with my laptop and looked after the house while 2 other members were sleeping and 1 was awake with me. Finally ard noon they returned and bought me the roti prata I requested for breakfast. Ahahaha I think it was my lunch too! We continued to watch other animes like Ghost In the Shell, Tsukihime (some vampire anime - very nice, not scary one), School Rumble etc. Sch Rumble damn funny, we laff and laff. soon evening came. Ard 5 plus we all went out to see the yacht club area, the sea, the dirty beach. We didnt managed to play Frisbee, so we decided to go Changi Village for dinner. I didnt eat cos mum cooked at home for me already. Ard 7 we got back to the chalet and a bunch of us left, including me. The rest left at 9pm I heard. Ahaha too bad for those who wanna turn up after that.... we all haf left!
The waiting time for loop bus 29 was long, the bus journey back to Tampiness Mrt was also long... Mrt too..... But the Mrt journey was more interesting as me and 2 other members were chatting abt life in NUS. As usual, I told them the famous experiences of being archi student. Me and one member got off at Clementi and we continued chatting. He lived nearby my area too. Finally we bid farewell. When I got home, I watched the last episode of drama serial on channel 8 before having my late dinner. After that was abit shagged off but still managed to climb up and start blogging here. Will be going to bathe again...... den sleep.
Overall, I think this chalet is so much better than the previous 2 and I really get closer to my comm members and made new frens. Rather happening and fruitful one. Thanks Sam! Ur hard work paid off!
Oh yes! We collected the anime club Tshirts during the chalet too. Wah the printing not bad. Happy~~~
Right everyone, good nitez!! :)
Ps: Bren and Dan! I got the Inu liao!!
erm, the skin u came up with urself? aiyoh, ididnt even really shop much for my present lah..haha..hope the guy wont be disappointed when he gets the present..
yep the skin is designed by me. The original pic done by the person has similar layout and I only used the 'border' that is at the top and bottom of the chatbox and blog entry scrolling areas.
aiya, I think the receiver will understand the difficulty of buying presents one. Dun worry!!
