I'm back from a good getaway from the bustling city and the stressful work responsibilities! Had a good leave since Thursday till today. Slept alot on Thurs and Mon and slept real little on Fri to Sunday keke.
Went for a family chalet on Friday...supposingly the cousins booked the chalet to stay over but we decided to ask our family members along for bbq. In the end, some of them stayed over with us cuz they said: "A bunch of kids staying over is not safe, they need parental guidance"....huh wat???!!!! I'm classified as a kid also and couldn't be trusted to take care of all the other teenagers. My cousins and I are mortified that we are still considered as very lil kids in our family opinions.
We had bbq for 2 nights. Went swimming, midnight cycling, hit the arcade, played mahjong, played pool and ate alot (esp cup noodles haha). I think I really turned real dark after all the exercises under the sun.
We had a horrible time on Friday night as we couldn't sleep though we have been asked to sleep. Grandpa stayed over the first night with us and ordered us to go to bed at 2.30am. Obediently, we went to bed but there was a problem, Grandpa didn't want to sleep with us cuz he claimed that there wasn't enough space so he slept outside of the chalet. We were ordered by our parents to give Grandpa a bed to sleep by all means we could. We weren't able to slp cuz we were thinking of all sorts of tactics to persuade Gramp to slp inside but all in vain. We tried sugegsting to go for a walk with him but he said no. We shifted ourselves so that he has space to slp but he said he still need to drink coffee and eat biscuits. By 4.45am, we were all tired and out of ideas. We fell asleep except for Darryl who stayed up to spy on Gramp. All of us woke up early. In the end, Gramp caught a cold and didn't stayed for the 2nd night.
On the 2nd night, we had an adventure. 2nd uncle said: "It's good for them to experience an adventure once in awhile" and so we were given permission to night cycle and indeed it was an adventure. We parked our bicycles and locked it so we could go to the playground to play. In the end, one of the keys were lost and Gerald's and Min's bikes were locked tog. We were miles away from the chalet and it would take an hour to walk back and we had 3 lil kids with us too. So we had no choice but to break the lock. Darryl, Shawn and Ken tried to open the lock with wires and stuff but in vain. In the end, I had to cycle back to the chalet real fast to fetch Aunt Jenny, whom has brought with her a multipurpose cutter (which belongs to Darryl) and cycled back with Aunt Jenny to the playground. The cutter didn't work despite all the cycling so we went to a provision shop to get a lighter to burn the nylon wires. Burning didn't worked either so we had to borrow tools from the provision shop to cut open the wires. It tooked us 2 hours to saw opened the wires. We left the chalet at 9.15pm but only returned at 1.00am.
On Sun, we checked out of the chalet and the cousins came over to my house while we wait for Darryl (whom has gone home to bandage his palm cuz it was injured while sawing off the wires). We met him at Causeway point and we went to watch "The Convenant". After which, we had dinner together and went home after that.
Now, I'm not able to regulate my mood back to working mood. I'm still in a holiday mood and I'm so sorry that the good times passes so fast. Good thing is, we are going to celebrate Shawn's bday and we have free tickets to Wild Wild Wet or Escape Theme Park! So we gonna hang out again! For now, it's back to work. Adieu to fun mode. Hello to work mode.
