THE THINGS PEOPLE DO WHEN THEY'RE DESPERATE

The chalet last night/ this morning was good.

The tonnes of bbq food (with the unique inclusion of lady's finger, brinjal & tau pok) followed by mango pudding (courtesy of isk's mum) and faaaabbbbuuloooouusss chocolate fondue (with bananas, apples, strawberries, longans and toasted bread).

Amateur mahjong (with plenty of translation) with 2-half Malays from 11pm to 5am straight, with a variety of Lay's chips and frequent Hokkien vulgarities spouted by our dear Naz who lost every single round, was entertaining.

The biggest surprise of the night: Farena appeared! at 2.20am.

By 5.30am, everyone, except Far & I, was asleep. Refusing to hit the sheets or make do with the incredibly boring "Days of our lives", we had chocolates by the swing but soon decided Pasir Ris Park would be a better bet to kill time.

The park was hell entertaining.

We climbed the spiderweb-look-alike in excitement for the loonng slide, only to realise we cant slide down (because the slide is not slippery enough) and a stupid toad had to freeze me by jumping around in front of me.

When we saw this "satellite dish", Far, being the eager person she is, jumped to the highest point, causing a non-stop rotation. The dish spun more with our hard laughters and especially Far's almost-screaming-and-crying notion.

More adventures and we reached the chalet (the beach entrance) to find that the doors were all locked. The main entrance is too far and so came the finale/ the highlight/ the mad fun: Far suggested climbing over the tall wire barriers!

And so, we did.
To make things worse, my jacket and slippers kept getting hooked by the wires and we had to flee from the unwanted attention we made from the noise. This was at 7am. (Dear, I discovered a scratch on my inner thigh!)

Back at the chalet, we searched for breakfast like scavenges. And it was time to leave the sleeping friends behind.


Our tired but happy faces.

The drive back was disastreous as fatique set in. I thank God the constant changing of gears and clutch kept me awake.

I believe Far and I left the chalet happier than the rest.

TEN MONTHS ON

The subject was broached.

With no right words and questions, nothing was fulfilled or answered. The unconceptualised questions are still unfigured but I'm glad that the talk was initiated.

It was fortunate that things were already on the low then.
