Hey guys! O's are over!!! It's a great feeling, to think that u have been slogging it out for the past couple of months for this very day to come. Indeed, absence makes the heart grows fonder. "Absence" here of course refers to the lack of freedom.

Just came back from chalet yesterday morning. It was fantastic. A whole 4 days, 3 nights at fairy point, changi. Did lots of things there. Night cycling on the first night was shiok man! went from changi to east coast and back again. The pic on the left was taken at east coast. Kayaking on day2 was fun, splashing water at each other. It's been approximately 2 years since i last kayakED. hahas. Surprisingly, the moment i got hold of the paddle, my instincts just led me along. The skill has not left me after all these years. Didnt bring me cert there, so i had to make do with the sit-on-top kayak which i shared with samuel, and erm... shuhan for the last few minutes. she just sat there lah! maybe a small fee would have done justice to the service i gave. hahas. At least samuel was better. he acted as a human shield for me, otherwise i think i woukld have been soaked thru before half an hour was even gone. Thanks mate, i know it was hard on you. haha. BBQ on the 2nd night as well. dang... burnt my finger. Not the first time though, and it wasnt as bad as previous occasions.

3rd day, most of them stayed in the chalet. or in fact, should i say ALL except for a few guys. Couldnt stand the four walls in there, so i went out to changi village with jason, jeremy, joel and kewei. Had lunch there, and then rented bikes at $6 for 3 hrs. Reasonable. Very. Went to the old changi hospital to do some exploring. CCTVs were everywhere so we didnt dare to go in. Stayed outside and didnt even realise we were acting as food for the mosquitos until jason spotted them on his legs. haha. Dinner time! we wanted to go to ubin for fried rice, but there werent anybody else at the jetty to share the boat with us. In the end, we went to some restaurant at changi village, and had ginger crab, butter prawns, cockles, clams, sambal sotong, and kangkong. the entire bill came up to $102.10. 3 of us paid a combined total of $30, while jason settled the rest. His treat. hahas. great meal.

Ok... enough of the chalet. Been hooked onto a couple of songs recently. "Child in Time" by deep purple, and some by scorpions. Their latest song "humanity" is simply fantastic. Log on to youtube to check their video.
