Went to sleep at a really, ahem, ungodly hour of 5am on the chalet day itself(at home still, of course)due to the discussion online!
Lazed in bed when I woke up at noon since it was a pathetic attempt at maximising my sleeping/resting time before going out! Unintended weightlifting the night before enervated me, and sore arm muscles were screaming for TLC. Lunched, packed bag, went online to play DotD...and was disrupted by my ex on msn. My mood was slightly dampened as I wasn't interested in communicating with him since I broke up the relationship due to several issues which couldn't be solved due to his attitude in dealing with problems.
Anyway, I had a pleasant snack, and got off the net soon after to finish packing. Showered, made sure that everything was done and I went out! Was abit sad to head out in the dark since everyone was going home, and I'm not exactly fond of leaving the house at night...furthermore, a day was ending, and initially I was supposed to meet the guys by afternoon but couldn't make it in the end.
Reached lakeside station at probably 7.30pm, took to harbourfront, called the guys & met them at vivocity's giant supermarket! To be more specific, I walked past GM without realising since I was expecting everyone to be at the supermarket =X The nice guy carried my heavy clothes bag & we went to find Justus & JM! What I found to be the most ridiculous food item bought was icecream, since it'd melt.
There were too many things so we brought the bbq items filled trolley to the kopitiam. The service was really horrible for this thai food stall, as I waited for my food for more than 10 minutes and almost fell asleep standing there. If I had not paid for my order, I would've gone off to another stall. The person after me ordered the same as I, so I was kinda cursed to wait even longer as the cook prepared pineapple rice for 2! When I got to the table, I noticed that the Ming bros & Justus were almost done eating =S
After dinner, we bought bbt & waited for Michael & his gf, and ZR. The bros kept disturbing Justus since we all suspected that he may be smsing YY XD Michael & his gf arrived a while later, and we made our way to our chalet since ZR was going to be even later. The monorail ride to sentosa cost us $3 each, and I noticed that there were staff with painted faces w/respect to halloween. Pity that nobody I know will be doing halloween!
Took the bus when we alighted the monorail, and got the shock of my life when I entered the Siloso Beach resort room. It was TINY, almost like a hotel room!! There was only 1 toilet, and 2 single beds. That meant that us girls would have to sleep next to the guys =S I was somewhat uncomfortable sharing the same room as the guys since I didn't want them to see my innerwear when I had to go and bathe.
ZR arrived about 5 minutes after we got into the room, and we had a round of monopoly. After it ended, and since I wasn't that interested in playing anymore, both of us went to fetch YS from the bus station on sentosa, near our chalet. Before that, went to the ladies on the ground floor, and the silence plus the blackness of the cubicles made me expect something to pop out. There were 2 adjacent cubicles, locked, I presume...and silent. No signs whatsoever on the doors. Called YS when we reached the bus station later & learnt that she was almost at our chalet. Before making our way back, we went to look & walk up this slopes as shown below!
Got to the top. Pity that there are no stairs to skip the slopes lol. The space was plenty wide, & totally suitable for sparring whatsoever. There was a really long man made
meander which looked good for floating in XD Hills on the sides of the slopes were completely black and eerie looking, so I couldn't wait to get out of there.
Walking back, took a pic of a buck teeth fish, which happened to be a shop's mascot XD
The rest went to the beach for sparklers. Made my way back to chalet to change to slippers, as accompanied by ZR. The sparklers were unreliable since parts of them went off while burning, and I daren't hold one as a result. Some of the crazy guys kicked sand all over, and ZR's slippers were hidden lol! After that, all went off to the "island"! GM & ZR made the bridge joining the island and the main land oscillate, so I followed suit for fun XD
We didn't stay for long up the tower as the air was still, so we went down after 5 mins or so! Back to the bridge, GM then ZR, followed by me. Most baffling was GM suddenly took off, then proceeded to jump up & down at the end of the bridge(like a monkey, no less), leaving ZR, the rest and I, stunned! The grossest part was having to touch ZR's sweaty shirt as he intentionally stopped in front of me, and the line was held up!
Finally made our way back to the main island, and all the guys except Michael kept play bullying Justus XD to the point that Justus was going around in circles lol! Checked out the pool on the 5th floor, then back to chalet where we took a card to determine our queue no. for showering, as suggested by Justus, who was incredibly unlucky in the end since he got the last no. !
While bathing, I heard most of them talking about my bathing speed XC puh-leeese, I've got makeup to remove, and I have long hair! Pretty glad about the showering area, since I could adjust the strength of the water. Took quite some time drying my hair when I got out. While YS was bathing, we watched The Orphan on HBO! Pretty cool show. Too bad I was slow to whip my camera out of my bag to snap Justus' kneeling outside the toilet, begging YS to bathe quickly lol!
We all had a lovely chat in the dark when YS suggested to stay awake. I daresay that some of my answers aren't the best, as I now know what's the most important aspect I would like in my future guy, and the only hint I will admit on this very public blog would be something close to my heart XD
Grew tired, and people were falling asleep one by one, so I went to rest on half of the tiny single bed. YS was supposed to be beside me, but fell asleep on the floor, so ZR took her side. Noise from people's breathing due to REM sleep kept me awake until much later into the morning. I was still awake at 8.30am!! Hunger played a part in keeping me awake, but I chose not to eat. GM & ZR were talking somewhat noisily, but later ceased their conversation. I was partially embarrassed when I looked up to check out what the noise was about, and said "What??" in this really high pitched voice, and hid my face under a jacket afterwards lol. Managed to fall asleep.
Woke up to find GM beside me. YS was on the floor in a cocoon of blanket, just beside Justus. Think Michael played this alarm music on his phone to wake Justus later on! ZR, tired from staying awake the whole day, slept on 1 of the beds when everyone was awake, eating breakfast & watching Jamie's Great Escape on TLC!! Would have been better if I had an american breakfast or some sort for the morning, haha, since I was starving =( Think I "fasted" for 14 hours, and drinking juice is not counted. Nevermind, that's a new record for me XD
Everyone went off for a swim while I went to shower & get ready for the day out! Pity that I couldn't swim, but oh well, I had a good time laughing at the crazy guys' antics & helping them to take pics. Followed YS back before picture taking since I was holding the key, but who would've known that it didn't work on the door! Luckily, Michael's gf, Jasline, was already in the room before I went out so she helped us open the door. Below's 1 such example(with most of them looking towards the camera). 
After swimming, back to chalet, where a no. of them washed up, then went out again for lunch at Koufu! Before that, we walked past this aviary, so I snapped this parrot! 
Sat down for a mini show, then we left for lunch! Here's my ebi curry don ($5.90) 
Which, I daresay, is tasty enough...but would have been better if I could bite! Think I ate a little messily =S The lack of biting does make food seem more bland, since there is a smaller surface area of mechanically broken down food to taste. Can't wait to eat normally again! Off to washroom, then later bought watermelon juice...at $3. Dark clouds were gathering, and conversation fell flat at the table as everyone was kinda sad that a no. could not make it in the end. We made the most out of the situation & played some volleyball & frisbee game on the beach, which I quite enjoyed! Left when rain fell & back to the chalet. Played indoor games, I think? Evening, we set up a makeshift bbq grill at the huge shelter, some place at the beach. Below's an example of how dark it was at night, minus the flash
A pic with flash! 
Luckily I brought my torch, so lent a helping hand to the guys dealing with the charcoal XD 
Looks warm & lovely XD
We were found out by some patrolling guards, so we gathered up out things & went to the back alley of the chalet to bbq!
Amazing darkness...
The spread of food, as cooked mainly by YungYen, Justus & JM! Didn't eat much due to my braces...think in total I managed 1 taiwan sausage, 1 otah, 2 corn, 1 squid pack & 2 potatoes =( Shouldn't have eaten the squid! Meanwhile, Alicia was showing the few of us in the room about some people from the old NJD group, not to mention some videos about NJD as shown on Ch8! Felt a sense of sadness, both from the tendency of the older students to look back into the past & being part of this new group which isn't half as good as the current blacks...it just isn't right to cause others to feel a sense of regret. Wonder what should I do sometimes, because I know that I can be fast, but always failing to be fast during kicks since I'd be tired out from the training, which aren't very vigorous...or I should just exercise more, sleep early, & eat more complex carbohydrates! Hmm... I mean, this is something which I'd been wanting to join since July 2006( to brighten up my dreary life, no less, as I cannot live without Science & the Arts), and I finally did on Jan 21st 2010, after much waiting, evening classes from JC on Thurs & tuition class on Sunday, disapproval from parents & even more stress from trying to divert my thoughts to other "safer" sports, but was eventually led back to NJD. Who knows, maybe I'm just this person born with many crosses(pains in life) to bear.Back to topic, after the guys were done BBQ-ing the food, they got back...and we all forgot about marshmallows! YaYan came to the chalet just after BBQ though. Michael & his gf, and YungYen left after BBQ. I went off to the toilet to floss teeth, then I had to put my foot in my mouth & said that I wanted to bathe, and missed some exciting parts of "Truth or Dare" when I could have remained in the room, still dressed in the day clothes instead of pyjamas T.T I have nothing against pyjamas, but it was rather awkward to be the only one fresh from a shower!For "Truth or Dare"...I chose truth 1st, which was to pick a guy in that room that I would like to kiss *sweat*! Picked ZR cos I knew him the best out of the 4 remaining guys. Picked a dare when it was my turn again, and YaYan pointed out that suddenly everyone looked more interested in the game. Am I such a boring person?! Gosh. I know I tend to keep quiet because many people would be talking at a time when in a fairly big group, and I'd be the one passively listening at the side since it's pretty impossible to get a word in edgewise(and to reduce the noise level). Furthermore, I'm not exactly a chinese speaker, so it does take some time for me to comprehend the things that are being said. When I was showering, I could hear everyone speaking excitedly in chinese XC not that I can't understand some nor am I against it, but I would appreciate if people do not judge me before getting to know me better 1st. Sometimes I wonder if I'm hindering their enjoyment though XC stinks to be the minority. Anyway, in total, I gave away 1 kiss and got 3 in return...the one away was on the back of ZR's shirt... for the other 3(with 3 other people), 1 was a peck on the cheek while the other 2 were on the lips omg. Didn't see any happen haha! Changed to charades, which YS joined after a lil persuasion since she guessed quite fast, & I noticed that I kept my eyes closed while imitating alphabets! Felt like some silly small kid when I did that XS Justus & YY were quite funny, ZR reminded me of jelly & GM was like a mime lol! Back to "Truth or Dare", and the last few things I remembered doing were doing this nose to nose thing to GM which is something like an eskimo kiss, & getting tickled by almost everyone there dotssss. The former was quite amusing, as YY or Justus commented that GM blushed even though the room was semi dark lol! I heard that I did this chop with my leg to ZR during the latter, which I thought was weird since I couldn't see a thing while struggling to fend myself from the mutiple tickles. 5 of us had a late night chat, and was surprised about a few things, I daresay...but after much consideration, I guess I can look past some things, since I initially felt weird from the chat. They're all lovable people in their own way, and everyone's imperfect. Just hope I can remember this!Prayed before sleeping when the 4 left for the beach to play with sparklers at 4.45am! Felt stronger in faith after the mini chat, after feeling empty for quite some time. Set the alarm for church which I would go to in BoonLay. Had the whole single bed to myself, and was next to GM, who was next to Alicia. Heard weird noises coming from the kettle(as though boiling), so I got up to off the switch. Grabbed my rosary from my handbag and slept with it, since I felt slightly afraid. Dozed off.Woken by chatting, and saw my handphone & got somewhat annoyed, since it was 7.30am & I had to wake by 8.15am so I could reach back on time for church! Pity that I didn't have the willpower to get out & join some for breakkie =(( But I was thoroughly exhausted! Snoozed, then woken by hp alarm which I could barely hear, and back to sleep. Were it not for my mom's morning call at 8.30am, I would've slept through =X Rushed to prepare, & when I was fully dressed etc the rest from breakkie came back, & 3 occupied my recently vacated space on the bed LOL! Ate my cookies N cream hershey bar as breakkie, then GM accompanied me to the monorail.Got back to lakeside at 10.30am, dad fetched me to church, and for the 1st time in a looong time, I was early for mass by 10 mins!! Awesome! I struggled to stay awake though, almost fell asleep when we had to stand. Back home, in the afternoon, I slept for 4 hours straight!
