[[Class Chalet Day 1]]

I'm gonna do a series of posts for my class chalet. Cos there's quite alot to talk about, or I think there is...

K so I met my class at around 2.30pm at Pasir Ris MRT, after waiting for about half an hour. Dilly Dally-ed for another few minutes before heading off to take the shuttle bus that brought us to Aloha Loyang.

Sean and some of the guys went to Check-in when we arrived. The others just waited around like drones..

Then we went to the Chalet, it wasn't poolside cos those were expensive and we didn't want to spend. So 300 bucks for 2 nights got us a garden terrace one with a view of the carpark, 1 toilet, 1 shower, and 2 rooms ( one with 2 single beds and one with 2 double-bunks ) Fun huh? NO.

We spent the rest of the day lazing about, some played mahjong, some watched the basic cable tv, and others played cards in the room that we turned the aircon on. Yea, they measure the aircon, only allowing 50 units or else they'll charge you. Justin, Sean, Malcolm and Myself went to recce the place. We found the bike store and the kind aunty said that she can give us a $2 discount on our bikes cos we have more than 10 people renting. So we paid $18 each for our bikes for the overnight cycling thing.

Obviously, we had alot of time to spare, so the guys went to the football court to play for a while. I played until DeYun's foot skin tore off, then I accompanied him back to the chalet. Took a shower
then waited for the rest to comeback so we could head over to rent the bikes.

By the time that happened, it was around 7.30pm. We went to the bike rental shop next to the pool to rent the bikes. About one and a half hour was wasted getting the bikes, 2 tandems and maybe 9 singles. We cycled to downtown east, chained up the bikes and went for a late dinner at the foodcourt. Time was about 9.15pm or somewhere there.

When we were done, we walked for awhile before starting the journey proper. The route was Pasir Ris - Changi Village - East Coast - Bedok - Tampines - Pasir Ris.

The beginning of the trip was pretty easy for me, cos I've done this route many times. But I knew the rest hadn't, so the lead group went slightly slower. When we arrived at Changi, Julian and Mingwei were complaining like there's no tomorrow, about ass pains from sitting too long. So we stopped and went to buy drinks. I bought ice mountain for 40c, 40c! What a steal!

When everyone was feeling better, we headed down the coastal route to East Coast, the challenging 7km stretch. We did stop a couple times for people to rest, and a class photo or two. Of course there were many planes taking off and landing as we were next to the runway. And we saw the police escort plane parts down the road, pull a car over for waiting at the side of the airport.

By the time we finished the stretch, it was close to midnight. maybe 11.50 or thereabouts. So there's day 1 gone, wait for the post on the second day cos there's nothing much different. just more activities with less people!
