[[Class Chalet Day 2]]

Where we left off, it's just past midnight, so I'll put it in under day 2. We just finished cycling the long 7km stretch, and the lead group was still going strong.

We intended to meet the rest at a pit stop, or toilet where I always stop first on my own cycling trips. But before we had to cross this small road, with a proper traffic light and all, but with the added twist of wild dogs running loose all around. Jac went ahead first, and soon got chased by one of the dogs, really, it's probably the one time where I was actually scared during the trip. Maybe cos shortly after I got chased by one.

Anyway, we followed the path through the tall grass and ended up waiting for the rest just before the Sea Sports club. It was a good 15 to 20 mins, so some of us started playing music. MingWei kept using my phone cos it was in the basket where all of our stuff was. Yea we had a basket bike.

Cycled past NSRCC safra, and made our way to the toilet. Time was about 12.45am when we started again on our journey. I was intending to take the direct Tampines route through the underground pass and on to Pasir Ris, using the bedok park connector, but when we passed it somehow it was blocked up, so Malcolm and I had a drag race. Yes, don't ask me how those two things make sense with each other.

Anyway, I knew another way back to Tampines but that was the Siglap PCN, a good 2 or 3 km more than what was expected. So we cycled and cycled, past the kembangan MRT, VJC, and over a couple bike-friendly over-head bridges. The highways were really empty, totally void of cars whatsoever. Really an awesome sight.

By now we were all complaining of pains and I was no exception. The seat had really gnawed my ass, and my thighs were thrashed. But we pressed on to Tampines and landed up at the bus interchange mac. Time was 3.20am. Yup, 40 mins and we could have mac breakfast! But we didn't. I did have half a mind to stay there longer, but we couldn't, cos we all wanted to head back and rest.

So after another hour or so of cycling, we ended up at Ehub, and by then it was so early in the morning that there were no cars on the road, so we cycled all over the road and i actually got a chance to draft behind Malcolm all the way to the gate of Aloha Loyang. Simply put he wasn't all to happy about it. But I was, haha.

I took a shower at the poolside changing room, before heading to the chalet to sleep. Cos I was second to arrive, I did have some rest, so I could shower first and sleep first. Yes, those things don't make sense with each other too.

Slept till about 1pm, when the others wanted to catch the shuttle bus to white sands. But the guys sleeping in my room ( including myself ) were too wasted to bother, so we left later only to find out that the others had missed the bus and were having lunch at some restaurant called JustAcia. It wasn't fantastic food, but we were just hungry so whatever was fine. They did have free flow of drinks and ice-cream so that made up for the rest of the meal.

After the lunch the rest went to watch The Proposal. I didn't cos it was a chick flick, so the ending was definitely predictable. They were gonna get married one way or the other. totally predictable.

The rest of the guys went to play arcade for a while, had some fun with outrun 2 and we spent around 4 bucks each.

Then we went back to the chalet to laze around, watched a bit of Top Gear, before we followed the people who were leaving to the gate of the chalet. I didn't go to the gate with them cos I wanted to play football. Sorry guys. But I did have one of the best football games ever. Even though it was against a bunch of ah bengs.

After a while more we were essentially wasted. So at around 7.30pm we went for a swim at the pool. Played water monkey till the pool closed at 9. Did the jacuzzi too.

Then we wasted about an hour waiting for everyone to take a shower. Mingwei had invited had his friend James to stay over with us, his "smoking buddy". Anyway James had to leave at 6am the next morning to go back to the army.

So we walked over to Downtown East for dinner. Everything was closed so we ate at BK. It sucked. Then we headed over to White Sands 7-11 to buy some vodka for our drinking game later that night.

We waited till midnight for the bus. An ambulance came by and the paramedics were looking for a fake person i guess, cos they got off and couldn't find anybody to treat. so lol at them. Since it's past midnight, I'll finish the rest of the chalet in the final part of this post.
