After finding Christie, Jeremy realised that on part of his bicycle had disappeared. It must have fallen off when Wei Theng flew off the bike when I made an unexpected turn. That sent Wei Theng and I back to Pasir Ris park to look for the missing piece. It wasn't that difficult to find. We only had to find the place where he fell to look for it. We didn't take very long to find it.
By the time we went back to the chalet, there was no more food. Couldn't they have saved some bit of food for me? We then looked around for a playground. We followed a sign but it ended up that the playground was a children's playground, and it was under renovation. Then we looked around for the pool. The entrance to it was closed as well. In the end, we went back to the chalet room just to find a whole group of people watching some horror movie and another group playing the x box. I decided to ask the people playing to stop playing and watch the recording of our concert and it worked more effectively than I thought it would. Most of the people watching the movie also came over to watch the recording. Maybe next time we should invest more in getting better recording devices. The video was not clear because the person did not know how to handle the video camera, and the sound was not clear because the microphone was an in-built mircophone. Maybe it was the television's speakers that were not good enough. Anyway, we had quite some fun watching the recording. After that most of us went back to the other room to watch "The Wisher". It wasn't scary at all, and I think that the storyline was quite immature. Any secondary student could have easily come out with a similar storyline. The show wasn't realistic either. It's always the same things happening and I got bored because it was so repetitive.
After the show, some people slept and some of them went out to play Twister. I was bored so I went cycling with Jeremy. There was not much fun cycling about. The place which was previously pitch dark was lit with so many street lamps, and there were no fun place to cycle at. In the end, we only cycled around Pasir Ris, stole a copy of The Straits Times, and went back to the chalet. I had to pay $1 to get into the chalet again. Maybe I shouldn't have gone cycling. By the time we got back, most of them were already sleeping soundly. I had a bath and read the newspapers. Most of it was on the tsunami and nothing else. I ended up sleeping on the newspapers for about an hour before it started to get very cold. I switched to squeezing on the bed beside Henry before Qi Qin woke up and let me have her place.
Later on was checking out and we checked out an hour late because the person who picked up the phone told us that we only had to check out at 12 when it was actually 10. After checking out, we went for breakfast and then again, some people went home while the rest went bowling. I followed the people who went bowling but I only played bridge with Andy. I think 2 player bridge is more fun than 4 player bridge. Anyway, after they have finished bowling, we all went home. I must thank all those people who helped me with my bags from the chalet to the bowling alley and Tingting for letting me put my bass clarinet in her house. I wonder how I would have gone home with all my stuff when I was already so tired.
I thought that I could have the whole house to myself when I was on the bus, going home but I was totally wrong. When I opened the door, I saw my sister and 2 of her friends using the computer. After a few minutes, my father and my sister came home. All my hopes to get some sleep were dashed. In the end, I used my computer until I had to go to my grandmother's house for dinner.
That was about all that happened on 30 December. I woke up at around 1 pm on 31 December, ate some breakfast and then went to Tingting's house to collect my bass clarinet home. By the time I reached home, it was already past 4pm. I used the computer until around 9pm before my parents finally allowed me to go to Hong Wei's house for the countdown to the New year. We did not really do much over there. We only played some games before switching to a Hong Kong channel to join in their countdown because there wasn't any live telecast on any Singapore channel. After that, we continued playing games and some mahjong. Before we knew it, it was already 6am. I managed to catch some sleep until Henry woke me up by passing me a bolster. I used it for a while before giving it up because Hong Wei's dog kept on holding on to the bolster. I was awakened again by Henry who suddenly jumped out of the mattress and said that the dog was doing something to the bolster. Anyway, I couldn't remember what happened after that. I only knew that I had to go home because I had to go somewhere with my parents in the morning.
After going out with my parents, I reached home at 1pm. I had a bath and then used the computer before my eyes became too tired and I took a nap till 5pm when I was awakened by my parents because they wanted to go to Takashimaya to shop. I got changed and we went there. I got an OP sling bag and 2 pairs of shorts. Actually, they wanted to buy a sling bag for my sister but I ended up with the bag because I quite liked the design and she was willing to change it with my grey sling bag. We reached home around 10.30 pm and I was already very tired by that time. I still used the computer till around 2 am before going to sleep.
I think this year is in for quite a good start. I am quite looking forward to going to VJC tomorrow, but I am not looking forward to leave ahband yet. Please let me stay in VJC and ahband.
