It's over! Part 3 (EDIT)

Day 2 of 6E chalet
Since Aik Hwee was snoring loudly throughout the night, I didn't get much sleep. Kept my eyes closed and did some breathing exercises to stimulate chi flow through my meridian channels. At round 5 plus/6, detected some movement and almost did a single leg takedown on the person standing at the mattress edge. Identified the leg as a friendly leg belonging to either John or Matthew, and hence did not execute the potentially damaging technique. Hahahaha woke up with very cramped legs from the 1/2 cleistogamous flower position. Went to wash up and discovered that Fel, Matthew, Seiyee, John and Limying didn't sleep at all the previous night. They spent the night talking and someone mentioned something about me and an IJ girl. Hmmm..
Sat there with Matthew, watched Cheryl sleeep and listen to the background snoring provided by Aik Hwee.
At like 7 plus, Matthew and I planned to stop Aik Hwee from snoring by launching an aerial projectile, in the form of a pillow, at him. I took the first throw, but somehow I confused my longitudes with my latitudes, my stalagmites with my stalactites and kimono with yukuta, so I ended up hitting Limying instead, waking her up in the process. So sorry Limying! Luckily didn't disturb Cheryl's sleep. The pillow did narry a thing to even induce a change in frequency in Aik Hwee's snoring.
Talked to fel for a while and basically did nothing till 9. I think Cheryl woke up first, plonked back down for a while, then rose back up to go wash up, before plonking back down on the bed. Haha :) Had to return bikes by 10.30, so we were off at 10 plus.
Another useful bit of information I discovered that I'll probably never use is that it is more difficult bringing the bikes down the stairs then up. Yeps.

After returning the bikes, it was back to the room to escape to Escape. They were having their 8th anniversary so ticket price was only $8.80, and because Cheryl used her mom's card to book, we got 4 complimentary passes to Escape. :)

Escape looks exactly the same since I last visited it 4 years ago? We went on the roller coaster first just to warm up. Proceeded on to the Viking, where the only thrill was the mist fans blowing at you while you queued. Then we went on some spinning thingy. I had a revelation at this point; the reason why they call it Escape is because you're meant to escape from that place! It's quite boring. Hahaha Poor Seiyee sat alone in the spinning thingy. Centrifugal and inertia forces acted on him, making him slide all over the seat.
Next we went to the haunted house, which I didn't wanna enter at first cos I was scared. No seriously, I have hauntedhousenophobia. Entered cos the girls really wanted to go and have a look. While queueing up, the introduction video warning you not to take photos (the occupants of the house are sensitive to light) played 5/6 times.
They broke us up into 2 groups of 6 each, so as to prevent occupants from being disturbed I guess. I went with Cheryl, Jiayan, Fiona, Seiyee and Matthew(?). Walked at the back. Inside was pitch black, first thing I thought of was the pupil reflex action. Hahaha yea, so the girls were looking down on the floor and just following the person in the lead. I had to prevent Cheryl from knocking into the pillars. The presence of marshals made it a little anti-climatic. One guy was like "Anyone else in your group?" And I have to confess I was ever so tempted to say "Yea, the one behind me" and point into empty space. Hahahahaha But nay, I'm not so evil.
Anyway can you imagine working in a haunted house? You face the possibility of getting punched by freaked out people thinking you're a ghost, or just punching you under the pretext of self defense, or tripping over expensive props which could lead to your boss freaking out, or having fake blood accidentally spilled all over you and people thinking you're one messy eater.
BUT you get to work in an air-conditioned place and if your boss ever catches you sleeping in a corner, you always have the excuse that you're replacing the mannequin, which you accidentally broke before your pupil had enough time to dilate fully. Yeps.
Went to the "Wet N Wild" or "Wild N Wet" ride next. Sat at the front with Seiyee at the back. Waved at 2 random girls in the canoe in front of us. They kept waving back. Hahaha went a second time with Matthew, this time sitting at the back. Got really wet. Conclusion: Sitting at the back makes you wetter; sitting in front makes you get caught on camera. Yeps.
On the way out, someone wanted to try and win an overly sized Winnie the Pooh bear for another someone, because someone knew that the other someone likes Winnie the Pooh. *Yes it's a very complicated thing, almost like a food web on page 352 of the bio texbook.* Plan was for that someone to pay while I threw the hrings. It's that kind of get the ring over the bottle game. Due to certain circumstances, the plan fell through and the Winnie the Pooh was left dangling. That makes it more like Winnie the Pull! Hahahahaha XD

It was the last ride we took before we escaped from Escape. Some of us were feeling a little hungry and the plan was to go eat. Bought myself a nice cup of Chinese tea. The marvels of tea. :D Started helping Cheryl to collect the money for the chalet from the guys so it will be easier for her. Tze Han was left with $1 after paying his share.
Went back to room and started playing murderer. Listened to Shan & Ros while playing. Radio kept switching off by itself and needed a few shakes each time to continue playing. Screwed up the stacking of the cards. Original plan was to make Matthew murderer but lost track of the Ace cos Shan said something funny over the air and as fate would have it, it went back to Cheryl again for the second time in a row. Terribly sorry, glad I could explain it to you before you left. Hope you understand.

Lionel arrived. Finally met him for the first time since that fateful day. He's very tall now. But I'm quite happy with my height actually. :D
Went for dinner which was pineapple fried rice again for Seiyee and I. This time we got even portions. Haha it really is quite delicious! After dinner, went back to the room where I had to start studying. Managed to cover chapter 9, 15, and a little bit of 4, albeit skipping small portions. Studied for 2 hours till about 10, when some had to leave. Aik Hwee was leaving so we were all quite relieved. Hahaha not that we have anything against him but it meant no more snoring! I felt like leaving as well cos there was nothing much to do in the chalet but stuck around as Seiyee needed me. Hahahaha just kidding! That sounded wrong. We discovered a towel which I think is Cheryl's. Yeps.
Anyway I went to bathe and we played a few games of Indian poker before switching to those crazy orientation games. Started out with "Black Magic", which only Kerina, Fel and I knew the reasoning of. Hahaha had a lot of fun playing this. Mostly it was Kerina doing the questioning and I, answering. Hahahaha Evil twin (His name's Aaron as well) made it more confusing for the rest by throwing in possibilities of word syllables, word count, question count etc. Hahahaha Got one item wrong as Kerina referred to the T.V. screen as being black. But I thought it was grey. So guessed wrongly. Hahaha Cos it's difficult to exchange info without giving the secret away, a lot of weird terms came out like "changing the tone", "continuous variation", "discontinuous variation" etc. The variation part came about after the TV screen incident. Hahaha
Proceeded on to the "How many maa-maa jumped over the wall". Discovered an alternative method to it. Then it was the "Bang, who died" which went on for quite a while. Hahahaha but I guess the best one was the "Open-Close" one. Hahahaha that one was dang hilarious. Hahaha then Kerina did that "MRT" thing on me which was yea.. Hahahaha
*I have to thank John Tan and Wei Jee for teaching me all those orientation games. Hahaha we were playing it during bio class, when we were supposed to prepare for the O levels. Those were the days.. Hahahah missed Wei Jee a lot, dang amusing guy. Hahaha 433 rocks my socks which I weighed down with a rock! :D

Was feeling very sleepy. So I went to sleep. As to what happened after I doze off, you would need to ask those who were still awake if you wanna find out. OR you can listen about my dreams. :)

Day 3 above!
