Back-o! From the chalet-o! Yay-o! Lame-o.



Quite alot to write y'noe. Think I'll have a separate part for each day. *changes to a french accent* I'm being very smart, no? I truly think so. Ah bien! If I want to be finished today, I must start now! *ends french accent* Dunno if the 'ah bien' part makes sense but hey, you're in MY world now. Mmm-mmm-mmmuahahahaha!



Bear with me, I'm dead tired.



Day 1 - 30th July 2004, Friday



My 1st sister and I went to the chalet first. The time was...6, I think. We started unpacking, taking inventory, cleaning, y'noe, the chalet blah. Something weird happened to my phone. The service provider's name on my phone screen changed from the normal STARHUB-SGP to MY CELCOM. Like hello? I was so puzzled and so was my sister who's service provider was miraculously now TM-TOUCH. Think the waves in the air or something get mixed up at this part of the island. So me, the ultimate Siemens expert, got down to fixing both phones, one in each hand. I changed the network configurations. And there it was, my darling STARHUB-SGP on both phonescreens! I did a little dance.



Then it was time to do the decorations for the party the next day. I was assigned to the lonely and literally breath-taking job of blowing up the balloons. Why lonely? Well I didn't know till then that my sister's got some sort of a balloon-phobia. I loved it! I just kept blowing the balloons in her face and pretending to burst them. I didn't burst any though. See, I'm scared myself. The end result, the chalet looked cheerful and WHOOPY!!-ish. Mission accomplished, we had some coffee and peanuts, the only readily eatable food we had so far. And we started dancing to some 80s Tamil hits. A bunch of north indian guys were passing by in their deafening motorcycles and screamed "Whhooo! WHHOOWWEEEEEAAEE!!" Somehow they managed to make themselves heard.



So the rest of my family and my 1st brother-in-law's parents showed up, gushed over the big and attractive layout of the chalet, had dinner, argued over who sleeps next to Madhu (I lost) and finally entered dreamland.





Day 2 - 31st July 2004, Saturday



The BIG day. I stayed in the chalet, helped out with the preparations, bathed, dressed decently and sat down, waiting for the guests to arrive. NOT.



The truth is, I went out with Jay! Like I mentioned in the earlier post. I told them I went to work, if you consider having lunch, watching a movie and being ridden home, all with someone who's company you love, work. Heh! We watched i-Robot. The movie was ok, I guess. Nice but nothing really fantastic. I loved the movie-watching experience though. Didn't you, Jay? ;-D Oh and Will Smith himself is half-robot! Now who wld have thought of that, huh? Like I always exclaim to Jay, "Power sia!" Ok, enough shit.



Before the movie, we had lunch. Well he had lunch and I had desert. See, I had just had a heavy breakfast of fried rice. I know, fried rice for breakfast is weird but what can I do if I was born into a weird-assed family? So he had the fish thingie burger and I had a Hershey's ® Sundae Pie, at Burger King. I had just finished one-fifth of my pie when he finished his whole freakin burger. I was like WHOA. And he didn't eat it like a pig, ya know? Very neat and clean. Guess it's the HUGE bites that did the trick.



After lunch we roamed around the place a little, looking at the small shops but never really going inside, being surprised to see really really old and huge handphones that are still on sale and talking some nonsensical stuff the whole way, normally the most bullshittish stuff put in by me. Finally it was time for the movie. We sat down, waiting to see either Will Smith or a robot when a movie called The House of Flying Daggers started showing. We were given the wrong tickets! So out we scrambled, Jay got our tickets exchanged and soon we were running to another theatre. So we watched the movie.



The movie ended and we were going towards the exit of the theatre. I was feeling really happy and satisfied. It was short-lived though. See, my sister's best friend was standing right outside the theatre entrance/exit, waiting to go in and watch her movie. I wanted to die. Pretending not to have noticed her wldn't have worked cos I shld have been blind not to. So I talked to her, with Jay beside me. She asked me who he was and I told her, "Oh this is my friend, Jay." Then came the shaking-hands session.



She pointed to the blue rose in my hand and asked with a smile, "What is this?" I totally forgot I was holding Jay's rose. I wanted to swallow it.



"This? Oh...nothing! Heh heh!!"



We talked a little more, small talk. Then we left. I felt bloody horrible. I went to the loo, freshened my make-up and emerged looking much better but feeling dreadful. Jay tried his best to comfort me, saying nothing will happen, I'll reach home soon, she won't say anything about me to my sister. After a while, it worked.



We got into his red car and spent an eternity getting out of the carpark. There was this stupid man in front of us at the...what's it called? Ticketing machine? I dunno. Well yeah, that man seemed sorta stupid. Ha, Jay kept making fun of him! Farny ,man! *thinks back to what Jay said* Hahahhahha!!



Oh shit. I've got to go. Must vaccuum. BAH. Will continue tonight or tomorrow.
