Back from chalet

Finally back from chalet... Been fun and relaxed until dragged coming back. The weather wasn't too good for the past two days so we din go cycling or walk out of the chalet premises (Downtown East). The facilities inside were enough to keep us occupied, especially with the Xbox console inside the chalet unit itself. I brought along 2 games and made full use of the console.

I always find staying here just like in the city, except your "home" is nearby. Food is easily available, be it fast food or normal food court or even restaurants. We had Lemongrass for dinner on the 1st day, my treat for Web's birthday. It was almost 7pm then we realised we were hungry as we were too occupied with the Xbox games. We then had Ben & Jerry's ice cream for dessert and bought some snacks back for supper.

Parties were already going on outside from 5pm+ as there were quite a no. of occupants bbq-ing as well. Surprised that its still so crowded on weekdays and not even school holidays yet! Our neighbours were in fact quite noisy, all the way till 2am+. Luckily we were too tired (and probably thanks to the Baileys) and managed to sleep amidst the noise.

The second day we woke up quite late, ard 10am+. Went for brunch after a morning shower but I wasn't that hungry. Ate abit and we went back to the room for a nap. It's almost 4pm+ when we woke up and prepared to go for dinner. Went to the food court but nothing looked appetising to me so we shared portions. Bought KFC back and a burger from Burger King but we only managed to finish the burger and left the KFC in the fridge. Ended up I brought them home. Luckily the noisy neighbours only stayed for a nite and we had a peaceful sleep for the second nite.

We bought quite a no. of titbits and drinks, plus a bottle of Baileys I bought quite long ago (think from the 2004 Perth trip). We din finish the titbits and half a pet bottle of fruitade but settled the rest. Had to woke up early on the 3rd day as we had to check out by 10.30am. Checkout was surprising faster than check in. Wanted to take the free shutter to Pasir Ris mrt but the stupid bus did not stop at the designated time so we took a feeder bus back. Had lunch at White Sands food court b4 heading home.

Took a nap in the afternoon after reaching home and met sis for dinner at Orchard in the evening. Had dinner at the newly renovated Pasta Cafe and the food was so so la. Too bad we missed the late nite shopping as its not the last Friday of each month so we only hanged around last at DFS b4 taking a bus home.
