Ah, the chaos of cilivisation.
Salutations. I have just returned from an awesome escape away from civilisation. It was a much needed and deserved trip for myself. This was a last minute, spur-of-the-moment thing, and I decided to embrace it. Ben anna invited me along, so I gladly accepted. I mean, it's not like I had school or anything. The original plan was just to celebrate Melanie's 21st birthday at the Sailing Club, but we all stayed over. I'm glad I did.
So after the party, Ben anna, Joanna akka, Nicholas, Gopi, Melanie, Aunty Mary and myself stayed over. It was so much fun. The front of the chalet was facing the sea, absolutely beautiful. And the back was facing Old Changi Hospital, absolutely creepy. So from our windows, when you opened them up, you could see OCH. Which is why we kept them closed. Haha. But, we drove up to OCH anyway, at about 1am. They painted the place, so not much vandalism now. Then we drove to the beach. Went for a walk and stuff.
Then we drove up to the coffeeshop to watch the Liverpool match. After which, we headed back to drink some wine and went to bed. The next day, after a quick breakfast, Ben, Jo, Gopi, Mel and I walked up to OCH. In daylight, it didn't look as creepy but it felt just the same. We decided to be heroes and went inside. We went all around the place, even to the 2nd and 3rd floors. There was a path connecting to the mortuary, but we didn't go there. Ben went around taking photos. Haha. There was even some vandalism on the floor saying " Jesus was here. " Haha.
So, after a long time of looking around, we headed out. We walked down the road and checked out other chalet's that we could book for our Youth Retreat. We found this awesome one. So big, so beautiful. We bought one can of Coke Zero and shared. We sat down and talked about Sri Lanka. Haha. Let's just say I love that I am Tamil, not Sinhalese. Haha. We went back and ordered Mac's, then watched a few DVD's on the player we rented. Gopi and I watched Kal Ho Naa Ho, then we all watched Pineapple Express, and finally Chalte Chalte.
Across our chalet, there's a Changi Boardwalk. So, we went for a walk. We walked all the way to the end, a very far distance. Somewhere near this awesome beach. All the while, Mel and I forced Gopi to walk infront to protect us from the dozen cockroaches hiding in the dark waiting to scare us. Then, we played cards. It was loads of fun.
I'm glad we had this break. All the while trying to scare Melanie. She's easily freaked by the way. She gets scared of even her own hair sometimes. Haha. We had a toy spider, which is now apparently Gopi's pet spider, Spidey. How creative right. We kept scaring the shit out of Melanie with the spider, by closing the door, switching off the lights and all. Haha. We even messed with her teddy bear, Ratty, named after the species of rat which she thinks looks uncannily like her bear.
The sad part was when we had to return home. But I'm sure we had a great time just spending it away from the rest of Singapore and with each other. We ate loads of Ice-cream with Brownie cake, and spoilt Gopi's voice even more. Now, at least he sounds sexy. Haha. We had breakfast at the coffeeshop before we left, then they dropped me back. The thing is, I didn't get much sleep those 2 nights thanks to the stupid building across the road, the stupid Changi place, and the ghost stories. So, when I reached home at 1pm, I went to take a nap. Turns out, I slept for 22 hours straight til the next day. Haha. I amaze myself sometimes. Haha.
So that's the end of my trip. Now, I'm back here in the real world. Sigh. Trust me people, when the world gets to be too much of a pain in the ass, just start your own exodus to an unknown land or ulu place. It will be so worth it. Til then, I bid you all adieu.
I'll never be the same. If we ever meet again.
