Back from the chalet

Actually, this should had been posted last night, but I was far too tired after reaching home to function, so this post has been delayed to today~

Anyways, our chalet started on the 15th (Sun), where we met up at 1330 at the MRT station before heading down towards the chalet itself together. Unfortunately, we were only allowed to get the keys after 3 pm, so we had to spend (waste) some time hanging around the arcade room in the premises. Even after waiting till past 3 pm, we still weren't able to get our keys and some of us decided to just climb into the unit itself (TRESPASSING!) where we got caught by one of the staff at the chalet, who eventually helped us get our hands on the keys to our unit (turns out that our ascent was rather helpful! =D ).

After which, we proceeded down to CosFest '07, where we see different cosplayers and get both shocked and awed (especially the final competition part, though there were more shocks and disbelief), and we also managed to catch some time to take with a potential collaborator for our club activities and also get a group photo with our people who went down and some of our alumni members who turned up.

I went home shortly (okay, not that short since I went for 2hr+) to watch some TV, but at least I managed to contribute when I went back by bring along a multi-plug since there aren't enough sockets down at the chalet room for a bunch (I mean a lot) of people to crowd together in a room with all their laptops.

The first night went by quickly with games on the Wii, card games, and some board games and before we knew it, it's almost the morning and some of us decided to catch some sleep. Shortly after, it's time to rise and shine again and we went out for an hour worth of cycling.

Lunch was prepared upon returning to the chalet. We had our own version of Japanese curry rice, with some potatoes, carrots, meat and rice (Duh). Lunch was actually quite tasty and nice, but unfortunately, we underestimated the rice consumption of our people and ended up with not enough rice for everyone, and some had to go along with bread and chips to go with the curry. (Partly due to some who decided to go for seconds even before everyone had their meal.)

Time till dinner was spent on some degree of anime marathoning, some card games (actually, A LOT of card games). Dinner was steamboat, but something went wrong with the appliance we brought down for the steamboat (it kept overheating and shutting itself down) and we had to turn to the stove for our steamboat. Unfortunately, it appears that the gas output wasn't enough to manage two stoves (or rather that particular stove is faulty or something) and we had certain troubles when we were cooking up our dinner. Quite a fun (and trouble) filled night it was. For all the effort, at least the dinner was good and everyone had their fill this time round. Thanks to all those who chipped in to help out!

The night ended for most by returning home for some well-deserved sleep after the hectic events while a few others decided to stay on to the last morning. Though there were significantly less people left in the chalet by then, they should still be able to have fun and enjoy in their own way~

That's all for this time round I guess, and sorry for that whole block of text! XD
