COUNCILLOR RETREAT FTW
First day, we had our chinese OLEVEL then met at SC room before taking Mr Chua's car to singpost to buy the stuff needed and our lunch.
spent about $189 just within our budget, then called for Mr chua which then came to pick us while some of the others took cab back to school cox the food is too much already.
with one 5kg of rice, 10 loafs of bread, 6 bottles of drinks, 4 wire gauze, 1 pack of charcoal, 3 bottles of syrup and many more.....
the bus was already here when we reach school, Mr Zaid was also waiting for us at the concourse. then we rushed back to SC room to get our stuff before boarding the bus and was on our way there.
we ate and chat on the bus and after less than 30 mins, we reached!!!!
as it is not 3pm yet, mr chua haven check in yet, so we waited at the entrance of the chalet.
Mr Zaid told us ghost stories and around 3.30pm, mr chua came and we entered the chalet. it was so so so so so nice!!!!!!
big with two stairs, one leading up from the living room while the other leading up from the kitchen.
but unfortunately, no TV AND AIRCON but nvm, the weather is cooling enough without air con.
we unpacked our stuff, went around to check the place.
around 4.30pm, we started our bonding time with the eagle catch the chicks game, followed by ice and water and aeiou and hide and seek with MR CHUA. it was like so fun, he was like so cute...lol scaring us when he found us with his sinister laughter.. lol
then after that we started walking to changi village via the boardwalk, it was quite long but as we talk, it did not matter to us anymore.
when we reached, we settle down at a coffee shop.
Mr Chua treated us drinks while we paid for our own chicken rice
then i dispatched them to gather the price of a few items that we need
one to 7 eleven, one to the other side and on to the opposite side
and then we bought the items and went back to the chalet.
we started with the discussion for orientation, change a few things, quite boring lah
after that had our bathing time until 10pm then started with our night walk meeting, also quite boring then around 1am, the girls went up while the guys stayed up to do the materials needed, did until 3.30am then we slept. and we slept in the living room.
5am, i woke up to see sunrise but there isn's any, then 5.30am woke up again but still, there isn's any, 6am woke up, there still isn't any
cooked breakfast but failed and had an argument with wingyin then went to sit in the field to watch sunrise.
after eating breakfast, we sent off wingyin and shirlyn and huixian for their work attachment.
then we went back to attend Mrs Lim's school improvement groups and potential sec 2s
played some games and had some discussion until 12.45pm then we had lunch and waited for the arrival of the sec 1s and 2s!!!!
at around 1.30pm, they arrived and we welcomed them at the balcony.
then was the external facilitation by of course, external facilitators.
we started off with the greetings game, the grouping game, the evolution (egg,chicken, eagle, superman, immortal game), the bonnie lies over the ocean, dumb dilee doo game.
very fun!!!, then broke into groups to play other games.
at around 5pm, one group of us started the BBQ fire while the other went to the other chalet to check the place out.
i cooked rice you see the picture below!!!
after that, the juniors had their bonding time while we do our stuffs.
then we distributed them into bathing groups and eating groups
the toilets were too little le lah!!!!
the queue is like 1 toilet 9 ppl queueing
sorry ppl, Exco got something on thats why they cut your bathing queue.
then gathered them at 9.30pm,
talk to them, joked with them then send them to shuling's ghost story session
i started patrolling myself!!!
i not scared hor!!!
this time i very brave!!!!
ACHIEVEMENT!!!
i also got scare ppl hor!!!
but almost went to room 3, the room that shuling says is haunted cox i got nowhere to hide, heng i didn went in worhx, if not, i dunno what will happen lehx
actually i also got stand upstairs myself but also got no feeling leh....
after a few groups, quite sian already lah....but still scaring them
after the whole thing, we went back and ShuLing say all of us should stay in Fpc7 and at first i don't want but after hearing the stories, i think it is okay.
so the guys took downstairs and the girls took upstairs
mr chua slept in the field with a sleeping bag
the exco guys, mr yee, mr chia slept in the living room
morning, exco woke up, the juniors dun seem like they slept at all.
shuling fried egg, me cheeliang yang jun mr yee made milo, ms anisa and mr chua and mr chia fried chicken wing and it was a wonderful breakfast!!!!!!
after that we played games like amoeba, eagle game again
and had debrief and

Finally, a FULL CLIQUE CHALET!!!!
actually, for your info, the photos are in the opposite direction, which means you should look from the bottom to the top.
FIRSTLY,
we met earlier to check in, do jia wei's card
then after check in, we decorated the place, yvonne was in charge of blowing balloon and i helped out with my pear-shaped breath which created a pear shaped balloon. Daniel is in charge of putting the balloons on the wall because of his height and he is SO CLEVER that he put a balloon behind the door which means that when ppl open the door, the balloon will burst!
after that, i went out to meet xin yu and jia wei, which is sort of the main character of the day! LOLs then we gave him a surprise at the chalet as you can see at the last picture
then we tried watching movie which is unsuccessful because yvonne's movies' subtitles is direct translation so we were like laughing most of time rather than watching.
decided to play poker after that then went out to cycle for 1 hour
went to the large playground, played swing, climbed the spider web then cycle back
went back to bath then went out to have our dinner at JUST ACIA
it is a very good place!!! FREE FLOW OF DRINKS AND ICE CREAM LEH!! I LIKE THIS!!!!
i made a lot of root beer float with it and had teriyaki chicken set.
though the chicken was a little too hard, it was okay lah!
went back to chalet again to rest, play and bath
after saying bye to siling, we went to bowl!
daniel won among the guys
persis won among the girls
and the last among us is jiawei,
he cant bowl lah!
he bowl slanted de
went to arcade until it close
then went back to chalet to watch TV and play poker
it was very hot very hot!!!!
cox there is something wrong with the air con.
at around midnight 3am, we went to MACS cox we cannot take the hot air con liao!
yvonne and xin yu slept at MACs and we ate and talk
went back to chalet, complained to the management
and the maintenance person came and fixed it,
it was then called a AIR CON
we slept at 4am,
say we will wake up at 5am to eat breakfast but end up waking up at 6am to send yvonne they all off and went back to sleep again until 9+am
played and packed up a while then went to have our breakfast before going home!
END
