Guess.
.
.

ALRIGHT ILL TELL YOU.

CHALET!!!!!!!!!!

ITS THE MOST PERFECT AWESOME EXTREME FANTASTIC BRILLIANT EXCELLENT FANTASTIVC BEAUTIFUL WONFERDUL MARVELLOUS ETCETCETCETCETC PLACE EVERRRRR.

You all should look forward to it I SWEAR. ;DD

ANYWAY. We took a MRT down to Pasir Ris and then we missed the shuttle bus many many times due to our holdup at SWENSENS (thank you Sean!!!!) and so we took a taxi, where there was a conflict between us and the taxi driver (info on Cher's blog. And im shamelessly advertising) but we got there. It's a very nice place!

Here I shall divide the post into many sections.

WARNING: LONG POST AHEAD.
But you all want to read it. It's about your life for the future 3 days 2 nights anyway. ;D

Aloha Loyang/Hawaii Reception Office
Our Bungalow (LB6) and etc
Waikiki Swimming Pool
Oahn Children's Playroom
Molokai Arcade Games Centre (yes, A R C A D E)
Mani Games Court (Soccer etc. ;))
Aloha Cafe
The Beach
Roundup, what to prepare, etc

FIRST THINGS FIRST.
1: ALOHA LOYANG/HAWAII RECEPTION OFFICE:

PLEASE CLICK ON ALL PICTURES (esp the MAPS) TO VIEW THEM PROPERLY AS THEY ARE A LOT BIGGER.

Cxy & Sean next to the Location Map.
Alright, about this. When you are at the Security Hut, aka the Entrance, turn right. You'll come across this big, beautifully carved map. It's really very pretty itself. ;D

Closer view of the 'Important Area', or so as dubbed by Cher. ;D Our Bungalow is LB6, the one just opposite the tennis court. Fifteen steps away from Waikiki Swimming Pool & Jacuzzies, Arcade Centre, Play Room, Aloha Cafe, Street Soccer Court & Beach Gate. How lovely.

Sean and I, giving our LB6 Bungalow the glamour it needs.

LOL. ER, YAH. That's CXY's hand btw.
A civil service resort. AWWWWW.

ANYWAY. When you turn right, you'll see the Location Map, like what I stated earlier. The Location Map is next to HAWAII RECEPTION OFFICE. This is, well, a Reception Office. :) You can borrow Badminton equipment, Soccer equipment, Netball equipment, Volleyball equipment, & Sepak Takraw equipment here. JUST BEYOND THE RECEPTION OFFICE IS THE WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL POOL AND ITS THREE JACUZZIES! But we'll come to that later. ;)

When you've seen the Reception Office, continue walking up the path. You'll see the tennis court to your right, Terrace units 9, 10, 11 and 12 up front. WHAT COMES AFTER TERRACE UNIT 12??

OUR SPIFFING BUNGALOW OF COURSE!!

2: OUR BUNGALOW (LB6) AND ETC:

Our Bungalow, namely, LB6 aka Fantail (a type of bird) is a Sea View Bungalow. It's supposed to have a good view of the sea AKA, very close to the sea. well, closer than the other bungalows anyway. :D

There you go, LB6 - Fantail!

AHA. THERE'S YOUR PROOF. With our very own model, CXY!

Sean and I, in the second 'Stone Area' as I have cleverly dubbed it. The Stone Area is basically just an area with no ceiling and lots of stone. If it rains, we're toast (or chicken soup) cause the second Stone Area just just outside the four rooms. -_- There's me, being stupid. I was pretending to do a prayer for rain btw. My face was spastic therefore you are forbidden from seeing it. :)

FIRST STONE AREA! Just next to the living room, also next to the Front Door. I don't know why the funny brown stones are there, therefore my confused look. Not that you can see it, meh. xD

Foreground, you see the First Stone Area! And someone who is not me. Hmm. I wonder who she is. Middleground, the walkway which leads to our rooms! Also you see the sliding door of the living room! Background you see a little corner of the Second Stone Area. :)

THE BBQ PIT! I know there's only one, but we can always improvise. :) Just outside the living room, complete with a bench in front and a table behind.

Here's the table I was talking about. :)

Alright, the driveway of the house! Don't mind the van, there were some painters there. They were renovating the house. JUST FOR US TO OCCUPY IT!!

Again, the view of the BBQ pit... Prettiful.

Just to show off my photography skills. Yes, you can see the living room. How nice. I bet a lot of you are gonna slack and watch TV while the rest of us work our butts off, trying to fan the thing. -___-

See. If you were to run from the BBQ pit all the way front, you'd meet the First Stone Area. -_- Goes to show we have to lock the living room sliding doors.

Side view of the house. You can see just a littttttle bit of the BBQ dustbin behind the wall. :)

The signpost just in front of our house. Yes, all the hustle and bustle is to our left. xDDD
Waikiki Swimming Pool is second on the signpost, and is also what we'll be going into next! :DD The highlight I tell you. I love the swimming pool.

3: Waikiki Swimming Pool:

BEAUTIFUL SPIFFING PLACE. AHHHHHHHHHHH.

PRETTY! Ignore the lifeguard thing.

ISN'T IT, ISN'T IT?? I so wanted to jump it. It's very very nice! And it was super hard to take pictures of the pool, cause there were some guys in it, and I bet they thought we were perverts. -______-

OMGOMGOMGOGMOGOMGOMGOMOG. ITS THE JACUZZI! There are 3. I thought this was the nicest. :) Right next to the pool!

LO AND BEHOLD! A slide! WOWW!!!!!!! It's the blue thing at the back btw. Cxy is the m o d e l.

CXY ON THE STEPS TO THE SLIDDDDDE! Aren't you excited!
Hehehe. And now I'm going to burst your bubble by saying that children above 12 aren't allowed on it. -____- Yes I was sulking too.

It's really very pretty. We should totally fill the pool with 2G-ness. Like mwahahahah. And the jacuzzi. Did I mentionthe jacuzzi? Cause we have to fill it with 2G-ness too!!
The pool is just outside the Arcade, Aloha Cafe and the Play Room! Also behind the Reception Office.

4: Oahn Children's Playroom:

LOL. Yeah, Finding Nemo and Sinbad were being screened. HAHAHA. I don't know if we can enter, there weren't any age limit signs. :D Seems pretty nice, with the little playground inside! Air- conditioned. ;)

5: Molokai Arcade Centre:

Haven't been inside, but we saw the machines. ;D Be happy, people. HAPPY. This is super close to our bungalow, along with everything else. :) Judging by the reflections on the glass doors, I think you can tell this is just in front of the pool. :D

6: Mani Games Court:

At long last, Cher is finally posting something worth reading!! LOL. See my hand? Yes. It was meant to point to that word. Sorry we couldn't take a picture of the court itself. Were a couple of guys playing soccer there and we don't want even MORE people to think we were perverts. -_- Right next to Aloha Cafe, which is next to the pool! Also very close to our bungalow. HEHEHEHEH.

THE FOOT REFLEXOLOGY PLACE! LOL. Just a path full of stones jutting out to stimulate the blood flow or something something. Just outside the Mani Games Court and im telling you about it just for fun. Just beyond my arm, you can see the Mani Games Court. Yeah, it's like a sneak peek, cause we really couldn't take a picture of the court. -___-

7: Aloha Cafe: For all your bicycle, mahjong, food and etc needs! Quite cramped. $5 an hour for bicycles and I dont kno how much it costs to rent the mahjong table but its 24hrs. :)

Here's the list oustside the Cafe. Nice huh. :DD

8: The Beach:

This gate is right in front of Aloha Cafe. Meaning, it's very close to the Mani Games Court. Which also means it is just ouside the Arcade, aka, fifteen steps away from our bungalow.

Yeah you have to memorize the timing on the sign. Otherwise if the gate closes, you'll have to walk all the way from the beach to the main entrance of Aloha Loyang. And I don't even want to think about that distance.
Get to that gate by 10pm or die a cold shivering death outside.

Ehhh. Not exactly the nicest. But it's really pretty if you see it for yourself. :D The Production Board could use this space. ;P

Exactly what the sign says...

...because the beach is simply littered with this kinda trees. :D

9: Roundup, What To Prepare Etc:

YAY! It's gonna be funfunfun. The only downfall I can see is that the FOOD is pretty far away. :\

We can probably walk to Coasta Sands @ Downtown East, which is where our chalet was last year. There's Macs and that Food Junction there. Problem is some people might not want to walk so far. We can also take the shuttle bus back to White Sands Mall aka Pasir Ris MRT but the 'earliest' shuttle bus to take back to Aloha after noon is 1:55 (which is llunch time) or 5:55, and I don't think many of you would want to spend your life at that mall, when there's so much to do at the chalet. -_-
I present you the shuttle bus schedule:

Of course, we could stress about it during the chalet. :) Yeah, but don't worry about starving, cause we all will firgure something out.

Also, please bring a at least $20 if you're staying for 3 days 2 nights. And that's only a minimum. That's $20 for two lunches, whatever snacks, tidbits, dirnks you want to buy, bike rides (optional, but recommended), and possibly, I SAY POSSIBLY, taxi fares when you're stranded. :)
There, $20 - minimum. And I strongly suggest brining more.
Think on the bright side - you're paying $10 for a three day two night stay at a big bungalow with lots of friends, a soccer court, a badminton court, a tennis court, swimming pool, jaccuzi, arcade and a beach at our doorstep. :)

Please bring your SWIMMING COSTUME if you've fallen in love with the pool/jaccuzi (like me) otherwise you might have to purchase new ones from Aloha Cafe. And I don't think they'd have our sizes. -__- Bringing your soccer balls is entirely optional, as you can rent them at the Reception Office. I don't know if they charge though. Bring extra money if you're going to stick to the Arcade. Please don't though. :) Bike riding is good! Therefore you have to bike ride! Rentals at Aloha Cafe, as stated.

ALSO: Please bring LOTS and LOTS of FOOD for the BBQ!!! I'm worried we won't have enough for the BBQ, and I hope we do. Please tell Cxy, Sean or Myself if you're bringing food (and we hope you do).

THANKS TO:
Jane - for agreeing to bring to OIL for cooking
TXY - for bringing the chicken wings and something else. Not very sure, I'll go ask you on friday. :D
Mike & his mom - for agreeing to cook our dinner for the first night. It's A LOT alright, cause it's to feed 37 mouths, and more than 50% are boys, who generally eat more. Everybody hail him now.

And I'll update that thank-you-list sometime again. CHECK BACK TO TIHS POST ALRIGHT! Super important.

ALSO: About the music & dvd thing.
Please bring any Music CDS you want to share, or you could just send the songs you want PLAYED to me (cher) so that I can burn them on a disc with other songs. Yeah? Yeah.
DVDs, you'll have to bring them and then maybe we can have a movie marathon all the way into the night. (Someone ought to remember the popcorn) Thank Yong Xiang for agreeing to let us use his Xbox 360 to watch dvds! -squee-

Alright, so that's it! Such a long post, tsk tsk.
Please visit this site to know more about Aloha Loyang in general:
http://www.aloharesorts.com.sg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=338&Itemid=733

And here's the close up of the Very Important Are again. Try to remember how to get there!

And also, when you're lost please call CXY, our KITCHEN MAMA, (or Sean or Myself, but best is CXY :)).

THANK YOU.
LOOK FORWARD TO THE CHALET.
BRING 6 BUCKS ON FRIDAY! 10 FOR THOSE WHO HAVENT PAID THE 4$ BEFORE EXAMS.
AND GOOD LUCK FOR GETTING YOUR EXAM RESULTS BACK!!

Silly Pick Up Lines
It's either you fall in love with your screen or you die a laughing death.

Date me or I'll shoot you!

I only have 12 hours to live! Please don't let me die a virgin!

If someone was to write a story about my life, the climax would be when I met you!

You’re a pot of gold in this enormous world and I’m just a little leprechaun.

Guy: You look like my first wife!
Girl: How many have you had?
Guy: None.

Guy: It's my birthday! How about a birthday kiss?
Girl: Is it really your birthday?
Guy: No, but how about a kiss anyway?

I bet my tongue can beat up your tongue.

I would buy you a drink, but I'd be jealous of the glass.

I was blinded by your beauty so I'm going to need your name and number for insurance reasons.

I think i'm gay, wanna prove me wrong?

Can I even get a fake number?

If a star fell every time I thought of you this weekend, it would be empty

Can I have a bandaid, I hurt my knee when I fell for you.

Global warming? You're the cause.

Go up to the person and ask for their hand. Draw a line across it and explain that it's a big river, and the bunny on this side (it doesn"t matter which side) really needs to get to the other side. Then tell the person how they think that bunny got across. And when they finally give up, give them puppy eyes and tell them that there was no bunny, but that you just wanted to hold their hand.

The Excuse List
Ways to escape school and the monster we call punishment.

I was late for class because I was fighting with a kid who said that you werent the best teacher in the world.

Please excuse Bob from school this week as he has to attend his grandmother's aunties' uncle's friend's cousins' dentist's pet's vet's mum's sister's daughter's speech on political rights and she will be talking about rather a lot of stuff.

Alec had constipation and exploded at breakfast. We have stiched him back together now. Sorry for any inconveniece caused.

Please excuse Jordan from school forever, because he has some weird disease called freckles.

I was walking to school when a baby jumped on my leg crawled up my back and sucked the homework out of my bag. I think it was a mutated baby.

I could not do my homework as my house burnt down and I managed to save everything except my homework.

My underwear was too tight, it was cutting off the circulation to my brain!

Excuse Zac for he fell down the stairs while studying for his algebra test.

I'm sorry I don't have my homework. Mom ate it, she's heavily pregnant and has very odd cravings.

I'm sorry I can't come to school today because I have toemonia!

Please excuse Bob from school from Sep. 1 to forever, he has to attend a religious sacrificial giving ceremony.

Please excuse Jennifer for missing school yesterday. We forgot to get the Sunday paper off the porch, and when we found it on Monday, we thought it was Sunday.

Please excuse Jimmy for being late. It was his father's fault.

I am not late, everyone else is just early.

Please excuse Lisa for being absent. She was sick and I had her shot.

I could not turn in my assignment because I mistook it for a letter for my penpal in Siberia, sent it, and I'm going to need an extension to get it back.

Superstitions
Self-explainatory. x)

Click on the categories to see the various superstitions!

Good Luck Superstitions

• Fingers Crossed - By making the sign of the Christian faith with our fingers, evil spirits would be prevented from destroying our chances of good fortune.
• Knock on Wood - It was believed that good spirits lived in trees, and that by knocking on anything made from wood, we could call upon these spirits for protection against misfortune.
• Saying God Bless You When Somebody Sneezes.
• A robin flying into the house
• Sneezing 3 times before breakfast
• Looking at the new moon over your right shoulder
• A 4-leaf clover
• Spilling wine while proposing a toast
• Putting a dress on inside out
• A horseshoe
• Peacock feathers
• Cutting your hair during a storm
• Sleeping facing south
• White heather
• Walking in the rain
• Sleeping on un-ironed sheets
• Avoiding cracks in the sidewalk
• An itch on the top of your head

Bad Luck Superstitions

• Friday the Thirteenth - The Scandinavian's believed that the number 13 was unlucky due to the mythological 12 demigods being joined by a 13th, an evil one, who brought misfortune upon humans. It was also said that Christ was crucified on Friday and the number of guests at the party of the Last Supper was 13, with the 13th guest being Judas, the traitor.
• Walking under a ladder - A leaning ladder forms a triangle with the wall and ground. Triangles represent the Holy Trinity, and violating the Trinity by breaking it (walking through it) would put you in league with the devil himself.
• Black Cats - In ancient Egypt, the Goddess Bast was a black, female cat. Christians, wanting to rid society of all traces of other religions, convinced the ignorant that black cats were demons in disguise and should thus be destroyed. In the process, they also destroyed the kindly ladies who cared for the cats, believing them to be witches. Being demons, a black cat crossing your path would create a barrier of evil, cutting you off from God and blocking the entrance to heaven.
• Spilling Salt - Salt used to be an expensive commodity used mainly for medicinal purposes. For this reason, spillage was to be avoided at all costs. The idea that it is unlucky to do so probably stems from the belief that Judas spilt salt during the last supper. Throwing spilt salt over the left shoulder is linked to its medicinal use. If it could not be administered, the next best thing was to throw it into the eye of the evil spirits that brought sickness upon us. These spirits were thought to lurk behind your shoulder, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
• A bat flying into the house
• An owl hooting 3 times
• 3 butterflies together
• Looking at the new moon over your left shoulder
• A 5-leaf clover
• Breaking a glass while proposing a toast
• Putting a shirt on inside out
• Red and white flowers together
• Hearing a rooster crow at night
• Cutting your nails on a Friday
• Putting a hat on a bed
• Getting out of bed left foot first
• Violets blooming out of season
• A picture falling

Animal Superstitions

• A dog eating grass - rain
• Meeting a dog - good luck (especially Dalmatians)
• A greyhound with a white spot on its forehead - good fortune
• Being followed by a strange dog - bad luck (especially black dogs)
• The spectral black dog (barguest) - a harbinger of death
• A dog howling for no reason - unseen spirits
• A dog howling three times - A death has occurred
• Believed to gain sustenance from sucking on their own paws
• Ghost bears are believed to reside at Worcester Cathedral and The Tower of London in England

• If a bird poops on your car, it is good luck.
• If bird droppings land on your head it is good luck.
• Ancient British Belief - Blackbirds are messengers of the dead
• Two blackbirds sitting together - good omen
• Bull's testes - aphrodisiacv
• If the first butterfly you see in the year is white, you will have good luck all year
• If the first calf born during the winter is white, the winter will be a bad one.

• Rabbits passing behind you - bad luck
• Keeping a rabbit's foot - good luck
• Rabbits were linked with darkness, witches and the devil because they live underground.
• A swan's feather, sewed into the husband's pillow, will ensure fidelity.
• Seeing a wolf - dumbness.

Hair Superstitions

• If you don't cover your bald head it will start raining
• If you shave your head on a Saturday, you will be in perpetual debt
• You shouldn't wash your hair the day before an exam.
• Hair at no age must be cut at the waning of the moon, which would prevent it growing luxuriantly.
• Hair cut off should always be burned; it unlucky to throw shorn hair away; otherwise, birds might make a nest of your hair, weaving tightly, so that you would have difficulty rising on your last day.
• Choosing to cut your hair (or nails) on a particular day means the following: Cut them on Monday, you cut them for health; cut them on Tuesday, you cut them for wealth; cut them on Wednesday, you cut them for news; cut them on Thursday, a new pair of shoes; cut them on Friday, you cut them for sorrow; cut them on Saturday, see your true love tomorrow; cut them on Sunday, the devil will be with you all the week.

New Years Superstitions

• Empty pockets or empty cupboards on New Years Eve portend a year of poverty
• If the first person to cross the threshold of a house after midnight on New Years is a dark-haird man and he carries a shovel full of coal, then a year of good luck will follow.
• Its bad luck to let a fire go out on New Year's Eve.
• You could ensure yourself good fortune by draining the last dregs from a bottle of drink on New Years!
• To dance in the open air, especially round a tree, on New Year's Day is declared to ensure luck in love and prosperity and freedom from ill health during the coming twelve months.
• Children born on New Year's Day bring great fortune and prosperity to all the household.
• On New Year's Day if, on rising, a girl should look out of her bedroom window and see a man passing by, she may reckon to be married before the year is finished.
• Breakage: Avoid breaking things on that first day lest wreckage be part of your year. Also, avoid crying on the first day of the year lest that activity set the tone for the next twelve months
• Money: Do not pay back loans or lend money or other precious items on New Year's Day. To do so is to guarantee you'll be paying out all year.
• New Clothes: Wear something new on January 1 to increase the likelihood of your receiving more new garments during the year to follow.
• Work: Make sure to do -- and be successful at -- something related to your work on the first day of the year, even if you don't go near your place of employment that day. Limit your activity to a token amount, though, because to engage in a serious work project on that day is very unlucky.
• Nothing Goes Out: Nothing -- absolutely nothing, not even garbage -- is to leave the house on the first day of the year. If you have presents to deliver on New Year's Day, leave them in the car overnight. Don't so much as shake out a rug or take the empties to the recycle bin. Some people soften this rule by saying it's okay to remove things from the home on New Year's Day, provided that something else has been brought in first.
• Just as the clock strikes twelve the head of the house should open the door in order to allow the Old Year to pass out and the New Year to come in.
• Kissing at midnight: To ensure that those affections and ties will continue throughout the next twelve months. To not do this would be to set the stage for a year of coldness.
• Stocking Up: The New Year must not be seen in with bare cupboards, lest that be the way of things for the year. Larders must be topped up and plenty of money must be placed in every wallet in the place to guarantee a prosperous year.
• First Footing: The first person to enter your home after the stroke of midnight will influence the year you're about to have. Ideally, he should be dark-haired, tall, and good-looking, and it would be even better if he came bearing certain small gifts such as a lump of coal, a silver coin, a bit of bread, a sprig of evergreen, and some salt. Blonde and redhead first footers bring bad luck, and female first footers should be shooed away before they bring disaster down on the household.
• First Footing: The first footer should knock and be let in rather than just using a key. After greeting those in the house and dropping off whatever small tokens of luck he has brought with him, he should make his way through the house and leave by a different door than the one through which he entered. No one should leave the premises before the first footer arrives -- the first traffic across the threshold must be headed in rather than striking out.
• First footers must not be cross-eyed or have flat feet or eyebrows that meet in the middle
• Squint-eyed, flat-footed, or red-haired men bring bad luck If they are first-footers, and so does a woman. But a man with a high instep, or one who comes on a horse, is considered particularly lucky.

Note: All of these are merely superstitions. Please do not get too worked up over them. I mean, Mike walked under a ladder twice and you don't see him sprouting horns and a tail.
