The Choir Chalet
~Prelude~
Am so glad that the choir committee actually came out this idea of having a chalet during this period of our semester break. It was specially arranged for graduating choir mates who will be leaving us at the end of year, a farewell actually.
Received a huge surprise upon reaching, as I could see our chalet wasn't very far from OCH whatever they named it, it was old change hospital. It was certainly not the best place but we were not frightened. We had an enjoyable stay there as my days were never boring.
~Insights of Changi Village~
There were a couple of nights when we went down to Changi Village. Already knew that there will be transsexual around, we were warned to be extra alert and cautious at all times, dark alleys there are quite dangerous as well.
Indeed, we spotted a couple of them along the streets, hiding behind some road signs a group of them waiting to be approached. There were rows of shop houses further down the road, we made our way in and spent the rest of our time wandering around that area. We headed back to the chalet only at the stroke of midnight.
~The Excursion~
On the 2nd night, we were supposed to go down to old change village as they had asked me along earlier, turned down the offer and instead decided to lead another group of 5 as they wanted to cycle to east coast park. That idea was not carried out as we were too exhausted after travelling half the journey.
Some went back to the spooky old change hospital as part of as spooky excursion. Heard from friends who went in, a place filled with booby traps, damaged pipes, shattered glasses and many others lying all around the place. It was dark and silent; one of them even felt the existence in there.
~A Wild day out & bbq~
On the final night, we had a shopping mama game before the bbq which I'm looking forward to. It was fun, everyone was so enthusiastic and participative in playing the game, having to solve riddles and codes in coming out with a list of items. It was fun and enjoyable. At night, we had the BBQ, I was BBQing the food and the food turned out great!
~Resolution~
Time really flies. 3 days had passed as the chalet came to an end. Enjoyed my stay there, besides I had a great time there with all the choir mates and certainly it was something that doesn't come by all the time. After all, what matter most is the love for choir and music.
Choir is a place where I can find peace, comfort and love. After being together for quite sometime, they could tell when I was facing with lots of struggles, especially with my personal stuff. And because of that I tend to be emotional most of the time. Nevertheless, they never failed to shower their concern. All of them would express their concern in one way or another and it really touches me.
Perhaps through this time, we have grown together, bonded with each other and I am so glad to have found another place to call home.
ohwell, feeling rather moody this couple of days. Someone hasn't been replying…
