The Split Personality: Air Weapons Club Chalet

Chalet was full of slacking and dozing off but it was still fun. All of us were just watching movies (Death Note), playings cards, not just poker cards but tarot cards too. So it was just sleeping, playing cards, eating, watching, playing cards and sleeping again in a cycle. The only interesting thing was the BBQ-ing.

BBQ event was quite "epic":

This was how our bbq pit looked like:

We were bbg-ing on the floor cause apparently the chalet unit we booked didn't come with an actual bbq-pit (-_-") so we all sat on the floor and started making our fire by dumping all our charcoal and fire starters in 2 of the trays. All went well until we proceed to cook our food.

THIS WAS WHAT HAPPENED TO 4 OF THE FLOOR TILES UNDER THE TRAY:

For peeps' sake, what were we thinking? It was obvious that we weren't using our brains. It was either we lacked outdoor skills or we just couldn't be bothered to put something below the tray like a concrete slab as Wee Leng had suggested before we bbqed. I knew that shooting desentizes ppl to violence and even makes ppl commit violence but I didn't expect the skills we've obtained from our CCA-training could be applied so quickly and naturally in BBQing where we would create a little destruction quite unconsciously...

This was how it went before the destruction, when we were having a good time cooking:

Quite a number of us, including me, were sitting around our BBQ pit, cooking, flipping over some of the food and chatting -

"This chicken wing can liao?"

"Think so, but that one chao ta already"

"Just leave it there n see who wants to eat it"

"Somebody go put the nuggets on the wire mesh"

"Kay, pass me the tongs."

.....

.....

"Hey those tongs u're using, got use to 'kiap' the charcoal."

"Wha? Shit! I put dunno kiap how many nuggets already leh!?"

"Err...what now ah?"

BOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!!!!!!

All of us jumped.

It took us a few seconds to recover from the sudden shock. We looked at what was once our BBQ pit. All of us were stunned, shell-shocked and awe-struck at the mini disaster we had made. For around thirty seconds, we couldn't utter a word and we looked at nothing but the pitifully damaged floor tiles. After an hour plus of cooking, those tiles under the tray couldn't withstand that heat and it expanded and then.....you know, the picture explains it all...

It was not just us who were staring at the floor tiles. Our neighbors beside and opposite our unit were drawn by the explosive sound and stared out of curiosity and shock too.

"Err...what now ah? REALLY!?"

We were screwed for certain, and the food that was cooked on that BBQ-pit that time of course could no longer be eaten. So we began clearing up the mess. A kind lady staying next door helped us to clean up a little mess and contributed to rebuilding the bbq-pit, and this time, the new pit was supported by two bricks below to avoid later damage. We then cooked the remaining food available. (Quite a good thing Samuel ordered a pretty large amount from the caterer) Now, we switched the chefs. Some of us who had cooked earlier on were too frightened to cook. A few had sustained some damages too, like Jing Ting and Felise who had burns. :( I was freaking lucky that I was wearing long pants so the BOOM didn't hurt my legs. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed ourselves, learned something from the BBQ and all was pretty well in the end.

Very "memorable" experience indeed.

There was supposed to be an Amazing Race but there were too little people. Only 3 Year 1s came and none of the Year 2s came. It was really sad. We Year 3s had planned this out and spent alot a time and effort on it. Some of us were really pissed when only 3 of the juniors attended. Seriously, we planned it all out for them and the Race was cancelled in the end. All our efforts were wasted, especially Audrey's. She took alot of time to plan out the games and cycled around Pasir Ris Park for a few times just to plan out the locations for the game stations. SIGHS.
