I can't seem to accept the fact that I am already 18. The lady at the chalet asked me if I was 18, and I thought about it for a while before giving a half-hearted positive. I don't know what is wrong with me. Looks as if I ave lost touch with my age. Can't be bothered about how old I am already. It is scary knowing that you are getting older and older.
The first day of the chalet was quiet. There were only 2 girls and me. What to do... I am the only guy with all the time in the world. Actually I didn't really mind. I brought my PS2 along and had an entire mattress to myself. Having a comfortable sleep is the most important thing. In the meantime, I learnt how to marinate chickens. That was a job I left to the girls in the past. So troublesome. Push the blood out, break their bones and massage them. So so so sadistic. And what's more? After torturing them, I have to make them comfortable by giving them a good rub. Psychotic. But it was fun. Haha! We made a mess of the toilet. YeS! the tOilET! We prepared the food there! And no... No diarrhoea after that.
The second day only became very lively in the evening. I think about 30 people were present and all of us had to crowd around a small area. Luckily our pit was at the corner. The food was great and I was super relieved there was enough food to go around. I ate about 6 wings when everyone was supposed to only have 3. Can't help it. I was HUNGRY. I was the water boy for the bbq too. The drinks container is a baby one. Only for 5 people to drink from. Sickening, had to keep making ribeena. Don't know how to spell it anyway.
The entire night was spent just talking and watching the guys play Star Wars. Ching Chui was talking to me about her investment company. Too good to be true. I didn't know that the returns are so high. It is so much more than the banks. It makes me feel silly putting my money in banks. Unfortunately, I have no movable money now, nor in the near future. They were also talking about university courses too. It is interesting, the fact that 10 yrs down the road, all of us would have different occupations, leading different lifestyles and handling different problems when all of us now are more or less the same. When I meet my friends 10 yrs later, do I want to be the most successful or the happiest? That is something to ponder about.
I spent the night sleeping on the floor! No pillow, just a thin sheet of blanket separating the cold floor and me. I am certain there is a swell on my head this morning. There was this sharp pain at the back of my head too. Came and gone. The ground during my field camp was much softer and I have more space. I remember stepping on Robin's head. I didn't know he was sleeping just at my feet. And Aaron was sleeping just beside me. Suddenly, I was surrounded and had to curl myself up and sleep.
I have guard duty tomorrow night again. Have to bring lots of things. *sigh* Last one for the month though.
