Family Chalet Day 2

This year's family chalet gathering was kind of a letdown, because instead of the usual Aloha Loyang, it was held at the small and crammed Coasta Sands resort instead. Stupid Wee was absent on Day 1 because she went to Cebu, so the two-headed Ah Sir managed to weasel out of staying overnight there by lying to Wee that I was the one who did not want to stay, and lying to me that Wee's flight would be late into the night and hence could not make it.

On Day 2, we returned there again for the buffet dinner, which was kind of a letdown too because there were no fried prawns in batter! We had an unexpected guest too, a fat stray resident cat which 4th Uncle brought back to our unit.

The cat gained Henglip's and 6th Aunt's affections

ALL learning (but lazy) to walk

The buffet spread

There was a guest appearance by Fong Fei Fei on a variety show later at night, which kept the uncles and aunties (except the mahjong folks) glued to the TV.

A lack of seats had forced them to sit on the staircase

Nevertheless, everyone watched enraptured (since when Ah Ping is in their league!)

Later at night, Ah Sir, Wee, Haoling and I sneaked out of the chalet to buy Blk 85's BBQ chicken wings to satisfy our cravings, and on the way, we were all reminiscing our fond childhood memories. It feels really nice and nostalgic to look back on those simple days, fun occasions and stupid moments.

When we got back, we shared the chicken wings with the rest, and we were particularly miffed when this 'auntie' selectively picked out the wings and brought them to the mahjong table, leaving us the drumlets. Although 4th Aunt was also questioning how come there were only drumlets, she and 6th Aunt finished them up cleanly. Luckily they did not scold us for not helping to finish the leftover beehoon from the buffet since we were that hungry.

Looking forward to the Aloha Loyang chalet in March!
