♥ Smile like it's your first time.: Short getaway; in the small red dot ♥

Back to reality~! Had a refreshing short getaway with the poly mates and although the getaway was reeeeeally short, but glad that it happened. ^^ These 3D2N was well-spent at the Aranda Country Club and I've had lots and lots and lots and lots of fun. I was gonna go on and on but, you get the drift. Haha. So many firsts happened like:

- First time being the one to help start the fire and BBQ for people

- Learning how to play mahjong for real and playing it throughout the night

- Spending the night with classmates

- Buying alcoholic drinks for myself and the peeps

So much to love about this getaway thanks to the location, people, and so many more things. I'm not really a chalet kind of person, so I don't really know what kind of chalet there were out there, and because we were in kind of a rush, so we just booked whatever chalet we could, and thankful for my mum, we got the Aranda Country Club at just $80! I was so elated and happy to share the news with the peeps and we were having so many plans prior to the event and I did some research up on the place. Dumb move because I nearly scared myself for nothing when I saw some reviews talking about ghosts and all. *THANKFUL FOR ZERO-CREEPINESS*

First day was kind of a rush because the check-in was during the late afternoon (3PM), and the directioners (some insane name we call ourselves) went shop before getting our lunch because most of us hadn't eaten anything >< Had our lunch at Just Acia and the food was just awesome, with free flow of drinks and ice cream as a bonus! ♥ After all that, we went back to the chalet and started some games like blackjack, mahjong and all, and then it was photobomb session. Haha. I wasn't really that "enthu" for the first night so I slept kind of early like 3plus? In the end I tossed and turned till 5plus before my eyes closed LOL.

Next day all the early birds, including myself went out to grab some mac breakfast and kfc porridge for ourselves, but we got a disappointment when we saw the kfc closed. :( MAJOR BOOHOO. Then time passed and in the blink of an eye, it was time for BBQ! Halfway through starting the fire, we had a mini war with some ants and a disgusting hornet, and before we knew it we were all squatting down like some police catching some teenagers in possession of drugs. Too funny a sight for me to forget. Hahahaha. Finally I start to see more familiar faces of 1K05 and our preets SLs ^^ The whole chalet just felt abit more lively with them around. More is always merrier hahaha. After 4+ hours of BBQ-ing, I ran to the bathroom immediately because the smoky smell and sticky feeling was super strong >< After that, we had a looooong time chatting, playing, blackjack-ing, and playing mahjong. I swear beginner's luck exists because I was on a winning roll. Heehee. Had my first try on Heineken beer and it was damn gross. >< Tasted and smelt like garlic. It's just damn gross. I'd prefer long island tea and Breezer to beer on any other days. After one full round of mahjong, it was 8am and I went to catch a 1 hour sleep. *Mad shagged when I woke up* And not long after, we were bidding goodbyes. T.T

♥♥♥

All in all, this getaway was really awesome and one of which I will definitely remember for a long long time haha. It's just been a day and I'm already missing Aranda. :'( For you people out there, you can consider this place for your own getaway too because it's really an awesome place. Firstly, the pictures of the website doesn't disappoint because what you see is what you get. And unlike other chalets, Aranda gives a more homely feeling where it's just an apartment with two bedrooms - one with a queen-sized bed and the other with two single beds. (Apparently the girls got the one with the queen-sized bed heehee) The whole place felt lovely and not creepy at all. The location was really convenient with DTE and e!hub just in front. The only downside that I felt was probably when I found out we couldn't cook except boiling water. >< So that's all for today!!!! Gonna end off with some pictures heehee. ♥♥♥
