Symphomania

I was at symphomania chalet over the weekend. Work on Friday was sianz....stress because there are so much things to be done and I couldn't finish it. To add it up, some rude customer called up, wanting to unsubscribe from the email alerts. I understand his fustrations, but that customer need not be so rude at all cos he actually used the f word at me. Some people just doesn't understand how difficult it is to manage customers and take service quality for granted. we are humans who have feelings too. stupid damm customer!
anyway, although my day at work sucked, i still head off to the chalet after work. The bbq already started when we got there. everyone just hang around eating and talking. they attempted to have a mambo night, with average response but it was fun and there were drinks. however, some of them drank too much and even drove a car out to get some beer. obviously we tried to stop them but to avail. Luckily they made it back safely but the guys still stayed outside talking loudly and we were worried that the security guard would come round again. i played mahjong till 530am with cheryl, meroy and sunny. i didnt even bother to wait for my hair to dry and went to sleep immediately after shower. poor cheryl and me had to sleep on a mattress laid out on the floor because the guys took all the beds....sigh...
i slept till 12 plus in the afternoon and everyone was gone for convocation rehearsals or CIP except congmin. so there was only me, derek and congmin when i woke up. sunny later came back and he bought lunch for us, his treat. so nice of him! after lunch, we head off to changi village to get food for the evening bbq. we came back and tidied the place up a little. as i mopped the floor, the guys from next door came over to move the table bench back to their side and said our friends scolded his sis in law last night? well, we don't know that actually happened but its not surprising if it was true, since they were drunk and talking quite loud. sigh.....i went off for a swim on my own after that. the pool was crowded but i kept to the side as i don't swim very well. a little scared of deep waters. but it was relaxing to laze at the side and looked at the sky with the white clouds floating around. I actually intend to go home on the afternoon, but i decided to stay to have fun with them. After all, its the first symphonia chalet, how could i miss it?!
there were not as much pple at the bbq tha the previous night. but still, the company was great. mr glosz came and we had a cake (courtesy of sunny) to celebrate our past performances like grand opening, camaleonte and our gold award from NBC! everyone put on the new symphonia tshirt and took pictures. the current exco did a photo collage for us alumni and it was a real touching gesture. i love it so much! around midnight we went bowling, came back, walked to the cycling tracks to feel the sea breeze and sat down talking crap, thinking of funny connotations with our names, helped paolo brainstorm for his project idea...haha....people stared at us as we walked around wearing our new tshirts, wondering who we are. a guy at the bowling alley even stopped congmin and asked him about us, where we got our shirts from...haha....good job charles!
i went to sleep shortly after we came back from the walk, too tired to do anything. in the middle of the night, i caught a glimpse of them doing something to paolo, which i later learnt they were putting tape on his legs, trying to pull off his leg hair.....haha....woke up in the morning and saw that no one was around, except sunny sleeping in his bed. they came back and we checked out. headed to whitesands for mac breakfast and then it was home sweet home. the chalet has been fun, although i feel that it could do with more people around.....i love symphonia....
