Annual Recess Week Chalet
By Kenneth
On September 21st 2010, the NUS Kendo Club had our annual recess week chalet at Costa Sands Downtown East, organized by none other than our
beloved welfare head, Kenneth!
The advance party of 7 checked into the chalet room K2003 at 1430 hours after having a very fulfilling lunch at Popeye's. :)
We immediately plugged in the PS3 once we got into the room and proceeded to play with it for most of the rest of the time before everyone else arrived at 6pm for dinner.
(Thanks to those who went to fetch the people who met up at Pasir Ris MRT in place of me. Arigatou!)
After an enjoyable and exciting evening of mingling around over our specially-catered dinner, half of the group decided to catch a movie (or should I say, movies because we couldn't decide between watching Going the Distance or Resident Evil) while the rest continued playing with the PS3. Some people even went to Macs to catch up on their studies and chit-chat.
The night continued with another DVD movie, District 9, and more PS3: Fat Princess. Everyone stayed awake almost past 3AM, with some falling to the lull of snooze earlier.
Following an entire night of little sleep and fun, some of us left following the start of public transport the next morning--how often do you catch the first train in the morning HOME?
The rest of the stayover party checked out at 10am the next morning and had breakfast at the nearby food court, before finally heading back home to have their well-deserved sleep. And that was the end of our chalet!
Here are some pictures taken at the chalet:

Movie Party 2: Going the Distance
Lastly, although this chalet will not have happened without the
meticulous and painstaking planning of the welfare head,
it will not be a success if not for the support of the members!So I would like to take this opportunity to thank the following groups of people:
- Oke, for volunteering to bring down his Playstation 3 for everyone to play! The chalet would have been very different if there was no PS3 to entertain us
- Wen Hao, for bringing his Playstaion Move! Everyone had so much fun playing around with the Move (Gladiator Fight, kendo-style!)
- Maureen and Chee Fung for joining us at midnight despite it being right after a physically taxing four-day-long Nexus camp with the Sports Club!
- And of course, all the seniors and juniors who came to the chalet!
We hope you all enjoyed yourselves and got to know more about each other.Look forward to the next chalet! (^o*)
