Friday 24th February
Some of the slackers (actually only 1 - Jiaqi) managed to escape from the clutches of her manager and was home by 230, all ready to start our beach getaway but sadly, everyone else was stuck at work. By the time everyone was done, it was already 630. This has to be the longest Friday for all of them since they usually pack up by 430. The first thing everyone wanted was FOOD!

Pricey even though servings were huge and the sticky date pudding is to-die-for!
We only managed to reach the beach house around 1045pm and it was so dark out there that we couldn't find the house. Once we were inside, everyone was oohing and aahing about how spacious and beautiful it is. But all excitment soon turned into disbelief when we realised that the house is not fitted with aircon. Seriously WTF??!!??!?!?!?! Such a beautiful house with NO AIRCON??? Our perfect beach house is now our biggest nightmare, especially when this weekend is going to be one of the hottest at 38 degrees. I was the one who booked the beach house and I totally blame it on myself for missing this out. ARGH! No aircon means we have to open the balcony doors and then it's so hot out there, there are lots of insects - mosquitoes, flies, praying mantis, crickets and all sorts of other irritating ones flying into the house. NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE!
It was so f***ing hot that Shenton, Jiaqi, Emily and Jasmine decided to sleep in the living room with the balcony door opened. Our room opens up to the balcony so we slept in our room but it was so f***ing hot that none of us managed to get a good sleep. WORST SLEEP EVER!
Everyone was sweating buckets in the house and I can't even remember the number of times we popped into the shower to cool ourselves down. Despite the heat, we still played Wii. Wii wasn't the entertainment, Jiaqi was. It was so funny watching her play. Not only was she complaining about how tired her arms were, she was swinging and moving the controllers in weird motions and directions - totally uncoordinated. We taught Emily and Shenton how to play bridge. Jiaqi refused to learn as she only wants to play games that doesn't need to use the brains. So we introduced her to Heart Attack. LOL. No brainer game but super fun and it got all of us super hot. So it was time for a dip in the sea.
The boys were so hungry after the dip that there wasn't enough food to feed them so Jasmine and Jiaqi went out to get more food. Prawns, calamari, chicken wings, lamb, kebabs, sausages and pork fillets. YUM. Thankfully it was a much cooler night than yesterday and we had a great time chilling out on the balcony. One of the best BBQ to date. We've already made plans to BBQ at Emily's new place once she shifts in this Friday.

Saturday 25th February
With the balcony doors opened and the blinds up, it was impossible to sleep past 9am. We were all up and went out for breakfast before heading to Woolies for AIRCON! It was 38 degrees!

Sunday 26th February
Emily was the first to wake up this morning because she slept almost immediately after the BBQ at 1030pm! We had to shift back all the mattresses, clear the fridge, remove all rubbish and leave the place by 11am. Frankly, I think all of us are glad that we're going home because we've got AIRCON at home! We had brunch, stopped by a winery and everyone voted to head home. We can hear our aircons calling out for us. Although our getaway was less than perfect due to the lack of the very important thing called aircon, we still had an awesome time. Sometimes it's not about what you do or where you are, it's who you are with. :)
