hello!

since des let the bag out of the cat, oops, i mean, cat out of the bag, here's the main stuff you guys and girls need to bring.

in order of importance (roughly):

1. sleeping bags, mattress (the portable, foldable one maybe, if you want to carry it) or safari bed (those sort of foldable stretcher-like beds, the guys might know). very important! because there are no beds (i'm sorry.) pillow would be good too haha.

2. money. to buy stuff. 'nuff said.

3. towel, toothbrush, toothpaste, all your shampoo, body wash etc. unless you all don't mind sharing with each other then not everybody has to bring. except towels maybe =P

4. sports equipment, as des said, e.g. frisbee, rugby ball (touch rugby!) soccer ball, basketball etc. east coast park is very nearby!

5. entertainment. there MIGHT be times when it is too hot or raining (touch wood!) to go out to play, so some indoor entertainment is needed. i.e. xbox, cards, chess, chemistry notes (just kidding)

6. extra clothes. for hygiene purposes mainly. you can wear the same clothes for all the days but... yea i know you ocs / sispec people do it but this isn't army.

that's all i can think of right now. a few things to clarify:

1. the garden isn't complete yet (no soil yet), but the inside is complete, so yeap. and there is minimal furniture (in terms of number that is), hence i asked to bring sleeping bags and stuff.

2. my mom's quite particular about the marble and wooden floor =/. she doesn't want any scratches, so just don't drag any heavy stuff around the floor and it should be fine.

3. there's quite a lot of glass downstairs so just be careful. i.e. no kicking / playing of balls lol.

4. i don't encourage you guys to bring alcohol but if some of you think that you can't survive even without a drop of alcohol, then you can bring a bit (though i still think you all shouldn't). especially to those who got drunk at the last chalet, or very tipsy. especially with glass doors downstairs. i have personally seen someone walk through a glass door (no, not david copperfield style), and it is very painful just watching it. so i think it's better to play safe. oh and vomitting after drinking too much isn't very nice either.

one last thing. anyone can drive or got a car, and has stuff he/she might like to contribute/lend? or is willing to find some way to bring them? especially barbecue stuff and stuff like foldable chairs, tables, or trays, or bbq pit? or can even bring pillows or whatnot since i don't have any extra.
