Curfew @ chalet

I tried checking out the meaning of "chalet" online and it is always associated with wooden house found in the mountains, for vacations or people on holiday uses. So why does the ones in downtown, east coast are called chalets?

And what is the purpose of chalets?

To me, it means having fun and parties in a house that is not yours while you paid money for it. For you to barbecue, gather, have fun and enjoy.

Do you associate it with hotels? I don't think so. Do you associate it as a peaceful and quiet place? I doubt so.

We booked one chalet at downtown.

I tell you, I have always avoided choosing a chalet as a venue for hosting something fun because they imposed a curfew.

One cannot make noise after 11.30pm, lights out at the barbecue pit after 1am.

So what fun is there? Will anyone stops having fun after 11pm? Usually the party, the games and the fun starts late right? Even if it bothers the other tenants, but it was supposed to be fun.

After 11.30pm, we were told by the security that the room so happened to be beside our pit was a long term tenant who had a heart problem and asked for our cooperation to lower our volume.

First thing, why would someone with a heart problem who needed their peaceful rest choose a chalet of all places? I don't get it. Shouldn't one be getting a hotel to get the rest needed? I mean, they have 24hours concierge, so should anything happen to them, they can get the required assistance almost immediately while the chalet office is closed, who can they look for?

Fine! If it is about the costs, then shouldn't the management place the person somewhere closer to the main gate in case of emergency, the person will get medical help faster? Mind you, our location was not very near the entrance. And of all places, the management placed the person beside the barbecue area with many pits! That doesn't make sense right?

Then while we were about 80% done, the lights went off! Seriously. It was like being in a military camp where we have curfews not to make noise and lights off as well.

All of my trips to such chalets were never once pleasant except for those private bungalows where it was very deep in and private chalets. No one came to bother us.

I think they should portray themselves as a day chalets where one can only have fun in the day and no activities at night. Barbecue pits can only be use until 10pm and no more barbecue thereon. No noise and everyone have to whisper. Games must be those quite games where no noise will be generated, such as the mime games, games on the mobile phones where no one will look up.

Eli was down with fever yesterday and it was heartbreaking to see him sick. His lips were blue, his body.. You could see the veins (?) not sure what was that called where one is so cold that his body is turning blue.. He was shivering as well. his hands and legs were so cold. :(

He was more energetic in the day but comes night, his fever went up to a high 39 degree celsius. Sent him to the a&e after feeding him some paracetamol. The nurse took his temperature and it went down to 37.9 deg.

His fever seemed to go up and down. Hope nothing serious. :/
