Once again I fear my memory is starting to fail me. I had actually forgotten to blog about my family getting a new car =X.

No, it's not that we're rich, it just that our old car, Nissan Cefiro ( I think it's spelt like this ) was about 5 years old. High time to change, for the Singapore Government have this "scheme", trade in your car within the next 5 years of purchase and you're entitled with some cash rebate. Common sense tells you that you'll be trading your old car for a newer, more environmental friendly and gorgeously looking car. It's a good thing, right ?

Anyway the model of the new car is Toyata's Estima, and it's a family carriage type car, which my family is so obsessed about. It'll be serving us, from today onwards, while Nissan Cefiro, was decommission with effect of yesterday. RIP Cefiro~.

- Knowing a new friend is a good thing. Losing an old friend is a bad thing. Having a Idiotic brother who knows no limit of acting like a loser ( Rephrase nicely liao ), is seriously a pain in the neck. ( Rephrase nicely also )

How could I forget such a important event ?! I actually forgot to blog my visit to the Guild House at Suntec for a Xbox 360 session.

Ok on 13th March 2006, due to the fact that I woke up darn early to play Maple Story ( 6.55am, Morning call by my friend ), and later actually went for a morning jog. Rare huh ? Anyway I was so exhausted that around 12~1pm, I went for a short nap. Not that actually short, but I slept til 4.45pm. And the Xbox 360 session starts at 6pm sharp, and I've not even prepared yet. Rushing a little~ I left home by 5.15pm, but everytime after a nap, I'll just feel light headed, oblivious to many things around me. Anyway when I reached there, it's around 6~6.10pm. Not so bad, right ?

Upon reaching the Guild House, I was like "WOAH". Darn classy interior design. I've not been to this kind of place since my visit to the Raffles City Conventional Room last year. It was kinda disappointing though, it was just a room, with many Xbox 360 consoles placed all around the room, with game samples too. Met some XBL friends, but I was too busy playing PDZ ( Perfect Dark Zero ) to go fool around with them. 2 hours flew past quickly, and I had to go home T.T. PDZ was so cool~ and the main character, Joanna Dark was so gorgeous, sexy~. Anyway it was 8pm+ when I decided to go home, and I didn't join my XBL friends for dinner. You can call me "spoilsport", but I only brought like $4 with me, and those guys are darn rich.

"We're going to Kenny Rodgers !"

If you guys don't know what Kenny Rodgers is, it's a restaurant. Something like those cowboy operated ones. My $4 there can't even buy me a main course meal =.=|.
Nothing much here. but I managed to get some freebies, a Kasumi miniture figurine (^^) and a PDZ comic. I'm so gonna get a Xbox 360 at the end of the year.

Yesterday was my NE trip, and it went well. Ok, at least I think it went ok.

I remember, it was early and quiet Tuesday morning, around 6~7am. Anyway same old procedure, wash up, dress up and so on. Went to school.

The class of 4E1 went to the Chinese Heritage Centre located in Chinatown, and opens at 9am. Sharp. Like any other musuem, it showcases alot of of old artifacts and tells the stories of the Good Old Days~. Now's this is the part which seriously pisses me off. It obviously stated No Photography is allowed. But to the class of 4E1 ( Besides me, I'm a good boy ), this rule was absurd. I know, rules are meant to be broken, but we have nothing against the Heritage centre, why have to make life so hard ?

If these people just take some photos secretly, I'm cool with that. But no~ They have to take more, and with flash too. Idiotic behaviour, and worse, don't know how to conceal their actions. And some of them, although "behaves" well in school, once outside of school, it's the total opposite. I'll remember this plump girl from my class, behaves very well in front of the teachers. But at the heritage centre, I calmly told her to switch off flash, instead of stop taking photos. But guess what ? She had to scold me back, and no one can do that unless I say so. So she's screwed.

After this we went to the Sultan mosque located at Kampung Glam, and this is not the first time I've been to this mosque. Let me think, It should be my thrid visit here. But this is the first time, I've heard and eaten the $1.40 Nasi Lemak. But hey, it's not exactly value for money, cause besides the coconut rice and ikan bilis, there's only the egg and fried fish. This is also where Hawa lost her wallet, and I heard she lost over a hundred dollars. Bless her.

Later we went to a Sikh temple, located around the Book Keng MRT station, purple line. Being at the back of the crowd, I didn't actually catch what the guide was saying. Basically, the Singhs, the people who wear turbans on their heads, practises this religion. There's also the 5K, the Gurus and more. The temple also had this humongous hall, covered with a layer of very, very comfortable carpet like material ( It's very furry de, mao mao de XD. Xn don't be jealous. ) and there's a person, who's sitting behind something which resembles the area where the coffin is placed in a chinese funeral ( No Offence, but it just looks like one ). He was reading this book , a holy one in fact, similar to the bible ? I also managed to sample a vegetarian food, something brownish/orangy and taste like some paste.

Lastly we arrived at the infamous Tua Bei Kong temple in Loyang. Kinda weird though, just beside it, and I do mean it ( Just think of Me standing beside you looking at the computer screen, the temples are that close alright ). Beautiful environment, the sea is so blue, air so fresh, and carries the smell of the ocean. I took some photos, and maybe I'll post it up somedays.

I was'nt that attentive, and worse, I have a holiday project based on this trip.

- A simple school trip can reveal one's own personality. And others too. Some girls are just simply stunning XD
Last week had to be one of the better weeks I had this month. From Wednesday til Friday, I was busy, very busy with NE things to do, like preparing a speech for 27 visitors ( =X ) and re-decorating the NE corner, etc. Re-decorating the NE corner was a total pain in the neck, for the corner and its exhibit had not been clean for 5 whole years... Can ya imagine how dirty it was when we NE ambassadors cleaned it ?

Anyway I don't wanna relive the whole yucky experience, but it was the whole presentation that I was looking for. Well I don't really get it though, on one hand. I like to be a Joker, socialize and more. The other hand, quiet, relax, or something like Mr. Anti-Social. But that day I was like Mr.Socialable. I actually enjoyed presenting the NE garden. And I think I did ok.( In my school, we have the NE corner and garden. And I kinda lied. I didn't present the WHOLE NE garden. I just did the satay and milk man )

I enjoyed the stress to present well in front of the principals. I enjoyed just fooling around with the other NE ambassadors ( I don't really flirt. I think =X ). I enjoyed staying in school til 6~7pm+ ( This is new..And weird ). Finally, I enjoyed the night. Her calmness, erieeness. Her beauty, mysteriousness, for some weird reason just attracts me strongly. Ah yes, not forgetting the beautiful lights from our houses and the B-E-A-U-T-Y of Techno, Trance, Remixes or whatever U would say under the stars =D.

Oh yeah, regarding the presentation on Friday. It was totally unplanned and was obviously a last minute arrangement, and I was a innocent bystander who's going home after a photography lesson when Dear Mr Wei Ming dragged me out for a presentaion similar to that on Thursday morning,to NE Co-ordinnators from different schools. And again. I BELIEVED I did ok.

-How in the world did X.J escaped from Wei Ming's "evil clutches' ?

Well I haven't been posting in a while, so I'm kinda lost with blogging lol.

This week was almost too good to be true. Tuesday, me and some other friends are schedued for Taekwando lessons at around 3.30pm, and this tuesday, or yesterday, someone announced that Taekwando lessons were cancelled. This meant that I had the whole afternoon free. Perfect to play com and study later at night =D. But ok~ It's too good to be true, Ms Koh last minute, and I really do mean LAST MINUTE ( How about telling you just before you're going home ?) to stay back, help out at the NE corner and garden, to prepare them for the 27 guests we're gonna receive tomorrow at around 8am+. And lalala~ I stayed til 7pm+ before I went home.( I finished work at around 5pm+, but I decided to play badminton with the other NE Ambassadors =X )

Then today was no exception. I thought I could leave for home early! But alas, Ms Koh told em to help out again, and this time I had to present in front of the guests. All 27 of them =X. Well the rehearsal went kinda smoothly, but I'm scared T.T~ Wish me luck then =/

The Approaching Storm :

WARNING : VIRTUALLY OF THIS ENTRY EMITS NEGETIVE AURA~ READ AT OWN RISK

This week didn't started off that well, first thing in the morning, I was given "the look"( Disgusted; Pissed off; Grudgey; "Buay Song" )by our very own dear Mr Phoa, our "beloved" Physics and also form teacher of my class 4E1. I think this happened because of some incidents which happened last week during my SS common test. Let's be nice people ok ? So I wont get into so much on critising this guy. I'll make it short and simple, yet not abusive at all; His way of teaching is horrible, awfully weird behaviour and "biased towards girls" attitude, finally not forgetting his DISTINCTIVE look( Note that this is not to compliment on his looks, it's totally opposite ). Anyway some bad blood occured between us both and I wont get into that cause I'll get violent lol.

Then after that, Mr dear Chem teacher, Mr Wee had to try to make some joke out of my sad knowledge on Chemistry. Even today during his lesson, he tried to do the same again. Mr Wee, this is not FUNNY ?!

Then again, I cannot deny it's presence anymore. It seems that my past is fast catching up to me, and the Other Side, is starting appear. The old me, for some weird reasons, is coming back. Yes, although it had been with me for this past few years, I managed to keep it under control. Now, I don't think I can do it anymore. I just cannot control it...My whole existence as Jack, is starting to change, yet again.

Ps : Xue Ni, sorry for not lending you a listening ear yesterday. I was not myself. =/
