Just only $0.55 to get a shock of your life. Plus the bonus of exhaustion, hallucination etc~

Today's my 3rd day at MediaTron advertising, job's kinda easy/simplistic. Admin jobs, checking of invoices, typing in AP, doing letters. Did that, done that. HENG it's less strenuous compared to my first time working there. Phone calls keep ringing in, sometimes 3~5 calls in a row.

"Morning MediaTron! How can assist you?" - Repeats every 1 or so minute for 8 hours a day

Yep, those were the days. Accompanied by 4 months of invoices/check payment etc urgently needed to be cleared. I went there by 9am, only to return home at bout 7~8pm+. Normal working hours was 9am-6pm, and it's $3 too T-T. But still got OT bonus, so it's not so bad ($3 per hour also...)

It's been a while since I get this fuzzy, drowzy, light headed, blur blur feeling. I experienced this kind once in a while, with the period when I'm working most distinctive. Apparently, based on my theory, it's caused by lack of sufficient rest, poor air ventilation, dusty plus sensitive nose combo. My body temperature would rise or fall depending on the pace of my work. There was once I practically froze my hands off "speed" typing AP/AC accounts. With the lack of sleep, there're some times that I almost doze off due to either working too fast, or there's nothing to do. Hey I said this time it's less hectic right? So the solution? 3 in 1 Coffee. Not Super brand, but something else. Quite a good cup of coffee, but that diabetic-hereditary issue going on in my Dad's side of family, I'm starting to worry T-T. So maybe 2~5 cups of coffee a day, depending on situations. On average it's 1 during the morning before I leave for work, 1 during work and 1 when it's almost time to go home.

So leaving the office at around 7pm today after reading some old issues of 8days in the office (It's a advertising company, so it's almost newspaper galore and all you can read for free there. I like it =D ). Listening to my MP3 at the smallest possible audible volume (My ears are getting numb. I cant hear well..), I waited for a bus. First came 66, almost crowded, so I decided against going onboard. Secondly, I almost mistook Bus no.8 as some other bus. Thirdly, Bus no.22 came.

So I got up, and took the bus home. Weird thing is, I noticed that NO ONE standing abroad wanted to grab the seat left empty (beside some uncle)for like eons, but anyway I went for the seats cause no one went for it. As the bus reached the housing area between Bedok Reservoir and Ubi, the bus got a little more crowded. My front view was obscured by some guys, so I just look at the scenaries at my right (While doing so I joked to myself that I MIGHT meet someone I know at the stop).

And who knew? There she was. I didnt even notice her coming up. No not the glittering princess I saw 2 months back, but someone I knew for my whole secondary days. She looked different from her normal usual in school look. Slightly dyed brown hair, donning some white jacket/sweater and not tying her hair up, I mistook her for someone else, man, that almost took away me soul. There I was, thinking bout' things, and I didn't really focused on her. Til she came walked up right to me. Apparently she's just moving to the back of the bus, and I noticed her, a little too late. She's less than a metre away from me when I finally like, "WTH? How come she's here?!"

Stunned, unable to at least greet properly, I was like :" AWK AWK..." like those usual idiots in love comedies. To think I laughed at those people. Getting stunned is my weakness I guess. I didn't really thought she'll be in the same bus, and worse, at a time I was TOTALLY unprepared. Exhausted, listening to MP3, like semi dozing/dreamuing state. I guess she didn't see me, but I was in a nervous wreck.

" WTH is she doing here? She went on a date or something? Went to work?"

I went AWK~AWKing for a while, and the uncle beside me was proberbly thinking that am I choking or what. After some quick thinking, I decided to do what I do best. ACT DUMB. So I continued starring blurrly outside, trying not to focus on her.

I focused on my MP3, and tried to compose myself. Took quite a while, but I can't still take my mind off her. I was TOTALLY unprepared for such things to happen, and usually I'll take a long time to analyze,think and conclude before taking any actions, and this shock will definitely cut my life-span by several years (I plan to live forever~ But having a common sense is very dampening). My heart was pounding like a train on fire, and I felt hot and nervous and was panting, not that badly though. I dont even suffer such horrible panic attack during my O lvl orals.

So just a few stops later, she got off near the Bedok Reservoir wet market. But that was a very scary experience. Looks like some foul divine intervention/trick, and man I was THAT shocked/scared. This is ironic, cause I'm trying all I can to just forget this whole crush on her issue. This just reverts the whole situation back to square one.

Well been busy recently, so I just summarized everything. Mrs Kwa (Ms DeCotta) will be SO proud :). Gotta work tomorrow! Working is fun! But harmful to the body. I feel lethargic. And feverish.

Saturday - Went for a gathering (Not as huge as in thousands, bout' 30+ people) on Saturday. Bored at first, but that Ping Pong game was gorgeous XD. Listen to Uncle's Paul's "philosophy". Interesting and shocking (Cause I heard something I don't really get to hear. NO Porn here). Got appointed as the Leader for the kids and teens. All boys only.

Sunday Night - Went to the Library! Kinda bored, but there's good books =D! Ate at some 24hr cafe, though food is a little disappointing.

Monday - Went to a photo exhibition held at the new National Library, and I heard it's held by the Nanyang Neo Clan (A organization for the people with the surname 'Neo'. Bet the Tans got one too). Went to check out the library. I was expecting a larger library, after all it's a few storeys high, oh well. Borrowed 2 books (Science go to War, Anti-Matter) with Les's library card cause mine don't work. Both of us went around Bugis Junction, talked a lot. Went home late, slept late, woke up late, sleepy when going to work.

Tuesday - Went to work BY 8.30am. Thank God it's nearby. Like any other offices, aircon based, stuffy (I hate it. Especially with a sensitive nose). Due to insufficient sleep, plus the previous night of Insomania, felt feverish. And exhausted. But anyway I had fun today. Thank God no keying of invoices into the com! Just keying it in using some early 80~90s program is horrible! No undo! An error = redoing the whole invoice again! keying HUNDREDS/Thousands of invoices! Stiff Neck again T.T

Well I think I'm just gonna do it.(Thanks to Les for discussing crap with me ^^) Mustering all the courage and luck that I could get.

Yesterday was a really short day, well maybe because I woke up at 3pm+. That kind of wake up knowing that you slept a full 8 hours feeling was great! No Sinus, no digestive system problem, no severe blur blur effect(eg. Question yourself what happaned the other night; forgot you name etc.) and the afternoon felt lazy!

Well the night 2 days ago just sucks. Not going into that in detail, but I did thought about things alot. So besides from waking up today like a princess awoking from her eternal sleep (You don't see prince sleeping eternally anywhere don't you ?), drinking the sweeet, ol' cold,creamy milo (I'm trying to restrict drinking of coffee. Anyway not a big fan of it, cause it's for the caffine only), I was told we have a temple dinner later yesterday's night. So it's was around 3hours later. Not that I'm complaining, but that 3 hours seemed long, I used the net to do my daily routine of news/halo news/blogging reading, played 6 levels in Halo 2 (Awaiting H3! Chances are I won't earn enough for a Xbox360 by the end of 2006) and even took a short nap! Life without motive is boring. I don't even get to use my brain.

Like always, the temple dinner was held at some housing estates, either at carparks, basketball courts or even the road o.O . And also like always, the horrible portable toilets, me not eating due to many meat dishes served and getting so bored that i almost practically dozed off. But the only difference is, the dinner seemed to finish faster than usual?

So forgetting bout' that, I think I've decided to work for that family friend again. The job which my dad suggested was a sham, a hoax, and for a while he almost conned me, until I found it's too good to be true. $4, 6 days wk, 8 hrs day, and the best part is, I'll be so called under "Apprenticeship". So I'll be just doing manual chores, or just see how the workers do those machine parts. My uncle didn't even know that I was about to go there to work in the workshop. Not to blame my parents, but they got this all talk no action habit. 99% of the data spewing out from their mouth are either irrelevant, useless, very very unnesessary or bullshit. So thank god I was prepared for the worst.

So bout' that job that family friend's offering, it's not comfirmed yet, but chances are high, cause she asked my mom if I was still looking for a holiday job. Guess I have no choice then, cause I can only work for bout 2~3 weeks, and during a week of december I'll be in Malaysia for vacation. That's the only job which is "flexible", theorically safe and has the stable 8hrs/5days wk thingy. Well forgetting the part which I may be paid only $3 per hour, no lunch/transportation included, this should be ok. Just more admin jobs, manual labour etc.

I guess Xbox360 is a no show for me this year, afterall I took 2 months of saving $3 per hour working to save up for a Xbox 2 years ago. This time I'll need to seat down and think/consider seriously to plan out for the 360 and Wii. Oh yeah and H3 too XD

Haiz, I still need the cash I can get for the very private reason. Guess die die must get that job liao. Must plan for that meeting already, so Mrs Oon please reply asap.

-Currently surviving on Anime MP3s, Prison Break season 1. They keep me from going insane.

To engage in Job Hunting is almost Sucidal

Well the desire for a well-paying, flexible holiday job has struck me again. And this time, it sucks.

Ok, I only had one working experience, which is for a family friend. I did admin work, delivery, etc. All for $3 per hour. I won't say it's measly, but I suffered backache from sitting for long hours (Ironic huh?), stiff neck (Made worse with the then Maple Addiction) and a tweaked body clock. It just became like a wake up, wash and eat, go to work, eat lunch, work, go home and have dinner, sleep kind of daily routine. It's sad. But working there for 2 months, I managed to save up to $700+ for a Xbox. It was 2, fast approaching 3 years ago. I blew my salary on the game system and games.

So now with Xbox360 out, PS3 and Wii fast approaching release date (I lost track of time. Please correct me if I'm wrong), Halo-ism and for a very personal reason, I've decided to get a job. Oh, plus I'm rotting at home, particullarly at a rapid rate due to burning out after the 'O's. This has gone so bad that I find it hard to think, and I discovered after I can't do simple, mental calculations.

Well I won't say I'm very hardworking in job finding, but I'm starting to feel stressed for my failure to secure a job (I dont want to do office/admin again). Erm, I have not did any enquires for any part time job, but when I look at The Straits Times : Classified to find a job, all I see is random data spewed all over the page. I can't find any relevant data, like what kind of job it is, how it pays, working hours and so on. Having worked once at a advertising company (My only time working), I DO know that you have to pay more to have a larger space to advertise on the Classified (I think it charges for the by rows and columns used to advertise). But please at least add some relevant data.

The internet was also kinda useless, I can't find anything good out of it. I was also so close to getting a spot at Singapore Discovery Centre (Friend's recommendation) but missed it by a nose as some guy applied for it before me. I'm starting to like :" Holy? How come my friends can get jobs easily while I have to look so hard?"

Well I've heard from younger friends that they get jobs by just walking around, asking the operation managers. So if that's the case for my friends, that I lose out already. I don't go out often due to lack of $$$, and parental stress and the stress of need to dress well. They seem to find jobs which I don't even see in the Classified. Like my cousin working in the departure hall in Changi Airport (WAH!), a classmate working at Swensen's.

My dad offered me a job to his workshop. Located as tuas, 8 hrs daily, 6 days week and $4 per hour. Not the best, but I think I have no choice but to take it. But it seems that he's joking/not sincere bout' this, cause I can sense this in many ways. Firstly, there's this "haha" or joking tone when he told me the offer. Secondly, when it comes to business/work he's damn serious. Not that time. Thirdly, he "attempted" to help me spot for jobs from the Classified. All he did was to see my choices, strike them off totally and say bullshits like hmm, no good. But anyway this act indicates that he didn't expect me to take his offer. Forthly, after being pressured by me, he said he would ask his brother (The Boss of the company) to confirm.

This sucks. And I got pissed that I used the net to find a job, to no success (Written somewhere above), and mom's nagging go up and sleep~. Anyway I don't give a damn cause my whole day was totally trashed. Apart from listening to some beautiful, melodious Japanese anime music, checking out game review websites for the lastest info on Xbox360, its games and Nitendo's Wii, the rest of the day practically was trash. Boring, noisy and troubled.

Well let's hope that some mircale will appear. I don't want to be stuck in this home.

Shanghai Trip - Day 4

Well I'm gonna skip the morning, washing, eating part and jump straight to the highlights.

My dad decided on not going to Bauma 06 that Friday to relax and sight-see. Well he just wanted to act as a tour guide, cause he's been there once. So the thrio ( Plus Uncle Sim) walked on foot to the Shanghai coast (上海滩 from what my dad says), which is very, very long. Maybe as long as Orchard road, I'm not too sure of that. Not a big fan of shopping. My dad wanted to bring me to a whatever that name tunnel for the
Ahem. As I was saying, we went into the tunnel. I was greeted by this transportation thingy (I dont know how to name it), it looked like the tram which moves between Terminal 1 and 2 of Changi Airport, or that thing which you ride underwater in the mission in Halo 2 to kill the Prophet of Regret. Except smaller. So I was awed by this, but the lack of seats in it disappointed me. Only 3 seats ? There were like 7 people in it! That thing does not go underwater, but instead moves through a tunnel under the HuangPu River. There's sazzy, mind bloggling light effect. I didnt really take note of it cause I've seen this alot doing Techno music. So we got to the other side of the river, and I forgot it's the North, South, East or West of it. Anyway It looked very different from where the hotel is located.

My dad brought us to 东方明珠, sorry for the lack of translation cause I dont know its english name. Anyway we went up this tower, which I heard is used for broadcasting TV/Radio signals. So we went in, took a elevator up(Short queue surprisingly). We're bout 200+m up and the view was breath-taking. I got to see almost the whole city and partially, the HuangPu River. It's bigger than Singapore, I believe. So after the viewing, we're decided to move higher. Well, we needed to pay again to go up =.=. The ticket which my dad bought only covered the transportation fee + visual effects in the tunnel, the Marine Aquarium (AKA underwater world) and that floor of 东方明珠. Another RMB150! But anyway that's not all. We paid, and still needed to queue to more up =.= =.= =.=

The queueing process was 30 mins long. And what seriously pissed me off was, we're going up in a lift? How is it going to transport the masses up and down effectively? It's the ONLY lift going up and down the tower. So when we managed to go up, I kinda regretted my decision. Firstly, it's smaller in area compared to that 200+m floor. Secondly, the view is almost the same. Thirdly, we needed to queue up just to go down =.= =.= =.=

Queued for 15mins before going down that same elevator we took to go up. After that, we required to queue for another 20mins JUST to reach the lobby. I was like =.= =.= =.= during the whole time waiting to go down. So apart from being squeezed like sardines in a can when in the elevator and the bloody queueing process. The whole experience is ok.

We had lunch at 东方明珠's lobby. There was this cafe/shop named Coffee Tower, and it looked ridiculously like Coffee Bean/StarBucks. The only difference is the waiter/waitress wear orange. So anyway we ate lunch here, and boy, the food's good! I can taste that it's microwave food, but still it taste great. I enjoyed that Gratin.

Next stop, the Marine Aquarium, aka Underwater World. Thank God there's no crowds inside the structure, and best of all, no queueing! The exihibits there were very different from those you'll find in the Singapore's Underwater World. Lots and lots of native species, and some really scary ones too :

Forgot the name, but it's a big salamander found in a huge river (Yellow river?)


Tiger Shark. You'll get the idea


The slightly more cute ones:




There's a great exhibition bout Sharks there too! And save the sharks! They're not mindless man-eater, but beautiful yet dangerous animals. Dont support Shark Fin Soup or any other Shark based products.

The visit to the Aquarium was enjoyable, but I had no time to shop =.= for CDs. It's around 5.15pm when we left, and man, it's like 9pm out there. So dark. As we only extended our hotel stay for 1/2 a day, which was til 6pm. So we got onto a taxi and rushed down there. It has slightly pass 6pm, and it's not even 6.10pm yet but we're needed to pay for a whole day for the hotel room, bout' 140RMB? I dont recall the price but it's over 100RMB allright. So dragging our luggages out disgruntingly, we went to a nearby, small restaurant for dinner. After dinner, we took a taxi and left for Shanghai International Airport (HuangPu), which was over a hour long ride. The whole trip cost bout' 120~160RMB, which is considered cheap for the distance covered.

The trip home was a little unexpected for me. I saw a MASSIVE group of Henderson Secondary School students, and both genders wore suits. The girls look kinda weird o.O. There're lots of other people too, and wow, I wasn't the only teen there. You could easily pluck them out. So anyway, did those procedures, and passed customs. The shops were just linear in shape, so to go from one end to another took a long time. When my dad, uncle Sim and with some friends whom they just met, went for a snack at a nearby cafe. I took this opportunity to look for a book/CD shop. To my great surprise, there's actually one there. Shocked but happy, I rushed back to the cafe for some cash to buy some CDs/books. But to my GREAT disappointment, the shop was bout' to close when I just reached there. Bad timing, but why close at 10.30pm? I thought they close at 12am ?

So due this stupid incident, it ruined my day. I had that "Hey! F**K off" face the whole trip back to Sinagpore. Even that plane trip didn't bother me much. It took me 8 songs just to cool down, bout' 40 mins long. A very long time based on my standard.

So nothing much happened on the plane, so took a short nap. Reached S'pore at bout' 6am, and when to Burger King for a short breakfast. Long queues at 6am? You gotta be kidding me! It took me 15mins just to order my breakfast.

Nothing much left, this just sums up what I remember from the trip to Shanghai. Went home, played my ever lovely com from 7am til 12pm, that's when I slept. Til 9pm+.

Shanghai Trip - Day 3

Today I woke up earlier at bout' 8am and proceeded to the cafe or Coffee Shop for breakfast. A normal, quiet breakfast until some China due just sat down on my table to eat. I was like WTF?, and told him that the other 2 seats (there were 4) were taken. No obvious reply, and he just continued eating. Yes, I can see that most tables were taken, and I'm just a 16 year old kid, so it's like taking candy from a baby. Even so, manners please hor uncle.

Regarding the last post bout the JC admission thingy, my dad rushed me to the business center but it was closed. So we went to a nearby LAN shop located at that famous shopping district seen in the Day 1 post. The fee was cheap. Only 3 RMB per hour, or SGD$ 0.60 per hour. It was quite quiet there for it's morning. Only bout' 3~6 other computers were taken. I went to see the necessary things needed for the admission exercise etc, and the weird thing is, the chinese guy beside me is watching his porn collection. Well girls in scantily clothes/bikinis and some were totally nude. Yep, it's porn alright.

Me, dad and uncle Sim went to Bauma 06 after that, and it's more enjoyable. Due to no bloody tiring plane trip, dragging of a few kilos of luggage and Booth Babes. Yes you heard me correctly. Booth babes. I was shocked to even see them in such exhibitions in the first place.

During lunch, me and dad went to The Coffee Beanery (It ain't no Coffee Bean, and yes that's the cafe's name). Queuing took bout' 20 minutes, and we're in luck to find a table less than 10 minutes there amongst the crowd. I ordered a Supreme pizza for me, Spaghetti for dad and a Expresso coffee. It was 15RMB (SGD$3) for a cup, and the cup was only this big:





Small, but it has KICK! Slight similar effect to Vodka.

Well, I made an arrangement for those who I smsed, called or specifically contacted via other sources to log in to MSN messenger around 7pm+. Well we're stuck outside for 2hrs+, no thanks to long queues, people who shamlessly stole our cabs (KSed) and to those taxi drivers wanting to extort $$$ from passengers (霸王车). I recalled one policeman for doing these weird actions. He did a dramatic "To hell with those 霸王车, I shall lead you all to the main road where there's a abundance of cabs." speech in his superb chinese accent. Sounded patriotic. Again, our cabs got stolen (KSed) by others, and took us quite a while to get a cab. Worse, it was raining. After hopping onto a cab, we're faced with the problem of a MASSIVE TRAFFIC JAM. A short drive of less than 30km to the hotel took us an hour.

I reached the hotel at 8pm, and late for the MSN appointment. Called Mau to log in, and he did! I multi tasked between talking to CK, Yudha who both logged in later and with Mau, and the PAE(JCs) admission. My dad dislike the idea of going to the LAN shop again due to the pornography the guy beside me was viewing. So I went to the business center to use it's computer. It's bout' SGD$4 per 15 mins. Shocking isn't it?

This is the com:



All Hail Mau! Saved my ass. Twice. Firstly for logging immedialately when I needed him most. Secondly, for spotting my mistake of entering Anderson JC as my 2nd choice instead of Tampines JC. Heng!

A really late dinner due to the jam and PAE admission. Bout' 5 mins to 10pm. Ate alot to celebrate the completion of my PAE admission before the deadline, and there's lots of left over pizza o.O

Shanghai Trip - Day 2

I woke up around 9am+, and it's considered late cause the cafe (or Coffe Shop cause they named it that way) stops serving breakfast at 9.45am. Nagged out out bed (it sucks big time, and there's a stranger to see it all), I changed, washed and went for breakfast. A normal breakfast, and left for the exhibition around 10+am.

This time, I'm refreshed and awake, although not 100%. Me and my dad scanned halls E1 and E4 thoroughtly, and only E2 and E3 are left. Firstly, it rained/drizzled the whole day, and it was HORRIBLY cold. And yes, it felt good. Secondly, there are just too many people around. Toilet visit was long and horrible, and people staring at each other peeing. Lunch was worse. There were bout' 3 dining areas there only, and all were fully occupied. So I pulled my dad to the McDonald area where the queue was shorter. A 25 minutes queue, and the food was cold when it arrived. Still edible, and the drink was a blue solution (Imagine Aqueous Blue Copper Sulpahte solution) with a chewing gum/mint/coke flavour. Taste kinda ok, and my dad said it tasted great. Bleh. Oh yeah, litters dominated the whole area. Floor, tables, chairs. They're found everywhere, just like the zombies in horror movies.

The exhibition was what I expected, products, business contacts etc. Met alot of my dad's business friends, and one of them, Terence brought us around Shanghai. Afterall he's familiar with the surrounding there. We went to 人民大道 in search for CDs, and to my surprise, there's not a single CD shop to be found everywhere. Due to the drizzling, those CD stalls (Mobile ones I heard) are nowhere to be seen. Sad, cause the CDs are only RMB 25, bout' SGD$5. Another downside is that beggars beg hard for cash. They can follow you down the streets asking for $$$, and what's even more ironic is that they're dressed in nicer and better jackets than mine.

Returning to the hotel disappointed, I just slacked around lor. And to my horror, I needed to hand in the application form thingy regarding my choice of JCs by Friday 24/11 by 4pm. Well the horrible part is I'm stuck in China til Fri 12am, and I didn't the documents with me when I left Singapore. Before I left, I was like :" Hmm, I should bring along those documents." until my other self was like :" Screw it dude! Bring it and screw your 'vacation'? You don't even need to bring this cause you can pass it up by Sunday!" - ( My teacher told me that I had a week to hand it up )

So I was like holy shit~ holy shit~. The weather was cold, and I wore a singlet to bed. Surprisingly, it was NOT that cold, and it felt good~. Oh yeah regarding that Holy Shit part. I just went to sleep and believed that it'll go all well.

- As I was writing what to blog for Day 2 in the wee hours of morning, I heard some screaming/laughing/sobbing/moaning sound. WTF? Sounded like some punksters or sex gone horribly wrong.

Shanghai Trip - Day 1

This's my first trip to Shanghai, China and for some weird reasons, I was not particularly thrilled bout' this. Prehaps I made a hasty decision to join my Dad for the Bauma Exhibition 06 held there, during the big 'O's.

Well like the usual procedures of going to the airport; having dinner together, saying goodbyes, going through customs etc. It has been bout' 12 years since I've been on an airplane, and to other countries besides M'sia. The good thing is, that I bought myself a copy of the issue of EGM(UK) containing those Halo 3 multiplayer bits and chunks. The sad thing, I can't find the TimeZone arcade in the transit area.

I boarded the plane via some room named C17, and it kinda brought back familiar memories. The security check, that travelator, the tunnel connecting the plane's entrance. Well as I suspected, the economy class was a little too small for my size. Even my sister, who went on a trip to Hokkaido, Japan earlier this year had a TV screen and games to play, music to listen and even got a free Pokemon toy ! All I got was a bad night's sleep, squeezy conditions and a uncomfy seat. It was 1~2am when the plane left Singapore, and 15 minutes after that, we're forced to wake up, seat upright (bring the chair up) so that the passengers behind can open up the "table" to place their food with. For me, I can't even sleep. Try sleeping upright. Trust me it hurts.

So beside the fact that economy class is small, jam packed, it was a good experience. The thrust we feel during lift-off, the bouncing feeling during landing.

Reached Shanghai bout' 4~5 hours later, and I seem to recall that it was around 5~6am+ when we reached Shanghai. Dead tired but I switched my body to "energy saving" mode and managed to survive til 3pm. This is due to the fact that there's such a weird law regarding checking in of hotel is only authorized after 12noon. It has since been years since I first experienced the "Holy crap" thingy. Dragging our luggages, we went to eat at KFC. And between KFC and us was the Maglev (Magnetic train) station (More of an area). So we bought our tickets, assuming that KFC was INSIDE the station. To our horror, we had to leave the station to get there. But heng lah, the security guard allowed us an exception to leave and enter again later. Anyway the KFC there sells porridge, and egg burger o.O

Took the Maglev towards Long Yang(龙阳) Station, and the train felt like a skateboard travelling at 301 Km/h max speed. Smooth ride I must say. So dragging the ever heavy lugguages, we took a shuttle bus from the station to Bauma Exhibition 06 held at Shanghai Internation Expo. Apparently the crowd is starting to gather at the entrance, and the chinese there aren't really friendly. They cut queues. By the masses. So again, I managed to squeeze myself in amongst the huge crowd of chinese and some foreign visitors. Again, dragging of luggage issues, me, my dad and his friend aka uncle Sim, walked through 2 of the 4 exhibition halls. I was 1/2 dead during this time. So don't ask me bout' that visit that day.

Around 3pm+, we dragged our physically exhausted bodies back to our hotel, Xing Yu hotel (星宙大酒店). I took a short nap before leaving for lunch at 5, and it was some shop located in some famous shopping district. Claimed by my dad, the area was like some ancient China's kind of shops cluttered together. 小笼包 populated this area, and seriously, it tasted good. Very different from the Singapore version. There's also this dish where people drink their soup in this bowl sealed with a big bun on top, out of straws. Kinda weird. After dinner, we headed back to our hotel room, and I proceeded to watch TV. Tons of cable, but just no sports or english ones! Bored, I went to sleep. I woke up at 10pm, ate the take-away food bought by my dad went he apparently ditched me in the room alone and went to sight-see. Because I slept earlier, I was unable to sleep lor. I sat on my bed and written down what to blog for day 1. And yeah, I read that EGM mag too. Halo 3 totally rock my world XD

17 Nov 2006 : One small step for me, One giant leap for 4E1

Last Friday I had a great and exhausting( =.= ) time. I only got bout' 5 hours of sleep as I played til the wee hours of morning, and I had to rush to Maurice's house for a Xbox session and then the 4E1 Bbq later in the afternoon. Anyway, dragging my lazy bum of my cushion-bed~, I washed up, changed, drank coffee and off I went to Maurice's house.
Carrying along a Xbox console, 3 xbox controllers and half a dozen games is not a very pleasant experience, especially having to take a bus. Thank God it's not during the peak hours or else I have to drag the box to his house by foot. Finding his house was not plesant either. I took bus 59, forgetting the fact that it DOES not pass through the Bedok Reservoir Wet Market region, but instead passes through the Bedok North Secondary School area. Noticing this error, I got off the school's bus-stop and walked ALL the way to his house. It's bout' 15 mins walk. Oh I saw my cousin going to school too, but she didn't noticed me LoL. Hopes she does well for her papers.

When I reached his house, I was dead tired and pissed. His blocks were in circles. Beside block 113 is 120. Then where the heck is block 112? Anyway his house surprised me. The block was kinda old, not as old as mine though. The interior was beautiful. No not that kind of Designer's interior design, but rather a nice, comfortable home feeling. His hall was huge, although mine have a bigger area in terms of Sq Ft. As I went in, I saw it. The curvish, "sleek" white/silver lined box with a "360" on it. It had to be it. A Xbox 360. Disappointingly, he didn't get Gears Of War T-T.

Besides me, other friends came. All guys, and we're not gays. We played and played til 3.30pm, cause I had to prepare to go for the Bbq by bus, while the others decided to cycle there. I miss my bike T-T. Lugging that Xbox back home, I took a short rest and departed for Pasir Ris Park. It was round' 5+pm, and the designated time of meeting was 4.30pm, so I went alone instead. Nice feeling XD. Reached there after bout' 1 hour of travelling, and to my horror, the Bbq pit was nowhere near the playground. Instead, it's located towards the end of the park, and that's where a friend of mine has a condo unit in "Sandy Palm". I walked a long~ distance to reached there, and thankfully I was not sorely disappointed. Again to my horror, the food's not even here yet, let alone the charcoal, firestarters. The girls were just chit chatting around, so I went to the Guy's area. Borrowed a bike, went round the park, and just did what I want.

Finally bout 7+pm, the supplier came. And the Bbq "officially" started at 8pm. During this time, I borrowed a bike and just rode around again. This time, I saw this beautiful structure which I've seen several times from my previous visits here. And luck has it, I got lost while riding and ended up at the structure's peak. The view was simply stunning. It's just like a wide staircase with lamps placed around it. But it was beautiful. Suitable for a party( Pictures Techno under the stars XD ) or a romantic getaway for couples. I sat there, listened to my MP3 ( Although I didn't update it, there's some techno hits in it ) under the distant, yet brilliantly sparkling stars. The air was cool. The surrounding was quiet. I felt relaxed.

Around 8, I received a call from Jason that the food's being cooked. So they managed to start the fire afterall, I was expecting longer due to past experiences LoL. I went back, but I'm not a big fan of Bbq food though, so I didn't eat much. Anyway the whole Bbq-ing process, eating process was fun. The girls in 4E1 were ridiculously high that night. It can be mistaken that they're on drugs, horny or just mentally insane. Again, after some eating I rode the bike again. I don't get much opportunities to ride bikes due to my dad being obsessed with "safety" and gave mine away 4~6 years ago, so I did my best to ride all I want. I like that feeling of speed.

After the eating process, the girls wanted some "sacred dancing ritual" which I don't really understand, but it's fun. I get to hook up with 2 other girls LoL! But it's just for the sake of fun, no hanky panky involved. They sang this song "Auld Lang Syne" and etc, and did that really weird circling dance. I just followed them lor. It's great. But then it's hard to write such feelings down in words though. I'm not good at expressing how I feel/think.

I got a candle representing me ( HOLY DOES IT MEAN I'LL DIE IF THE CANDLE EXTINGUISHES ?), and a small, laminated photo of my class. I have it here with me as I type. We also had a 4E1 cake! Which tasted like alcohol! I love that taste! And the Muslims in my class didn't dare to touch it! Although the chinese girls reassured that it's rum or whatsoever, and it's halal.

The Bbq ended late around 11.20pm, and everyone scrambled for taxis, buses for the taxis charge extra after 12, the last buses leave at 11.30. So concluding that I'll miss my bus, I called my dad to fetch me and some friends. He's pissed, I know of it, but anyway he came.

Before he came, me and friends rushed to Pasir Ris Interchange and see if they could catch a bus. Apparently we can, but Alvin missed bus no. 15, so he can't reach home directly. So I talked them into allowing me to drive them home. We went to McDonald's to grab some bites before leaving. In the car, we chit chated til each and everyone of them reached home. It was a pleasant experience.

I reached home bout' 12.50pm, but I went to play com anyway. I played til 6am, then I took a quick bath (I sweated heavily and smell) and slept. I woke up at 11 am though X_x.

Forever Young~ I want to forever young~

Enough crap bout' life being crappy. Enough shit bout' my dysfunctional family. Today, I'll talk bout' the beauty of life~ ( Angelic Melody ~Ah~)

Today did not started well for me. I overslept for my Pre-U briefing, Alvin misplaced his "F.E.A.R" game folder, my body system went cranky. I didn't get to drink a cup of coffee, stayed in the bathroom for bout' 45 mins, and by the time I went back to school, the briefing's over.

I love my class. I'm glad that I've met them during my walk down life. This 2 years we spent together may be short, some vivid memories may be unpleasant, some beautiful. This class is different from others in many different ways. 4E1 is dysfunctional, weird yet colourful. Life there is not necessary the MOST beautiful, but it's still good. We have weirdos, clowns and jokers fooling during lessons, machine guns and satellites, the Axis of Evil, Happy Tree(3) Friends aka KKB*, the NCCs, the gals and "The 4 Legendary Kings". Which other classes have such unique groups?

I've made good/new friends there, learn more bout' the uncertainty of human behaviour and more subjects( Of course ). My family, as much as I hate them, I love them as much. As I said, it's a love-hate relationship. It's weird I know.

I love my brother, although he likes to attract attention, lacked fashion style( Likes to wear my shirts =.= ), plump. But he's smart, WAY more responsible than me, and systematic. I'm proud to annouce, that even without any tuition or much help from me, he's able to be 33th out of 240 people. But he can't get into 3E1, damn the school. He's personality is like Inuyasha's. By the way he's very anti-blogging, cause I think he does not have much of a life to blog bout'.

My parents are different from other parents and strict, but I appreciate them for them. At least they care.

Well it's good to have dreams for life, and memories and experiences, although some are total bullshit and unpleasant, are equally important.

- If you reading this post, happens to be MY brother, then I'll say this to you,:" Say whatever you want bout' being a Gay to blog. If you lack a life to blog, too bad and diam diam. Since you like to read every half hour bout' what I post, you seriously need to get a life."

Time may heal wounds, but it sure can't make one forget

While typing bout' me not trusting my parents, it's a personal thing. I remember at some point in my Sec 4 life, I've written this sentence in a chinese compo :

Parents are humans after all, and humans do err from time to time. If we don't forgive our parents for their mistake, then who will?

I can tell anyone straight in the eye, that I've lived up to the sentence. If not, I'll dare say that life would be very different from now. But I do blame them from time to time for stupid doing stupid things, but there's one thing which cannot be easily forgetten through the passage of time. They failed to be there with me at my lowest point of life. When I fell to the lowest point of life, where were you when I needed you the most? I remember. No one was there to help me. I was all alone. Life never returned to 100% normal.

I'm not sure if anyone has such experience like mine, but I know one thing for sure. There're people out there who experienced worse than me. I also believe that I did a great job of being optimistic bout' life, cause I forgot alot of bad experiences I had. I only remembered the main points.

My life went haywire when I reached Primary 1. As I was unable to enter Red Swastika School, I entered Min Xin Primary instead. It was there I changed. I met this guy named Michael, from Taiwan. We and some few guys always hanged around each other, and he's older than us, so that made him the boss. It's from him I learnt vulgarities, how to fight. I admit, my brother became bad due to my influence. I unleashed vulgarities and always got into a fight with him. I also cursed my parents with vulgarities. I was 6~7 years old that time. I lost interest in schooling and I dropped from 3rd position to 22th position in class.

What made me to change to become a better, not necessarily a very obedient guy, was that one time my Mom broke down and wept in front of me. It was the first time (And certainly not the last) I saw her cry. And man, she cried hard. I did my best, ditched those bad behaviours. Due to being a nice guy in school now, I found it hard to adapt back to school life. From that instance, I never loved to attend school. And I never did. My life changed again when I tried to walk down the "correct" path in life. I lost friends, I got backstabbed, I was depressed.

Friends left me for I became a goody two shoes. My best pal ditched me for those friends, and I remembered his words til now :" Who wants to be friends with you? You're weird, and you're a sissy."

My life reached its lowest point. I had no one to depend on. My parents were Very, Very BUSY, and had "no" time to listen and guide me. So I was left practically alone. For 2~3 years in school, I felt depressed. To make it worse, my thinking and behaviours were very different from the others, so it's called lacking "universally accpeted personality traits". So I was isolated from everyone. I thought of commiting sucide, transferring/skipping schools. Life totally suck at that time. It sucked so badly that I cried almost everyday after school for the pitiful existence I had. But thankfully, I was mentally strong enough not to actually jump off my block to end my life.

I pity Humanity's existence and also wanted to either wipe out or re-modify it to near perfection. I actually admired Lex-Luthor, arch-nemisis of Superman. I became repressed, refused to talk to anyone, refused to trust anyone. Life turned for the better when I met Mrs Krishnan during my Pri 4 and 5 years. With her encouragement, supervision, I fared better in my studies. I got into EM 1! There's another teacher which have a great impact on my life. Ms Yeo. Firstly, she's beautiful, she got the body, and best of all, her personality. This would be the first time in 4 years that I talked bout' her. Apart from that she's so gorgeous that my jaws dropped, she was patient, nice, funny and strict. But one thing which I seriously got uncomfortable was that she kept asking me if I was okay and needed someone to talk to. I, don't want to seek help. I don't want people to think that I'm a mentally ill person. She taught me to be how to live life and be optimistic bout' it. She also shaped my vision of the type of girl I would want to marry eventually one day. Hope to find her soon =)

I never recovered fully from Depression though, my parents also never knew bout' this cause I never made any effort to tell them since they went "yeah whatever" when I told them of my hellish primary school life. I never consulted a doctor bout' it. But I reviewed the symptoms based on a commercial by the Government back in those days bout' suffering Depression.

1) Do you feel sad, tired of life? - Yeah
2) Do you lack appetite - Nope, I indulged in food that I became fat
3) Have you thought of commiting sucide - Hell yeah

It's something like that, but I don't recall all of them.

I broke down twice in secondary school. I lost friends as a result, and it's hard to even say hi to them. I could never fully trust people, not even my own family. Being repressed for most of my primary school years also resulted me in having difficulty of making friends, cause I refused to interact often. I made a bet with God (I think he DO exist)that I if I could enter 3E1 with my horrible results (It's because I can't be bothered with the other tests and exams, only the end of the year's. I did quite well but they took the overall 4 exams =.=) and become a better man for one of the few girls who attracted me (I can say that I only got attracted by 5 girls only in my life so far). Apparently I went to 3E1 and she went into the same class too =X

I must say I've changed alot since Sec 3, in terms of thinking and behaviour. I love my class, my friends, my family (Although there's many toe-stepping still occurring) and life.

I dream to see the world, and how its inhabitants are doing. I dream of craving my own business empire and influence and improve the life and quality of humanity. I believe, we, humanity were given such power to out-evolve other organisms for a specific reason. I prefer to believe that it's to make the world a better place for everything and everyone. And of course, what's life without enjoyment? I want to open a club/pub/disco or whatever it's called, to bring all people who love life together and party~!!!

A personal quote: Since teenage life is dominated by the raging hormones, why not embrace it and admire the opposite gender? Oogling at them is not being pervertic or bad or whatsoever. Not oogling at them will be kinda worrying, especially when someone says that he has no interest in the opposite gender.

I'm going to China tomorrow~ And I'm not glad bout' it

Haiz I'm leaving for China tomorrow, but I have not done any preparations for this trip. Packing, informing Uncle John bout' that dinner, winter clothing, mindset.

Tomorrow's might be the last day the class of 4E1, well, to be together as class 4E1. After today, we're considered as "adults" in some sense, so it sucks. Adults equates to more responsibilities, hardships, betrayals and a faster meeting with death. I hope that this time, I'll not forget to collect the contacts of everyone in 4E1, regardless of who they are, where they are. I've missed bout' 2~3 opportunities to get them, so this's my last chance.

Anyway, tomorrow's the day we get to choose our JCs and courses to take, well I'm not too sure bout' that cause I didn't hear bout' this. At all. This means I'll have to dress in that uniform again and that red tie which strangles. Oh well, it's my last time going back to school as a Damaian.

Like every holiday I'm faced with days of boredom. I'm rotting at home, along with that ever uniquely horrible yet weird brother. If my sister's at home, home becomes hell with my ever uniquely horrible yet weird brother trying to "do" somethings which I could never understand, so it's presumed that he's either doing some secret experiments on her, trying to "Hit" on her or He lacks more universally accepted behaviours and traits than me.

I want a Xbox 360 real bad enough that I'm actually considering of taking up a job, and to also kill some time. But thank God, "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" finished downloading yesterday, so I DID managed to kill some time watching this anime. Problem is, it's only 14 episodes, and I've finished 10 episodes. Bout's 100 mins more to go. Seriously I hope Shanghai got some nice places to visit and play.

Today's a living hell for me as my bro and sister did their usual "I hit you, you hit me" routine again. He does weird things to her, she screams and retaliate, dear mom also does her berserking routine too. So being an innocent by-stander caught in such shit for perhaps an eternity, life at home just sucks. I actually had a great time studying in the wee hours for my house is actually SILENT during this times. My dad does his usual bullshit of "Sleep early or Die" often, but I dont give a hoot bout' that. Sleep early and give up my few hours of freedom? Wake up early to see and hear this "I hit you, you hit me" shit again? Hell no, I rather lead a dysfunctional life than suffer more of this crap.

Today's dinner was also so-so, for my bro suggested to go to this isolated coffee shop to eat. Though the "Zhu Chao" stall's owned by our school friend, but if I dont want to go, that trip will never be pleasant for me. Dinner was edible but not the best, with the interior lacking so badly that I can't bring myself to look inside.

But what really spoilt my day were my parents. Not that I really hate them or anything but, never make a promise that you can't make. 4 years ago, my Mom made a promise to bring me to Fish & Co. to taste its Fish & Chips for it's really good, but apparently she never did. Over the past 4 years, she made up a bullshit crapload of excuses like the food is too expensive, the food sucks etc. Again today, someone said something bout' food and Fish & Co. , so I reminded my Mom of failure to keep that promise. She "promised" to bring me there next week. Do I take her word for it? Fuck if I did, so I told her off.

My Dad was no better. He likes to make a shitload of empty promises that I shot him down so badly that he hardly promises me anything unless it's capable of being done. Apparently he promised a CD after the 'O's to "reward" me for working hard. I know it's bullshit, but I took his word for it. BAD MISTAKE. He shrugged it off and denied shit.

Shit, I'm feeling more pissed typing this post.

I was checking my mail while I was blogging, and yes, I'm so bored that I'm double posting.

Les sent me this "must forward to many to have good luck with Love or die" chain e-mail( again ). I don't really like this kind of stuffs, cause it's dumb in some sense. As dumb as it seems, there's some mushy, yet nice and meaningful messages in it.

If you love someone, tell them.
Don't be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.
Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets.
And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped make you the person that you are today.

That message,(particullarly the 1st sentence) I've heard it tons and tons of time from friends bout' my issue. It's kinda sad. I lack the courage to say it out. I'm very confused right now, and it's something which has no clear cut solutions to it. It may succeed, it may fail. I'm such a flirt, darn it.

Glitch In The System

My body clock has gone haywire for the past few days, cause I do not sleep before 2am, and also the fact that I only sleep for 9 hours for the past 2 days.

It all started because of this. After the big 'O's, I felt lost cause I had nothing to do. The only stress factor I had was having nothing fun to do, even during the frantic revisions in the unholy hours seemed fun. I had no cash to get new Xbox games, let alone a Xbox360. As bored as I am, I went to play Maple Story. There was I playing one whole day til bout' 11pm+, but it was still boring anyway. After that, it struck me. Insomania!(Spelt something like that)

Bored, bored, bored. I decided to stay up just to find stuffs to do. Apparently, there's not much to do. Bored to tears, I went to sleep. It was around 3~4am+ on Friday's morning. Big mistake. I forgot that I had to go to Maurice's house at 10. I woke myself up at 8+ but I needed a LONG time to kick start my body system. Coffee, some bread, something to increase adrenaline level.

I went to his house around 10~11am and played there for the whole morning and early afternoon(Man, his house is as big as mine. It's just that mine is 2 stories lol). I left around 3+ to make it for 4E1's class Bbq (Posting on mon*), but alas, I was late so I went alone. Even so I'm ok with that. I'm used to being a loner. By the way I saw a very gorgeous girl on the bus LoL, and no, I didn't try to hit on her or whatsoever cause it's complicated. And I meant VERY.

I had a great time at the Bbq, but it ended late (And I'll tell you why next time). I got my dad to fetch me and some friends (It's 12.15am for Heaven's sake. No bus). We escorted each and everyone back home, and when I reached home I didn't rush for the bed immedialately, cause I'm sweaty and smelly. Worse, I'm not exhausted. I could go on and play longer XD. Anyway I fooled around, blogged a little (See time of previous post), and went to bed (after bathing) around 6.15am today. And I woke up at 12 pm today, hungry. So I did the daily routine and blogged again. Cause I'm seriously bored.

-Bored to death. Going to find a job as soon as I'm back from China.

An Extreme Makeover

Today, I made a resolution to have an Extreme Makeover. Well maybe not that extreme, but hey a makeover is still a makeover.

*Crap. AsI'm typing this post, I saw a shadow. Twice. It's less than 50cm away from me. Is my brain or eyes tiring out ?
Ignoring it, and with goosebumps all over me, I continue the post.

Anyway as I was saying, I'm going to undertake a makeover.

I'm gonna quit Maple Story. Firstly, ugly Singaporean (Mostly teens) with poor EQ and possibly IQ. Secondly, monopolizing the game. Wizet did a great job of "encouraging" us to purchase the cash card, aka $ card, A card, A cash( 10,000 A cash for SGD$10.50 ), just because we need it to look cool. To spare us the misery of leveling at a snail's pace. Last and thirdly, I find no meaning or sense of purpose in MS anymore. Hey it's not that MS is a crappy game, it's a great game, just ruined by several factors, particullay UGLY Singaporeans. Rare kind Maplers are rare now.

I'm gonna have this approach to life. Follow One's heart.(Particually those which I want).

I'm gonna learn how to draw manga/anime to capture the beauty of life. It offers more than photo taking. I'm wanna learn Japanese/korean/German language/writing, marketing, sales and business, redesign my blog and I wanna buff up my body too LoL. It's to make up for the wasted years spent on nothingness.

Electric guitar playing is also another one, but not because I love Rock, Heavy Metal or other music genre but because of this (You gotta listen to it):
www.mothergoat.net/mp3/theprisoner-nonarr.mp3
and also this :
www.mothergoat.net/hail117anthem.mp3

I'm also gonna find some holiday jobs, maybe ranging from F&B, Sales, Office admin etc. I wanna see what these industries have to offer to me, and also for this two particular reasons: Entertainment (Xbox360, Wii and perhaps a PS3. Halo 3 and Gears Of War XD) and Luxury (AiPod? A digital camera? A destop comupter or laptop?)

Yesterday, on the 17th of Nov I went to 4E1 "last" class Bbq. At first I resented the thought of going there, cause it was suppose to be a chalet, and this Bbq was a last minute thing. But I enjoyed it. I'm not gonna blog bout' it now cause I don't have any of the pictures taken with me now, so perhaps next Monday just before I leave for China for a business trip. Seriously, it's a business trip.

By the way bout' the machine gun part by this lady named KC (http://everstarry.blogspot.com/), I'm kinda honoured actually. Oh yeah, she's from my class.

Andrew has his own Xbox360 now (Boo Hoo Hoo). I'm seem to be the only XBL guys without a 360. I want to play Gears Of War. NOW.

-Edwin, I hope your Grandfather will recover soon from ICU. See you at the dinner soon.

Hey they started it first !

I'm kinda lost for words now cause I finished my big 'O's, and I feel funny.

Not that I study til the wee hours of morning and suffer anxiety attack every few minutes, it's just that to suddenly stop studying feels funny.

I came home today, and my sub-consience told myself,:" Dude, you gotta play Maple Story today. Play til you drop."

My other sub-consience (Gemninis have 2 of each. So it's a good and a bad thing),
went :" No No No! Go sleep and just cool down. Think of doing something more meaningful."

Anyway I did play Maple for several hours, and I still pity the the future of Singapore's society.

1)I play MS for less than 15mins and my training area(Mixed Golem Forest) got raided not just by a party. 3 parties, and their average level was at least 90. My party only had 1 lvl 89 hermit, while the others were in our 70s. The "Mafia Boss" was this guy with the IGN : Disturb , and he can't even state a proper reason to why they (about 16 of them) raided the map. - What bout' Netball and whatever Sakura that guy is? They're not in the map. We dont know them. Why raid ?

2)Some girls have no respect for their gender. This guy joked about some crap bout' the "Vagina", and a girl replied,:"Want to play with it?" - WTF?! =.=, I can swear she sounds like a 14 yr old

3)Maple Story came up with the idea of having a Spa in this Gangster town, and the NPCs sold this robe. The Spa was mixed gender, and guys started going horny. Just within 3 visits there, I've heard : Molest, Hentai, F**K and even r@pe =.=.

4)Use of language. Really sad. Made no attempt to type "readable" english

5)There's more, but I'm lazy to type it out. To think MS is dominated by teenagers.

Pity pity.... Not that I'm a perfect Singaporean, but at least... Respect each other or Oneself.

*Thinks of Brother and shakes head.

- He's Inuyasha (With a very childish behaviour) and I'm more of Shessmoru. Does that mean bad ?

19:05 Hrs more ( As of time of last post )

Just 19Hrs and 5 mins more.

By the way,


You just gotta love the Chief.

The Horoscope Investigation : Pt 2

Now for mine. This will be more accurate than my Bro's. I hope.

Traditional Gemini traits

Adaptable and versatile
Communicative and witty
Intellectual and eloquent
Youthful and lively

On the dark side....

Nervous and tense
Superficial and inconsistent
Cunning and inquisitive

Quotes from the text which are true bout me ?

-On the one hand it produces the virtue of versatility, and on the other the vices of two-facedness and flightiness.

-When they are good, they are very attractive; when they are bad they are more the worse for being the charmers they are

-Like children they are lively, and happy, if circumstances are right for them, or egocentric, imaginative and restless.

-They take up new activities enthusiastically but lack application, constantly needing new interests, flitting from project to project as apparently purposelessly as a butterfly dancing from flower to flower.

-To them life is a game which must always be full of fresh moves and continuous entertainment, free of labor and routine.

-Changing horses in the middle of the stream is another small quirk in the Gemini personality which makes decision making, and sticking to a decision, particularly hard for them.

-Since they lack the quality of conscientiousness, they are apt to fight a losing battle in any attempts they make to be moral (in the widest sense of the word).

-good qualities are attractive and come easily to them. They are affectionate, courteous, kind, generous, and thoughtful towards the poor and suffering - provided none of the activities resulting from expressing these traits interferes too greatly with their own lives and comforts.

-They quickly learn to use their outward attractiveness to gain their own ends, and when striving for these they will use any weapon in their armory - unscrupulous lying, and cunning evasiveness; escaping blame by contriving to put it on other people, wrapped up in all the charm they can turn on. In their better moments they may strive to be honest and straightforward, but self-interest is almost always the victor. If things go against them, they sulk like children.

-They reflect every change in their surroundings, like chameleons, and can become pessimistic, sullen, peevish and materialistically self-centered if circumstances force them to struggle in any way. If the conditions of life become really adverse, their strength of will may desert them entirely.

-can become uncertain of themselves, either withdrawn, or nervously excitable worriers, sullenly discontented, hard and irritable, with "Self" looming ever larger in their struggles.

-On the other hand their versatility can make them very adaptable, adjusting themselves to control the world around them by means of their inherent ingenuity and cleverness.

-Most Gemini have a keen, intuitive, sometimes brilliant intelligence and they love cerebral challenges. But their concentration, though intense for a while, does not last. Their mental agility and energy give them a voracious appetite for knowledge from youth onward, though they dislike the labor of learning. They easily grasp almost everything requiring intelligence and mental dexterity, and are often able to marry manual skills to their qualities of mind.

-Their intellect is strongly analytical and sometimes gives them so great an ability to see both sides of a question that they vacillate and find it hard to make decisions.

-If faced with difficulties, they have little determination to worry at a problem until they find a solution - they will pick the brains of others. In their intellectual pursuits, as in other departments of their lives, they risk becoming dilettantes, losing themselves in too many projects which they follow until they become difficult.

-In love they are fickle, not intentionally so but because of the basic inconsistency of their emotional nature, which has an amoral aspect to it. Their is a side to Geminians which can become deeply involved emotionally, and another, hostile to sentimentality, which stands back from a romantic situation, laughing at it and the protagonists in it, including themselves while analyzing it intellectually. Gemini subjects take nothing seriously. So, in love, in spite of their temporary depth of feeling, for the intensity of involvement lasts only while it is new, they are superficial, light-hearted, cool, flirtatious and unimaginative in the understanding of the pain they may give others. They like intrigue, the excitement of the chase, but once they have caught the prey, they lose interest and look around for the next creature to pursue. In less serious situations they make witty, entertaining companions, good acquaintances rather than friends. Even at their worst they are never dull - there is usually playfulness below the surface, and they can be brilliant conversationalists - but they can also be quarrelsome, prattlers, boasters, liars and cheats.

-manipulators of language, in speech and writing

The Horoscope Investigation : Pt 1

Today's papers were E Mths and Social Studies(SS), and gosh, I think they went well cause I THINK that those papers were easy. A little too easy.*Gulps*

Ok forget about those long tuitions I am having these days, and I want to focus on one thing for now.

This Horoscope system has intrigue me since I was a little boy, but I paid no special attention to it, cause...I'm can't be bothered =X

The 2 Weeks Countdown

Every beginning has an end, but this is not applicable to everything
*I like this phrase. Sounds holy.

= Give me 2 more weeks. I shall catch up with the past, the present and pursue the future. =

May everything goes well for all I know, regardless of the conflicts, misunderstandings, or any other negative incicents which dampen or hurt our relationships. Should God exist, bless you all.

Thanks for that "Jia You". It make a huge difference.

Well don't think much about the previous post I posted yesterday. Or the day before. Something bad happened, and I need to vent my anger somewhere, so I posted, because killing the Covenant armies in Halo is too repetive and lacked "kick", and my com is formatted clean of its Warcraft and Dota Gametypes( -_-" You should know who ). So here I was typing away in the wee hours of saturday morning, venting my anger with words. Man I felt better, although I didn't sleep well ( O lvls stress ).

My family has that Love-Hate relations. This is how we are, and we care and love each other deeply, although we dont act it out in front of each other cause we either dont think it's necessary or it's just that we dont know how to. ( The guys in this household are good examples. )

Anyway as I am typing this post now, time is slowly ticking away, and I have a SS paper due tomorrow morning at 10. About 12 hours more(T_T). When the big 'O's is around the corner, I did what I think some may consider nuts. I signed up more 3 more subjects ( E mths, A mths and Eng ) for tuition. Remember the 4hr Physics/Chem lessons ? My tutor is teaching all those. Man he's some super powerhouse. You gotta see to believe such man exist. Anyway he's so good that I hopped in last minute to "absorb" some of his vast knowledge, with E Mths paper 1 just 2 days away and paper 2 just next Friday, and Eng just next Wednesday. A mths, I'm not so sure but it's about 2 weeks later. Take it as an insurance, cause I'm not 100% certain that I can get A1 for them. Maybe just 60~75% sure. Anyway, this may be the LAST post I write in this few weeks due to INTENSIVE studies.

Things to remember :

-Populate the computer with the necessary data
-Prepare for 2 months worth of entertainment
-Get Fen Kai's Hp no. ( Not FK -__-" )
-Get Fen Kai to lend his Chung Cheng Year Book
-Find her pic, get relevant data if possible. I think I know which school she came from =P
-Learn new things and dare to dream big :
1) Learn the Japanese language, its writings if possible
2) Perfect the way of speaking English and Mandarin. Improve on understanding of the Chinese writings
3) Learn Hokkien and communicate with Ah Ma.
4) Electric Guitar XD !!!
5) Do those DJ stuffs. Techno, Trance, remixes etc
6) Organise Class activities

*- "Bounce with me, I feel the energy, Imagine a loss of weight is coming off of me.
Oh baby, dance with me and be my fantasy tonight =P"

Just less than 1 hour ago, I got into this major fight with my

MAJOR RETARDED BROTHER WHO IS A SELF-CLAIMED COMPUTER EXPERT BUT DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SHUT DOWN THE COM PROPERLY, WHICH DIED TWICE DUE TO SUDDEN SHUTDOWN BY SWITCHING OF THE POWER, WHO'S VERY COCKY JUST BECAUSE HIS PW PRESENTATION WAS SHOWN TO THE WHOLE SCHOOL AND HAD A TEACHER TO PRAISE HIM TO THE SKIES.

over the computer. Again. The day before,this retard killed the com by abruptly cutting off its power by closing the power switch. Com can't start, the retard whines until I came home from a 4hr tuition session. I came home, attempted to save the com, but I knew my limit and decided to cease all "Saving" actions on the com until help arrives. Retard who thought he's a genius, went to PC recovery, and reformatted the whole hard disk. About 80 GB of information wiped cleaned. Thank God I backed up most files in my external Hard Disk, but then some of important information in the main Hard Disk was gone. Mr KuKu Head, with alot of confidence and pride, told our sis to convey this message to me :

"Go and tell GeGe, I repair the com liao =P."

I heard his voice. Darn cocky. I hate this attitude especially from a loser. He did not even know that he formatted the com. Til I bowed to him for being a retard.

After this whole retarded incident, I accepted the fact that the com was reformatted, and I set up a new system in the com. My dear brother had to install all those sh*t into the com again. ( Roughly 70% of the total main and external hard disk spaces were taken by his things. Among which 90% of them are junks, eg: Incompleted projects, incompleted downloads - Among which is a 5GB game but is unable to load )

I told him off, he shot back , I shot back. War begun. It was so intense that Mom had to come down to interupt. Got defeated badly, Mom went up and did her usual sh*t again. After this sh*t, Dad came down and told me off. F**K you @ssh**e. I dont get to see you more than 5hrs a week. You never spared any concern over my health. My Days. My Life. So who in the world told you to come and lecture me, although you are my Father in the name of Law.

I am emotionally dried up. I'm tired of this whole sh*t. I never had a good childhood, I never had anyone to depend on. No one. Not even my "Closest" friends understands my thoughts. It's not that they're incompetent or anything, but I'm more of a solo kia. I don't want them to know. After the 'O's, I'm gonna try to lead my OWN life. Do what I want. Get to find excuses to escape from this home. Home dont feel home anymore. My soul wander aimlessly in the dark, and amid the darkness, the moon shines lovely in the sky. Nevermind the light is reflected off the Moon's surface from the sun, the Moon does feel the void in my heart. But not all of it.

*Thinks of the song : MoonLight Shadow ( It's a great song )

I wept. For a few minutes. This has been years since I last cried. What is my purpose?

I look for this special person who can make me forget all my worries. To feel my heart flutter again. Get to feel what Love really is. Should I get to find her one day, I would also want to love her all my best. Be there for her. Live life to the fullest together.

This song by Cascada expresses what I think I think it is :

I still hear your voice, when you sleep next to me.
I still feel your touch in my dreams.
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why.
Without you it's hard to survive.

'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
'Cause everytime we touch, I feel this static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat so...
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life.

Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky.
They wipe away tears that I cry.
The good and the bad times, we've been through them all.
You make me rise when I fall.

'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
'Cause everytime we touch, I feel this static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat so...
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life.

'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.

- I feel lost. Dear God, I know this is very unlike me for I always contradict your existence, but let me score well for my "O"s to enter a good JC, and maybe, I'll get to see her, and also find out my purpose in life. I'll do my best in this remaining days towards the big "O"s, and to also always give all my best to everything which matters.

*I'm a freethinker.

Angels do exist. Dreams can become a reality

HOLY S**T, during this 2 months of "Intensive Studying CrashCourse", little did I expect to recieve such a BIG, HUMONGOUS, MEGA SHOCK during this period of time

*Refer to title above :

Angels do exist. Dreams can become a reality.

This 2 months had been topsy turvey for me, biological clock went hay-wire, day and night made no difference. I was exhasuted after the Prelims due to "Intensive Studying CrashCourse" ( I study better at LATE Night, so..you'll get the idea ), and surprisingly, the papers were kinda "easy".

And seriously, I didn't expect to get 14 points for my L1R5 ( THIS IS NOT THE BIG, HUMONGOUS, MEGA SHOCK ). This would mean that I could get to JC, and preferbly to Meridian JC, although the JC is rumored to have a horribly intensive school life there. If MAYBE I could get better grades, Victoria or Temesek JC? Hard to say lol.

Although I got 14 points for my Prelims, my parents, especially my dad totally freaked out due to several reasons :

"OMG !!!! You had got a whopping C6 for Pure Physics !!! OMG, OMG, OMG......."

"OMG !!!! You had got a whopping B3 for Pure Chemistry !!! OMG, OMG, OMG......."

"OMG !!!! You had got a whopping C6 for Combined Humanities ( Georg- Elective and SS ) !!! OMG, OMG, OMG......."

I admit I screwed this papers up, especially combined humanities, but for Physics ? NO WAY ! This subject was as good as gone once HE* walked into our class to "teach" Pure Physics. All our pleads came and went ( Due to the "softness" of the dear girls of the then 3E1, especially KKB or AKA happy Tree(as in 3) friends ),and we got stuck with HIM* for 2 whopping years.

Due to the above stated failures, I am oblinged to attend more "Intensive Studying CrashCourse" ( No No, this is not the THE BIG, HUMONGOUS, MEGA SHOCK I had ). But anyway, I have Physics and Chem intensive Group studies about 4hrs a day, almost everyday, another Physic Private tutor, Humanities intensive studies and not forgetting A maths Tuition.

Fine, I accepted what my dad had thrown at me, those tuitions and all that, and it's approximately...S$2450... Just this month only. HOLY ! ( But this is not THE BIG, HUMONGOUS, MEGA SHOCK ) Overtime, I get to accept this as I want better grades for my O levels, and I kinda like the tutors. =)

Ok, now here's THE BIG, HUMONGOUS, MEGA SHOCK which I got today. I was rushing for A maths tuition after my Physics/Chem studies at Marine Parade which ended at 5. I was late for A maths as it starts at 5. Ironic I know. Being pressed for time, I "ditched" my tuition buddies at their bus stop and made for mine, without saying a proper goodbye ( Sry people T-T ! ). I saw my bus and got on it. For those who's interested in the bus I took, it's 197, towards Bedok Bus Interchange. I boarded the bus, and made my way to an empty seat.

This is it. THE BIG, HUMONGOUS, MEGA SHOCK. I saw her. I don't know her name , but I SAW HER. There she saw seating on the seat just behind the exiting door, looking a little blur ( KAWAII. Kinda for her ). My heart raced.

She had a pony tail and a angelical face. She was dressed in a white school uniform, donning a red, scarf like tie which ran down to her chest. She literally sparkled in the sunlight. She...was a Princess, in fact, a Goddess to my eyes. She was refine. Mature. Not like those Ah Lians you'll see on streets. She had those beautiful eyes, although she wore glasses but hey, it makes her more beautiful ! And as a bonus, she has this petite figure which is stunning. Gosh, it was a rare ocassion in my life, to see such a rare beauty.

She was different from the other girls, perhaps unique ? A typical ah lian, who tucks her shirt out, wear "mini" skirt and wears a pair of nearly non-existence ankle length socks or maybe displays the bitchy/slutty side. She was the total opposite.

Plus the things i stated above, it made her a goddess. In my eyes. Usually girls would whip out their handphones or some other devices to occupy their brains during the bus trip, but for her, no! She just sat there and "enjoyed the scenary", which I don't expect many to do besides me. Although she look like she's a little lost while looking at the scenary, this is negligible.
I was like :

"HOLY S**T, she's like the girl of my dreams. No wait, She IS the girl of my dreams. OMG.... Is this an act of "God" ?"

Shocked, I was immobilized for a while, until I remembered that there were people behind me, so I went to take a seat. Again, being stunned by her beauty, I was unable to recover on time to seat beside her. Damn it, I've wasted a chance.

Anyway I sat at the back still astounded by what I saw, and I admit I did peep at her ocassionally. Before alighting, I peeped at her again. She was like looking at something (the ceiling perhaps? I'm not sure ) and when I just walked past her, she had to do this action, stretching or something similar and this resulted her chest ( MUST USE REFINED WORDS ! ) protruding, and I was just beside and facing her. Holy Crap I almost had a nosebleed.

But alas, good things never last long T-T, and we went our seperate ways. I thought that was it, and I really, really hope to see her again. Then bus no.38 went past me. And She was on the bus and I saw her. Wow~

Now I'm a believer =)
Perhaps if allowed, I would want to see her again =X

HE*, HIM* - Some Male Teacher in my school. Maybe I posted about him months ago

Hmm~ Regarding the last post bout' me being a vegetarian, after many enquires on this, I've decided to tell everyone the truth.

The truth is : I'm NOT a Vegetarian =X

My family consumes meat products, virtually the WHOLE Tan ( Mom's side ) and Neo ( Dad's side ) consumes meat products, and No~ We're not Buddhists. In fact, we're Free Thinkers. Ok maybe a little to the Taoist side ( Grandma factor - Dad's side )

Why do I NOT consume most meat products. The reason is simple : I DONT LIKE it. Don't ask me why, I just dont like it. I remembered during my younger days, like 3,4 years old, I did consume meat products. A box of McDonald chicken nuggets at the Bukit Timah McDonald restaurant, lobster meat during my Grandma's Birthday ( Mom's side ) . I dont remember why I just stop eating meat, I'm virtually freaked out by them, and just went eating veggies -.- ( Jia Zae ).

My Dad was really freaked out when I announced that I had jump to the life of a vegetarian, and forced me to eat meat, and I mean it. I was a little persistent, and resisted alot, but then for now, FOR NOW, I DO take in PROCESSED MEAT ( Phrase given by dear CK ). Processed meat as in Fish Fillets, Hams, Luncheon meat, etc...Anything that's reprocessed from meat to another form/shape other than it's original look. Anyway, I'm still not a big fan of these.

So if you guys are going to McDonald, Burger King, fear not -.-. I can eat most of the burgers there, and I love them.

- My mama once told me, that I look like a mini Buddha; Shaven head ( Near Botak ), consumes no meat products, very filial, and kind. Apparently that changed after some incidents occuring in my life, but I still have them inside me though, but I dont express out to you people =P.

- Was it a dream ? Illness which has caused me to become "Vegetarian" ? I'll need to remember bout' that -.-, but it's somehow connected to these 2.

- Going for really, really, really late dinner AKA supper. ( It's Dinner in fact -.- )

Wow I've not posted for such a long time. Even blogging seems alien to me now.

Well this past few months nothing much happened, exams, studies, gaming, you name it, nothing much.

One of the highlights was 5th of June til 8th of June, when I went on a School Field Trip to Cameron highland / Malacca for a 4 days/3 nights tour. Like always, my mom went nuts over the speed and method of me packing my luggage. Then came the day, 5th June, woke up early, played a little maple story ( I actually got a coolie map o.O ) and went to school. Problem is, we had to dress in PE attire when we depart for Malaysia, and I missed the last meeting ( Kee Chen...You didnt tell me -.-" ). I'm like some idiot dressed in some World cup 2004 shirt ( Official de ) carrying 2 big luggages. Haiz, bad start liao, then Ms Koh had to KaJiao me...

The trip to Cameron Highlands seemed short, maybe it's the "sitting in the bus" factor, or the "not looking ut the window" factor, or maybe I slept. For a very long long time. When we reach there though, it's like 7pm++, and to me that's no big deal
cause I just LOVE the night~It's cold~ it's cool~ ( minus the journey up the mountain -.- It hurts ).

Regarding over me being a Vegetarian, hmm it's hard to explain, I think I'll just post another time bout' this =P. The 1st night was a good one, me and Wes ( my room mate ) watched the World Cup on Rtv7 ? Dont remember the TV channel liao. The purpose of me going to Cameron highlands was to just relax and enjoy the climate, so what tours we did there, was kinda blurry to me, plus I had'nt have a good night sleep that time -.- ( World Cup plus the GF factor ).

The 2nd and 3rd night was kinda horrendous, Wes's GF ( Assumed, judging from how they behave towards each other ) came over to OUR room. Yesh, Gals are not allowed to come to our room, but hey, who listens ? Anyway they played, not hanky panky mind you, just cards and some other stuffs til 5++ -.-, and we need to wake up by 6~7+ -.-. I had to wake Wes up nia, and we're late often -.-".

On the 3rd day, we missed the Mega mall Shopping Trip T.T, I wanted to shop for Xbox goodies and books so badly... but hey, we DID went to Mahkota shopping complex on the last day to shop, thought this's the 3rd time I've been there this past 4 years... During the short 1 hr trip, I just bought a Xbox 360 magazine ( SGD$20 T.T ) and rumbled in the arcade there, but alas, it was time to go.

Now, I shall post one of the most disappointing thing i saw : Some malay cleaner, around the age of 40+, went to KiSiao this young kid whom I believe was below 10. That kid was ahem~ Doing his business, then that bloody cleaner ( that Old bastard ) forced open the toilet door, stared at that kid, laughed hysterically and closed the toilet door back. And he continued, continued, even when the kid cried, that old cock continued his disgusting behaviour. Bloody disgusting, even more disgusting than my younger brother of mine... I wanted to help, but my friends dragged me away..

It's not to insult Malaysians or Malays though, but that guy seriously had some issues to settle.

When I came back to S'pore, I was exhausted from talking in the bus in the darkness for hours and hours, and from chewing gums non-stop, I exhausted my jaw muscles -.-, and eating became a chore. Long trip, but good though.

I'll continue maybe later cause I've to go for tuition -.-.

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. =/
