Hmmm....
Who would have thought that an outing with people that I never met before....
Would end up being so fun in the end.
Actually.I'm talking about the outing organised by some people in my neighbourhood,who I got to know thru wholivesnearyou.com.
They were a really fun lot.
Why is why I definitely did not regret meeting them right a whole tiring morning of Maths practice.Anyway.The whole lot of us met up at Somerset Mrt.And even though we've all talked to one another online one way or another before,this was the first time we were meeting one another.
Therefore I was pretty surprised that I was actually talking to them like old pals after some brief introductions.
They were so friendly.
Funny enough.Most of the group were guys consisting of Ryan,Cashe,Zichang,Andy etc etc.Couldn't really remember all their names.
With the 2 female organisers being Gina and Cherie.
........
Either guys have too much free time.
Or the 2 female organisers were the cause.
Hah.
I swear though.I really was there for the karaoke.
Of course to make friends also la.
Nothing else.
Hah.
Guess I'm not helping huh.
Anyway.After deciding to go Marche for "dinner".At 4pm that is.We eventually ended up going to the food court at cineleisure.Followed by more food for oe of the guys who didn't wat earlier at Burger King.
After all that.We went staright to Cuppage PLaze where the karaoke was gonna be.And seeing that it was still pretty early.The group of us went down to the Mechmaster at the basebent where some of us played pool,while others played games on the arcade machines.And much to one of the guy's surprise.Gina turned out to be a hot shot.
And finally,when it was time to go for the karaoke,Cherie was so damn happy casue she had been waiting to sing for literally the entire evening.
And oh my god.
Everyone were such good singers.
Some were canto pop experts.Others sung songs from their personal "specialised singer".And one guy absolutely rocked in English songs.
And thus.After 4 hours of pure singing enjoyment.It was time to say goodbye.
........
That's about it I guess.
Sorry if I suck at my narration.Can't help it.
Here's some group photos to make up for my sucky naration.
Till the next time.
Enjoy folks.
From Left To Right:Cashe on the left.Followed by 2 guys whose names I forgot.On his lefRyan and Zichang.
Cherie and Cashe on the left with Andy at the right.And I still can't remember the centre guy's name.
Group Photo 1.Cherie,Gina,Unknown Guy and Andy in the front row respectively.And Zichang,Cashe and Ryan on my left and right respectively.Anyway.I've given up on trying to rememeber everyone's names.
Group Photo 2.Enough said I guess.

........
I really wasn't expecting it to happen so fast.
But yet it did.
Today.
I really snapped.
Completely.
I was so angry at myself for feeling damn pissed off over a game.
That I bashed my own face.
Hah.
Stupid huh.
I think some of you may think I really need psychiatric help.
Maybe I do.
........
On the brighter side though.
That punch really woke me up to my senses.
Even though it really hurt like damn crap.
Ouch.
Now my head's beginning to throb.
Guess I really need to catch up on some sleep.
Later guys.
Hmmm.
I think exactly a year ago.I was talking about this alter-ego of mine in my blog.My previous blog on Blurty that is.And a little while after that,I had the impression that I finally managed to put "it" to sleep.For good.
I guess I was wrong.
It's back once more.
With a vengeance.
Actually,I am in the midst of doing my revision right now.All because these few days after school, I have most of the time either watching anime or online gaming.BUt I suddely really had this urge to write my blog all of a sudden.Just share a bit about myself.I guess i seldom do that in my vlog huh.Which is pretty ironic in a way.Considering that it's a blog.
Anwyay.Speaking of the alter-ego.Basically.I would call it the "insane sore loser"version of myself.And boy.I can tell you that everytime before a game.I would be a perfectly normal and pretty nice person.But once my losing streak starts.
ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE.
I dunno why.I really become a totally different person.I start becoming unreasonable.Complaining that my opponent cheats.Complaining that God is unfair.This and that.Basically being completely unreasonable.At the same time,I would also be insanely and ridicuously angry.
And the funny thing is.
I would be angry with myself.
Often pulling my hair or banging the table or this and that.
In short.Almost self torture.
Today.I've been doing some self thinking.And even though this is definitely not the first time I have made a resolution to get rid of this ugly side of me.I really hope this would be the last time.
Because.I am seriously getting tired.
And old.
Also.
I really od not wish to irritate any of my friends because of this.
Anymore.
........
Sometimes.
I really dun quite understand my inability.
To accept failure in certain things.
Yet at the same time not really caring hoots.
About certain impt stuff that I should care about.
Incomprhensible.
Well.I can nly hope I will be able to supress it better the next time.
Or get rid of it completely.
Or else.
I may just end up at a mental hospital.
Or die of stroke one day.
Someone help me.
Hah.

Damn all these projects.
Damn them all.
I really really have no time for anything else because of them.
But luckily.
Only 1 left.
After which I can finally get down to some proper studying.
Gosh.
The days are gonna be long for a while I guess.
ANYWAY.
Where was I?
Oh yeah.
As I was saying.
To go or not to go?
That was the question that kept circling our minds at that moment.And who would have thought that in the end.I was the one who made the decision.Good old super indecisive me.
"Come on.We don't get the chance to do this everyday.And what's the worse that can happen?Come on Jon.Dun be a wuss."
"But.But it's looks really dark in there.I'm kinda...kinda..."
"AFRAID?"The 2 of us gasped in surprise.
GOOD OLD HUMONGOUS MUSCULAR KING KONG BARBIE IS AFRAID OF THE DARK?
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
At this point.We both burst into laughter.And boy.Did we laugh for a long time.
"YOU......you guys better keep this to yourself....Let....Let's just go lah!"
And with that.We cycled slowly but surely into the dark forbidding looking forest.
Well I guess I have to say this to be fair to Jon.It was really a bit scary at first cycling in total silence and almost total darkness,since Jon was the only one whose bike had a night light.And I got to tell you.When this "thing" suddenly appeared in our path,the 3 of us almost died of heart failure.Only when we realised that the "thing" in our path was actually Honda Phantom parked near the side of the road did did we heave a big sign of relief.
Other than that.The trip down the dark forest path was a short and uneventful one.As less than 5 minutes later.We saw some lighted houses in the distance,which we realised were actually chalet buildings a very short while later.Feeling relieved we were out of the forest at last.We thought that the journey hence of would be a really enjoyable one and that we made the right choice in crossing the dark forest path.
Well.How wrong can we be.
After some more cycling.We came to the end of the coast and began riding on the main tar road, cycling past many large installations,governmental and private alike and finally....we arrived at this really reeally really reeally really reeally really reeally really reeally-
Ok I tink you get the point.
A really long straight road.And suddenly.I realised that I was back on that nightmarish road I cycled a year ago.That endless looking super straight long road beside the Changi Airport runway.Where the group of us actually got chased by wild dogs.I really did not wish for that to happen again.Yet at the same.Looking at the famous Changi Airport Control Tower in the distance.I started thinking aobut my friends who were currently overseas.How I wish the would come back soon.Life's so dull and boring witout them.Haiz.
Fortunately.That sentimental feeling didn't stay with me for long.
Because 15 minutes later.Feeling tired and thirsty and hungry after cycling all the way here to this god forsaken place.I realised with horror that.
We were still one the very long straight road!
At this point.I really felt like going home.And began regretting making the decision to cross that path earlier.We shoulda just turned around and cycled home.Now we are cycling all the way straight to God knows where without a destination in mind.Argg.i really should have just stayed at home.
But luckily.Th famous phrase proved to be always right."Everything that has a beginning has an end."The road began to curve finally and just when we were hoping to get a drink and some food from whatever remote civilisation that existed beyond the curve.
WE CAME TO ANOTHER LONG STRAIGHT ROAD!
OMG.At that point.I almost died of heart failure.A second time.But luckily.This road was much shorter.Very much shorter and after cycling for a while, we acutally reached a place where there was people.In fact.Many people surprisingly.
Changi Village.
Famous for the transvestites there.The 3 of us with nothing better to do decided to do a little exploring and managed to get to see a few of these unbelivably beautiful "beings".I hope I'm not being too rude.I don't know how else to describe them.Anyway.We rested for a while there and finally came up with a plan on how we can head back home.Since the idea of going up North was definitely off looking at our body condition then,Jon's friend had no choice but to follow us to our hometown area Toa payoh to rest until morning make his back home to Woodlands.
And since we didn't really know what roads to travel on that would lead us home in a shoter way.We had no choice but to begin cycling and begin hunting for the nearest MRT Station,whicih would most likely be either Tampines or Pasir Ris.Cycling for almost half an hour.We were so happy when we finally managed to find Tampines MRT Station.
The journey after that was pretty much an uneventful one since we stuck loyally to the trail of the MRT tracks,cycling under them most of the time.Meeting with an occasional dead end here and there,we would eventaully circle our way back to the MRT tracks and slowy but surely,we counted down the train stations one by one.Taking a food and water break at alternates stations.
And finally.At 5am in the morning.We reached Geylang Road.The famous red light district.(Am I doing a show for the Singapore Tourism Board or something?)Anyway.Reaching there. We decided drop by the "Oil Stick King" and get ourselves some breakfast.By that time, me and Jon's fren were already half-dead with Jon being the only one who as still wide awake as a stick and making a helluva racket.Which we wcouldn't be bothered and had no strength to bother anymore.
After breakfast,we begin making our way home.With me deciding at the alst minute to go Jon's house to stay since I was dead tired at that time and really didn't wish to hear my mum reciting the headband tightening sutra in the mddele of the night.
And thus.We come to the end of my little uneventful and "short" cycling trip.In which we managed to travel nearly a 100 kilometres in 9 hours(Pauses for applause.)
Ok.Nothing great I guess.
That's about it folks.Have fun and seeya till the next post guys!
Monday, October 04, 2004
What were you doing at 3am last night?
A.Sleeping
B.Sleeping
C.Sleeping
I guess the answer would be D.Sleeping right?
For me.I wasn't.I was cycling along the long endless road beside the Changi Airport.Watching planes take off and land on the airport.And oh my.It was really hell of an experience.Even thought this wasn't my first time.Now you would probably be wondering what the hell I was doing at that place at that time.And ridiculously enough.I'm not sure of it myself.Even until now.
However,if you really wanna know.I guess it all started with a harmless phonecall from my old buddy King Kong Barbie at around 8.30 last night.Apparently.He was going night cyclying around Singapore with a friend.And knowing that I like cycling as well.Decided to ask me to join them.And at first.I was quite tentative about the whole thing.Having had a very bad experience with overnight round Singapore cycling last year.
Yet somehow.Barely 10 mins later.I was on my way to Ang Mo Kio with him to meet up with his friend.And of course.Ang Mo Kio wasn't that far and thus,we reached there in barely half an hour.And having reached there.I was quite relieved to find out I already knew that friend of his who was going with us for the cycling trip.Sicne it would make things less complicated.Anyway.After some discussion.We decided to head down to the East Coast by cycling down to town.Going all thw way to the Esplanade and then making our way to the coast via Marine Parade.
And I gotta admit.The trip to and through town on our bicycles with Mr King Kong Barbie.Was without a doubt one of the most and terrifying and insane experiences of my life.Which I hoped never to have to experience again.We almost met with an accident with coming traffic or each other at least 10 times!My God.And I thought I was crazy enough.Anyway.After dodging traffic and pedestrians all the way from Tangs to Plaze Singapura.We finally arrived at the Esplanade in one piece.And at there.We promptly took a break at a nearby 7-11 before making our way down the Kallang Basin and towards Marine Parade.
And funny enough.Before we knew it.We already reached East Coast Park.And my my.Since I wasn't one that hadn't much of a night life.I was pretty surprised to find that the beach was actually even more crowded than town.Especially at that time of the night.And with a live band performing at the beach bar.The entire place seemed to look so damn happening.(Like I said.I dun hang out much.So pardon me for my swakuness.Haha.)Anyway.Making our way down the beach.We slowly but surely cycled towards the end of the coast.And finally.We came upon this part of the beach whereby there was a sandy path leading into what looked like a little forest.With the only problem being that there was absoltely no streetlights of soure of light whatsoever that we could see in or along the path that could allow us to see the other end.
Meaning that we were not exactly sure where the path would bring us.
Now.Even though I've somewhat ridden aross this path from the other side before a year ago.It was already such a long time ago and therefore.I couldn't really be sure whether the path would still leed us to civilisation or not.Moreover.The last time I came.It was with a big group with experienced regular bikers leading the way.Which was why at this point.Even the initially super enthu King Kong Barbie who wanted to cycle across Singapore no matter what obstacles we had to cross suddenly became hesistant about the whole thing.
To cross?Or to turn back?Obviously.King Kong Barbie opted for us to trun back.Yet strangely enough,his friend felt the exact opposite,and was pretty excited about going into the forest.So.It was up to me to make the decision.To go?Or not to go?If we got into trouble.We would have no one to help us but each other.That was the worrying thought that was going through my mind at that point.Yet at the same time.I was thinking.You don't exactly get to do this everyday.So.Turning back now would mean it would be a long time before I even cycled all the way here again.
Now what.To go?Or not to go?
(To be continued.)
