AHH!H!HH!!!!!!...thats it...i will swear off Jurong Point!!! at least for a few months.

today i was supposed to meet my job agent at Jurong Point. purpose? to return my factory uniform and authorisation swipe card, plus to submit a photo of myself. i was supposed to meet him at 1300. thus i left Ngee Ann(somewhere near Beauty World, which is somewhere in Bukit Timah) at around 1230+.

OF ALL the things to happen at the beginning leg of the journey, it had to rain. actually, i had planned to get a straight bus to Jurong Point, on bus 174. maybe i was impatient, but it jus seems forever for bus 174 to show up. thus i took the next alternative, bus 173. this bus can get me to clementi bus interchange and change another bus, 154. all in all, i got to my destination at around 1300+++,near 1400. and there was no one to be found. jus me and the rain.

ARHHHH!!!!...JURONG POINT. drawin up alot of bad memories. firstly, the lost of my bicycle after the midnite show, Lord of the Ring, the return of the King. secondly, Jurong Junior College. thirdly, army days.

that bicycle was a loan property of my cousin, thus a compensation was needed. actually, i was not so concerned abt the compensation. rather, i was very DISAPPOINTED at the very fact of that IT GOT STOLEN!!! i was kinda left stranded in JP if not for Benny and his parents.

another thing abt JP is Jurong Junior College. i guess it would represent the worst possible part of my life, in terms of behaviour, size, attitude, studies even looks. i was naive THEN.

before JJC i came from Shuqun secondary. back there, the culture was quite 'together'. together' meaning a very social. as a class, we operated as a unit, well almost. there wasnt nothing our class cannot complete, but you jus need the right motivation and incentive. hehe...

i thot JJC had the same culture, at least i thot my class had the same culture. then i started to adpot the trendy, slacker brand. i slack off. IF you notice the keyword of the previous sentence, its 'I'. while i was naive to slack off, the rest of the people worked. i got all 'E' for the first year exams. meaning, all near passes. then, gratefully, one of the lecturers showed me their dark side. thank you, Ms Joyce Koh.

although till now, it may seem that i am resenting my classmates, however, i jus resent the system. without an aggresive and non-compromising system, where would youths be so desperate to kill off competition? no one wants to lack behind, no one wants to take a wrong step and no one wants to be mean as well. i jus resent that naive me...

another part of JP which i hate is the army days i spent there. army days was one of the most escaping days of my life. i used that period to escape from my poor 'A' level results, to escape my uncertain future, to escape the undecided future and to not face my responsibilities as a son.

thankfully, i toughed it out at the end. i managed to squeeze a decision for myself and striked out a possible future and light to be in. nothing was easy in the beginning, jus like the healing of open wounds. the wounds will still hurt at the beginning, then itch alot when its near full recovery and leave a mark when it jus becomes another part of you.

hmmm...weird...i am now actually in the alpha centre at school. supposedly, researching for my final year sumo robot. guess i am blabbing too much. let this pain be a forever reminder, that discipline before all else.
