I don't usually write about school life here,but this is an exception. Just when you thought today was just a normal day...

During English class today,Cheng Yu got into a heated argument with Loh Zhen. Apparently Loh Zhen had drawn the line of Cheng Yu's patience by messing up his table. After all,he had been VERY patient as this is Loh Zhen's 10th time doing something similar. Cheng Yu was pissed off and threw her books(surprise,surprise) out the window. They were shouting and arguing like those chumps in the stock exchange room. Ms Raj interverned and tried to cool everything down,but to no avail. She did,however,manage to get Cheng Yu to retrieve the fallen books,with Khaliesah as an "escort".

After going back up to class with the books,Loh Zhen rudely snatched the books from him. Looking nothing like his usual self,Cheng Yu threw them on the floor and shouted at her in the face. That was when Ms Raj shouted "Oh my God!". The class giggled for a very short while before the situation got tense again. Khaliesah,being the nutty one,recorded everything. Just as Cheng Yu and Loh Zhen fought near the innocent dust bin,Aiman told someone jokingly to "take video". This caused Cheng Yu to get increasingly mad and choked Aiman. That was when Khaliesah shouted and pleaded him to stop. Aiman had a pissed face on him. He shoved Cheng Yu till he released the 15 second choke. That was before Cheng Yu literally carried Aiman to a nearby table. Aiman was extremely furious and proceeded to punching and kicking him. They exchanged shoves,kicks,punches etc. That was when both were calmed down. The teacher told each of them to apologise to each other. Cheng Yu was mad and thought that the whole class was against him,so he carelessly threw a chair back to the teacher's desk without looking. And it missed our report books by inches. Talk about expert aiming!

Further arguments were ensued,but the class got bolder and told both Cheng Yu and Loh Zhen off. All the involved parties were told to apologise to each other. Then the class resumed as normal,but I'm still skeptical that that's ever going to happen for the next few days.

Two weeks ago,on Tuesday,Mr Chia Yaim Chong contacted me and informed me about an upcoming stayover at a fancy apartment in Newton. He said there would be a PS3,X360,2 laptops and three televisions there. Of course,the gaming consoles would be provided by the host and host's friend,a certain bloke named Ka Wai. I accepted his offer without any questions,so as not to offend him.

*Questions I wanted to ask him*
Who are you?
Are you from social services?
What is your purpose on Earth?
Is this a PS3 vs X360 debate disguised as an innocent sleepover? If so,who are you?

Anyway,on Sunday,at approximately 2.37pm,I arrived at the apartment,Orchard Scotts. I was greeted by my old chap,Yammy. We went shooting(hoops,not people),and played at the playground. After a sweaty half hour,we retreated back to our suite. A penthouse suite,to be exact. Two floors,three bedrooms,ten boys....(DISCLAIMER:Don't think sick!) I played Test Drive with Dwayne before having a one-on-one battle with Ka Wai. We were playing CoD4. After that,I wrote some viruses before sending them to my all-time enemy who was having a cuppa at Starbucks. Virus manipulated itself and crashed his laptop. Apparently it also Bluetoothed to the cash register and he was forced to pay $6000 worth or expresso and hot cocoa.

A few hours later,we went to Newton Hawker Centre for dinner. The group and I saw a Nissan GT-R,BMW Z3 and a Lambo Gallardo Superleggera. Pictures have been uploaded. Before heading for home,the rain fell in torrents,so we were forced to do a 500m dash from the centre to the apartment? Did I mention the side gate was slightly flooded? We reached the suite,played CoD4 and TDU before heading for the pool. Note that the rain had stopped already. We went for a dip in the pool before heading for the jacuzzi. That was not all! We dashed for the hot tub. All of us. Yup. All ten of us. I swear I felt warm bubbles rise from the side,and they weren't from the machine...

We went back to the suite. Actually,it was only,Ka Wai,Dwayne,Ryan and I. Yammy and his colleagues were left behind to climb 15 flight of stairs. So two of Yammy's RI friends went home after that,leaving the eight of us grown up men. We played a friendly game of "Shove-the-dude-into-the-storeroom". In the process of having fun playing that,we damaged the door. I'll send my condolences to Yaim Chong,the late but great friend. So we watched a wrestling match. I went to the bath tub for a nice bath when Ryan opened the door. He saw my *CENSORED TO KEEP THE U.S GOVERNMENT HAPPY* and blurted it out to everyone. Oh well,there goes my self dignity. We went to Newton MRT to buy food at 7-Eleven but realised that it was closed... So I thought up a brainstorm and suggested we take the MRT all the way to Orchard for BK. Nearly everybody didn't want to guy but I persuaded them and explained that they could die in hunger,surviving on each other's fingers and intestines. We rode all the way there,got our dinner,and went back. Dwayne and I recreated a certain Top Gear scene on the way.We had a good laugh. We reached home and watched Saw III. Cool but gory. Ryan was afraid he would get jellybean nightmares. Lights off at 11pm,and I slept in the same room as Ka Wai. . Woke up the next morning to find myself topless. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ryan said I removed it while I was sleeping,because he did not want to think that either Ka Wai or I was *CENSORED TO KEEP THE U.S GOVERNMENT HAPPY*. So we woke up and had breakfast. I was left in the apartment alone without my knowledge. I ran down to find out that the breakfast room was on the SAME FLOOR as the apartment suite I slept in. I had toast and cereal,with a nice cup of tea together with my pals. We went back to the penthouse,took a shower and played more CoD4,NBA Y2k9 and TDU. I played Warhawk with Ka Wai before everybody checked out of the apartment at about 5.15pm. Dwayne hung his wet clothes at the terrace the day before but it was still wet when he collected it. What he DIDN'T know was that there was BOTH a washing machine and dryer in the kitchen. Cheers,Dwayne.

We went to BK for dinner,with Dwayne pissed off because no one wanted to follow him to Taka. Surprisingly,Dwayne was happy after his $30 meal. We went home contented. Ka Wai took a different mode of transport home. Now I am going to sleep as it is 12.46AM on Tuesday.

E-ya later!

So. I just got myself a nice 1/24 Tamiya Nismo Skyline R34 GT-R Z-Tune. Lovely,ain't it? Cost me $37. Here's the anti-climax part;I bought this car nearly two years ago. You heard it. Two years. I just didn't have the time to assemble it,paint it,or even give it 5 minutes worth of attention. Well,for my New Year's Resolution,I plan to complete building the car before December. You know why? Because I don't want to waste the last month of 2009 sitting at the corner of my room cracking my brain assembling the 200+ parts car(excluding stickers and metal transfers). Heck,I have my own social life to attend to,thank you very much. So. Back to the Tamiya. Got it at 178 Paya Lebar Road. It's basically two spaces rented out by Tamiya to make a mega shop house,containing virtually every Tamiya toy and accessory,enough to satisfy a hobby junkie's heart and pleasure.

Short history about the Z-Tune.
*20 used but thoroughly inspected Skyline R34 GT-R V-Specs were bought by Nismo.
*Nismo wanted to show this car at Nissan's anniversary in 2005.
*The GT-Rs were built ground up,with a 500hp handbuilt engine fitted into them.
*Bilstein and Sachs worked together with Nismo to create a unique suspension system specially for the Z-Tune.
*Nismo decided to use Nissan's corporate colours;silver,black and red.
*The Z-Tune bodykit are fully carbon fibre.
*All the custom Z-Tune parts are not reproduced anymore,so you won't see any Z-Tune parts on eBay.
*Only 20 Z-Tunes were made. All were snapped up under 4 hours prior to its debut at the Nismo Festival in 2005.


Well,I still have to buy paint for my special car,and to custom order photo-etched parts by Tamiya for that realistic look. Then maybe I'll get a mini studio set so I can take breathtaking photos of the GT-R posing menacingly with its unique Z-Tune bodykit and a comically powered Nismo Z1 engine. This is Godzilla in its ultimate form. This is Godzilla when touched by the magical hands at Nismo's factory. This...is the beginning of a new era.
