Yes, for those that knew me since the start of my blogging history, it may be quite normal by now about relocation.. Sadly, I would miss xanga. Most definitely would. Anyway, after the wise council of a genius friend, I've finally redirected to www.suicidalact.blogspot.com Do come by of course. :D Whatever it is.. This would be the last chapter of Xanga.. the blog I entrusted the whole span of over 100 plus days of blogging.. Smiles people.. Cheers!

  Alright alright. I haven't really been in the clubbing scene or hanging out with new people all that much these days. Considering the fact that I clubbed most recently only on New Year's Eve. Sad I know. And about meeting new people? Well, quite alot of them but just the kind of "hi, bye" sort of people you know? Today was different. Very much different. With all the fuss of dressing up a little bit more and yes! Wax on my hair.. cool huh? So anyway, this one my night out.

  And this is a new beginning of a brand new chapter in Jack's life..

Chapter 1

-Nightlife in Kuala Lumpur-

   The plans were laid out. Everything was seemingly perfect. Get the car, get cleaned and dressed, meet up and zoom off to a nice night out. Yes, that was what Jack had in mind when he received a call informing him of the situation and state his car was in at the current moment. Glad that the damage was finally repaired, he continues on with his life thinking everything would turn out as planned. As all stories go, the plan turned out sour as he was told again rather that the repairs were done but he would only be able to retrieve his car either the day after or on Monday. "Darn", he told himself. This meant that it's cabs again. He hated the cabs in KL. They just indulge in the pleasure of slaughtering their customers as they were the only alternative and the only means of transport other than walking back to wherever one wants to go. Never the less, the plan has to be carried out. He made a promise. "I tell you ar! You better come or I would give you this! *shows fist*" was the last words and actions he remembered coming out of his sister-in-law's mouth when he said he wasn't sure when asked about meeting up for the planned dinner party with him, his brother, brother's wife and of course the wife's sister. Darn.. a whole big family reunion. Not forgetting the other significant or rather not-so-significant people that were supposed to be attending the dinner party too. Note: Insignificant only to him. This was a sure thing to him cause he couldn't care less. It's strangers that he's never met. That's as far as he knows anyway..

  As he finally buttons up his shirt and finished prepping himself for this important function, he heads off. Having such nice relatives, an uncle picked him to his brother's home as he waited for the arrival of the brother. This was somewhat routine for him and thank God he had God given patience, this meant that he waited outside of his brother's house for 10-15 minutes before his brother finally popped out of his home all set for the big night. This was important to Jack not because of where he was going or what he was going to do. It was important because 1, his brother thinks it is. 2, first impressions matter the most. Moving on, they soon pick up the sister-in-law and off they went to their destination - heritage row. Yes, it's a place of old that was somewhat KL's treasure as it was a happening clubbing scene cum historical-ish place. The place wasn't much of a looker. Old shabby looking shophouses lined most of the streets but there were a few that were well managed and fully furbished. Clean, new and most definitely "in".

  The dinner didn't exactly start anytime soon as they rushed there thinking that they were late. Naturally, they were late but the rest were later. Sigh, us Malaysians and our timing. The whole nation should really just give a 2 hour leeway.. and just tell a certain person that a certain function was to begin 2 hours early in order for them to arrive in time. Well, this goes on with the group of people entering a posh, classy looking place for dinner. The waiters waited unlike normal coffeeshops in KL where one really needs alot of patience and waiters zoom pass without looking at the customers. Blind they were.. glasses they needed. Or more attention given to the people that matter - the customers. As they sat and made small talk, introducing themselves and so on, the fashionably late marched in. Uncalled for comments were made and the least expected of people showed up. Some unknown and others rather distant.. Dinner went on smoothly with a tinch of uneasiness as they crowd continued their small talk and just waiting to be served. Jack really did enjoy his time there. Smiles as always. Enjoying the ambience, noticing the slightest of emotions shown for boredom to excited shown on the faces of the patrons. As wolves were amongst lambs. So were the presence of the very expected guest. One would look at the crowd and just think that there was something wrong with it.

  Anyway, things started beautifully and ended much better. Had dessert and finally decided to fling the idea of clubbing out the window. They were bummed. Tired and Jack was utterly broke. This wasn't a good sign. Not at all. Relieved, they left after enjoying their time talking about past experiences over dessert. The rest of the crowd disappeared to the unknown as the four were sitting in a chinese themed restaurant idling their time away. Fun it was as they laughed and talked and smoked and ate. This was what was lost from his life - time with friends. Eversince he got together with the girl of his recent past, this never happened. Satisfied, he sits there smiling, just savouring the moment. Quiet he was, odd but true. This was a rare occasion because Jack had a tendency of being a loud mouth and a joker. Not today. First impression matters and of course, he was tired. Four hours of sleep would get you nowhere. True ain't it?

  Soon, the bestie leaves to join the rest of her friends. After all, she was the host and the sweetest girl Jack had ever met. Rich but not an airhead. Great! Good first impression I supposed. And that left three. The three musketeers, all clad in black then hails and cab and goes home. The wife and brother of course headed to their place as Jack heads home from where he was. A slow tedious walk it was but somwhat enlightening. Thought flowed into his mind of life and the future. Gladness filled him as he brimmed with joy that finally, he's back. The Jack that he aspires to be is back. Someone that was known and someone that was going to make history.. This was in a way, a good start to becoming a socialite.. or was it? Nobody knows.. only time will tell.

-End-

  Well honestly, eversince being single, I was much happier. More time for family and friends. More time for things that really mattered to me. Smiles people, Jackie boy's finally growing up.. hehehe. Oh well, that was a little chapter of my life. One night out. Really have to start clubbing in KL soon. Tried Hartamas and Bangsar. But this one seemed different. Crowds that were pleasing to the eye swarmed the streets and the clubs. Not too packed but happening enough. Classy people everywhere. Unlike those retarded places where one can see unwanted people loafing around the corner. Oh well, had a long day. A long week actually. Have plans tomorrow.. would tell about that too I supposed. :) Toodles.. signing off..

P.S. A shoutout to loved ones >> Thanks Shobaan. Yes you too Jean and Jean.. Seems rather amusing that two besties have the same name. You people gave me a great night. I appreciate it. Sorry for being quiet. Just tired.. and still new to the whole night thing.. not really much of a night person these days. :P Anyway, have fun peeps. Smile.. By the way, the depicted people in the little chapter above were actually as follows. Jack = Myself. Brother = Shobaan. Sister-in-law = Jean (Shobaan's girl). Sister of Sister-in-law = Jean (Jean's bestie). Did I get the names right? I'm sorry if I didn't.. I didn't get to know anyway. Yet again, a big thank you and a good night. Oh yes, about the car. I would get it back soon and the 1st people that would ride in it would probably be you people.. :D

  Dusk fell as the hordes of darkness and light clashed into each other. This was the final showdown for both parties. The declaration of the war began ages ago at the start of time. Nobody knew why it began but everybody knew what they wanted - victory. The armies of light fought valiantly and without fear. Fire burned in their eyes as their courage grew due to their upperhand against the enemy. Though fewer than their opponent of war, they fought with courage and the strength of a thousand men. The battle was soon to come to an end and of course with it, the war. Bloodshed was everywhere as the battlefield wreaked of the smell of death. Bodies pilled up as men fell in the arena of death. Even with their strength, the victory was not easily won. Their armies were equal in skill. They were equally matched. It was only a test of wits and depended on who wanted it more.

  Soon, the sound of clanking wavered as the warcries of the commanders began to die down. After ages of battle, it was finally over. The torches that were blazing before became nothing more than a crust of ash with cinders that were still slowly burning. With the victor's flag raised, a horn was blowned to mourne for the dead. Eventhough the armies of the light were the victors that day. There wasn't celebration or happiness. Relieved they were that the war was finally at an end. Peace was finally amongst them. Sadly, it took alot of lives along with it as the Grim Reaper grins at his reapings. So many souls were lost to the Lord of the Underworld. So many were left in despair. Never the less, it was finally over.

  At home, the men were greeted as warriors and heroes of the nation. Everyone cheered as they walked through the gates of their city. Rose petals showered them in the mark of victory as they marched between villagers that were awaiting their return. The pathway of glory was a sweet one. Even with the excitement in the air, grief and sadness filled their hearts as they lost fellow army men, friends and ultimately brothers in the battlefield. Tears of joy flooded the eyes of these brave souls even more when they come to meet their families and loved ones. They were finally home...

  The tales of battle tend to end like this. For everything in life, we have to fight for. Nothing comes easily. Conflicts and obstacles are a way of life. Anyway, I whipped out that story just so that you readers would actually know how hard it is to feel.. bored. Yes, my personal battle with boredom endured through my life. No one in their right frame of mind would daresay that they have never felt that way before. Being bored.. Yes, that's what this is all about. Thankfully for me, I finally found the solution to boredom whenever I'm at home. This is a secret weapon that I actually discovered but didn't really practice until now. You know what it is but you never really thought about it. When one is at home and bored, one can solve that problem by.. sleeping. It's true. A good rest for the body and mind. This would rejuvenate one's body and help one think better. That way, one would not actually be bored after all. Ain't that right? Beat the boredom people! Do it with me. *smiles*

  Alright, about my day. It was just an ordinary day. Slept quite peacefully and was woken up abruptly by my cousins. How rude can young children be? They just barged into my room thinking I was awake and seeing that I wasn't, made so much noise that I was forced to wake up. Little kids these days.. Gosh! Does anybody know the meaning of courtesy? Moving on, got up and had my lunch. Those pesky kids were finally gone as soon as my parents got back from church. Everything was just going fine as I had a little chit chat with them. Sister was apparently working so she didn't really join us for lunch. Right after that, I headed back to dreamland. Dreamland is a really vast place that can never really be explored entired. It is rather strange but true. Don't you agree?

  Soon, the shorter hand of the clock touches 5 and it was more or less the time I had to get up. Time for work yet again. Work starts at 7 but I tend to enjoy waking up and getting myself ready. The shower was superb. Had dinner, went online for awhile and shot off to work. Parents picked me there of course. From then on, it was truely a thrill ride. Most of you must already know that I'm currently working at a McDonald drivethrough in Kuchai Lama. Well, today was a truely enjoyable experience. I finally get the chance to work in the kitchen. Yes it sounds lame but I actually get to prepare the food. So proud of myself. And of course, I had a chance to stand at the counter to take orders too. Rather slow I was but heck, I'm learning mann.

  Gotten to know a nice, sweet gal that works there too. Not implying anything. Just that she's rather fun to be with.. at work anyway. The people there are just awesome. Didn't really feel like I was working. More of spending time with people. So yes, I had a chance to have a little chat with her and just got to know her better. The funniest thing about this scene is that.. I don't have a clue of what her name was and how old was she. All I know is that she's new and well, she works till 3? HAHAHAHA! Idiot aren't I?

  Finally, my shift was over and I had a nice long walk home as usual. Darn I miss my car. Would be getting it back soon enough. No worries about that. So I was walking. Thinking alot as I walked. About life, the future and strangely, even my Christian life. Not exactly a role model for Christianity but hey, pastor's son mann.. that's saying something. My knowledge of the Bible is apparently quite broad but head knowledge just isn't what Christianity is all about. Got to get my life straight again. And with that in mind, I somehow reached my home. So yes,. that's about how my journey ended. Of course, the usual self cleaning, prep for the next day and online-ing was underway right before I head to bed. Kay then, until next time.. toodles. :D

P.S. Shobaan, the next time you actually have something to do or is doing something, please let me know. Don't want to be lamp posting from afar. Glad to hear a nice hello from Jean too.. Hehe. One more thing, for those of you that actually think I'm emo-ing about being single and having just broke up less than a month ago. Stop thinking it. I'm not! I'm so enjoying single life. Being a bachelor does have it's advantages. Besides, I don't need to depend on a certain person to live. I got my own life to run. I'm a free spirit. Smiles people..Sorry if my phrases of thoughts sound gey (the things I write at the end of every posts).. it's just what I'm thinking at the moment.

"The road to success is a hard one. Bumpy and rough it may be. But with patience and happiness, one can pull through anything. Of course, one must always bring a friend for company.."
