Driving practicals have been pretty good with my instructor.. :)
Although i was ranting about how awkward it would be to have someone sitting beside you and watching you drive. I got lucky and they gave me a really crazy instructor. Hahaha.
Monday.
Learnt all the basic need-to-know about driving. seat belt, rear view mirror, side mirror, windscreen wiper, hazard light, bla bla bla.. drove a little bit back and forth then he said i was a smooth driver (cus i drove illegally before). :D
Tuesday.
He brought me out of the circuit to boost my confidence. I am seriously terrified to drive on a real road beside cars, buses, lorries whatsoever. Seriously hor, a lot of people like to bully learners on road.
There was this van who was right behind me who drove really fast and was tailgating me. So I was instructed to not get nervous just cus he goes fast and i must go fast too.. So i went really slow instead and the van had follow cus it was a 1 lane road.
and when the road opened to a 2 lane road, i was still going really slow so he wanted to overtake me from the left.. so he signalled then my instrctor told me to turn left and so i did. the van was still behind me after that. LOL. and so we needed to turn left whilst the van was going straight.. so he cut into the right lane again, then revved and zoom zoomed away.
I was a bit nervous cus i'm still a noobie, but my instructor said to me "wha good ah, you can do what i tell you to. You see, this kinda people don't need to scared of, just counter attack them if they want to bully you. they crash into you is their fault, don't care just let them crash and pay."
friday.
He was satisfied with my performance so he said we'd be going to tampines to test the gear shifting and engine braking. I stalled twice on the road, sudden braked once and stopped ahead of the stop line once. I MIGHT FAIL LIKE THAT LUH. -.- crap.
seriously the tension builds up cus i'm not really confident of myself.
We went at 82km/h along the road to tampines ikea cus he wanted me to drive faster and more confidently. My heart was screaming as i controlled the accelerator lor. i could've gone faster but i didn't dare to. seriously i'm a coward cus i don't wanna die in a road kill. :D
Besides, I can't anticipate stupid traffic lights and I get amber lights so often when i'm near the stop line. GRRRRR...
Anyway outside my driving lessons, I'm still helping out at my parents stall.
The workers from the changi store stole a few hundreds everyday for the past 4 months and now they just suddenly quit cus one was sick of working with my uncle (who helps out at the store a few hours a day) and another (china woman) wants to open a stall like ours OPPOSITE of our stall. So bloody screwed up. So as the most free one, i have to help out. oh well. i get a good amount of allowance by helping so just be filial lo.
I'll be applying for a job at the Resorts World Sentosa. I hope i can get the job cus i'm looking forward to be one of the first few to be INSIDE the universal studios in RWS. :)
travelling there would be a chore but if i earn enough, i might just rent a 2 room flat around harbourfront ( meaning outram park those 2-5 mrt stops away from harbourfront) and live alone (so i can walk around the house naked).
Please don't ask why i would like to do that but it's sort of a dream to live alone and be freely independant.
Oh well.
AND A REMINDER TO ALL:
PLEASE MAKE SURE AT 8.22PM TOMORROW, CITIZENS OF SINGAPORE ARE ENCOURAGED TO JOIN THE PLEDGE MOMENT.
AN ISLAND-WIDE RADIO WILL BE PLAYED AND EVERYONE'S SUPPOSED TO STAND ON THE SPOT AND SAY THE PLEDGE. :D
(i'm patriotic!)
in case you don't know the pledge, it goes..
we the citizens of singapore
pledge ourselves as one united people
regardless of race, language or religion
to build a democratic society
based on justice and equality
so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for our nation.
:l i haven't uploaded a lot of photos but i hope everyone will be patient enough to wait cus i need lucas to pass me the mmc reader. BAH. maybe i should get one so it wouldn't be so much trouble. okay, i'm going off.
my mozilla is kinda screwed cus my face book don't have comment buttons to click on and i can't comment, the page is purely white instead of white and blue and my blogger doesn't have the whole bar to bold words, add photos and change colour etc.
SCREWED!!! so it's gonna be a plain-boring-wordy-with-no-emphasis entry.
BAH! have a good day ahead. I'm off to be my fruit juice mei. :l
