Yay... my internet is back.. haha.. went to drink with Gurwinder and yew hup. It's been a long time since I last drank.... it's like... 6 months? Hup drank a bit and he dislike it... I drank it and it feels like red wine to me even though it's whiskey. Gurwin drank the most so he got drunk. LOL...

8/12 the final episode
YAY... WOOSH... today I am going to blog about the final episode. Yes, I passed my driving test with 14 points. :D
Hmm.. I reached the driving centre at 12.50pm. My instructor came at 1pm and I walked to his car. I immediately smiled when I saw his car..... haha... I feel much more confident when I saw that mini mirror attached to my left wing mirror again... there's hope.
Drove in the circuit and it wasn't very good... I strike kerb when I was doing my parallel parking. :( I wanted to try again but my instructor said that with effect from 1st Nov, students are only allowed to try parking once. So they decreased from trice to once. Then I have no choice but to move on. Erm.. other than that... no major mistakes... tried everything and my instructor was asking me what else have I not done? So I thought for a while and I told him everything is done.. lol.. he suddenly hit my dashboard and I jam brake. haha.. emergency brake is the one left.
Exited circuit and went on to road. Not really that good too.. so eventually my confidence dropped.
Very soon, 2.30pm came and I started to panic. Went up level 2 to hand in my IC,PDL and car insurance. Then went down the waiting room to calm myself down.
The 1st tester came... 2nd....3rd.....the 4th or 5th tester came and he called my name. I walked out and he asked me what is my car plate number... I stumbled..but luckily, I recalled. LOL...
The first impression of my tester was...... oh dear.. so strict. He asked me to walk to my car so as usual, I start the engine and wait for him to put the L plate so that my car will have 2 L plates at the front and back each.He sat beside me and asked me 'when I slam the dashboard, what does it mean'? So I said 'emergency brake, Sir'. Then he asked me to enter the circuit and so I did.
Suddenly, a phone rang and it wasn't my phone. So I ignored it. Hmm... first thing I did was directional change. Did it very smoothly while confirming safety. Drove out and yet the phone is still ringing. My tester got irritated by it so he asked me 'what's that sound? Your phone ringing ah'? So I said 'No Sir,not my phone'. He looked down and he saw a handphone... oh no.. that's my instructor's phone. I was afraid that he will be pissed because it kept ringing. So I apologised to him. Next we went on to do vertical parking. It wasn't that smooth... I turned too late so I have to drive forward in order to enter into the lot. I realise something funny.... when I look at my left, my tester will look at my right. When I look at my right, he will look at my left. So I wondered did I check the wrong blind spot? After that we went on to S course. Next is the slope.... then parallel parking....
wa... sian... I kena the 3 small lots for parallel parking.. so I was disappointed because the lot is really super small compared to the 5 lots one. I checked safety, parked in and everything is good.. phew.. I turned my steering wheel while stationary because I was scared that my wheel will hit the kerb. After that, we went to do crank course. Thanks to my mini mirror, I passed this section too. Then he said turn left to do the vertical parking... I did what he said because my mind was blank.. all I know is I have to listen to what he say. So while parking halfway, he suddenly called me to stop. I wonder what happened... did I do something wrong? He suddenly asked me 'we did this already right? why you never tell me'? I thought for 5 secs...OH YA.... I did vertical parking just now already... why are we doing this twice? So he asked me to go forward.
I stopped at the stop line and he asked me to turn right. I didn't know what am I doing.... I was about to turn right where I saw 2 cars in front of me... blocking my way... so I am stuck... I am causing obstruction to the on coming cars. I wanted to reverse but my tester called me not to reverse... behind got car.. wa siao liao... how? My front got car blocking me....my back got car blocking me... even my right also got car coming in. sian.. I worried that I will get demerit points for this. After a few seconds, the 2 cars moved off.. they saved my life.. :D
While happily driving to exit the circuit, he slammed my dashboard so I immediately jammed my brake. But for some reason, I let go of my brake when my car stopped. He asked me to move off and I forgot to signal. Oops...
Exited circuit... everything was alright... sian.. I kena Ubi ave 1 again.. The place where I dislike.
Very soon, I drove back to the centre and went up with him to print my result. He asked me to sit outside and I waited.... zzz... I waited for 3 mins and he still haven't come out yet.. I seriously panic and pray there.... what's wrong? what happened? Waited another 2 mins and he called my name. I went in the room... sat down and he explained to me my mistakes. I looked at the paper.. the first word I saw was 'Congratulations'. So I felt so relieve... I passed... finally, at my 2nd attempt. I listened closely to what he was saying.. he said I shouldn't have let go of my brake during my emergency brake. Then he said that my engine was damn loud at Ubi ave 1. I should have changed up to gear 3. Then he said that when I change lane, I should change lane diagonally... not horizontally. Then I know... shit.. I changed lane abruptly.
He gave me my result slip and he said ok...passed.. go watch the safety video at 4pm. :D :D :D
I have never felt so happy in my life like this before. Nothing can describe the feeling you get when you pass your test. I took a queue number to apply for my driving license. While I was paying $50 to make my license. I saw someone very special... someone who I vowed to take revenge on. Seek Thian Lye.... he stood right in front of me. I looked at him and he looked back at me. I smiled at him..... EAT THAT, I PASSED. haha... I feel so happy after I proved that he failed me wrongly on my 1st attempt.
Received my paper license and they will registered mail me my card license within 1 month.
My result:
Mistakes made....
1) Incorrect technique for emergency stop(circuit) - 2 points.
2) Fail to check mirror before moving off(circuit) - 2 points.
3) Incorrect positioning(exit gate of circuit) - 0 points because of free count.
4) Fail to look out for traffic/pedestrian at side road(Ubi ave 1) - 2 points.
5) Fail to use appropriate gear(Ubi ave 1) - 2 points.
6) Change lane abruptly(Ubi ave 2) - 4 points.
7) Incorrect braking/jerky/suddenly/late/very late(traffic light junction of Ubi rd 3 and Ubi ave 3) - 2 points.
Total number of demerit points: 14
Total number of immediate failure: 0
Result: Passed.
Tester: Ng Seh Hock.
He is a good tester. He will repeat his instruction so that you won't forget where to go. Didn't kena U-turn today... 1st and 2nd mistake is because of emergency brake.... I let go of brake and I moved off without checking and signaling. 3rd mistake I don't know what is it... but it's free count anyway... 4th mistake I actually got look out for car at side road.. but I just don't bother to slow down because he should give way to me. 5th mistake is because I refuse to change up to gear 3. lol... 6th mistake erm... ya... that's my habit and I know it's super dangerous. I always love to change lane horizontally like those taxi drivers. 7th mistake got 2 possible answers which I forgot which one is it... the 1st one is that I was speeding at 50km/h using gear 4. Then suddenly the traffic light turn amber then I jammed brake as hard as I can. Managed to stop in time.
The 2nd one is where I was driving straight where one car suddenly cut into my lane. I wanted to honk him but I decided not to..
I am officially a certified class 3 driver. :D WOOSH!

3/12 the final lesson
Today is my last lesson..... Before my lesson started, I was super depressed. I know I couldn't make it anymore. I am gonna fail my test on Wednesday and I will accept my fate. So I eventually gave up my hope to pass the test.
But after today's lesson, I can see a light in front of me... it's pulling me out of the darkness... it's telling me not to give up... miracles do happen. I love my lesson today. I have never felt so good in the circuit like this before. Everything is so well done.. I feel like I have returned to the time where I had my 1st driving test. My confidence is coming back to me.. I didn't even strike kerb today. The only mistake I made today was wide turning but it doesn't matter because there will be a free count for wide turning. I didn't rollback for slope, didn't mount/strike kerb for crank course and directional change. I am seriously very satisfied with my performance today.
I asked my instructor on how to check safety for both parking and he explained to me patiently. My way of checking safety is wrong... I didn't realise it until today. I always thought that since I will be reversing to the left, I should keep checking my left mirror, left blind spot and the rear windscreen. But I am wrong.. I am supposed to check the right blind spot instead. When I enter the circuit, he will always choose the things to do for me. But today, he allowed me to choose myself. :D Thanks Mr Heng... you are the best. I won't fail you.

2/12 2nd last lesson
I think I am gonna fail my driving test again for the 2nd time. I am doing so badly in the circuit that I have no confidence in passing the test anymore. I did everything so perfectly during my 1st test and yet I failed... so I guess I will fail even more badly than my 1st test. sigh... I am confused.... I need help... but I am on my own.
I mount kerb twice today. It's unbelievable.... out of the entire circuit lessons I had, I mount kerb at crank course today for the first time in my life. I really have the phobia of mounting kerb during my test. No matter how good I drive, as long as I mount kerb once, I will fail immediately.... :'(
I mount kerb the 2nd time when I was moving out of the directional change lot... sigh... that's exactly that student's mistake yesterday which failed him.
My instructor said that my turning point is wrong... I turned too early.. but if I turn later than that turning point, I am afraid my front right wheel will hit the kerb because it's very near... sigh... I am lost... what can I do to help myself? If I ever pass my test, I swear it's gonna be sheer luck.

1/12 4th driving lesson
Went to my driving centre at 2.10pm and I saw my instructor's car with double L plate in the circuit. So basically that means his student is having his driving test today. Hmm.. I think he was alright.. I saw him reversing at the crank course meaning he turned too late so he have to reverse to proceed.
I saw my friend so I chatted with her till around 2.15pm whereby I saw my instructor's car moving out to the main road. He came back at 2.30pm then I saw my instructor drove the car out. I wondered did he pass or fail.
So I went out to find my instructor cause my lesson is at 2.30pm. So I drove off and we started chatting about his student who took the test just now. I just tell him I saw his car inside the circuit etc... then he received a call from this student. Sigh.... I got emotionally affected... because this student failed the test. His result is 22 points plus 1 immediate failure. I got affected because today is that student's 2nd attempt.... which is the same situation as me where I will take my driving test next Wednesday, 8 Dec. He said that he mount kerb when he was going out for the directional change lot. Sigh... it's a pity.. the tester did not give him a chance. I heard from someone in BBDC that the testers actually give chance even if you mount kerb.
His 1st attempt is very wasted. He failed immediately just because he entered the wrong slope. The slope was meant for the opposite direction. Sigh... I am getting scared...
From Ubi I drove to Hougang ave 1 because my instructor wanted to withdraw money. :D Today is the first day I drove to Hougang area. After that, I drove past my house to go somewhere near IMH because my instructor need to give someone the money. I was speeding at 60km/h using 4th gear all the way. :D It's been a long time since I am able to speed at 60. Major mistakes committed: Veer off course. Minor mistakes committed: Engine stalled 3 times(no points deducted) and fail to use engine brake. I still don't know how to counter my mistake of fail to use engine brake so I guess I am gonna leave it..
My brake pedal didn't really work as per normal today. It's so sensitive that I think it has been locked earlier. Maybe someone depressed it too hard.
:) will be entering circuit tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I hope everything turns out well... no striking or mounting kerb please.

27/11
This morning I woke up and I saw something very shocking. It's my dream phone... Nokia N8. My father bought it yesterday as he returned his blackberry to his company. He said he bought it for only $148 and he can give it to me if I exchange phone with him. After exploring the phone, it was pretty disappointing. It didn't function as well as I expected. The shortcut applications are limited and I would say that overall, Nokia N8 is lousier than my Sony satio. The most heartbroken thing is that even though N8 and satio are both 12MP camera phone, my satio can zoom much more than N8....which puzzled me. Why would N8 be a 12MP camera phone when the maximum zoom quality is only 9MP? There are people who report that their N8 auto shut down and they are unable to on the phone for a period of time. The processor and display is really good.With an internal memory of 16GB, this device is fascinating. But many things are missing... if I am not wrong, I can't even see a calculator.
Sigh... I can't believe I am talking bad about my dream phone.. Nokia has once again, failed to satisfy its customer.
Yay... I resigned today and tomorrow shall be my last day of work. After my exam, I will find a better weekend job. To celebrate my last day of work, my friend said she will buy me a bottle of Chivas liquor. :D
Requested my instructor to buy circuit ticket for me next Wednesday so that I can practice the circuit 2 times before my driving test. Got to buck up... I am losing my confidence.. I suddenly feel that I will fail my driving test again. Luck, please be with me.

26/11 3rd lesson, 1st circuit
sigh.... I had lots of problem with my driving lesson today. I don't know what's wrong.. I seem to have lost all my judgment and skills. It's damn frustrating and disappointing. Maybe in the past I rely too much on the mini mirror installed on my left wing mirror. The mini mirror allows me to see my rear wheel so I will know how much space is left from my rear wheel to the left kerb. But now that the mini mirror is gone, everything feels so different.
Went to do parallel parking and I got 1 that has a slope too. So it's pretty hard to control the car because it tend to roll back. I strike kerb twice there. Perhaps all I cared about was to straighten my car. I didn't notice how much space I have left.
Went to do vertical parking and it feels so weird... in the past, I always turn too early. But now, I always turn too late.When going out of the lot, I mount kerb. I forgot that I have to wait for the kerb to be parallel to my shoulder before I can turn... sigh... where have all the skills I used to possess gone to?
My crank course seem to have deteriorated too.
There's too many things I got to improve inside the circuit and I only have 1 circuit lesson left.
My instructor taught me a convenient way to go out of the lot for parallel parking. :D Thanks.
For parallel parking, we know when to stop when we reverse because we can see the kerb through our mirror. But how do you know when to stop when you are driving forward when you can't see the front kerb at all? He asked me to go forward until my front wheel hit the kerb. He then asked me to remember this distance from my door handle to the back kerb. Now I feel so confident when I drive forward to straighten my car. I have kicked the habit of turning wheel whilst vehicle is stationary when I move out of the lot.
I forgot that I have to use the connecting and disconnecting clutch method for S and crank course. No wonder it feels wrong.
Sigh... worst of all, I think I saw Poh ah soon as a tester today. I happen to glance through the name tags of all the tester who pass-by me and I saw one with Poh ah soon. Is he the legendary guy who love to fail students? Even if he pass a student, he will never give someone a single digit demerit points. I heard most of the students passed by him got 18 points which mean just pass only.
But then my friend once told me he is a fat guy.. hmm.. the guy I saw wasn't really that fat. Nvm.. I just hope I don't kena him... he is worse than seek for sure.
I must get back all my skills before my test!!! 3 lessons left.

I must get back all my skills before my test!!! 3 lessons left.

25/11 2nd driving lesson
today is my 2nd lesson. Reached there at 2.40pm and knn, just nice I saw Seek Thian Lye. An Indian guy around the age of 20+ came out and god bless him... :D
today's lesson was pretty good. But then I had the same feeling during my driving test too. So I guess feeling good and confident is not sufficient.
Motorcyclist nowadays don't cherish their life. They cut through lanes in front of you as if you don't exist. I almost hit one today... it was damn near. Now I know why they say it's better to check your blind spots in case of motorcyclist.
I am quite forgetful..... I was asked to turn right and I saw the light turn from green to amber. So I stopped my car thinking that I can't cross but I forgot that after the amber light is the green arrow light. haha...
I think I broke my record today... LOL... today is the first time I negotiated a right turn at such a fast speed. I was at gear 3 and I negotiated this turn at the speed of 40 to 50km/h. I totally didn't bother to slow down and change down to gear 2. lol...
Saw a couple of double L cars.... they didn't stop at the exit gate... will they get an immediate failure for that?
4 more lessons left.

16/11 1st lesson... back to square one
Sigh... I am back to square one. lol... had my driving lesson at 7pm today. Sigh... today is the worst lesson I ever had. It feels like a nightmare. It was raining and there's bus lane at 7pm. The visibility was very poor and I seriously can't see clearly. I can't even tell if I am driving in my lane or between 2 lanes? LOL.
My engine stalled once which I don't know why.... maybe because of insufficient acceleration.. nevermind..
Drove to a public car park to practice both vertical and parallel parking. As usual, vertical parking is always the easiest. Must remember to confirm safety...
I didn't really park well for the parallel parking cause I tried my best not to look too much at my mirrors.
Hmm... I just found out from my instructor that there are 2 possibilities for 'fail to use engine brake'. The first possibility is that I depressed my clutch unnecessarily when driving on a straight road. I will never do this so I believe I didn't get penalized for doing this. The second possibility is that when I was turning, I did not release my clutch fully. Perhaps I did that... I can't remember. But I will change my habit.
Still left with 5 more lessons before I go for my warm up + practical test again. :D

12/11 miracles do happen
:D Miracles do happen. Now I strongly agree with that. haha. I have been camping at CDC's website for days just to wait for an earlier test date and finally.... I found it today. :D :D :D Login today and saw that CDC released 28 slots of timing on different day in December. Super excited and I immediately called my instructor to ask him which day is he free. :D Intended to book my driving test date on my birthday but my instructor isn't free. So I booked one day after my birthday which is 8 December at 2.45PM.
Muahahaha.. I can see that luck is smiling at me. :D
Hmm... since there's less than a month left, I got to reschedule my lessons.
I feel super duper lucky today. :P

8/11
sigh.... time seem to pass so slow. It's only 8 of Nov today. My driving retest is on 13 Jan 2011.
Hmm... maybe I was desperate to drive... I booked lesson with my instructor on next tuesday at 7pm to drive for fun. lol... so I am going to learn 1 lesson per week until 29 nov whereby I have to start studying for my mid sem test. Then when my mid sem test end, I will start learning again on 20 dec. LOL.. I was told to learn driving at night for a reason and I will find out if this reason is true or not.
sigh... I can see my money flying away again.

Hmm... since there is no title for this post, I believe everyone know that I have failed my practical driving test.. ya.. I don't know how to describe this feeling that I feel now... it's not sad or heartbroken... it's just erm... speechless? Well, I remembered I purposely chose 1st Nov because today is my grandfather's birthday.... yesterday night, I was happily telling him that tomorrow I will be having my test and I will bring back my driving license for him to see.. I am sorry, grandpa... I have failed you.
My warm-up started at 8am. I was extremely nervous and excited. Everything felt so damn bloody good today. I didn't strike kerb, I didn't mount kerb, I didn't roll backwards at the slope.. everything was so perfect... but then I made an error. I forgot that it felt so perfect because of my perception... perception is bias... I have to agree with that. Right here, I must apologise to my instructor... he did a great job after all....
I saw many students with immediate failures today. 2 students mount kerb in front of me and that's not the problem. The problem is when they mount kerb, they depress the accelerator even more which is damn retarded and one car almost hit my car. Both me and my instructor got shocked... what the hell? I saw a car crash inside the circuit... the driver wasn't a student... instead, he is a school instructor... he hit the kerb at the parallel parking... wtf? Then I got scared... but I tried my best to calm down.
From here onwards I am gonna swear so bear with me. I went in the waiting room exactly at 10am and the test examiner started calling names. I waited and waited but... my name wasn't called. I sensed something wrong... because at 10.20am, I was the only one in the waiting room. NO ONE except me. Then finally, a man came in and called my name. I greeted him and he called me to go to my car. So I walked there... start the engine and adjusted everything. My test examiner's name is Seek Thian Lye so let's call him Mr seek.
I went in the circuit and the first thing he called me to do was directional change. I tried my best to check every fucking thing as I reverse. I checked the mirror, my blindspot, the front, the left, the back and the right.
He didn't give me points for my directional change so at first I thought Mr seek is a fair examiner. I can see that Mr seek is a kan chiong person.. meaning someone who can't wait and expect everything to be fast.
So next I went up slope and everything was good too. He didn't deduct me any points so far.
So I stopped at a junction inside the circuit as it was red light. The light soon turned green and I moved off.
Then I heard something.... what's that sound? OH SHIT... it's his stylus... he is tapping his electronic device. Every time your test examiner tap his fucking device which looks like an ipad, it just means that you did something wrong. I was puzzled... did I really do something wrong? I see nothing wrong so I ignored him.
Went to do parallel parking and I admit.... I admit that all the mistakes made at the parallel parking was my fault. I turned the steering wheel while stationary, I fail to confirm safety as I parked in my car into the lot at one go without checking. Maybe I was nervous.. I forgot to check...
I did the same thing for vertical parking... fail to confirm safety. Then I was trying to turn right but there was a car coming. So I stopped and I hear his stylus touching the screen again. wtf?
We all know that there are many stop signs and white lines inside the circuit. Tons of people get immediate failure because they never come to a complete stop at the white line. I was braking where Mr seek asked me to go. Then I was like... shut up... fuck you, you want me to fail.. that's why you ask me to go. I don't care.. I will do it as long as the wrong feels right. So I stopped and ignored him despite the fact that he keep repeating go...go... Then I kena a mistake called delay in moving off. Wondered how long did I delay? I delayed 2 seconds... 2 seconds is what it takes to penalize me 2 points. Not to forget that you have to check right and left and your blindspots.
I know he is pissed off because I refused to move. But I remembered Yuwen told me... don't let the stylus affect you.. just ignore it.. so I did what he said.
I was doing my S course and I turned too late when moving out... Mr seek shaked his head and I know I will get points for wide turning.
The points I get inside the circuit is sufficient to let me pass my test. But the nightmare is here when I exit the circuit. I drive based on the traffic condition... mainly my speed is at 40km/h.... is that too slow? I don't think so.. but Mr seek thought so. I was damn blur too.. he asked me to turn right but I went to U-turn instead. So he pulled my handbrake and he was super pissed off with me. I know from that point onwards, he will purposely fail me. He will add points to ensure that I can't pass. And I already know in my heart that I will fail this test. Well, I tried my best. But I seriously didn't expect this outcome..
There is a construction work near gate 2 so I have to keep right and yet Mr seek scolded me for driving on the double white line. I know I can't cross the double white line but this is a special case. I was afraid that he will give me an immediate failure because I touched the double white line. But luckily, he did not.
I went back to CDC and I know I am gonna fail. I expected my points to be somewhere near the just fail range meaning around 22 points. But looks like I am wrong... he really wanna fail me. I followed him up the room to print my result slip and he started scolding me. He said that my driving skills are horrible and started scolding me for all the mistakes I made. Sigh... I looked at that paper and I was both shocked and surprised. Shocked because there were too many mistakes. Surprised because they were all small little tiny mistakes which contain 2 points each. I didn't make any major mistake at all.
After scolding me, he said "I have to fail you". So he gave me my results slip and I didn't know what to do.... I got 30 points... what the fuck.. I have no major mistake and yet my minor mistakes can add up to 30 points?
I read through all the mistakes and I can't believe what am I seeing... Mr Seek actually gave me a few free counts... free counts are mistakes that you made but they decided to take it as no mistake.
My result:
1) 1x Fail to use engine brake/depress clutch unnecessarily at straight road. Location: junction of Ubi Rd 3 and Ave 2. 2 points awarded but he free count.
2) 2x Fail to use engine brake/depress clutch unnecessarily at straight road. Location: Centre point of Ubi Ave 1. 2 points each so I got 4 points for this.
3) 1x Fail to use appropriate gear. Location: Centre of Ubi ave 1. 2 points.
4) Speed too slow for the road. Location: Junction of Ubi ave 3 and rd 3. 2 points.
5) Speed too slow for the road. Location: Junction of ubi rd 3 and ave 2. 2 points.
6) Speed too slow for the traffic condition. Location: Junction of ubi ave 3 and rd 3. 2 points.
7) Speed too slow for the traffic condition. Location: Centre point of Ubi ave 1. 2 points.
8) Speed too slow for the traffic condition. Location: Ubi rd 3. 2 points.
SONG BO... from my 4th to 8th mistakes, all because of speed too slow... but wait wait wait... if 40km/h is too slow, how fast you want? okay... next time I drive 80km/h for you..but don't say I didn't keep a safe following distance.. don't say I exceed speed limit please... Cause the speed limit for Ubi ave 1,3 and rd is around 50 to 60. I damn song now. All the speed too slow mistakes he can free count me one.. but he don't want. He just want to fail me. And all the time I have been keeping to the left lane. I have been using the bus lane to drive. So even if 40km/h is too slow, I see nothing wrong with that. The extreme left lane is for slow vehicles.
9) Unnecessary stopping. Location: circuit. Free count.
10) Improper turning(wide turning). Location: circuit. Free count.
The 10th mistake he got give me chance. I thank him for that.
11) Insufficient acceleration. Location: junction of Ubi rd 3 and ave 1. Free count.
12) 2x Delay in moving off. Location: circuit. 2 points each so I get 4 points for this.
13) Delay in moving off. Location: Exit gate. 2 points.
14) Fail to confirm safety for parallel parking. 4 points.
15) Turn steering wheel whilst vehicle is stationary for parallel parking. 2 points.
16) Incorrect checking of blind spot/ mirror. Location: Ubi rd 3. 2 points.
17) Fail to confirm safety for vertical parking. 4 points.
Total = 30 points. Total number of immediate failures = 0. Result: FAILED.
Yours sincerely,
SEEK THIAN LYE.
LOL... I can't stop laughing at the 16th mistake. If you say I never check my blind spot, I can accept. But if you say I check incorrectly, I am sorry... I am not a dumb ass. I know which blind spot to check.
Going to book my next test date on 13 Jan 2011. I don't really regret the mistakes that I made. I know millions of drivers out there are even worse than me and yet they passed. As they said, if you pass on your 1st attempt, it depend on your luck and the test examiner. If you pass on your 2nd attempt, it's your skill. :D I won't give up.

27/10 21st driving lesson... the 2nd final episode
My lesson today was fine but still quite a number of small mistakes committed. My instructor was quite strict today... maybe because my test date is coming soon... I got to buck up and correct my mistake. Hmm.. there is a construction near gate 1 so every car have to share the same lane which can be quite dangerous.
My friend just passed with 6 points yesterday. That's cool... I am confident that I can pass but provided I don't make any silly mistake. Even those small mistakes when accumulated may fail me too.
Sigh... all I can do is to try my best and let the test examiner feel safe.
I really hope the next time I blog here..... I can write the title of the post as 'the final episode'.
Hmm.. but if I fail, I shall leave the title blank....

25/10 20th driving lesson, 4th circuit
One word can describe my lesson today. FAIL.
I did 2 immediate failure mistake today. Sigh... heartbroken.... I mount kerb while moving out from my vertical parking... the corner was too sharp... I turned my steering wheel too fast and my rear wheel went up the kerb. :'(
After that, I moved off and didn't come to a complete stop when there is a white stop line in front of me.. double sigh.... I am pretty scared now... I am scared not because I am worried I can't pass. I am just afraid that I will commit this stupid mistake during my test. :( Unforgivable.... ARGHH...
I will have my warm-up at 8am next monday and it will end at 10am. :D
:( I still owe my instructor money... lol... $30 for today circuit... $80 for warm up... and $120 for borrowing his car. Total $230.

22/10 19th driving lesson
Today's lesson was fine.... Had a few excessive gas whereby my rpm went up to 4000.
Sigh... I hate my timetable.. Monday,Tuesday,Thursday and Friday starts with 9am tutorial.
Next week is my first week of school. So the good thing is that we only need to attend the lectures.
But next next week is the week where tutorial starts. Coincidentally, my tutorial on monday is 9am to 11am. Unfortunately, my driving test is on that day which clash with my tutorial. So I have to skip my tutorial but that will leave a bad impression.... sigh... I feel guilty..
My instructor told me a funny story today. He said that his student took his first driving test and he accidentally stopped in a yellow box. So the test examiner gave him an immediate failure because of that. During his second driving test, he was at a minor road whereby he came across a yellow box in front of him. There was a traffic jam so he didn't enter the yellow box as he thought that he should not enter. But in the end, he still fail... for not entering that yellow box. LOL.... he failed twice just because of that yellow box..
9 days left for my driving test. :D

18/10 18th driving lesson, 3rd circuit
Hmm... I went in circuit today. Everything was fine... my parking was good. I think I have improved. lol.
Hmm... I think I did 2 mistakes today. While turning out after my directional change, my rear wheel brushed against the kerb. :( I feel sad... I tried my best to be careful today... but I still accidentally strike kerb.
Erm... the other mistake that I did was a serious one.. but the problem is I don't know what did I do wrong...LOL
Anyway, a double L plate private student was at the vertical parking today. So I have to give way to her. While reversing, she hit the kerb behind her car. The impact was quite big..... then I got scared.... I was imagining how will I feel if I am that girl? It feels painful to strike kerb...
Sigh... my school starts on next monday. I am anxious to see my timetable but it isn't out yet. :(
Next next monday is my practical driving test. It's getting nearer and nearer... but I won't be afraid. I will do my best to prove to the tester that my driving skill is great. :D Fight!!
Hmm... I think I did 2 mistakes today. While turning out after my directional change, my rear wheel brushed against the kerb. :( I feel sad... I tried my best to be careful today... but I still accidentally strike kerb.
Erm... the other mistake that I did was a serious one.. but the problem is I don't know what did I do wrong...LOL
Anyway, a double L plate private student was at the vertical parking today. So I have to give way to her. While reversing, she hit the kerb behind her car. The impact was quite big..... then I got scared.... I was imagining how will I feel if I am that girl? It feels painful to strike kerb...

13/10 17th driving lesson
Yew hup took his BTT today at 2pm. So I went to CDC at 1pm today to wait for him. He said his e-trial test was fine. He got 90% for his first set of paper and 96% for his second set of paper. I looked at his handbook and I found out that it's the 8th edition. The book that I used to study is the 7th edition. There are a couple of new stuff added to his book. He went in at 2pm and I waited for him.
I was supposed to have my lesson at 2.30pm but it got postponed to 3pm. So hup came out at the very last minute and he said he passed. :) Not only did he pass. He even scored 100% for it. :D Congrats.
My lesson today feel good and smooth. That's because my instructor repaired his car and I felt like I was driving that Honda civic that I used to drive. I encountered lots of slope today. Kept using my handbrake and lots of clutch controlling to be done.
I drove around the test routes at Ubi. I tried to U-turn twice at the main road today. It's been a long time..... I miss U-turning.... and I know U-turning will definitely be tested.
Hmm... the only mistake that I made today is called 'wide turning'. To clear my rear wheel from the kerb, I turned too late. So that alone will cost me 4 points if I do it on my test.
I am starting to tremble in fear as my test date is approaching nearer and nearer day by day. I believe in myself... I know I can do this... it's not hard actually... but today, while waiting for hup..... I saw many people who failed.
I saw a young girl... a girl who is near my age. She walked up to level 2 with the test examiner and she was asked to sit at a chair while the test examiner went to print her result. He passed the paper to her and she failed. Her instructor came and looked at her paper. wtf... she got 20 points.. that means she just fail. 18 is the passing mark. I feel sad for her.. seriously... why can't the test examiner just close one eye and let her pass?
I understand that mistakes are mistakes... if they don't fail her, she will never change. But sometimes, a mistake may not be a mistake to us. Hmm.. nvm...
I just hope that I pass. I don't want to waste anymore time and money. Please show mercy on me. I swear I will be a good driver once you give me that licence.
I think most people start to fail when they exit the circuit. In the circuit, some common mistakes are striking kerb, failing to check blindspot, failing to confirm safety when approaching pedestrian crossing and turning the steering wheel while stationary.
Outside the circuit, that's the part where they can mark you down for doing things that feels right but it's wrong.
Hmm... let's see... inside the circuit I will turn my steering wheel while stationary for my parallel parking. So without taking the test, I know I will get that 2 points for sure. Let's imagine I am lucky on that day. No striking of kerb at all. So outside the circuit I have got a habit of changing lane abruptly. So I will get 4 points for that. Maybe I didn't confirm safety when I turn so I will get another 4 points.
I have kicked the habit of using inappropriate gear and dragging of gear so I think I won't get points for that...
Let's say I am unlucky... I checked my blindspot but test examiner say I never check... fine.. another 4 points for that... Hmm.. total that would be 14 points.. I still have 4 points to spare.
I pray hard that I will get a fair test examiner on that day... lol.

11/10 16th driving lesson, 2nd circuit.
I was sick today... I am not feeling well.. but I don't want to call my instructor to cancel the lesson today. That's because he bought the circuit tickets for me already. It can't be refunded if I skip my lesson today. So I just go for it.
Mr Heng changed a new car again. This shall be his new and final car that I will be driving for my test. Even though it's a 2nd hand car.
I got in the car and I moved off as usual. Then when I start to move off, my instructor told me not to release the clutch too much.. just a little will do. I realise that when I clutch down fully, I just have to release my clutch like 5cm and my biting point has reached... I have never driven a car with such a low biting point before. But it's useless to complain now.. all I need to do is to get used to it... I don't have much time anymore.
Today is the worst driving lesson I ever had. I dislike all the unforgivable mistakes that I made in the circuit. If today is my test date, I would have failed right at the circuit without even going out of the circuit to the main roads.
Let's see erm.. I went up the slope and everything was fine... my car didn't roll back... but just when my car is reaching the top of the slope, I suddenly released my gas. I don't really know why did I release it too. Perhaps I thought it's time to release everything to use the engine brake. So when I release it, my engine stalled. sigh..
I tried parallel parking after that. It's so cool when I found out that my car has been modified. When I engage the reverse gear, my left wing mirror will auto turn down for me to let me see the kerb and my rear wheel. When I parked into the lot, it's time for me to move out and when I engage the 1st gear, my left wing mirror will auto turn up for me. That's very useful to me. haha.
My parallel parking erm... it's considered average bah... I know how to adjust my car so that I am in the center of the lot. But I was extremely blur today.. and I can't really concentrate because I am sick. I moved off while still engaging the reverse gear. So I step my gas and it hit the rear kerb. LOL... stupidest mistake ever made.I drove forward and I strike the front kerb too.... sigh... I don't know what's wrong with me today... everything doesn't feel good.
Went on to try the vertical parking... I had 9 tries. LOL.... 3 times per lot. Hmm... my vertical parking was erm.. better than my parallel one.. I remember there was one time where I moved off... and I was told to turn full lock to the left once the kerb is in line with my shoulder. I did what he said but I hit the kerb. :(
sigh... too many mistakes that I committed today.
After that I came across a T junction. I didn't know the lane I am in is only for turning right. I only remembered that my instructor said before that... in a T junction, by default, you should turn left. So I turned left and he jammed his brake. He didn't know what am I doing.... and I don't know what am I doing too. I can't focus at all. I am sorry.
sigh... heartbroken due to my performance today. I still have 19 days left to my test date. I just pray hard that I don't strike any kerb during my test. Oh... but one thing I find weird... I have never ever strike any kerb when I was doing S and crank course. The space is so small for crank course and yet I manage to survive.. The space for parking is so much bigger and yet I die. :(
Today's post shall be longer than usual... Yew hup is taking BTT this wednesday. Good luck to him...
sigh... I have been feeling so depressed lately.. I don't know why... it's like for no reason, I can think of committing suicide. Is there something wrong with my mind? I am starting to doubt myself..... why am I here? For whom am I here for? I am lost... I don't know where to go to for my next destination. I seem to have lost my ambition... and even my purpose in life. Is that what they call emptiness? I have forgotten what is happiness. I forgot how to smile and laugh too. Has anybody felt anything like this before?
I think I have lost my feelings too. What are feelings?
Family.... my friend once told me that a family is full of feelings. But wait... if a family consist of a father, a mother and some children.... then I am afraid I don't have a family. Do you like your family? How does a family feel like?
Friends.... I am starting to doubt what are friends too.... are friends here to help you or are they here to make use of you?
I don't need anyone to cheer me up... I just need time... to regain my feelings... to find back my memories.... to remember who am I.

6/10 15th driving lesson
Sigh.... time flies.... today is my 15th driving lesson. I have planned everything nicely. Before my practical test, I will have 21 driving lessons and 4 circuit. So I guess I am left with 6 more driving lessons to go and hopefully, I can get my driving licence.
My instructor didn't change his car today. He said he will be able to get his own car tomorrow so I believe I am able to drive his car on monday. Lets see erm... I started off by driving around. Stopped at a junction and coincidentally, there was an accident beside me. A motorcycle hit a car... that's what I saw. There were traffic police taking down their statement. So I was waiting for green light and my instructor quickly pulled his seat belt. So I realise that my instructor didn't put on his seat belt from the moment I drove off. Fortunately, the officer didn't see it. Phew... lucky lucky.
I roughly can feel how much to depress my gas to make it 2000rpm. But I still can't really feel my biting point. :(
I drove to a public car park to practice my vertical parking today. It was quite tough as I tried it without any kerb or wooden item to help me. My instructor told me to park in any lot based on the white marking. So I tried many times but I seem to turn too late. Judging from my car's position, I am not at the center of the lot. I am more to the right. So I tried to turn earlier than usual but the same thing happened. I was sad. But Mr Heng smiled at me... perhaps he was in a good mood today. :) It cheered me up. He taught me 2 things. When practising parking, the first turn is extremely important.
Practising more will allow me to have better judgment.
Hmm... after parking for several minutes, I still can't get the position that I wanted. I guess I still need to practice my parking using this toyota vios.
I did a stupid mistake today. Instead of scolding me, my instructor explained to me what did I not considered. He is the kindest instructor I have ever seen. :) Thank you Mr Heng.

4/10 14th driving lesson, 1st circuit
I reached there quite early today. So I sat down there and called my friend to chat with him on the phone. Just when the time is almost up, he ran out of battery. lol. So I waited at the same old place for Mr Heng and I saw Yongyou. I don't think he saw me. Anyway, I waited till 3.05pm and Mr Heng messaged me to look for a car with car plate number SXX0000X. So I was shocked when I saw his new car. He said he borrowed this car from his friend as his Honda civic spoiled. So I was like.... oh dear... I know something bad is gonna happen. Mr Heng went to the toilet and he asked me to depress the accelerator to 1500rpm and practice the biting point to familiarize them. After practicing for 5 mins, I still can't get used to it. My biting point became lower so I may over release my clutch... which is a bad sign as my engine will be easier to stall.
I went in circuit today!!!! haha... so excited as today is my first time entering the circuit. The good news is that there are so little cars inside. The bad news is because there are so little cars, it cost me $30 just to enter this circuit for 1 hour. My engine stalled once today as I am still not used to this new car. My first parallel parking at the 3 lots near the slope wasn't successful. I turned too late as the turning point to take note is different because of this new car again. So I reversed too fast and I hit the rear kerb..
I learned something today... once you finished your parallel parking, it's a good idea to turn your steering wheel while stationary to move off. Even though you will get 2 points for that, it's still better than moving off and then turn full lock. Because if you hit the front kerb, you will get 10 points for that. It's not worth to risk. So I will choose to get that 2 points instead. HAHA.

29/9 13th driving lesson
Hmm... my lesson today was... sigh... disappointing.
I had an intensive training on parking today. I started off with parallel parking.... then I was like.. oh dear.. what are the things to take note when I park? I seem to forget everything as I didn't practice my parallel parking for a few weeks. So I calmed myself down and I tried to recall...
I went in the 1st try and it was considered good... that's because I didn't strike the front kerb when I reverse. I thought it was a good start. But when I was told to move out of the lot, I steered my steering wheel full lock to the right but I hit the kerb in front. :( damn sad... Mr Heng told me that I did not reverse to the very end and that's the reason why I hit the front kerb... well, I thought I did... but when I open the door to see my rear wheel, it was actually quite a distance away from the rear kerb.
So I learned one thing today. You can FEEL that the distance is near but actually, there's still lots of space.
So I kept trying and I no longer strike the kerb. :D Sigh... I am just afraid that I will strike kerb during my test date... Striking of kerb is 10 points and it's a critical one. :(
I went on to practice my vertical parking after that... that's nothing wrong with my vertical parking. I can do it very well without hitting the kerb at all. So I guess I have to master my parallel parking before I enter the circuit..
Oh.. Mr Heng said he may let me enter the circuit on my next lesson.. but it's just maybe.. not confirm yet.
Hmm... I got horned by a driver today... I am fucking pissed... seriously.. I don't understand what the hell did I do wrong? I wanted to change lane as I noticed that there are some stationary cars obstructing me in my lane. So I signaled right and I looked into my mirror to check if there are cars. I noticed a car at my 5 O'clock direction so I slowed down. I didn't even turn my steering wheel to cut in his lane.. and yet he horned at me and speed up to say that he doesn't want to give way to me. :'(
That's so rude and inconsiderate... come on, I am just a learner and you can see my L plate sign. This didn't happen to me once but twice. :@

27/9 12th driving lesson
Hmm.. it was raining today... So I spent a few minutes practicing my parking and spent the rest of the time driving around again.. hmm... my friend hasn't enter circuit yet.. so I guess I will not enter circuit that soon too. :(
Let's see erm... I played my psp for like 6 hours today and I keep losing to Vanitas at the last part where my powers became darkness. I kept trying and phew... luckily, I manage to defeat him after so many tries. He's really tough. Tougher than Master Xehanort.
Anyway, I am playing Aqua's story right now and that's the last story. haha..
Oh erm.. I have got a joke to share.
A fat guy was looking at the newspaper and he saw a slimming agency advertising that they can help people to slim down and it's guaranteed. If it doesn't work, the money will be refunded. So this guy decided to try it. He called the agency and said 'Hi, I want to order your package of losing 5kg in 5 days'.
After paying the bill via credit card, he went to sleep.
The next day, his doorbell rang and he opened the door. It was a sexy lady wearing nothing but just a pair of Adidas running shoes. On her neck, there is a sign which says 'If you can catch me, I am yours'.
Without a second thought, this fat guy chased after her.
After several minutes, he couldn't chase her anymore and he decided to give up. This happened for the next 5 days and he realised that it's true that he lost 5 kg.
He called the slimming agency again to order another package. He said 'Hi, I would like to order your package of losing 10kg in 5 days'.
The next day, his doorbell rang and it's a sexy and cute girl wearing nothing but a pair of nike running shoes. On her neck, there is a sign saying 'If you can catch me, I am yours'.
The same thing happened... he didn't hesitate and he ran off chasing that girl. After several hours, he gave up.
The same thing happened for the next 5 days and he was so excited that he lost 10kg in 5 days.
He called the slimming agency once again to order it's explicit hardcore package which will cost him to lose 20kg in a day. The customer officer said 'Sir, are you sure you want this intensive supreme package of ours?' The fat guy replied him with a firm yes and he went to sleep.
The next day, he woke up and heard a doorbell. He was so fascinated that he rushed to open the door. To his horror, it was a muscular man wearing a pair of PINK nike running shoes.On his neck, there is a sign saying that 'If I catch you, you are MINE'. This fat guy screamed and ran as fast as he could. He did not stop even though it was torturing. Thus, on that particular day, he lost 20kg.

The same thing happened for the next 5 days and he was so excited that he lost 10kg in 5 days.
He called the slimming agency once again to order it's explicit hardcore package which will cost him to lose 20kg in a day. The customer officer said 'Sir, are you sure you want this intensive supreme package of ours?' The fat guy replied him with a firm yes and he went to sleep.
The next day, he woke up and heard a doorbell. He was so fascinated that he rushed to open the door. To his horror, it was a muscular man wearing a pair of PINK nike running shoes.On his neck, there is a sign saying that 'If I catch you, you are MINE'. This fat guy screamed and ran as fast as he could. He did not stop even though it was torturing. Thus, on that particular day, he lost 20kg.

22/9 11th driving lesson
Hmm.. today's lesson was fun and interesting. haha.. I learned perpendicular parking. It's so much easier than parallel parking. lol. Um.. I spent 10 mins practicing my parking and it started raining. So I drove around until time's up. haha..
I beat the orange light 3 times today and I had to stop for another 2 because there's camera. haha. Hmm.. my instructor is considering buying a new car. Heard that he is trying to bid for the COE and if he succeed, he will sell away his current car. :D
I reached a junction and the light turns amber. So I thought for a few seconds whether to stop or not..... if I stop, I would have to step on my brake harshly.... but if I don't stop, I will beat the red light. So I decided not to stop and just move on. I reached the center of the junction and saw a police car on the opposite direction trying to turn right. LOL... Luckily he didn't catch me.
I am happy that I learned everything required within 11 lessons. :D I just need to learn 2 more stuff which can only be found inside the circuit. S-shaped course and crank course.

20/9 10th driving lesson
Hmm.. it's my 10th driving lesson today. I was late by 10 mins so I only had 50 mins. Nothing much happened today.. I strike the front kerb while doing my parallel parking a couple of times.. sigh... it was disappointing but I will try my best to correct my mistake.
A dog ran across the road in front of me and I had to brake so hard just for it to cross.. how pathetic that is.. haha..
Hmm... it's almost time to enter the circuit. I just need to learn the perpendicular parking and I am ready. Sigh.. it's gonna be expensive though.. :(
Went to Clarence's house and we had so much fun talking about manual cars. haha.. He is studying automobile engineering so he knows about all those stuff in a car's engine. He bought those steering wheel, the 3 pedals and the gear etc just to play racing games. lol.. that's so cool.
I played a racing game using his computer and it's pretty interesting. The game is realistic as there is a chance that your engine will stall. :D

15/9 9th driving lesson
Hmm.. went to the same public car park to practice my parallel parking today. Still had a couple of times whereby my engine stalls but now I know the secret to counter this problem.
I just bought my UMD yesterday and I am currently playing Terra's story. Shall choose Ven's story after that followed by Aqua's story. Anyone interested to play kingdom hearts birth by sleep? I can send you the game if you wish... provided you have a psp. :D

13/9 8th driving lesson
Arrived at 3pm at the same place to wait for my instructor. It was 3.05pm and he still hasn't arrived. So I called him and he asked me to wait for him at gate 2. So I waited for another 5 mins and he came. Quickly moved off as there were many cars today... Yay.... today I learned parallel parking. It was quite tough as there are lots of steps to follow. I was told to judge my position based on the white sticker on my car's door. It was pretty fun though... haha....
My engine stalled a couple of times as I over-released my clutch when I was trying to park. Silly me.... I didn't notice that I have been depressing my brake... so when I reached my biting point, my car didn't move and I thought that I can release it further... LOL...
I mount kerb today... LOL... so sorry, Mr Heng.... I hope my car's suspension isn't damaged. I was trying to turn and I over-steered..... probably because it's an extremely sharp curve so I have to engage gear 1 and negotiate the curve real slow. So my right rear wheel went up the kerb and the impact was quite big... sigh... I apologised to Mr Heng and he was very kind... he didn't scold me. :)
Hmm.. after my lesson, I went to Hougang mall to look for a psp game called Kingdom hearts birth by sleep.
I went to 2 gaming shops and they said that it's sold out.. sigh... I really wanna buy that game... so I brought my brother to my new house and I went to Heartland mall to look for the game... The same thing happened... it's out of stock... SIGH... I troubled myself to take the train to go to compass point just to find the game and yet every single gaming shop says that it's out of stock... :(
Got to go to Chinatown to try my luck tomorrow...

10/9 7th driving lesson
Had my driving lesson today. Went to CDC and it's like so empty.... only private cars inside the circuit.... I can only see private cars with L plate. All the school's learners are not there.... maybe it's because it's holiday today... haha...
Hmm... my lesson today was something new... I learned something called 3 directional turn... oops.. I forgot it's actual name.. LOL... been reversing most of the time today.
I was speeding and negotiating a turn at the same time... Mr Heng told me that it's too fast and he pulled up my handbrake. :( Usually instructor pull up the handbrake only when it's necessary.... but I got mine pulled up.. lol... sorry for that... :(
Other than that..... everything is fine... :)
Went to Vivocity for dinner as today is my mother's birthday. Wanted to buy a psp game but they said that the game hasn't arrive. sigh... I saw it at comics connection and it's selling for $65....

7/9 6th driving lesson
Hmm.. my driving lesson today was erm... normal? lol... didn't really manage to learn any new stuff... I am waiting to learn my parking....
Almost had an accident today because I was watching my rear view mirror and an oncoming car turned right in front of me. So I didn't notice that a car is in front of me and yet I went to depress my accelerator. Phew... Mr Heng manage to save my life by depress his brake. :D Thanks a lot.
I was on my way back taking bus 25. The bus stopped at a bus stop at Hougang ave 3 and I saw an accident.. LOL.... an Indian man was driving a van. He was trying to reverse but he knocked down a motorcycle behind him... I believe he didn't check his wing mirror for cars.. lol... fortunately, the motorists wasn't on the bike..

3/9 5th driving lesson
Hmm... my lesson today was fine... quite enjoyable.. haha... and it was quite hilarious.. haha... I will tell you why later...
Erm.... I got in my car and noticed that my fuel is running out.The needle is at E but the warning light did not appear. So I told Mr Heng and he asked me to drive to a petrol station. So I happily drove from ubi to some unknown place. Went to shell petrol station to pump the fuel. I was asked to read a book while we were waiting. The book is about stopping and moving off in slopes. That's what I was going to learn later on. So I read everything and Mr Heng went to pay the bills. He came back and we moved off. :D
My engine didn't stall today.. haha... so happy about it... I drove to a place with steep up-slope and I practiced my slope balancing. It's quite interesting... Mr Heng taught me the 4 golden steps when moving off in slope.
Step 1) Engage gear 1.
Step 2) Depress gas till 1.5~2 rpm.
Step 3) Half clutch noticing the slight drop in your engine revolution.
Step 4) check mirrors, signal right, check blindspot and release your handbrake.
I was approaching a junction when Mr Heng told me to turn right. So I stopped my car as there are oncoming cars. The traffic light says green for straight going vehicles but the right turning arrow didn't appear. So if I want to turn, I have to be fast. So most of the oncoming cars have cleared my path but I noticed that a car was speeding quite fast and I don't know if I should turn or not.... I am not timid and I know that if I want to make this turn, I got to be brave...
But the problem is my car. My car is Honda civic and it's a really old car. My car's engine is pretty weak so I know that my car will not be faster than that oncoming car which is a new car. So being safe, I did not make the turn.
Sadly, the car behind me horned at me for delaying the turn... sigh.... today is the first time I got horned by another driver...
Erm... I came across this traffic light with slope. So it was red light and I have to stop. I was told to use the 4 steps to move off when the light turns green.
When the light turns green, I followed the 4 steps but my car rolled backwards instead. At that point in time, I seriously don't know what the hell happened... my gas was depressed... my clutch was at the biting point... so what happened? why did my car roll backwards? I can't think that much anymore... there are cars behind me and if I continue to roll back for another 10cm, I am gonna hit that car. So I depressed my gas hard but it still rolled back. Mr Heng depressed the brake for me and I would say..... that was lucky of me... because if he didn't depress the brake, I would have hit the car behind me. Fortunately, the car behind me didn't horn at me. Mr Heng then told nicely that my gear is in Neutral... I was shocked... seriously shocked... I remembered very clearly that I did engage gear 1.... but perhaps it didn't go in. :(
I was driving back to Ubi where I pass-by this T junction. I am at the major road and I am going straight. There is this car at the minor road waiting to turn left. I saw 2 L plate signs and I knew that this driver is having his driving test now. So I slowed down and suddenly, that car came to my lane and Mr Heng was saying.... that's a lousy driving... he fail to give way... which I agree... haha... He's gonna get some points for failing to give way to cars I guess....
After that, I ended my driving lesson and here's the funny part... LOL... I was walking to CDC by the main gate. Inside CDC there is this pedestrian crossing which everyone knows of.
So I was happily walking to this pedestrian crossing and I saw a car coming. There are 2 L plate signs and I know that this car is having his driving test now also... LOL.... so I stood there watching the car and I didn't cross the zebra crossing.... I wanna wait for that car to stop for me to proceed.
The funny part is that the car did not stop... LMAO.... ROFL.... I stared at the driver and I saw the test examiner pointing at me while talking to the driver... HAHAHA... he's gonna get penalty points for failing to give way to me,as a pedestrian in the presence of a zebra crossing... lol.... I bet he's gonna fail his test.... and if he really fail because of me, I really feel bad... LOL.....
I heard a girl talking on the phone and I was right beside her... she was saying that she failed her practical test.... She said she failed to conform safety and just because of that, she got 20+ points for her test... wow.. that's serious... I mean..... if it's really true... then I bet she didn't check her mirrors, check her blindspot etc.
I believe failing to give way to pedestrian at a zebra crossing is only 10 points.
18 points is the passing mark. If you don't do any silly mistake such as not stopping when there is a stop sign, you should have high chance of passing....
Those immediate failure mistakes are the most scariest. The test examiner won't allow you to drive any further... straight away return to the test station... and you failed.
Hmm... I am really looking forward to learn parking... I hope Mr Heng can teach me perpendicular parking in my 6th or 7th driving lesson....

1/9 4th driving lesson
Today's driving lesson was erm... average? haha...
I learned slope balancing which was manageable... You really have to make sure that you are in the correct half clutch position. Over-release of clutch will make your engine stall and under-release of clutch will result in your car rolling backwards.
I learned U-turn in both left and right direction and I was told to practice U-turn in an eight shape.
Erm... went on to U-turn in a major road with lots of cars.. haha....
Hmm.. I guess I need to practice more on my reversing... sigh... my engine stalled while I was reversing today... maybe I over-released my clutch... :(
Mr Heng was very kind.. he offered me to eat some fruits. haha... while I was in that public car-park practising my U-turn, I was asked to stop the car. So I stopped it as usual and he asked me why did the car jerk when I stop?
I was blur.... I didn't notice that my car did jerk when I stopped. So he asked me to move on and stopped again... this time, I realised that my car did jerk. So he asked me the same question again and I thought about it for a sec....
I told him that perhaps.... it's because I didn't depress my brake gently?
He replied me saying that that is not the cause of the jerk.
So I moved on and I was asked to stop again. When my car was coming to a complete halt, he asked me to release my brake.... so I did and I realise that my car no longer jerks anymore... Now I know what's the reason to it.. haha...
Hmnm... my exams are coming.... next monday shall be my first paper and next thursday shall be my last paper. Haven't really touched my finance notes but I will soon...
Oh erm... I heard a weird fact from my friend yesterday. If a Singaporean lost his cell phone, he should cancel it's SIM card ability and report the case to the police... but in Korea, things aren't the same. If you lost your cell phone, you can't report to the police as they will not help you to find it. You have to either find it yourself or buy a new cell phone. It's kinda ridiculous that the police in Korea doesn't really care about those lost and found items.

28/8
I have been making quite a number of Korean friends recently... haha.... I was told about the insane education system in Korea...
High school students in Korea have to attend lessons from 7.30am to 11pm. WOW....that's totally insane man.... that's like 15.5 hours.
1 day = 24 hours. This means that high school students spend 64.6% of their time in school... it's freaking tiring... Geez.... the horrible thing is that it's compulsory for high school students to go to school at 7.30am and the earliest time their lesson end is 8pm. They are not allowed to leave the school within 7.30am to 8pm. It's like a prison and they have to eat during their lunch and dinner time in school as well...
I really pity them now... I can fully understand why is kyo so busy last time...
On the other hand, college students in Korea are far better than college students in Singapore. Korea's college students are allowed to choose their own timing to attend lesson. This means that they have the freedom to choose morning or afternoon. That's pretty flexible....

27/8 3rd driving lesson
I woke up at 11am and it was raining heavily.... I prayed hard as today is my driving lesson... I don't want it to rain as raining will force drivers to slow down and at the same time, it takes us longer time to brake.
Fortunately, the rain did stop when it's 3pm.
My driving lesson today was freaking awesome.. haha... I really enjoyed it... my engine no longer stall as I know when to depress my clutch when I stop now.... but erm... I still fail to stop at the stop line. I tend to stop quite far away from the stop line and I need to correct my mistake.
I drove from Ubi to some places near Tampines and I went up a highway with no traffic light and no pedestrian crossing at all.I drove at 70km/h and it's so fun.. haha... listening to the sound of the engine while looking for oncoming cars.
Today is an important lesson. I was taught how to change lane, overtake and U-turn.
Oh and erm... I have been practicing on the angles to turn left and right.
I realise that turning left and right can be challenging especially when the traffic light turns from red to green and you depress your gas, release your clutch halfway and you can feel that your engine is vibrating. You really have to maintain your half clutch position while you turn.... unless you depress your gas so much that it's sufficient for you to release your clutch fully.
I drove to a public car park with very little cars but parked lorries. I learned how to U-turn to the right today and my instructor said that he will teach me how to U-turn to the left during my next lesson. In Singapore, we don't get to U-turn to the left as U-turning is always to the right...
There are several important things to take note when you U-turn. Engage the first gear and your speed should be around 5 to 10km/h. Check your mirror, signal right and you MUST check your blindspot. Lookout for oncoming cars and when it is safe, turn steering wheel 'full lock' to the right. It takes approximately 2 or 3 seconds for me to turn my steering wheel 'full lock'. As you turn, remember to look far ahead.
Hmm... I have been studying my HRM recently but I always get demotivated as my coursework is only a C. So even if I get an A for my HRM in the main exam, I believe my overall grade is only a B which I am considering to give up HRM now..lol... sigh....
Fortunately, the rain did stop when it's 3pm.

Hmm... I have been studying my HRM recently but I always get demotivated as my coursework is only a C. So even if I get an A for my HRM in the main exam, I believe my overall grade is only a B which I am considering to give up HRM now..lol... sigh....

23/8 2nd driving lesson
Had my 2nd driving lesson today... Went to sit at the driver's seat and adjusted everything as usual. My instructor called me to move off and I was shocked because I was kinda scared and nervous... so basically I engage the 1st gear, release my handbrake and release to half clutch so that my car will move like a walking man.
My instructor called me to check the mirror if there is any car coming from behind before I move out and indeed, there are lots of cars. I was told to stop my car because I can't possibly move off with so many car coming. So I depress my brake and went to release my clutch fully instead. My engine suddenly vibrate violently and it stalled. LOL... I can't imagine my engine just stalled like that... so I restart my engine and moved off...
Drove straight and learned how to change the gear. From 1st gear to the 2nd to the 3rd. I was concentrating on the road ahead and suddenly, my instructor asked me a question. He asked me is turning left or turning right more easy? At first I thought the answer was turning right because my driver's seat is at the right side and so I can judge my position more easily. Then I changed my mind thinking that both are the same. lol...
Then I found out that the answer is turning left. Which is what I did today... Keep turning left while trying to change gear and get familiar to the road.
My engine stalled a few times because when I want to stop my car, I forgot to press my clutch and I have to restart my engine again. I was happily driving and I realise that there is no car in front and behind me. So I was at gear 2 and I depress my gas so hard that it almost touched the ground... LMAO.... I can feel my accelerator pedal 70% depressed and the engine was making loud sound because I should change up to gear 3 but I didn't because there is a curve in front and I don't want to change up. So my instructor asked me why the hell am I depressing the gas so much? Sigh...
There were a few moments where some car tailgated my car.
Hmm.... booked my practical driving test today. It's on the 1st of November. Kinda too early to book it but I am rushing to get my driving license. I am currently learning 2 lessons per week which should be sufficient for me to learn everything before my test date.

17/8 1st driving lesson
Hmm... had my first driving lesson today. I saw my instructor who is a friend of my mother. He was the instructor of my mother when she was learning how to drive too. Hmm.. he seem to grow old a lot. Kinda shocked when I saw him.
So I sat at the driver's seat and adjusted my seat. Left leg almost straightened when my clutch is fully depress.... wear seat belt and adjust the mirrors. First thing first... I noticed that I can see my blind spots via my rear view mirror, the part which is beside my rear passenger seat. So I guess I don't really have to turn my head and look over my shoulder when I check my blind spots..lol... nah... still have to do that...
Hmm... I am starting to feel the difference between the actual distance of the road and the distance viewed from the driver's seat. So erm... checked that my gear is in Neutral and the handbrake is pulled up. My instructor called me to depress the accelerator pedal so that my tachometer reaches 1500rmp per minute. Well... I was wearing sport shoe which have hard soles and I seriously can't feel the pedal at all. So I depress it very gently and it went up to 1000rmp. I gently depress it further and it went up to 2500rmp with loud noise from the engine... the noise is those that you can hear in movies about racing car... it's like that they depress the accelerator pedal and release it and depress it to create those cool engine sound.
So basically I did that because I couldn't control it at all..lol... I realise that the accelerator pedal is super duper extremely sensitive. Finally my meter reached 1500rmp and my instructor called me to hold it there.... feel the sound of the engine and remember this point. I couldn't really feel the sound but I know I like that sound...LOL....
Then I was told to release the gas fully and depress it to 1500rmp again... so I repeated this step for 2 mins then somehow I manage to feel how much to press now.... but no matter how hard I try, I keep getting around 2000rmp.
So I was told not to look at the meter now and depress the gas till 1500rmp... repeated this step for another 2 mins.
I wonder why must it be 1500rmp and so I asked him. He told me the power to move off is around 1500 to 2000rmp. Anything below it the engine will stall... so I was like oh shit... I didn't know it's so important. LOL....
After that I was taught how to change gear. I depress the clutch fully and started changing gear from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4. Gear 5 is what we known as overdrive but learners will never get to use that gear. So I can't learn that. So I changed the gear and he said I changed it too fast... sigh... perhaps I thought I am playing some racing game in arcade... it took me 1 sec to change from gear 1 to gear 2. But he held my hand and took 2 secs to change... I don't really understand why must he change gear so slowly but I understand it now.
Let's see erm.... I went on to turn my steering wheel full lock and notice that his car can only turn 1.75 rounds which means 630 degree. I expected the steering wheel to be hard to turn because my car is not moving and therefore there will be friction between my tyres and the surface of the road but it turn out that the steering wheel is extremely light to turn.
Depress my clutch and went to the 1st gear. Released my clutch halfway which is what they call it the biting point or the half clutch technique. My engine starts to vibrate and if I release just a bit my engine will stall. Which is why the biting point is very important. But then when I reach my biting point, I noticed that my left knee touched the steering wheel. This should not happen but I didn't ask him why.... perhaps the steering wheel is too low for me.
Hmm... in biting point, my car start to move forward like a walking man.... pretty interesting.. in theory, they said that the connecting and disconnecting clutch technique should be used with the gas slightly depress... but in practical, this is false. I can move my car with just half clutch.
So erm.. changed to reverse gear and I was told to reverse with half clutch only. I tried but when I look at the rear windscreen, I can't see the front bonnet of the car behind me.. so I don't have the guts to reverse because I don't know where to stop so that I won't hit the car behind me... I looked at my rear view mirror and I can see the front bonnet of the car behind me... sigh... I don't understand why must we look at the rear windscreen and reverse when the rear view mirror is actually more clearer and more useful... :(
I didn't manage to depress the brake pedal at all today. All I learned was the clutch and gas pedal which I still don't know how much to press to get 1500rmp. Hmm.. the good thing is that my engine didn't stall today.... I believe my engine will stall in the next few lesson.LOL. But I am more likely to be free-wheeling which is dangerous.lol...
Didn't really manage to drive even at 20 km/h today.. sob sob...driving seems easy but it's quite tough when you are the one sitting and driving. Especially when you are just a learner with little experience and your instructor's life is in your hand when you drive.
Hmm... I seem to brag a lot about what I learned today but that's what my instructor called me to do.LOL.. to write a diary about what I did everytime I drive....
Had my schedule planned and I am going to start studying from next monday onwards. My next driving lesson is at next monday too. Oh ya.. Yuwen is taking his TP tomorrow... hope he get his license... heard that Poh ah soon have been sent to CDC to be a test invigilator. SHIT... I hope he fu** off when before I book my test date. He is a irritating,stupid and insane invigilator that everyone knows of. He will fail people no matter how good that person drive. Out of 30 people, only 1 or 2 manage to get a driving license out of him. Idiot... please go away... hope Yuwen don't get him also... if not sure die like hell..lol...

16 days left. I have been waiting for this day to come... hmm... didn't really do well for my presentation for hrm today but I don't really bother about it. Went to CDC after tutorial and booked for an e-trial test.
Hmm... kinda expensive as they charge me $10.7 for it... I was told that I can do 2 tests within 50 mins which was like erm... not bad? There are 10 papers for me to choose 2 so I anyhow choose 7 and 10. Hmm.. some of the questions appeared in my ftt before. A couple of girls came out of the room at 3.05pm and queue up again. I guess they booked 2 e-trial test in a row... cool...
Hmm... it's been a long time since I talk about some random topics.lol... let's see erm... let's talk about a couple... an ordinary boy and girl that you can see outside.. so common and usual. Some people who are single may feel happy for them.... some people may feel irritated.. but that's not my main point here.
My main focus here is that do couple really have to be together every single time? From the point of view as a single person right now, I think it's freaking weird. Let's take for example a few weeks ago, a couple boarded the bus which I am in and as the bus was crowded, there was only 2 separate seats available. So the girl sat beside me and the guy sat in front of his gf with a stranger. After a few stops, there are more empty seats and the gf told the bf to change seat.
I know there is nothing wrong with it... but then the question that came to my mind at that point in time is 'will you two die if you don't sit together'? lol... sounds rude...
Speaking of rude, sigh... I worked on Sat and sun.. both days I kena scolded by customer.
On sat a customer came to and bought some ice-cream. There's a promotion for the ice-cream but the system was not updated. So basically as a cashier, we rely heavily on the system. She asked me whether there's promotion for the ice-cream and I scanned the barcode which states that one of them have but the other don't have. So I followed the system and overcharge her. She went to check the price tag and came back to me with rude attitude saying that my customer service sucks etc.
There are so many promotions going on and they may change anytime. I only know if the system say don't have means don't have lor... so I called my manager here and while waiting for my manager, I apologised to her... cb... she gave me those cocky attitude and complaint to my manager. Gave her the discount and she went off.
On sunday an old uncle came to buy 2 packets of coffee. It was like $11.20 for 2 packets and he paid me with all the other stuff that he bought. A min later, he checked the receipt and shouted at me for overcharging him.. He keep complaining that this is not the first time he get overcharged etc... I wanted to tell him to give me a min to check the price tag but he keep complaining non stop... so after checking the tag hmm.. it seems correct.. there shld be an offer for the coffee.. called my manager down again and the uncle kept complaining and shouting. He threw all the things that he bought on my table and called me to take it back... he don't want it anymore. My manager came and told him that the price tag was actually referring to another coffee. This is when he stopped complaining and asked my manager can he change then?
I almost lose control at that time.. I really feel like telling him uncle, you come here kao pei at me for 10 minutes non stop and throw things on my table. Now you know it's your fault then you know how to nicely talk... but forget it.. sigh... as they say, when you work, customer is always right... even if the customer is wrong, you have to take it as you are the one who is in the wrong.. life is never fair. How true man...

19/7
Hmm... yesterday night I messaged the girl I like. I asked her for a date out and I got rejected.... so I am taking it that she doesn't like me and therefore, I give up liking her..haha...
Some say that if you truly like someone, you won't give up so easily... you won't give up even if she reject you.. you will persist until she accept you... I agree.... but different people have different views and personality.
Had my HRM tutorial at 12pm. Ended at 2pm and went straight to library to meet Yuwen and his friends. Went to bookshop to buy CD and envelope etc.... went back to library and went to design school to eat. One of Yuwen's friend called Haja said that his father just drove his car back from MY to SG. So everyone of us asked him to drive the car to TP and we will go other place to eat and have fun...lol...
So he went back home to take his car and we waited for him. 30 mins later he arrived and we took off. We were going to Siglap to chill and used the road to go to Parkway parade.
Wa... basically our car is at lane 2 driving straight. A car from lane 1 suddenly entered our lane without checking his blind spot. Our car nearly crashed. I was sitting behind and from what I know, Haja should have braked and horn that driver for cutting into our lane recklessly but Haja didn't. Instead, he brake a little and changed to lane 3 without signaling because there is no time to signal anymore.. he didn't check his blind spot either.. so cars behind us and beside us horned at us at the same time but it isn't our fault...
We were all scared as Haja passed his driving license for several months only. He is still on probation and is required to place the probation plate on his windscreen.lol...
We arrived at Siglap and went to Starbucks to chill... drink some coffee.... went opposite to eat at a foodcourt. Saw Mankirat smoking and I was like ....lol.. you told me that you don't smoke.. so what's this...
I smoked too but I have quit.. Same goes to Haja... he have smoked for years or months and he manage to quit which impressed me. But then one of Mankirat's friend gave Haja a cigarette and he smoked it... the weird thing is that Haja is able to get high when he smoke 1 cigarette... When I smoke 2 cigarettes a day, I don't even feel a damn thing in my brain... why the hell would anyone feel high when smoking?
So erm... went off to Changi road and Haja was speeding at 110km/h. The sign says that the speed limit is 70km/h. But this is not important.. the important thing is that there are speed cameras hidden and obviously our speed is above 70. Well... I realise something today... if you don't look at your speedometer and you drive in a place where there is only straight course such as expressway, you won't know that you are speeding so fast... your speed would be like 100km/h and above... most expressway speed limit is like 90km/h which is considered slow to some drivers.
If there is no sign of speed limit on a road, the speed limit will be 50km/h. If van,lorry and pick up can easily drive at 60km/h, what makes traffic police think that normal car drivers will drive at 50km/h?LOL...
Hmm.... went to eat at Tampines while Haja went home. Ate McDonald...chat about driving etc... took bus 17 to Pasir ris interchange. I am supposed to meet a stranger to buy his handphone at 9pm and we arrived there at 8.30pm.. So we went shopping and went to meet that stranger... hmm... not bad.. it's an uncle with a honest looking face. He is about 30 years old I believe... So when we reach, he already ordered a cup of coffee. We sat in front of him and started checking the phone... spend like 10 mins checking the phone and Yuwen signal to me to tell me make it quick. So I bought his phone and gave him my $400.
It's one of my dream phone and therefore, I am willing to spend the money on it.. lol... It's Sony ericsson Satio which I call it Selio. :D
2 dream phone of mine: Selio and Nokia N95.
Hmm.... my only dream phone now is Samsung Galaxy S which is super expensive right now... no contract cost $1000+. Guess I will wait for 2 or 3 years later for the price to drop and maybe I will buy it.
Oh erm... Apple iphone 4 is coming soon and guess what? It's gonna cost $2000+ for one with no contract if you buy it at Apple store. My first reaction was like...you must be kidding me... no 'ordinary' phone has cost more than $1500 before. Heard that there were some problems with the iphone but they manage to solve it....

So erm... went off to Changi road and Haja was speeding at 110km/h. The sign says that the speed limit is 70km/h. But this is not important.. the important thing is that there are speed cameras hidden and obviously our speed is above 70. Well... I realise something today... if you don't look at your speedometer and you drive in a place where there is only straight course such as expressway, you won't know that you are speeding so fast... your speed would be like 100km/h and above... most expressway speed limit is like 90km/h which is considered slow to some drivers.
If there is no sign of speed limit on a road, the speed limit will be 50km/h. If van,lorry and pick up can easily drive at 60km/h, what makes traffic police think that normal car drivers will drive at 50km/h?LOL...
Hmm.... went to eat at Tampines while Haja went home. Ate McDonald...chat about driving etc... took bus 17 to Pasir ris interchange. I am supposed to meet a stranger to buy his handphone at 9pm and we arrived there at 8.30pm.. So we went shopping and went to meet that stranger... hmm... not bad.. it's an uncle with a honest looking face. He is about 30 years old I believe... So when we reach, he already ordered a cup of coffee. We sat in front of him and started checking the phone... spend like 10 mins checking the phone and Yuwen signal to me to tell me make it quick. So I bought his phone and gave him my $400.
It's one of my dream phone and therefore, I am willing to spend the money on it.. lol... It's Sony ericsson Satio which I call it Selio. :D
2 dream phone of mine: Selio and Nokia N95.
Hmm.... my only dream phone now is Samsung Galaxy S which is super expensive right now... no contract cost $1000+. Guess I will wait for 2 or 3 years later for the price to drop and maybe I will buy it.
Oh erm... Apple iphone 4 is coming soon and guess what? It's gonna cost $2000+ for one with no contract if you buy it at Apple store. My first reaction was like...you must be kidding me... no 'ordinary' phone has cost more than $1500 before. Heard that there were some problems with the iphone but they manage to solve it....

Hmm... it's the 17th of July now.. I can't wait for 11th of August to come.. lol... hmm... yesterday I was busy watching some horror movies. Watched 1 movie called Phobia2 at my grandmother house and went home to watch ju-on:white ghost and black ghost. Hmm... I hope this is not the end of ju-on movies... I want more...lol...
I was asked by my friend to do the report part of my MBS project today. So I was waiting for my another friend to email me the file so that I can do the report. Suddenly when I open the file today, I realise that the report is done... So seriously I was like wtf? What happened? So I called my friend and he said because he chiong all the way while doing his query.... sigh.. I really wanna contribute as we are a team but suddenly when I wake up.... it's all done.... but well.. the good news is our MBS project is done and we will be able to submit on time. Soz... left with HRM report and role play now.
I wonder what happened to my manager recently. She asked me to work on this Thursday,Saturday and Sunday. Thursday morning I woke up just to see a message from my manager saying I don't have to work today. So Friday I messaged her to tell her that I will be working at 4 tmr right and she said tmr I don't have to come... only Sunday will do... I wonder did I work too much? In the first month of my work, I worked around 50 hours within a month. But in the second month of my work, I worked around 100 hours. Maybe they don't wanna pay me OT. :'(
So erm.... a few months ago I had this weird feeling inside my heart.... I once lost this feeling before because of my family and now I start to feel it back.... some say that this feeling is called crush.... some say that it's called interested...attracted....like..... and some call it love. I feel that I kinda like a girl now..... thanks to facebook, some of my classmates know that this girl is in my class too. But the matter is..... I can't ask her out..... I can't tell her that I like her..... I can't drop hints to show that I care for her.... all I can do is to watch her silently.... till we go into different class next semester. Well..... this is because I don't think she is interested in me... I once told myself I will never date a girl who is younger than me again. She isn't really cute...isn't pretty... isn't rich... sometimes I ask myself why did I like her? But perhaps this is love, there is no reason to like someone. Last week I abandoned my pride... I abandoned all my principles and messaged her for no reason. She replied and the next message I was about to send is to ask her out to have a dinner and watch a movie with me... but maybe I was weak.... I didn't send it to her. I am scared... not that she will reject me.... not that she will hurt me.... but afraid that history will repeat itself...I have been thinking a lot recently... to confess to her that I like her or to just give her up?
So I recalled... a few months ago.... when I was still dating my ex-gf, I loved her more than anyone else.... including myself. Because of my family problem and our long distance relationship, I did something cruel...... I can't give her the happiness that she deserve to have....
and so... I left her... leaving her crying every night thinking what have she done wrong that I wanna leave her alone..... I am sorry.... I am a bastard for that...
So I kept thinking..... if I can let go of the girl who I truly love more than anyone else because of that particular reason.... even if this female classmate of mine accept my confess and we date, I will still let go of her hands one day because of this reason again... I am not in a condition that is suitable to go into a relationship now... my heart isn't stable yet... which is why I keep holding back whenever I see her....

Soz....I skipped my tutorial and lecture on monday... Basically I didn't go to school. Instead, I went to SSDC to book my FTT. LOL...
Hmm... reached there at 12.30pm.... saw the ticket machine and there's like 4 options... one of them is to apply for PDL, the other is the conversion of license etc. So I pressed option 4 which is general enquiry and sat at the chair waiting for my number to be called. My number was G021 which look like GOAL. lol.. just kidding... There's only 2 counter and I am still waiting.... I waited for an hour but still, my number wasn't called.
Perhaps they think that general enquiry is not important at all... they seem to give priority to those applying for PDL etc students... and all the students there are Indians and China people... I am not really racist against them but frankly speaking, I have never seen an Indian applying for PDL at CDC. I only get to see them at SSDC.
So erm... the time was 2pm and my number is called. I waited for 1.5 hours just to ask them to print my BTT results so that I can book my FTT... lol....
went up to level 3 and took a queue number again. Guess what? I am served within 5 mins.
So I booked my FTT on 11th August at 2pm and I will try my best to pass it this time.
Hmm.... driving isn't as easy as I expect... perhaps I underestimated it.
Attended finance tutorial today and walked to the bus-stop to go home after that. Met Yuwen and we went to Farrer park to eat... Hmm... ate curry rice at one shop and it's very delicious... but it's a little expensive though...lol... my plate of curry rice with chicken cutler and fishball cause me $3.70 and Yuwen ordered some meat and his was $4.50.
Went to city square mall after that... hmm... today is the first time I shop at city square mall..lol... never go there before... so erm... ate some ice-cream... and went to play arcade..
Yuwen was telling me to play a car game called battle-gear...forgot what number of battle gear was it but the special thing about this machine is that there is a clutch pedal. So basically if you select your car to be a manual car, you have to treat it like a real life car.
To change gear, release the accelerator pedal, depress the clutch pedal fully and change your gear. After changing gear, release the clutch pedal by half and depress the accelerator pedal. This is what we call the 'biting point' when you depress your clutch pedal by half only. Well... if you release the clutch pedal by more than half or release it too suddenly, your engine will stall.... so I was like erm.. how ah? lol...
Luckily this is just a game... the engine won't stall.
Soz... after playing a game of this, yuwen asked me what have I learnt... I didn't know what to answer.... but I know the answer.... that is I learn nothing... that's what most people say when you ask them what have you learnt after you drive in real life.
In theory they say to change lane, you check your mirror, signal then check your blind spot and change lane.
But in practical, things are not as simple as it seems... you check your blind spot by turning your head to your left over your shoulder... but when you do that, you are not seeing what's happening in front. If the car in front of you jam brake, good luck to you...
Stopping distance = reaction distance + braking distance.
Anyway.. let's not talk about car anymore..lol... I have stopped betting ever since the match of Spain vs paraguay... and WOOSH!!! I won this match... thanks to David villa who scores the goal at the 80+ mins.
I remembered someone telling me 'no matter how you bet, Singapore pools will always be the biggest winner. You can win now.. you can win bit by bit.. but when you lose, you lose all your profit... and end up facing a loss. So there's 2 ways to earn money. 1st, go be a bookie. 2nd, once you are having a profit, you stop gambling.' which is why I chose the 2nd one...LOL...
Netherlands vs Uruguay... I think Netherlands will win... but that's what I think... some of my friends bought Netherlands win... some of my friends also bought Uruguay win because of the odds. Some bought guess the score. Holland 2-1 Uruguay... hoping for the same score for the 4th time.
Germany vs Spain.... I think Germany will win.... that's because I support Germany... but this will not be an easy game for the germans.... Spain is tougher than England and Argentina. Perhaps both teams will be more defensive... perhaps germany will allocate 2 men to mark David villa and spain will allocate 2 men to mark Klose. The ball is round...... sometimes, things just don't happen according to what we expect.
Oh... the holland vs uruguay is starting in 10 mins time... got to watch it at Channel 5.. cya... take care everyone...

Hmm... too busy to blog nowadays..lol.. been working... doing project... studying etc...
Well.... I failed my final theory test... but I am not gonna give up. I am going to SSDC to book my FTT because the waiting time is shorter there. Sigh.... it takes so long to sit for a test.. :(
Anyway, Brazil lost to Netherlands yesterday which shocked the hell out of me.... The half time was fine with Brazil leading 1-0 but suddenly... things turn 180 degree. lol... it became 1-2. I lost $30 because of this match.
Woke up today and saw that Uruguay vs Ghana was a draw but Uruguay won at penalty. So I lost another $5.
The match of Argentina vs Germany just now at 10pm was very exciting with Germany scoring 4-0. Woosh!!! Won $30.50 for this match and still waiting for the match of Spain vs Paraguay which I bought Spain win. lol...
Oh well... there is only 2 teams for South America left and they are Paraguay and Uruguay. There are 3 teams left for Europe which are Spain, Germany and Netherlands. Go Germany... I think Germany can win the world cup this year... with Brazil out of the game, Germany stands a chance... but there is still Spain... lol...
Anyway, I wonder when will Michael Ballack recover from his injury..... Germany may need him when they fight with Spain.
Yawn.. it's so late now.... working at 12pm tomorrow.. got to go to sleep now... take care everybody..

As life goes on, you will grow up. As you grow up, you will realise that so many things are changing. For example, when you were young, you feel very happy when your parents feel proud of you. You just have to do a simple task and your parents will praise you for it. But when you grow older, you find that your parents no longer praise you that often anymore. They no longer feel proud of you anymore.
Hmm... a few days ago I received a letter from my school. They say that I am in the AY2009/2010 directors honors list....which means that I am in the top 10% of the cohort right now. So I was telling my mum about it but her reaction wasn't what I expected. So I asked my mum whether she will be proud of me if I am able to enter university but she said she won't. Sigh...
What can you do to make your parent proud of you? That's the question for the day. haha...

Hmm.... I can't remember how long has it been since I last blogged.
I worked on Wednesday from 4pm to 10pm. Fell sick at around 8pm.... :(
So Thursday I woke up feeling very uncomfortable. I was having high fever and kept vomiting. :'(
Wanted to see a doctor but the clinic was closed. So had to eat some panadol instead.
Let's see erm... friday I recovered but feel a little giddy. The feeling is just like I am drunk. LOL...
So erm... friday night went to Mcdonald to watch world cup with Leslie and Gurwin. Watched Mexico vs South Africa. Expected Mexico to win but it turn out to be a draw.
France vs Uruguay was even worse. No score at all. Sigh... France without Zidane is like so worse.
England doesn't have David Beckham. Brazil doesn't have Ronaldinho. Sigh... where are all the good players?
But hmm.. 25 June will be a nice match. Portugal vs Brazil.
So erm... anyway, today I worked from 2 to 10. Still feel uncomfortable and giddy... 4pm was my lunch break. I went to eat and spent the remaining time sitting on the chair near a playground sleeping. Felt better after sleeping.. :) worked all the way to 10pm.
Hmm... lol... tomorrow 2 to 10 again.
Yawn... I am getting tired... will be blogging again when I am free... :D
