Im HurT

B.U.A.N.G

*

it's funny.. i tot im prepared for it.. but then... when it happened, i still do feel sooooo sad...

*

everything was fine. though the warm-up lesson did not go smoothly and tt lowered my morale abit, but it wasnt all tt bad. yet. the TP came in one after another and called out the students whom they were allocated. then came this big size malay guy and i was hoping to myself tt im allocated to him cuz he looked friendly enuff. and true enough, he called out my name and told me i was allocated to test route 1. my morale upped abit.. gd TP, gd test route, gd weather..and in fact, i wasnt nervous at all.. seriously, nothing should go wrong...should..

*

1st station was the S course, the one tt i buang-ed quite badly during the warm up lesson and the one tt im most worried abt in the circuit. amazingly, success. then to vertical parking. success. then to slope. success. and then.....................................

*

D.I.R.E.C.T.I.O.N.A.L C.H.A.N.G.E

*

buang. madly. hopelessly. pathetically. mercilessly.

*

i really don know wad happened. i managed to get into the slot... but then when exiting, i stroke the kerb. morale nose-dived. then i tried to reverse, wanting to go back into the slot so tt i can try exiting again... but then..... i stroke again.. and i knew it was game over. worse thing was.. i was stuck there for soooo long!! there was juz no way i could get out from that silly position. i was literally trapped. TRAPPED! kept striking the kerb until the dear TP finally assisted me in getting out. OMG!

*

*

the kerb was at the door 'knob' when i turned. i looked carefully le. so y should it hit the kerb??????! i really don understand y. and.... it was really no help when little miss silly (illustrated with the red car) drove in and waited for her turn to perform the d.c when im not even out of the slot!! y she sooooo gun cheong leh?! she only L plate leh... cant she or her silly instructor see tt im a LL plate??? y they wanna come in and disturb me lehh?? they must be sooo amused to see how i buang-ed at the silly place.

there was no prob with the rest of the circuit. to the road also no prob. not many cars.. and even the most dreaded u-turn and right turn also no prob. everything was perfect except for the darn directional change.

wad happened?

this had never happen during my practice. so y now?

gosh.

on the way back, i was still carrying tt faint little hope tt perhaps the TP will still pass me cuz basically it's only the d.c which cmi. but..... he did not.

okay.. not his fault, not tt silly girl's (or her silly instructor) fault. it's plain my fault. im juz l.o.u.s.y. i should have stayed calm the 1st time i stroke and think of how to correct it. but i did not. i juz allowed myself to buang all the way.

boooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im hurt. juz becuz of a directional change. so much for doing soo many silly things b4 the test. it didnt pay off at all.

when will the 2nd attempt be? im a little too demorlised to try again. it's juz too much to bear.. perhaps i should juz end here...

argh

*

FiNaL LeaP

I don know wad im feeling now.... nervous? confident? scare? worried? oblivious?

*

time to start counting down.. it's nearer and nearer....

*

it's really no big deal u know... so many pple did it b4.... aunties, uncles, pple who r younger than me... if they can, y cant i?

*

been praticising for soooo long and doing the same old things soooo many times.... there is no reason y it should go wrong.... right????

*

so long as i remain calm and nothing cocks up... i'll be perfectly fine.

*

but y do i have a feeling tt i wont be able to sleep tmr nite..

uh-oh ~

ChrIsTmAs Eve anD ChRisTmAs DaY

had a super memorable xmas eve and xmas day this year.

*

how?

*

eve knocked off at 3pm.. hubby came fetch me and we went home to put down my stuff.. nua and played with little tricia till 7+pm and the next destination was to bukit gombak to take my driving lesson.... after lesson, we headed down to JP, wanting to catch some good food.. but then... almost all restaurants closed shops le.... ended up @ mos.... and hubby kept nagging @ me.... as if it's my fault..... took train home and countdown was perhaps @ the bus stop while waiting for bus. waited and waited b4 we realised there's no more bus service le.. then took cabby hm and tt's so much for my xmas eve...

*

tdy same thing. lesson at 12.30pm. after tt went JP again and ate at the LAI LAI restaurant... taiwan food..... wanna compare with the 'real' taiwan food we had when we were in taipei and yeah... it's not bad. shopped for a while.. then went IMM b4 came his hse for dinner and now blogging with his computer..

*

sad hor? so not happening.. (hopefully by new year eve things will take on a 360 degree change. hopefully)

*

wad to do? TP is on tues... OMG. i need as much lessons as i can now... so have to sacrifice xmas eve and xmas day. poor hubb though.. gotta wait for me while im away on lessons.. wad to do when u have a gf who has coordination prob and slow reaction?? he got his license 1st try and only after 19 lessons. i once challenged him, saying i wil get it after 18 lessons. however................ haii.... don wanna talk abt it... juz pray and will continue praying.... and... i need psychological preparation..

*

xmas eve office party went smoothly. being one of the 3 organisers, im quite proud of it. photos will blog later.

*

and did JP went for a makeover? it's so different now. JP1 and JP2.. cool... almost as big as vivo liao.... not bad not bad..

*

*

Merry (?) Xmas !

singapore flyer cocked up for >5 hours. passengers r trapped and they r 'rescued' by strapping them with the safety belts and slowly level down to the ground level.. i cant imagine wad will happen to those trapped in the top cabins.... perhaps they should send a helicopter and fetch all the passengers huh?

*

called kfc juz now to advance order the food for tmr's office party. and they said they r not accepting anymore orders islandwide for tmr cuz all orders already jammed up. stunned. got business also don wanna do? issit the 1st day they r in business and is this the 1st xmas tt they r going thru? i cant believe tt the resources r so limited tt on 23rd, they already stop taking in orders. MNC? well-established? crap. be prepared to receive my complain email.

*

no more work on sat cuz of the payout conflict. but now, gotta produce 3 days ot per week and the ot r not cumulative. all my time there, i only tried once 12days ot... and tt mth, i was soo shag tt never again did i do 12 days ot.. yet now.... like it or not.. u have to do it. haiiiii ~

*

now festive period, still got excuses not to clock 3days per week. but come jan, feb, march ..................... how???????

*

this is juz so sad..

*

anyway.. merry xmas to all. and may 2009 be a better year for all of us.

TaiPei 2008 ParT I

time to blog on the taipei trip. unlike the bangkok trip which we were quite late for checking in, we went to the airport super early this time for fear tt we wont get joint seats on the plane (which happened during the BKK trip, lucky the guy changed place with us!) went shopped at the DFS, took some pic at the december airport..
*

the v expensive rice... abt $7 per plate.. and it's cold!!!! is tt the way to treat consumers?? really wanna 'dock' foreigners...

it was super cold in taipei. though i was warned it'll be cold, i only brought along 1 sweater and 1 long shawl and my clothes were all short sleeves. tt time went japan, i was also told it'll be cold, but then it wasnt all tt cold at all. in the end brought too much clothes. so this time, i learnt to be smart. but then.. it turned out to be smart aleck.. cuz it was really v cold.. and i truly regretted not bringing more..

the 1st place we went was ximending.. of cux since it's closest to the hotel... the smelly tofu which in fact was quite nice... and not all tt smelly.. mmm.. ~ yum yum

*

2nd day at longshan temple and sun-yat-sen memorial hall....

*

*

hey! a phenomenal sight! wad's tt on top of taipei 101 ?????????!!!!!

*
take a closer look.....

*

it's a plane? no, it's a bird!..... NO! IT'S A KITE!!!!!
*
and yes, it's a kite! there were many children on school excursion i suppose... then they started playing frisbee and flying kite on the big space...... and this silly boy decided to buy a kite and 'showoff' in front of the kids and yes, he did it.. the kite flew real high till the kids came over and asked him for help to fly their kites.. but to no avail liao.. apparently gotta run super fast and far in order to set the kite flying and the boy was drained liao... lol

*

*

freakish weather though... sunny and yet at the same time cold... mmm ~

*

nxt was to taipei 101... paid abt sgd20+ to go up to the top levels.. tried on the world's fastest elevator as well. apparently take only a few secs to go up to 80+ levels..

*

the sun-yat-sen hall from 80+ levels down..

*

*

taipei from the top of 101..

*

*
nite time was to shilin nite market..
*

3rd day to cks memorial hall....

waited for the marching but in the end nothing took place. asked the in-charge there and they said there was no more marching ceremony at tt mmt.. diao.. then we went to look at the exhitbitions instead.. din know there were so many exhitbition halls in the building.. mainly abt cks...

after that was to wulai old street... quite a nice place. quiet, ulu, peaceful, cooling.... tried out the aborigines food as well.. the bamboo rice's nice!

*

it was ultra super cold! lucky at wulai, managed to get something real cheap. hat + gloves + scarf = NT100 = SGD5. woohoo.. good deal. kept me so much warmer after tt. :)

*

*

the boar meat... erm... tougher than the pork.. not all tt fanstastic..

*

and the day ends v early in taipei. abt 4+ sun will set le. by 5+, the sky will be dark le, somewad like the 7pm sky in singapore. and.. it's superr cold! in the day got sunshine, but still v cold. really quite freakish.

*

all rite, tt's all for now. when got time will continue with part 2..

*

*
