driving test, among other things...

driving test

more on my God-sent miracle...

friday morning, house phone rang at around 8.30am... Raymond, my driving instructor, couldn't get me on my mobile since i switched it off...

imagine shock and horror when he told me some student of him got a last minute test slot at 10am!!

10AM!!!!

my test was at 11am and i was to have my warm-up lesson (plus circuit practise) at 9.30am!! b'cos of that student of his, that meant, i couldn't go for my circuit practise...

i was in a state of panic... really really panic... especially when my S-curve was the one thing i think abt every time i wake up... and i woke up alot of times the previous night too... >_<.``

he actually wanted to juz meet me before my test, without any practise or wat so ever! like i would ever pass if that happened... my circuit was already compromised, and he still wants to juz meet me before the test??!!!

in the end, he got another instructor, a Mr. Lai, to take me for 1hr, juz driving around the test routes...
well... at least that was better than nothing at all...

and thank God i did haf that 1hr of practise... b'cos the last route that Mr. Lai led me through was the exact route that i took during the test... though i had more marks this time compared to my 2nd attempt, the important thing was that i PASSED!!

i really really PASSED!!!

WOHOO!!!!!

other things...

went for a Dick Lee musical on sunday night with the hong sisters, Man of Letters, staged as the grand finale for NUS' centennial celebrations...

inspired by Professor Arthur Lim's "From a Doctor's Diary", Dick Lee wrote the music and lyrics, while the script was written by Jean Tay... set in the politically unrest Singapore in 1955, the story tells of a geeky medical student who falls in love with his childhood friend once again when they meet during their freshman yr... of cos, in comes his best fren who juz so happens to likes the girl too...

i love the musical... really really love it... Dick Lee is a genius... hands-down... there's no question abt it...

and i have to thank Ike for getting free tickets for us... heehee... Master See was invited to play the violin in the orchestra...

and of course, Lydia for asking me along for it when she was told we could get free tickets...

another of Dick Lee's musical, "Forbidden City", is having its 3rd rerun at the esplanade in Sep... and it seems like Kit Chan will be reprising her role as the young empress dowager...

hmm... i'm thinking of whether i should go for it... since i missed her in Snow.Wolf.Lake...

3rd attempt

PASSED!!!!

3rd attempt for my driving and i passed!!!!!

WOHOO!!!!!

but seriously... i think it's a God-sent miracle... more abt wat happened in my next entry... needa go sleep now...

arghhh........

but... i PASSED!!! i really really PASSED!!!!!!!

^_^.``

2nd attempt

failed my 2nd driving test, though the 1st one was taken like more than 3 yrs ago...

another immediate failure, which was frankly, quite stupid of me... esp when i did quite well for my circuit... no marks deducted in there... all the marks were from my road actually...

i reacted slow when i was supposed to be turning right and stopped right in the middle of the pedestrian crossing and abit out into the main road... i should haf turned when the traffic light (din haf right turn arrow) flashed orange but i din...

arghhhh.....!!!

stupid me.........

went home, ate my chocolates (my anti-depressants) while watching an episode of PoT and den went back to sleep...

woke up, still feeling alittle depressed, but oh well... life still goes on... i still haf work later at night...

next test date: 24/05/06

*determined look*

MUST PASS!!

driving lesson...

had my 1st lesson with my sis' driving instructor... he may be good, or so my sis says, but he's expensive!! registration, $50; 1 night lesson, $39; that's $89 juz for the 1st time!! aarrgghh.... money gone juz like that... he better be good and help me pass once... high maintenance...

pay day juz came yesterday, but yet, my money is already gone elsewhere... pay day is also the day i pay other people... here's a breakdown of where my money goes every month...

pay: $1600 (after CPF, not counting allowance)
to mom: $600 (the price to pay for studying overseas)
for offering: $150 for tithe, $50 for TA2 building fund
living expenses: $350 (to make it thru the month)
hp bill: $20 (starting from this month got corporate plan. yeah!)

if i dun haf to pay other things, like credit card bills, i probably would be able to save abt $300-400 a month... but i always seems to haf to pay something... and now, with driving... sighs, things are looking bleak... i need to eat at home or eat at work more often... save more money...

taiwan taiwan... i need money for taiwan...

Passed FTT

yeah!! i passed my FTT!!!

unbelievable, but i really did... now, next thing to do is to get my procrastinating self to call the driving instructor for the 1st lesson...

my neck is hurting again... shit... though i've been resisting, i think i need to call the "save people" auntie that helped my sis with her own back problem...

*sighs*

so many people to call... so lazy am i...
