Arrgh !! Its my poles knocking day !

Just had my driving lesson no. ?? this evening.

Today, i finally understood how 震撼 it can be when the pole dropped to the ground. Usually i am very cautious of not heating the poles while i am learning to parallel park. Really an exceptional day, i've hitted both the front and back poles in 1 lesson ! I just couldn't imagine how bad the instructor's face was. I could only hear him saying "Aiyo, ah nia yo" ! hahahahahahaha.........................


And problems which i've faced today were:

1) Unable to maintain a good car start ie. release clutch to biting point and depress accelerator (instructor told me to maintain a level of acceleration before releasing the clutch, which i've found that it is incredibly difficult to master !)

2) Too harsh changing of gears. (instructor told me to do it naturally, but i think it will be abit difficult 'cos the gear knob is just so far and so heavy ! ;p)

3) "Unsmooth" changing up and down of gears (instructor said i am too slow in coordinating the whole motion, i've oledy tried my best ! maybe i'm born slow or just "sxxxxx" ?)

4) Insufficient checking of mirrors & blind spots while moving off, changing lanes & stopping. (aiyo, sometimes i also dunno when to check or just have not enough time to do the motion mah !)

5) Unable to align car along the dashed white line, before starting to parallel park. (my instructor taught me until he was so frustrated that he walked away and asked me to align properly by myself ! maybe my brain just cannot visualise the difference between turning the steering wheel left or right, while driving fwd or reversing ;p)

Arrgh !! Can somebody save me ??





X-Dengue

The dengue mania has really caused a stirring fever among the local communities. Infections soar to an all-time high of 156 reported cases in just 24hrs. Even my driving instructor was so worried that he kept reminding me not to wind down the car window everytime i am doing my parallel parking practises (i am really puzzled, always wondering how to listen to his instructions when he starts shouting outside ??)

Saw an article on newspapers on Wednesday 21st Sep 2005, "Before you know it, you've infected the mosquitoes". It has stated that parliamentary MPs have suggested to isolate and ring-fenced the dengue patients, so that they will not infect mosquitoes who may bite them and start spreading the disease anew.

Oh dear, do we have to start practising the SARS prevention measures again ?

"Take my breath away.....oh..." this is the song which FM93.3 is broadcasting now. Memories of watching the movie flow through.....

周末近在咫尺 !!! WoooHooo !!!

TGIF! Today is Friday, and weekend is just a small step ahead of us. Have you planned anything for this weekend ? I am going to my gang, Stella's new house this Sunday for her wedding discussion.

Geeez her once-in-a-life-time event is coming (8th Oct). I can hear her happy and yet excited voice over our last phone conversation. Being a 过来人, i shared with her some of my 苦与乐during the wedding preparations. So many fond memories leh...... 就好象是昨天发生的事情...;)
