well i didn't have time to do my hair this morning so i went to the office with my hair looking like a bush. HAHA. these were taken on staurday when mummy did my hair for me.




no fran. don't cut off all your hair!!
ok shing i'll try to get there early. hopefully my dad will allow me to take a day off since i've driving in the morning (:

my thoughts {10:06 PM}

took a day off on friday cause i really needed some time to rest aka sleep in and sometime to spend with myself. but i ended up spending time with my mum.

after driving lessons, i went home cause i decided to grab lunch with mum. it took her close to 3 hrs to get out of the house. she was either on the phone or thinking of what to wear. well, now you know where my terrible habit of being late comes from. it's hereditary. HAHA. so by the time we had lunch it was already 330 and the junior's match started at 3. so i thought, i'll just eat quick and go. but lunch took half and hr and driving there took 15mins. so needless to guess, the match ended just as i reached. oh well.. will make up for other matches. promise. stayed to watch vj and mi's match. been a while since i've watched hockey matches. feels so good watching but it'll be much better if i was running on the pitch instead.. well didn't really feel wanted cause the other girls besides the babies didn't talk to me at all. one even went "erm excuse me can you pass me my bag please." and she later added "sorry i don't know who you are so i don't know your name." i felt, sad? i dunno. i guess it's cause i haven't shown my face much and spend time interacting with them as well.

left halfway through the second half of vj and mi's match. mum wanted to go do her hair and that would mean hours long. i'd probably walk 10 times or more around far east till she's done. so why not do my hair as well. it needed some trimming and layering since it was getting a bit messy. and i did the bravest decision of my life.

ok. it's not the decision of my life but something along those lines since i've always liked my straight hair and it was easier to manage though i've often envied those with nice curls in their hair. so yes. i got my hair permed and it looks fine i suppose. i guess it'll grow onto me soon. the first day i looked weird, the second day it looked poof ball when i woke up and today, it's ok. it's something new and different after having straight long hair for ages. mengs says i look like some superstar. HAHA. the only thing that i totally dislike is that i've to put those hair treating products or my hair will look like grass or worse, poof ball. i've to make sure i shower earlier, put sculpting lotion, twirl them into four sections and pin them up till they are semi-dried before i can sleep. sounds tiring to me already. yet to do it myself since my mum did the first time for me. well i suppose girls that want to be pretty have to spend some effort doing something :(

i wonder how long till i give up on that routine. HAHA.



ps: i bought a curling thong 2 wks ago. i wonder what i should do with it now that my hair already have curls in them!

had my forth lesson today after 2 wks of not driving. well i was just procrastinating from either wake up early for lesson or too tired to go in the evening. and for not driving in 2 wks, i became sort of a disaster on the road.

everytime i turn left, i will be so close to hitting the left curb. the instructor will then jam brake and my car will stall. if not i'll overtake a parked vehicle or bus and be so close to striking the right curb. or i will fumble between my brake and clutch trying to figure out whether to step on when i turn the corners. there was once my left foot got stuck behind the clutch pedal. don't ask how that happened. oh and i found out that i've a terrible bad habit of holding the bottom of the steering wheel to turn corners, which eventually results in almost-hitting-the-left-curb or overturning situtations. haha.

the almost complete silence coming from my instructor didnt help much. he made me feel really uncomfortable in the car. i'd rather someone talk nonsense to me than total silence. he only started talking after i almost hit the curb (which was like 30 mins into the lesson) and the rest of the lesson he was silent, other than telling me to turn which direction. imagine my 1hr 40 mins with him..

the funniest thing was when he told me to turn out onto the main road on my own. i was quite surprised when he told me to do so on my own. cause i've never done so. it was always the instructor driving out. it wont be thaaaaat bad right.... NOT! the minute i turned out onto the road my car stalled cause i was about to go on the curb, no not hit the curb but ONTO the curb, and the instructor had slammed on the brake.

disastor!

sunday - karaoke with gina and her friends. fun and relaxing, found a new passion for singing HAHA

monday - popped by at music forest with shu and joyce to attend their free dance trial. the teacher was intimidating and seemed unfriendly at first. but when she started to continue teaching the dance steps (the class was term 2 of beginners so yea) she did teach us as well. she even spoke to us on the lesson after class. signing up for dance and music forest! hope it doesn't clash with singing classes.

tuesday - singing class with gina. she was late for half an hour so i had individual lesson. the teacher made me sing the song close to 4 times continuously while teaching me the different techniques like putting in emotions and when to have different emphasis on the words. how to open my mouth bigger, clearer pronunciation. head voice, chest voice and diaphragm. i think i would have died due to short of air if gina didn't come sooner. HAHA. i was nearly out of breath after singing the song 3 times! my mum is complaining that i've too much money to spend and she said i've never mentioned about attending vocal classes. well i think i did... say 4 yrs ago? hmph. and yes i sing songs in chinese when my chinese is so sucky.

wednesday - starting to ache and very tired. final theory practice at night

thursday - final theory evaluation. junior match

friday - driving lesson at night


well that was and is my week. it sounds quite packed but i like it cause i rather have things to do than hanging around (:

i had quite a boring week so i decided to do some baking to make myself happy.

when i started to mix the sugar into the butter, the electric hand mixer started spewing out smoke!! and omg it was so smelly that i also choked on the smell. so now that the electric one is spoilt and i can't possibly stop baking since i've already started, so i used the hand mixer.

by the end of the whole baking session i think i gained like 1 week worth of exercise for my arms. they ached like crazy the following day. plus the cupcakes didn't turn out as good as the one i did the last time. they were like sponge cakes, very empty and airy inside. didn't have much chocolate taste. the icing was too sweet and the lemon taste too strong. so yea. not nice. i blame it on the electric mixer. i must have over-mixed the batter manually that too much air went in and made the batter airy. HAHA.

so now i need to get a new electric mixer!

driving is the only exciting and worth looking forward in my life now. i think without driving my life would be so boring. anyways third lesson today, so i got into the car and my instructor said, "ok. so today is road driving."

i immediately went "HUH!? i thought it was circuit driving.... (worried face)" cause meng only started her road driving on the 4th lesson. he said it was ok if i want to stay in the circuit but i didnt want to. there were so many cars it'll be so damn difficult to manoeuvre around. so the whole joruney to cck, my heart was racing and i kept thinking of me crashing into other cars or into some lamp post. when i took over, i was really really very nervous. in fact, i was in a state of frenzy. i even turned on the wiper by accident! that's when the instructor started saying i was 'one bad driver'. he said it a few times before i finally figured what he was talking about.

have u watched the recent Gold 90FM commercial? i looked exactly like the lady in the commercial. turning on the wiper when there's no rain, snaking the car along the road, not looking at the road when i change gears and more. i just kept saying 'oh no....' whenever he said that but they say "only listen to the good stuff" so i am 'one ___ driver' HAHA. but after a while i got used to the road and the instructor said i was 'a good driver'. this time listen to everything. HAHA.

then it went back to 'one bad driver' after nearly crashing into a taxi, another learner car and a lorry nearly smashing into me. i never expected the taxi to turn into my road when a car was going straight across his path so i proceeded. but taxi drivers being gan zhiong spiders, turned into my lane at a damn high speed. my instructor grabbed my steering wheel and jammed brake. that's when the lorry that was following me too closely almost smashed into my car. another time was the learner car didn't turn when the road was clear so i proceeded, but this learner decided he was going to turn when i wanted to! and what's more, he overturned into my path and i almost crashed into him! speak about scary!

and now i understand how L plate drivers get nervous and bullied on the roads. there was a car who flashed his high beam lights at me when i didnt move off immediately after the traffic light turned green. another time, a taxi bypassed me at a high speed and cut in front of my lane suddenly which gave me a shock that i nearly slammed onto my brakes.

my instructor today is so funny. he cldn't stop talking the whole time. he asked why i'm learning manual and not auto driving adding that i am wasting money when i should go learn speed boating or canoeing instead since earth would be submerged in water after a few years. or maybe biking cause it's environmentally friendly and cheaper. and what would i do if i strike 4D. buy a house? a car? and i should look forward and think big cause when i become some CEO of a company i don't need to drive my own car. i can just go to bbdc and say i want a chauffeur and get driven around. he's a hilarious person i say. and my second instructor waving happily to me when i bumped into him after class. i wonder how my forth instructor would be like...

franchine chye ying lai is the funniest person ever. period.
she managed to set her duck for dinner, on fire. you should check out her blog. she was calm enough to take pictures of her duck on fire. HAHA.
after she settled down to have her dinner and we chatted on skype for a while, meng called me during her break.


and that was our conversation for close to 10 mins. cause the speaker phone idea didnt work. i had to listen to 2 people talk and was still able to answer them correctly. fran says i've good listening skills. i also say (:

i shld figure out how to turn on my webcam so i wont be watching fran munch on food especially when i start to crave for them and have none. this also mean, stock up snacks and find somewhere to store it besides the don't-know-if-gimongous-cockroach-is-still-inside drawer. HAHA.

oh second driving lesson today! and i'm getting good at it :D

* DFF : damn fucking funny. learnt it from fran. HAHA

having to wake up at 7 is no easy feat for either meng or myself.
we're suppose to be at bbdc at 8AM on saturday for our stupid final theory lesson. it's a must to complete both lessons before you're allowed to take the practical test. we figured might as well complete it sooner so we have one less thing to worry bout and since wkdays are the only time we're free.

the alarm went at 7 and i snoozed for 15 mins. meng msged me at 2am to give her a wake up call so i did. she sounded awake when i called so i dragged myself to the bathroom to wash up. i later msged her before changing out and she replied so ok, meng didn't go back to sleep. BUT when i left house she msged me at 7:47 and said "omg i just finally woke up! i think i want to miss the class.." HAHA. that girl. well in the end she did come and we sat there from 8-1130 listening to the instructors. the first class was interesting cause we learned a lot of driving skills but the second instructor was so corny and boring.

looks like bbdc is my second home now :(

we had to be at cck for qing ming jie at 9 today, so we had time in the morning instead of waking up in the afternoon on normal sundays. i was craving macs breakfast and my father obliged. so we drove to KAP and reached bout 11. racing to the counter, we saw breakfast still being served. so we ordered our food and when we went up to sit, no hash brown! i went to the counter to ask for it but they had changed to the lunch menu so it meant no hash brown but small fries instead. and that was our lunch.

when we got home we started cleaning the house cause the part time maid didn't come yesterday. i finally cleared my table since i had to clean it.. dad vacuumed and mop, mum ironed while bro and i cleaned the tables around the house. later i washed the toilet and ended up having a 'shower' inside. my clothes were wet from washing the walls! i don't know how my mum can keep half her body dry when she does it. haha.

as for dinner we had a good home cooked meal, laughing and discussing issues at the table.

simple sunday but a lovely one, espcially with such company (:

i finally attended my first driving lesson today.
driving's really damn fun!
was a bit nervous at the start cause moving the car and sitting in the car is a total different thing. the instructor was very nice. he kept laughing when i go HUH? or ARE U SERIOUS? haha. i was quite stressed bout driving around the circuits so he started asking me bout studying and other stuff..
the engine died on me at least 5 times throughout the whole lesson. i bet the cars behind me were like "wah so lousy!" and i didnt know the accelerator's so sensitive!! a slight tap and the car will go VROOOOOMMMM. well when we play daytona u just slam on the accelerator so yea. HAHA.
cant wait for my next lesson!
