Wisdom tooth!!

It sure is creating a hell for me, wisdom tooth!! My face is swollen now because of it, so bad that I had to visit JMC's dental surgeon to re-schedule LA OP lower left to GA OP upper and lower left, and at the earliest date possible.

Regardless, I will have to make full use of this MC to complete my assignment. It is a must since my schedule is packed for Aug and the assignment is due on 1st week of Sep.

*Fingers crossed*

1st 1/2 of Year 2014

Year 2014 has been great thus far with my 1st attempt in getting Class 3 driving licence, HDB flat selection and my class for psycho is starting this month. Also, not forgetting working in PB with my beloved more-than-just-colleagues people!!

Although the hole in my pocket is huge, and will still be huge for the next 6 years due to my psycho class, all the spending for the above are in for a good cause. Investments, as said.

And i think after all this, I will start my Reiki class. *happy*

YES!!!

I passes my tp test with 1st attempt, I'm so happy!!! At least, my 13 revision classes did not come to a naught. Hahaha!!

Thanks to papa and his friends for celebrating this event with me. It truly is my best birthday present for this year. It could also had become the worst present if I had failed.

Next up: we shall see what's next.. Hahaha!!

夜已深, 人已靜.

風兒吹起悲傷時, 不時想起過往事.

此時往事則不該, 不該出現在腦海.

畢竟一箭中紅心, 但也非只有一箭.

相似百箭穿心肺, 穿得再也無淚痕.

只能選擇不歸路, 雙對只能各自飛.

經過道路非一般, 不知是否行得出.

心裏傷痛千萬層, 並非短時能恢復.

面對人前裝沒事, 笑一笑掩蓋真情.

或許一生只有單, 原因並非說不清.

只是並非過來人, 不會了解傷多深.

也是希望多一次, 再次能與人成雙.

是否能踏出陰影, 如今仍然全不知.

只能對看著世間, 是否真能再相信? 

8th, 9th, 10th, 11th lesson

I've finally cleared Stage 1 on my 9th lesson being Stage 1.11 whereby the instructor reviewed past lessons taught and pointed out rooms for improvement.

Stage 2.01, 2.02  and 2.03 are also checked off the list with Mr Ng C L (2616) who was also my instructor for my 8th and 10th lesson, as well as today. I'm so looking forward to my next lesson, wondering who will my instructor be. I'm still having fun with my lessons.. hooray~

It's a brand new year, it's 2014! And yes, with a brand new start and ambitions!!

6th & 7th lesson

I had my 6th lesson with Mr Chan K K again last Friday and cleared stage 1.08, and I had my 7th lesson with Lam C C (6245) earlier.

Same comments that I should drive faster since i'm completing stage 1 soon. Today's lesson emphasized on turns and blind spot checks which really have to be burnt into my brain to be a habit. Anyway, he's damn damn good at pointing out what I was doing or not doing for the entire lesson, and i really mean everything. Good thing, in my opinion, really. ^_^ Can't wait for my next lesson!!

3rd, 4th & 5th Lesson

I had my 3rd lesson with Tan K K (5893) and cleared 1.04 & 1.05 last week.

This instructor is really something, in a good way of course. I'm more familiar with changing of gears now as quoted, but his comment for my braking was that I couldn't maintain the smooth braking. I was able to brake smoothly at times, but was too early or late at other times.

4th lesson was with Chan K K (2800) and no, his surname in Chinese is different from mine. Managed to clear 1.06 though i spent more time in the circuit before heading to the road to practice more on turnings. And somehow before my lesson, i had this sudden thought "maybe i should change to auto instead" and i told him about this. Thank goodness his words of encouragement were that i'm still new to driving so shouldn't give myself unnecessary pressure. It worked, somehow. And driving is still fun, at the very least.

Just finished another lesson with Mr Lum (6475) and barely cleared 1.07 due to braking before turning point (why I could never get it right?!?!?!). Shall ask the instructor for my next lesson to allow me to practice this, big time.

I'm very fortunate that all my instructors are so awesome. (^_^)

Good news. I am officially a divorcee!!! I'm so happy, hahah!! Time to organise celebration!!! Muacks~

Stage 1.03

Had my 2nd lesson earlier with 2930 Chua E H. He didn't talk as much but pinpointed on my mistakes straight to the point.

After few circuit rounds, we started on driving on the road till end of the lesson. I think he had to vomit blood several times with my 2x stalled car, few times of jerkings, few times of turnings at X-junction, and my ultimate death grip on the steering wheel. I didn't have this problem during my last lesson, I supposed it's probably due to over-nervousness today.

I WILL improve on my next lesson, and will never die under the clutch... Hahahaha!!

1st Driving Lesson

Yes, I've enrolled with BBDC since it's nearest to my residence, and have completed the 4 compulsory theory lessons and have also passed FTE (compulsory to pass before applying for PDL which is a requirement to book for practical lessons). Since my FTT is still in a month's time, I started my first practical lesson on Friday.

I didn't request for fixed group nor fixed instructor scheme and am now entrusted under G6019 by random, with 6387 Chua W H (Kelvin Chua if I didn't see his name on the staff pass wrongly) as my first instructor.

I was anxious yet excited before my lesson, since it's been 7 years since my 2nd lesson with a private instructor. I was never a disciplined person so I deemed that private instructor scheme wasn't the way out for me since I only pay on the day I have the lesson. But for BBDC, I have to deposit the amount before booking of lessons. And since there's no sponsorship, the pinch is the reality.

Back to the lesson on Friday, I stalled the car frequently when braking since I really couldn't get used to the braking sensitivity, and I forgot to floor the clutch pedal (note to self: 1/2 clutch is useless during braking.)

The instructor I had was good. At least, he's chatty. I think I would be more tensed if the instructor I had was the quiet type instead. He pointed out my mistake if I steered too much or too little, unlike the private instructor I had which steer the wheel instead. And when my car stalled, he asked what was my mistake which I replied I forgot to floor the clutch pedal. Though I felt bad about telling him to stop asking me questions as I couldn't register what he was asking at the same time I was shifting gear... Hahahaha!!

If my boss and the deities permit, I seriously don't mind having my future lessons under him.

MC... MC...

It's been so long since my last visit to the doc... and was given 2 days of MC... I'm so 1/2 dead but still alive, at the very least... Ahh... my stomach, my asshole... being tortured like hell...

Goodbye to braces!!

Hooray~ Braces are off, 1 item off from my list...hahaha!!! It's been FIVE YEARS, just cause I returned for review only once or twice a year... =P

It feels weird without braces, feels naked. And pronunciation is slightly off now since used to speak with braces, so i need to re-adjust pronunciation for certain letters and words again.

Collected my retainers yesterday, was quite surprised that it's not the wire retainers that i had in my mind, it's clear plastic! No wonder it's called invisible retainers. ^_^

It's been almost 8 months working in PB. Yes, i like my colleagues, i practically love them. ^_^ And my work and of course, there's someone. Well, we are not together at all... heck, i don't even know anything else other than his name and his scope of work. We used to work at the same floor, but since CS is expanding, water division shifted to 21st floor. This means there's almost 0% chance to see him when i'm in the office. I'm always comfortable around guys, but shyness kicks in when he's around... bummers. Ah well, i shall see how it goes... ^_^
