UnluCky 26 (13 x 2)
Okay and hi peopleI am goin to continue my second part of the "Unlucky 13". Since i am so free now, having my lunch break. But hahaha, definitely, i was able not finish writing by this afternoon de. 26th April 2006 (13 x 2). Whicj was erm... 2 days ago? Ya today is the 28th, friday. Let me side track a bit. Hooray Hooray. Weekend is here after a long 5 days week in a boring office. Time seems to be crawling like a snail. *Anything slower?* LONG WEEKEND for me again cause coming monday is Labour Day. I am a labour, so i got to get that day off. Wahahahahaha...Oh ya and so so so sweet of su su to buy me bread and liang teh. Because i was meeting su su yesterday night at JE sport complex to sign up for the kickboxing lesson. Both of us work full time office hours temporarily cause we are waiting to get into uni. We found ourselves growing fatter and fatter each day, by just sitting down and move our hands. Oh! (No no, it's our *fingers* only). We decided to live our lives to the fullest, life long learning ma, we are going to keep fit and learn kickboxing. My work ends at 6pm, when i reached JE, it's already 7.35pm. I am using bus concession. (Obvious?) I took buses there. So thoughful and kind of su su to know that i have not eaten and after the sign up thingy, it will already be 8pm. I was not able to eat after that time. (It was a timing when i restrict myself from taking solid food, only drinks is allowed). Thanks su su. Sweet sweet honey girl. Hahah... *Dun blush k? dun act innocent* Hahaah...Back to the 26th, it was a wednesday. Can you imagine??? Mid of a week, already drained out on monday and tueday. Wednesday is like bu san bu si. Nothing to look forward to. Somemore, it was not like thursday looking forward to friday. Hai. "( I happened to see my four years *younger* brother online too. He told me that i received a letter from NTU. That was what i had being waiting for. A reply. A reply from the uni. Although NUS already offered me a place in their business school.So rude of my sis to open up my letter when she scolded me for opening hers years ago. Myself and my bro had phobia to open up her letters.
NTU REJECTED ME!!!NTU DONT WANT ME!!!Dou shi te???WHY? WHY? WHY?Maybe they already knew NUS wants me. Or maybe because NTU is really too hot! *Sssskkkk* You know many people including myself, have the idea that "NUS sure cant get in", "NTU will have more chances". Thus resulting in applying for only one uni, which is NTU. (Not forgetting that each application is charged $10 and all the troubles)I GANNA REJECTED BY NTU!!!
I GANNA REJECTED BY NTU!!!I GANNA REJECTED BY NTU!!!Boo-hoo"(That is the bad news or bad incident for the 26th April. Hahahah, i know it's not really a big deal, not really that sort of unlucky. But come to think of it, but days 13th and 26th is mutiple of 13 mah. And why do i have to receive the letter on the 26th? Heard from su su and jia jia that their friends already got the rejection letters from the uni a few days ago le.My friends said that i over-reacted. Cause i too concerned on whether NTU wants me or not. Jia Jun: If both NUS and NTU offer you a place in their uni, which will you choose?Me: NUS of course!Jia Jun: Then no diff rite? Becos of face ar?Me: Hahaa. How will it sound if i go ard tellin ppl i ganna rejected by NTU?Not nice right? "You are rejected by NTU. Just imagine. Even NTU dont want you."Hai"(Hahaa. I am aware that there are many people out there are going to bash me up. *Sorry* Trust me and my friends, no news yet is good news. That means uni may be keeping you on their waiting list. You still stand a chance. Be hopeful k? ") You are not like me ganna rejected liao. Not even a chance.Good Luck to all of you.Especially to su su, jia jia and boon boon.")All the best.
UnlUcKy 13
Speakin about the no. 13. I am not a superstitious person. I never belief that 13 is a unlucky number. However, just recently, 2 unlucky events happened on the 13th April 2006 and on the 26th (13 x 2).
Lets talk about the earlier event, 13th April 2006.
Months ago, i got my PDL, provisional driving license. And immediately on that day, think it' s the 27th or 28th of oct 2005, i went to book the driving test date. i am not kiasu ok, it that the waiting time for the test is like half a year lor.
There are a few dates and timing available, 10th, 11th, 12th and so on. But, the timing left for the earliest date is during the peak hour. Who in the right mind would want to have their test suring the peak hours? Unless really desparate. So i skipped the 10th and 11th.
My instructor wanted to book the 12th at 145pm, if i didnt remember wrongly. Yet i was worried about secondary sch kids. There should be quite a number of kids crossing the road and dashing across. Hence i suggested 245pm on the 13th.
i wanted to prove to everyone that 13 is not a unlucky number and i would pass my driving test the first time. I didnt want to break my record. I passed my basic and advance theory the first time. Hoping to have a perfect record. Things didnt happen the way i wanted it to be.
Damn.
I was very nervous days before the actual date arrives. However, when it is getting closer to the 13th, i was like already given up hope. Taking the test lightly. It is actually very easy to drive what! It is only the road situation that is difficult. I need to react to the different situation. Thus just hope that "there is no car, there is no car".
ahahahahhaHAHAAHHhha...
In the morning, i went for the last round of pratice. Not 100% confident. but driving is really easy. Bad weather. It started to drizzle. Suay!!! Not easy to drive in wet weather. Cause blur vision, floor slippery, cant see the parking poles and etc.
In the afternoon, i was slightly gan cheong. The waiting time is always the scariest and the hardiest to pass. My instructor told me about the "death spot" and giving me some last minute pointers. I walked up to the second floor. Waiting to be called into the room and draw lot on the route i was going to take. Exactly at 245pm, 9 people went into the room together. All of us seemed nervous.
Oh ya, there was a girl who dressed very very casually. Pink singlet, flower shorts, SLIPPER???, (how can wear slipper for driving???), so much like going for chalet or Sentosa. No respect for the traffic police, TP. Hai"( 60% fail le)
Back to drawing lot. My name was the first being picked. I got route 10. I was rather happy. Because quan quan did mention that route 10 is the damn easiest route. Haha, luck is on my side, YEAH!!! We were told to look at the map of our test route. I looked at the map and try visualising the route in my brain. Pictures are always better to remember.
After the lot, we waited to be called by our tester. One after one were being called. I was like the 4th or 5th bah. My tester is a Indian man. He looked very friendly and kind. A good man. Ha. Luck is really really on my side. Goddess of victory is with me. HAHA!!!
I greated the tester, trying to be nice and give him good impression. Ya ya, i wore skirt. People keep saying that girls wear skirt will sure pass de. So i rather belief, ning ke xing qi you, bu ke xing qi wu. I even put on make-up for the driving test. U know lah, i am ugly. Need to look nice mah, good impression.
i followed him to the car, started to do safety checks before moving off. ( Safety is a important criteria in the test) Your skill may not be as good, but you must be a safe driver. I was rally careful, keep moving my head, check left, right, blind spot and drive slowly.
Everything went very smoothly in the circuit, i managed to clear every station without knocking down the poles, ( hahah, nick hor) not mild curb and etc.
I proceeded to the road. Fortunate me, there was almost NO CAR, although small drizzle. That was no big deal. Wow minutes after, i saw an accident in front of me. Is it a bad omen??? I saw a "L" plate bike slided in front of my road. I panicked. Gasped. The tester ask me to proceed and thus i have to change to a outer lane. Change of lane, that mean i would have to do all the safety checks and would result in a chance of getting demerit points. I think i did okay and the rest of the journey went on well although the tester did a last minute order for me to do a left turn.
Luckily i remembered the map of the test route, i know that i was supposed to turn, but why didnt he say anything yet?? Why??? I drive very slowly waitning for instruction. Finally he said it, immediately i did the checks and turned. Hew... Smooth. I am going back soon. Hooray!!! I am going to pass.
Finally, i reached Bukit Batok driving centre. I did a left turn into the circuit, up the slope, moving straight. And the drastic inccident HAPPENED!!! i was a private learner. I only wnet into the circuit for 4 times. Either very early in the morning or late in the night. Heheeh. Cause the ticket to use the circuit is the cheapest.
All i need to do is just one more left turn and stop. License will be mine!!! During my practice, i always drive out of the correct lane when making the turn. Hence i was very very careful with the lane i was in. I kept lookin to my left, making sure i am in the correct lane to prevent any demerit points. I totally forgot about the cars coming from the right. I did not stop in front of the give way line to allow the cars with the right of way to proceed first. After i checked my lane, i was to far out of the give way line. There was a motobike stopped to let me proceed.
QING TIAN PI LI!!!!!!!!
How can this be happening???
How is this possible???
WHY??? WHY??? WHY???
Shit.....
Tester: Why like that?
Me: *silent and praying* *fingers crossed*
THAT WAS A IMMEDIATE FAILURE!!!
Why like that??? Everything went so smoothly. Can you imagine??? Can you??? Just a turn and move my car a bit more, license is mine. You feel the pain??? Feel the disappointment???
WAH!!!
I went back to the room for debriefing. Still hoping that he may say otherwise. NO, he didnt!!! He gave me a fail. I was so sad. Argued a little politely. The tester still looked nice and friendly.
What can i do? I didnt want ot argue further. That's my luck. I wasnt familar with the driving into the circuit. When i drive in, there always isnt any car. No worries about stopping there. Oh ya, before the driving test my instructor did mention that i need to be careful with that spot. I regreted for putting it out of my mind.
SHIT MYSELF.
Both my instructor and the tester are so nice people, but i didnt grab hold of the chance. Think i was the last person to go back for debriefing cause people coming for the next timing is already coming into the room.
Tester said i should be able to pass the second time and i believe i will. I thanked him and left. My instructor waited outside. I felt so sad to disappoint my instructor. Feel so sorry for letting him down.
*Sorry Instructor*
We went to book my second test date. It's on the 7th of July 2006. Yeah!!! Lucky 7. Sure pass liao. Not "death" 4 for april, and unlucky 13. Two lucky 7 leh. Pass liao. ahahhaaa
Think i am going to break for 2 month before attending my next driving lessons.
In the night time, i was on my way to cameroon highland with my fav. My ah ma. Thought i was able to enjoy myself with a license when travelling to malaysia. As a reward. But it happened to be a vacation to console myself.
Sadded."(
That all for the day. Quite late le.
Some other day i will continue my later part of the unlucky 13 on the 26th April 2006.
Begining of my Real Blogging life
Hey hey, after so many months since the first entry, i am finally goin to blog. All thanks to my this office job in shenton way.
HaHa.
I am currently waiting to reply to a uni starting 2nd of may. And also maybe my uni life will start on the 7th of August. Thus i have lots of time from now till August. (Let me count, 1.2.3.4). I have 4 months before i start to study again.
Wow, one of my colleague, my mummy, just finished his last paper today. That means, he has 3 months break before his next semester. So shiok ar uni life. Long Vacation. Ya lar, i know, when it is not on vacation, they will stress like hell. Projects, projects and projects. Tests, quiz, meeting all the deadlines and studying lots of difficult theory stuff. Poor thing. Poor me soon!!!
But come to think of schooling and working, i prefer schoolin much much much more than working. I am left with 3 years or more of study and i will be working for the rest of my life. Crazy right??? Just imagine not school holiday, cannot "pon" work, really whole full 9 hours in your office doing the borring stuff.
Dont you agree with me??? Young Kids still studying, thnk further, dont be so short-sighted. *and by the way, i am only 19, going 20 this year, so not really that old* DONT CALL ME AUNTY. I am just a more far-sighted than those of relative same age people. Because of my personal experiences lah. Everyone is different. You all wil know me more next time. Cant explain everthing now.
Cos i working in a offfice as a temporary assistant.
Oh ya, side tracked for quite a bit. Back to all thanks to my boring work. I had very eye-straining job. Keep using the computer, data entries, seeing the small wordings. I will be blind soon.
Usually, i was able to find time surfing internet. I think i had lots of time. My friend said i very slack, *so good*. I wasn't a computer, or internet person. I hated the computer. I dislike oning and offing the computer. Dont you think that the waiting time for the computer to start up or shut down is very the long??? I got no patience for that. So, i seldom touch the computer unless for projects. Maybe you can call me a computer idiot.
I know nothing about forums, sites to download stuffs and etc. *Maybe u can give me some interesting sites to go to?* Heheh!
I never imagine one day i will blog. Like just months ago, i thought i will never blog for the rest of my life. Things always changing, nothing will be the same forever.
I was too bored during work, hence after checking my mail and even sign in to MSN, i was bored. My friend Susu intro me to read xiaxue's blog. She said it is very intersting. Hence, i went into her site for the first time of my life just 1 or 2 weeks ago (know i am lagging far behind people, damn far).
Xiaxue's blog is indeed very interesting. www.xiaxue.blogspot.com. That's the link to her blog. I know many of you may have already visited her blog ages ago and dont need my link.
HHAHHhHAh.... Self entertaining..... HHAHHHAha
I was just hoping that there will be someone mah.
I think she was very daring with her word and so good, so many sponsor leh. However, sometimes i think she is a bit too harsh le. Anyway, interesting blog to read. She said she is losing her ability to blog and i agreed. It is getting less interesting. A bit bored.
Than my another colleague quan quan told me about gays' blog. He said it is very nice to read but, disgusting. Because i think the words they used slighty over. Rou ma!
I find it rather enjoyable reading their blog. Sometimes a bit sian on their entries and a bit disgusted. But there is something i need to confess. I really admire their courage. They dare to announce it that thay are gays. If i were them i will 100% keep quiet. (Haha contradict myself, nothing is for sure de) I dunt even dare to confess to the one i like. Or maybe i keep changing the person i like. Oh ya i like only shuai ge handsome guys although i am really ugly. REally i AM UGLY. Thus think there is like no hope for me de lah.
In the gays' blog, they requested for people to link to their site, and here i am, giving you guys the website.
TaDa
