心事

Hi there!

I just got home from my driving lesson. It has been become a routein going to BBDC for driving lessons on Saturdays and sometimes Sundays. Surprisingly, I do look forward to the lessons. But such a routein to BBDC better discontinue after 30 Jul, which is my test date.

Today's driving had its bit of unordinary. Today was the 1st time that I nearly took the initiatve to horn somebody. I even made some not-so-nice remarks! As for the instructor's reaction, he was either simply patient, or just oblivious to what was going on. I was driving roughly at 60km/h on a 70km/h road. I started to brake when approaching a cross-junction. The traffic light was green, which means technically I had the right of way. But as I was approaching the last arrow (nearing the stopline), a car from the opposite direction suddenly moved out of its 'waiting-pocket' and made a right turn. Sickening! My car could have just ramped into that idiot. Anyway, I depressed my brake even more, just for tat car to drive by. I continued my path straight ahead, and before I knew it, another car slipped out of the filter lane on my left!!! Wah biang! This time round was a L-plate manual car! I wished I had given both the buggers a big loud horn!! =(

Ok, this is perhaps the ironic side. I shall confess that I took my mind off the road several times today. And I did certain moves that my instructor deemed as 'failed to ensure safety'. I made a couple of wide and fast turns, and also tailgated a SMRT bus and a lorry. I was also 'caught' stoning into the blank space when the light has turned from red to green. Sighss... maybe these are considered nothing or even normal to qualified drivers. But I am still a newbie at this skill. I need to 'go by the books', at least to pass my test. Sighs... My focus was taken off the road obviouisly. Well, at least I now know what could happen if I am going to carry my troubles into car and allow them to control the wheels.

I am feeling very vexed and upset, honestly. But I reckon I am still able to keep a straight face. But if anybody bothers to look carefully into my eyes, they might probably sense something is amidst. Well, I am not lamenting that nobody cares. I am just not very good at expressing my 心事 verbally. As a result, there is a tendency of being non-verbal. But I havent gone to the extent of punching ppl or throwing chairs =S I wonder if anyone share the such sentiments too?

Alrightey, shall pen off here. Think I will go and spend time with my bed :) Hopefully a ride to dreamland provides some sort of comfort from the realities of today.

An interview with the birthday girl ... Read on!


What is Your wish list?
Jac: To be a happy Jac everyday! Simple but heartfelt...

Nah... come on, your wish list sounds cliche. What will be a materialistic wish list?
Jac: (not in any order) another crumpler bag, a macbook, new nokia mobile phone, new digital cam, more pretty heels, spa/salon vouchers, more peach and mashmallows moisturisers, more earrings, new handbags... errr... enuff? I will add on to this when more items come to mind =P

What will be your wish list to your boss?
Jac: Eh Boss... welfare welfare welfare! Let me go on 'Unrecorded' birthday leave pleeeaassseee!

What flavour of bday cake will make you drrrroooool?
Jac: The good 'o choc! Well, all these will do too - Cheese! Apple Cinnamon! Green Tea!

What excites you during bdays?
Jac: Hmm... how about cake smashing?!?!?!

Given a chance to share about one very memorable bday, what will it be?
Jac: Doll! My very FIRST bday present was a very adorable cotton doll clad in a pink strawberry dress. Papa bought it for me as soon as I was born in KKH! I still have this doll with me up till today! =)


Do you have any questions for Jac?

Being Jac

Harlow! :)

I was doing some blog surfing yesterday and came to a conclusion that my blog looks plain and boring as compared to the tons out there!! :P Haha... but then again, I am still not quite motivated to hype it up either. Would anybody like to help me with it? Kekeke...

Anyway, I didn't have a pleasant Monday. Perhaps I should go beyond the cliche excuse of 'Monday Blues', and seek realisation on what had caused the unpleasantness. Sighs... am lousy at articulating my thoughts at this moment :(

Haha, maybe I should share some recent photos and bring back a snapshot of warm and happy memories :)
