my first half of term break.

took a cruise to nowhere on superstar virgo from 15-17. other than the food, the pool and the gambling, the cruise pretty much sucked. but of course i kept myself entertained the entire time at the casino ahas. but i must say, the food was fantastic and the gambling was er, educational.

so mon & tues was wet, mad, crazy shopping session with the bestie.
it rained non stop from monday till tuesday but the two of us still braved the rain to go shopping.
from orchard to somerset to arab street to haig street to bugis street to suntec city, in the rain.
its amazing how we didn't fall sick.

wednesday was a failed attempt at tanning.
you'd think that after raining for more than 24 hours, there would be no clouds and the sun would be shining brightly.
but no, the sun was being a total bitch.
so kel thinks i conned her into coming over to my place to tan in the shadows.
afterwards, i met daryl to watch the holiday - very fitting show for the whole christmas setting.
then met kok after the show to do more shopping.

thursday - A's eighteenth birthday, finally.
went to brewerkz for dinner and tried the many different kinds of beer.
then it was off to MOS for some mad clubbing and an encounter with some freak at studio 54.
stayed over at kel's.

friday, with barely 3 hours of sleep, i had to drag my tired ass and worn out feet down to canberra to accompany pet for her school orientation and to get her school books and uniform.
accompanied dumb dumb after that to ssdc. then came home, slept the entire day away.

saturday. all the mad shopping and clubbing, finally took a toll on me and i had major tummy ache so i spent the entire day at home like some sad girl.

sunday - uncle renie's christmas dinner then midnight mass at novena church which only ended at 2 and supper at newton!

christmas was at my grandma's then grandaunt joyce's where kel was so amused by the relatives and our singing session.

ok, end of very boring and detailed post. i obviously have too much time to waste.

so not looking forward to school cos of the shitload of reports and tests.

break down session.

oh yes, before the test, i told uncle i couldn't do it.

i screwed up really badly during my warmup session before the test. I couldn't do my S course properly, i actually MOUNT the damn kerb. I couldnt do reverse parking correctly cos i couldnt tell the difference between straight and slanted.

called yingrong and started crying cos i really didnt wanna take the test.

but oh well, went for it anyway and i was right - i failed.

ha i suck at checking my blind spot so much that i nearly got into an accident when doing parallel parking. ha my super nice tester had to warn me and like after the test
he said: rmb just now your parking nearly hit the other car?
me: hahas. oops. ya. hahas
he: if i pull the handbrake, its immediate failure.
me: oh?! then did u?!
he: abit only. *smile

ha so nice right! i love love love my tester la.
at the end of the test, he even apologised can?!

as much as i enjoyed testing you, i'm sorry i have to fail you.

second tp.

I COULD HAVE PASSED!
Its such a waste. I had the best tester in the world today and i screwed up, all because i couldn't see the marking clearly over all the rain when doing my directional change and i striked the kerb!

& i so foolishly thought that strike kerb means immediate failure but NO, its just 10 demerit points. damn it la, i shouldn't have requested to redo my directional change. cos my tester was like are you sure u wanna redo? i shd have just continued with my parking and then i wouldn't need to do additional reverse movement which resulted in an immediate failure.

so sad la! i did everything else correctly except i suck at checking my blind spots. argh. and the best thing about the tester is that he doesnt mark u while you're driving but only after the test then he starts grading you. WHICH ALSO MEANS IF U DIDNT DO THAT WELL, HE WOULD HAVE JUST PASSED YOU.

so wasted!

argh, im so pissed.

darren: stef, you got alot of money to fail tp hor?
kok: when's your next test? can join me in march already.

maybe it's the only way that we can finally stand on our own, you know?
to hurt each other so much that we have no choice but to let go.
maybe otherwise we never would.
