Patience
Friday, April 30, 2010
Many a time i wish had more of this virtue.Just yesterday, i was again woken up by my nephew's crying early in the morning around 6 plus. I was really pissed off because i couldn't really sleep well in camp and yet i have to endure these noises at home. And i screamed. Screamed like a 16 year old angry teenager, when in fact i should be the young adult already helping out the family. I really shouldn't compare myself with my brother... ... afterall, he is indeed more understanding towards other people. :(

Mark Owen - Makin' Out
I'll be the one who brings you coffee when you can't get up
I'll be the one who turns the light out when you go to sleep
I'll be the one who turns your stomach into something else and you say
Shut up, shut up, every time I say
I'll be the one who takes your coat off, one to take the blame
I'll be the one you call your lover, every now and then
You'll be the one who keeps me sober, one to keep me sane and you say
Shut up, shut up, every time I say it
And I'd cut my fingers to the bone
,
And I'd split my sides in for you
Tonight, we throw ourselves away
And we make it every time
When I thought I was ok
You said I was alright
As the night comes crashing down
We catch ourselves a line
Yeah we're only makin' out
If we make it out alright
I'll be the one who stands beside you in the photograph
I'll be the one that's in your water when you want me there
I'll be the one you're falling over every time you laugh and you say
Shut up, shut up, every time I say
I'll be the one who keeps you guessing, who swears a lot
I'll be the one that let your colour in the white wash
You'll be the one that knocks the man out I was beating up and you say
Shut up, shut up, every time I say it
And you cut my face, I told you so
I'd tear my eyes out for you
Tonight, we throw ourselves away
And we make it every time
When I thought I was ok
You said I was alright
As the night comes crashing down
We catch ourselves a line
Yeah we're only makin' out
If we make it out alright
And I'd cut my fingers to the bone,
And I'd split my sides in for you
Tonight, we throw ourselves away
And we make it every time
When I thought I was ok
You said I was alright
As the night comes crashing down
We catch ourselves a line
Yeah we're only makin' out
If we make it out all right

homework day
We were told by the lecturer to produce a photo using the design elements, 'lines'. Since i've passed my driving i decided to travel further and to places public transport is hard to get to. So in the morning, after fetching my uncle and auntie to their shop, wenwen and i drove to bukit timah atas area to the tracks and shoot.
The highlight of the day was defnitely the part we heard something zooming... and we thought it was the airplanes.... then continue to shoot.. then .... then..( i have decided to blog another entry on it since we almost died)

Then, after travelling for near to 2 hours, we reached the next destination. I dont have a GPS yet, that explains why we rode on woodlands road twice and BKE, KJE, CTE whatever EEESS many many rounds. But the cemetry is indeed beautiful. Been there as a kid but didnt appreciate it as much as now. I guess certain things comes with age. Then why did MOE even bother arranging excursions when all we cared were pokemon cards man... totally waste of resources.

Some days you just feel like the world has deserted you. Like everyone has something to pick on you for. No matter how optimistic you try to stay, you know that its just a state of denial you have to get out of. And you just feel like burrowing back to your hole and spend the rest of the day in it.Don't get so worked up~ Its just me

Above are the de-motivational posters done by one of the man in my company. LOL. Its abit of an insider joke but let me explain. First one is because there's a new specialist that looks like that (size wise) who is about to join our company. Second and third one is one of the newer specialist who is sort of the "best"soldier kind but it seems some of the men has grudges against him or something. Maybe they think he's too wayang. Wayang, FYI means act tough act busy when superiors are around ONLY. If you ask me, i don't really care. hahah cuz i'm leaving in September!! :) He also goes for night lessons for retaking of A levels. Hahahah but i guess the men thinks otherwise of it. WAHHAHA.Well, the last one, self explanatory. ahahaha. Hmmm maybe i should print them out and put in the toilet cubicles. hahah

Ok, i admit when it comes to certain things like driving, i dont have much talent. My family have been pushing me to get my license because to them, every man must know how to drive. During my poly days i was always so busy with my extra stuff and school work. Also, i dont see the need to drive because seriously, whats the point of learning how to drive when you don't even know the directions to go to town?
So there, i went to learn driving because its mandatory and damn i hate asking people to help fetch me around or troubling people. Thats not after i passed my Basic theory test (BTT) on the 3rd time; my Final theory test (FTT) on the 2nd attempt. Mind you, i had to go up to the head traffic officer to beg for a 2nd attempt within the next week because i was going to be shaved and sent to tekong.
Then during SISPEC days, i engaged MR LAU, the private instructor to teach me. I failed first time, then second time, and finally third time.
Mr Lau: I REALLY have nothing to teach you already.
Me: Stares at him.
Mr Lau: I also dunno why you keep failing
I won't say its entirely his fault that i kept failing but i must say that he didn't tell me when to stop when reversing, he didn't teach me to pull up the handbrake, park, and wait for the tester to say move off when parking. I didn't know i had to signal left or right at station 12, the slope, or at which point to turn left or right. Basically, everything learnt was by common sense, which apparently i didn't possess in terms of driving.
I'm not de-faming Mr Lau or anything because all my friends under his wing passed on first try. Its just, if you are like me who totally have no idea what driving is all about, JUST go to the school where everything is spoon fed.
I couldn't find my old test scores but its 48, 54, 40. If you want to buy lottery go ahead. LOL. I made every single mistake that was ever on the score card. Failure to check blind spots, strike, hit kerbs, mount kerbs, failure to let pedestrian cross road, failure to give way....etc... when i find it i will scan and post it. My cousin took my 3 test score sheets to photocopy as reference for her driving test because she say it can help her prevent those errors i made. :S Quite sad, but i felt like a guinea pig to test the system so the rest can learn.
After the 3rd failure, my self esteem was like ground zero. But of course i didn't give up. I knew i would pass someday, one way or another. There was this express driving course whereby they allow people like me to retake the test but this time through school instructors. Good thing was they only require you to take 8 lessons. Its around S$800++ but the waiting time is greatly reduced and heck they really drill you. I had my doubts at first because one of the school instructors was taking phone calls in the midst of the lesson cuz he's also a real estate agent..... :S I guess the economy is THAT bad.
Heres my passed test sheet. FINALLY! I kept smiling like a crazy IMH patient on my way home lar!! Machiam on drugs.
Tester: Nothing much wrong with your driving, except you drive too fast
Me: *Too happy to talk back
Tester: And just now traffic light you could have slowed down.
Me: *still in my own hallelujah mountains
Me: *wait a minute! Most of my demerit points comes from failure to accelerate or too slow in my 3rd test...... huh...
Now that i have regained my sanity, I accelerated on the last arrow of the traffic light because its going to be orange!( something i learnt from school instructor)
Oh yah, in case you are going to take the test anytime soon, i would suggest you go take your own passport photo first, best if the shop has photoshop to help you look better. You would also need S$50 in nets or cashcard to pay for your new license.
WARNING: DO NOT TAKE AT THE LAME SHOP BESIDE THE REGISTER OFFICE.
The man uses a compact camera with a styrofoam back drop, probably gotten from the fish market. Imagine harsh flash, lousy pixels and prints that does no justice to your face.
Victory Cam whore session. :)
4th time mind you!
*14 e-trials, 3 BTT, 2 FTT, 4 TP, 28 private lessons, 8 school lessons. I think i made it to their VIP list of cilents.

such is life
Friday, April 2, 2010
Just 2 weeks ago, one of my closest friend and i were going to meet up for tea. But it was canceled because her father was in hospital. And you know, people go to the hospital for all sorts of things urgent, non-urgent, no one would have expected things to end this way. He was a great father and husband as far as i know. In fact, we just met again during CNY in February. It was all too sudden.
Having seen all these in front of me made me realised how fragile life is. I wonder how am i going to be able to work in a hospital in future. I sort of seek a mild form of enlightenment from a friend who harvests kidneys in a hospital, questioning him about the thoughts that goes through his mind everyday and how he handles all these influx of emotions. "Such is life", he said. Simple as it might sound, but yeah, that's life and we have to face it.
I get scared sometimes at how fast we all grow up, at the speed our elder family members age, how illness gain the upper hand when we no longer have youth on our side. When you witness events like this, you sub-consciously know that someday, you too have to deal with that.
Gek teng said this after we left the funeral, " See, life goes on as per normal when everything is over". She added that she came to realise that the saddest part in life is all in the "what could have beens". What would have been if you had spent more time? What could have been if you hadn't held on to the worldly possessions that much? What if?
I come from a family background with strong Asian culture so we don't really practice hugging or exchange of expressions of gestures of love, saying i love you etc. I never understand what is with all these holding back when it comes to expressing our love to family members. I am guilty for not having the courage to do so. I just hope one day when it won't be too late when i finally have the balls to say it.
