This is going to be a long post...as usual!

I am at home now, squeezing out the little energy that I have to come online to try to change my auto driving lesson on mon. I don't want to go in the afternoon! So, trying to get morning so that I can meet Ziwei and SJ! Anyways, driving aside first.

Btw, I am on MC that's why aint at work. Down with fever. But I think it's just fatigue with the lack of sleep. Thanks to Mum, I am feeling much better! She is the one who is tired out after all that running upstairs and downstairs yesterday! My Dad is down with gastric flu and fever and my bro was down with indigestion. So, the whole night, she was shuffling from my room and her room with the ice pack trying to bring our fever down. I doubt we actually spread it to each other since we were suffering from different causes of illness. But it so happened that we are sick at the same time. Thanks Mummy!!

I had felt very tired yesterday morning but still went to work. On the way, Aifung called me to tell me that she is not feeling well and is taking MC! Woah! I almost took MC! If I did, Wendy wouldn't have any assistants around! I had fun at work nonetheless, just that I was feeling really tired and feverish. Workload wasn't too heavy and I spent half the time chatting with Wendy and the other sales people! So, time passed quite fast...

I took the train with Irene...but when I got to Paya Lebar, I felt like I was going to faint. I was hoping that at the end of the day, my dad would be able to pick me up. However, he called in the afternoon to say that he is going to the doctor's and going home to rest!! I had to make my own way to my grandparent's house...Drank a bit of soup and then sat down to tuition my cousin for a while. But, really couldn't take it. My aunt and uncle sent me home with bro, who didn't go tuition coz he felt sick... I slept from 830pm all the way till 830 this morning when I woke up to call office and Aifung.

Actually, I would rather be at work than being at home. There are so many things to do at work and time passes real quickly! There are fun people at office! And there's money! hehe! I wonder what I am going to do after I quit...
But being at home is good too! I can be online, watch my shows, listen to music, chat online! Mum, Dad and I were watching i DVD disc of Spring Waltz (K-dram) just now! It's a nice and refined show about a pianist and his childhood girlfriend. Very touching! Only at disc 2, but I think it's a show worth watching! It's by the same director of Winter Sonata, as what my mum told me...

Wei and Shaz! You should watch! There's the guy who acted in Samsoon as the doctor! But it's not on youtube...

Some spoilers here!

With the lead actor - Seo Do Young 서도영 =)

OH OH!! I just found another cool K-drama to watch!

It's LOVE LETTER!

I read the book in Chinese just at the beginning of this year and it's really touching! A bit draggy but at least there's a story line.

Btw, Mum was telling me that Korean guys are the only ones (so far) who would have hair all over their head and forehead but yet look cool! And they cry like it's alright and run like no one's business!! Korean guys >.<

Oh wells, Mon was Angeline's last day at Ricoh and we went out in the night to Bugis! I got my mother's day present and my earrings~ And we finally took Neoprint! I would post it up when I get the pictures in order. Yesterday though work was fun but it felt dfferent without her and Aifung. Missing her lots! But we would still meet up for our favourite Subway and cookies! And Bugis shopping! =)

My laptop is heating up...Or is it me?

Met Ziwei and SJ at CDC on Mon! They are my new found kakis at CDC! And if I saw correctly, I think I saw ili after my lesson! But I was still in the car so couldn't call out to her!

Anyways, i got CI, as usual...And our relationship is becoming really kinda love-hate! I hate him to the core for his super big ego but yet like the way he teaches. If you read Sarah's blog about being rebellious, I think I am one of those students. I am becoming quite rebellious when CI teaches now. But that's coz it's really very stressful! I cleared all the sections already, just practicing to do my evaluation.

Just when the lesson started, CI cleared me for my // parking.

CI: Aiyo...This one can clear already le lah. Taught you for so long already...
Me: Yah...About 1 month, 4 lessons. =)

Then we went to do // parking. Oh no...I didn't pass the 1st try. Forgot how to do and forgot how many rounds to turn! So much for clearing me. And he didn't want to help me! Oh well, I cannot be too reliant on him!

And then we saw this tester standing outside of the car watching a testee do his // parking! Super stressful! It's a good chance to have lesson on days with test cars because you are able to see what the testers would do to the testees and can prepare. And so, CI followed suit and made me do // parking on my own!! He stood outside, timing me as I did my // parking. I got in quite ok. Then I tried to straighten my car. Oh no! The more I tried to straighten, the worse it got. I was crying out for help! But CI refused to help! He kept stressing...5 mins is going to be up! And you are not done!! Hurry up!

I hated that...got very pissed. And he got into the car saying, "Actually you did very well! But you don't know how to straighten the car! And made it all worse!"

Yah...I know...

I was already "throwing tentrums" and told him I don't want want to learn and don't want to play already! But he told me cannot. He was going to make me love it until I dream about it. urgh...

It was too much/many of a lot of things...

Going forward at exits TOO MUCH.
Turning TOO MANY rounds.
TOO MANY mistakes.
TOO MANY complaints.
TOO MANY cars (especially test cars).
TOO MUCH stress!

I just had too much to handle...

I really wonder how I am going to take my test.

CI scolded me a lot that day because I was making TOO MANY mistakes. And he was quite angry. But when we were queuing up to do vertical parking, he took my book, looked at me and started smiling...

CI: Xiao Jie...Why do you look so stressed? Cheer up!
Me: (looked at him and pouted)
CI: Eh...Bu yao zhe yang leh (don't like that la)..you make me feel so bad. Bu yao qi wo lah! (Don't be angry with me.)
Me: Mei you lah (Not lah)...Wo bu qi ni, zhi qi wo zi ji(i am not angry with you, just angry with myself)...
CI: Sha gua! (Silly girl) No need to be angry with yourself lah...Practice makes perfect! *Smiles*
Me: Ni xiao shen me? (Why are you smiling?)
CI: Don't need to be stressed because we still have a lot of time! July!! Still got time! Bu yao qi le lah (don't be angry)...Sorry ok!

I didn't reply him because I started to do my vertical parking...

Then when I was driving at one area, looking for a lot of do // parking...

CI: Keep left (whispers)
Me: (NO reaction).
CI: Eh! I said keep left! (Whispers)
Me: Did you say something?
CI: keep left (A bit louder)
Me: Orh..You said so softly. I couldn't hear.
CI: OK! KEEP LEFT! CAN HEAR? (Shouting)
Me: Yah yah! Can hear! Don't need to shout!
CI: Wah! Xiao Jie! Ni hen nan ci hou de! (you are so hard to please!)
Me: Aiyo...you talked so softly i the beginning how to hear?!
CI: orh...ok ok...my fault..my fault...sorry lah!!

And he started laughing...well, anything goes as long as he is happy...

The last quarter of the lesson was fun! Or rather he wasn't angry but very chatty. He was super hyper. He kept telling me to move faster, beat the light, chiong before the on coming vehicle could pass me! He was making me do the impossibles!! And when I wanted to do all that, he had to stress me till I stalled the car. And i couldn't. Again, I scolded him and he said sorry...The world is changing. Teachers have to give in to the students! :) Still, he made me do all that.

I was at gear 1 the whole lesson! I think I only changed up the gear 2 a few times! And he didn't let me go out of the circuit as a punishment for not doing my circuit properly. I passed slope, s and crank courses. But failed parkings. So, he didn't let me go out!! Argh! I miss driving outside, going at 40km/h. And missing Temasek Poly that area where I go up to 50+km/h!!

Ok... Much as I am hating him for forcing me and stressing me out, I am still going to endure it. I want my license! 61 more days!!

I have stopped watching Tokyo Juliet. Going to start on Love Letter!! But going to sleep for a while first...I feel my head getting heavy and hot!
