yo bloggie! How hav u been these days? I've been working recently, well, since Feb 2012. Working as a Guest Service Officer @ Tanglin Club Spa Botanica! Woots! However, i've been thinking whether it's more appropriate for me to work at a law firm as a legal secretary to gain insight into the career i wish to venture into in the near future. However, law firms do not tend to hire students on a part-time basis for the job of a legal secretary. :/
I'll see how things go. Life has been fine these days, no drama and stuff. Probably fussy supervisors who scold over little things cause they have no one to vent to. or that they are just perfectionists. But i've been told they are like this, have a certain 'attitude problem' Well, do no evil, say no evil, be no evil. Wah haha.
Applied to NUS alrdy, wonder how my application went... Shall check whether the status has been updated later. I really sincerely hope that i can enter NUS. Not much prospects if i continue studying at a private college.
If not, i might consider going overseas to study. Well, that is, find a job first, save lotsa money, then go overseas to study. Life's slightly tougher when u're not from a very well-to-do family who can afford to send u overseas as and when u like to. Really envious of those people.
Anyways, having slightly stuck-in-the-mud parents doesn't help either. They don't trust me enough/ are too concerned to send me overseas alone to study. SIGH.
Well, shall go watch some tv shows, I'm gonna work on Mon-Thurs & Sat next wk! #Fierce.
in the mood to BLOG once more!
just had my Practical Driving Test, failed by a whee bit. :(
well not so sad cause my circuit was quite was done, failed because of my safety checks.
So my car dream hav to be pushed back a lil' further...
Now i'll go to details!
So several weeks or months ago (lol. i cant rmbr), i dreamt of myself driving a Red Ferrari, on a highway (seemingly), it looked like i was driving on a bridge, something like the one at the Merlion park there, that kinda bridgey roads. I was speeding and screaming WHEE, and there was this guy in the passenger seat, having both his hands up in the air screaming WOOHOO! it was a really fun dream. Too bad cant see the passenger's face. I could hear him saying 'Go faster, faster!'. It was such a thrill & i really had fun in my dream.
So.
Today.
I muz first say that there seems to be some problems with my instructor's car. It's really jerky in first gear THOUGH i pressed the clutch down quite low.... Same went with my friend with had her exam this morning, she also failed, but very badly...
So i'll go on abt bit by bit details of my sad failure.--> Examiner say i can drive, just failed with my safety checks, WTH?
So....these are the mistakes i've made during my PDT.
-Jerky car. twice.
-wide turning. once.
-insufficient acceleration (wonder what this is?) twice.
-delay in moving off. twice.
-fail to confirm safety. twice.
-turn steering whilst vehicle is stationary. once.
-fail to check blind spot. once.
-fail to look out for traffic. once.
-fail to check mirror before moving off. once.
-fail to check mirror before changing lane. twice.
-give wrong signal at circuit. once.
-fail to confirm safety for vertical parking. once.
i swear i checked blind spots v often. but i admit i forgot abt the front mirror.
sigh. bad luck.
all minor issues, and yet i hav to retake the PDT and get a new PDL, and rebook a test date.
damn waste money, damn suai.
the examiner was quite nice but strict.
if he was a lil' bit more lenient all those minor issues could be worked on and i could have passed.
WOOTS. Novak Djokovic won Aussie Open 2012! (Again!) Though poor Nadal had to lose in order for Djoker to win, he deserved the win! the match lasted 5h33min (ard there). awesome endurance power, both of them. in awe of their stamina, physique, mental strength, wit. (yeah all these are required to play tennis at top level) haha. talking abt tennis. i only know how to serve. -.-" i cant return/ return well cause i dont have agility, cant/ cant be bothered to run after the ball, or if i do run up to the ball, i would be in the wrong position to hit the ball & will miss it. -.-"
how embarrassing...
so. i'm starting work on 1st Feb 2012! woots. which is 2 days later, on wednesday. hope it goes well. having training for the first 2 days i was told. doing job of a receptionist (was interested as mum is currently working as a receptionist) at a atas place (atas= high class place).
as of where, it shall be a secret. (not like anyone reads this i suppose). it's part time, and 1st Feb is also the date to apply for transfer of uni. NUS FTW. SIM FTSW. :D
Enjoy the video below of Rafa & Djoker giving their all to tennis! <3
And meanwhile, treasure your loved ones! Shall attach my song of the day! Pink's 'Most Girls'--> so relatable, i also want to find a man who knows real love.
@ ATP Aussie Open Grand Slam!
Djoker doing SO WELL. Amazing. Made Nicolas Mahut look like he ain't good at tennis. -.-"
Poor Mahut.
Anyways, got a feeling that Djokovic wud win this Aussie Open! :D
Despite many Fedex fans wanting Federer to win. HAHA.
Check out this video of Djokovic doing very very well.
Well done! *claps*
Love that black AX Jacket. But not worth $460... -.-"
I would rather get a Black H&M Trench Coat (more versatile) at $89.9.
The pictures of the shoes are that of Aldo Rise collaborations, would love to get them when they're out in March! xD
And that hat I shld have worn to sentosa.
No place to store it though.
If I wear I wud hav to wear it throughout my journey and it'd be weird to wear such a hat in the train, no? :/
And that is a blue squirrel below. Cute and wet. :/ awaiting to be washed & dried.
And pictures of a cute guy is that of 2PM's Nickhun! :D
And pretty Dolce&Gabbana dresses! :D
And the weird image u see below has a hidden message I wanna send.
Decipher it! (aka fourth last pic)
And look at Djoker & Nadal whispering sweet nothings! Hahahahaha. My tennis idols! <3
And finally, the cute last pic, stating that onions are not the only thing that makes one cry!
See these pics! :D
I guess the pictures speak for themselves!
I went to cousin with my cousin, dined at Wavehouse sentosa.
Better go there when there's one-for-one on a Wednesday, else the bill would choke up to more than $100 with a main course, drink, & dessert.
Walked along the siloso beach, lovin' the quietness and tranquility it brings on a wednesday afternoon. Nice view of the horizon too.
Me being very adventurous even turned around on the Sky Ride to take pics of the sea. (not advisable, but it's REALLY fun!)
Hmm.
And cousin bought that Brown Hat I'm wearing in one of the pics below.
I bought the flip flops u see me wearing in black with rainbow striped sides.
Yup. Went on the Luge ride twice.
Shall post another blog on another issue str after this!
Btw the kampong chicken main course was just alright. Nicely marinated and stuff, tangy sauce, but not particularly spectacular.
The airy milk chocolate cloud dessert is not recommend. Not very nice except for the brownie-like chunk (quite a large piece) in the center of the dessert.
The drink I had, 'Beach Bunny' tasted like watermelon juice with vodka. Haha. I liked it for it was sweet, but a little bit bland, wud hav preferred a stronger alcohol/ higher content of alcohol blend in.
Prefer the 'sex on the beach' shots. :3
I <3 the driving circuit more day by day. The smooth parking and turns. Though your traffic lights disrupts my flow sometimes... :)
I'm sorry if my hard braking hurts u sometimes...
But I'm glad everything worked out fine. :3
I love you driving circuit. :3
