Summarize Of The Week

Won a ticket to MAYBELLINE's new mascara launch at Zouk, thanks to WatsonsSg.
Since it admits 2 so I decided to ask Wendy to join me along.
The ticket is designed in a way that resembles a comic.
Did I mention the host of the event is Tosh Rock from ABTM? 
Too much fan-girls screaming for him when he first came out on stage, my ear was almost blown away!

Went driving around Singapore hunting for food and parking fees is driving me confuse!

I have never taken note of parking fees, I walk pass this sign board outside my house's carpark every single day without reading nor giving any attention. 

Feeling like some adult ):
#FOODPORN
#PRAWNING

Unfortunately I must remind myself that I only have less then 2 weeks old driving license, scratch the car while trying to reverse out of a parking lot at my work place. 

$100 fly!

Basically that's what I did for the past few weeks again.
Till next time!

PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!

Actually I passed my driving test on 8th July 2013 but I just couldn't find anytime to blog as I was busy scheduling my work timings and schools.

My advice to people when taking test, try to get the right time slot as that is very crucial to whether you pass or fail the test. 

Tip 1, Don't get the first slot and the last slot. Why?
Your tester just woke up for work and he might be sleepy and during the last slot he/she might want to rush home.

Tip 2, Avoid booking test in lunch hour or evening rush hours. Why?
There are simply too many cars on the road during that time so that makes it difficult to change lanes and higher chance of panicking which results in making many mistakes.

Tip 3, RELAX! 
That's very important as I just drove out from the parking lot and I already started panicking and made silliest mistakes which is so stupid! 

Nervously forgotten the difference between vertical parking and parallel parking ._. 
In the end I just try to calm myself down and apologies to the tester asking him to let me re-do everything. Thankfully he did and that's how I manage to complete my circuit without anymore hiccups. 

Tip 4, Be ready to answer and never argue with your tester.
I know this sounds very stupid but some people do argue with their tester, most of the time the tester with give you advice or scolds you but don't panic, don't be angry just be ready to answer "Yes, sir". 

Tip 5, Dress smartly or appropriately
Some tester are very judgmental, they don't test your skills but judge who you are based on how you dress. Don't fail your test just because you look like a gangster or some delinquent.

My test car, Honda City (Manual)
Results
Temporary license's to drive. Damage $50.

Once you passed and completed your driving lessons at Bukit Batok Driving Centre, they will refund any money that's left in your account via a cheque.

Met up with Wendy in the evening for some mini photo shoot and catch a movie. So jelly, her DSLR's kit lens is better than mine ):
Selca, Selfie whatever!
At Aston's while waiting for our food. Photo is in my Canon, so can't upload any of the pictures.
Sorry.
7 years of friendship and running!

After our dinner Lebf arrived shortly and all of us went to watch DESPICABLE ME 2!
But my day didn't end there, after the movie ended me and Wendy parted ways me and Lebf walked all the way from Douby Gaut to Chinatown for supper. Some famous porridge store. No pictures again, battery all died.

30th Driving and 4th Riding Practical

Sorry for the lateness in updating my blog as I was still trying to adjust to my new "life".

Today did my subject 5.01 which means right now all I have to do is sit back and relax till my driving test date.

As for my 4th riding practical which I did a few days back for subject 2.01, I did really badly till I have to repeat that again the next lesson. 
Money fly!

Will try to update the space as and when I'm free and have access to any computers...

23th, 24th Driving and 3th Riding Practical lessons

Sorry to dump all the reviews and thoughts in one single post as I kinda forgotten to blog about it. 

23th Driving practical learned vertical parking.  First time gotten a Malay instructor who seem quite fierce but his very friendly actually. Took 1 lesson to complete it and pass.

24th Driving practice is a little different but same because I have to utilize my skill on driving a manual car to an auto car. Totally forgotten the existence of my left leg haha! Told Lebf that if he were to give me an auto car I will guarantee pass my traffic police test! 

Did my 3th riding practical lesson 1.03 today. Did left turn because my group and I were awesome learners so we all pass and successfully moved on to 2.01 next lesson. 

That's all for today bye!

22th Practical Lesson

Did Vertical parking and moving off from the slope. Everything went well and smoothly, soon my lesson will be coming to the end. Good luck!

21st Practical Lesson

Missed my lesson yesterday because I overslept, wasted $67. 
(~_~;)

Re-learned my parallel parking today and manage to pass the subject! 

8 to 9 more lessons to complete, spent almost $3k+ already...FML.

Bye!

20th Practical Lesson

Stopped driving for almost a month. Learned reverse parking and parallel parking today. 

Made a fool out of myself today, previously when I went for riding there was a trainee who is quite noob, so I actually laughed quite loudly when the riding instructor said he came back for practice the 3rd time.

Turns out karma is a real bitch to me, the noobie rider is my driving instructor today!
T^T

One Step Closer

Woke up early today and head to Bukit Batok Driving Centre to get tested on my Final Theory Test. 
Scored 50/50, impressed? :x
Actually there is a trick in passing the Basic Theory and Final Theory test especially when you are getting the driving license from the school. 

Before going for the actual test go sign up for the practice session first, go try all the question and get familiar with the questions. 

That's how i scored 50/50 for both Basic and Final!
*(*´∀`*)☆

Booked my car practical on 8th July...Please pass!

18th Practical Lesson

Stage 3 of driving today doing the S course, one more course which I had forgotten what's the name and doing reverse parking.

Reverse parking is so tough!

I'm afraid I will just stone in the circuit tomorrow. Please be more alert!

17th Practical Lesson and some Plans for May&June

Successfully cleared Stage 2 of my driving practical today and since I need to pass my final theory test before applying for my driving test, the instructor advised me to go for my Stage 4 and 5 practical around a month before the driving test.

Which means after tomorrow and the day after, I will temporary stop going to BBDC for practical driving except May 9th, Final Theory Test. Please pass!

.
.
.

Yesterday met up with Evelynn to sign up up for the Japanese Elementary Stage 1, lesson will commence in May 6th every Monday evening 7.30pm to 9.30pm for 9 sessions.

Lastly in June, since I no longer needs to go learn driving in the morning. I planned to go British Council and take my ILETS.

Keeping my calendar packed with events!

15th And 16th Practical Lesson

Next lesson will be on review for Stage 2 Driving practical already, how time flies so fast.

Today's lesson was pleasant as I was chatting with my instructor the whole time.

Driving should not be tense and stiff must relax and chill, if not you will get super nervous and panic!

2 more week to my FTT already, 加油!

13th and 14th Practical Lesson

Forgotten to Blog about my driving yesterday so it will be a combined post.

Yesterday's lesson is on right turning and today is on U-turn.

Moving on and stopping the vehicle is getting relatively easier and smooth as I continued my practical lesson.

Keep up the good work!

12th Practical

Today is Stage 2 lesson 4, doing my lane change practice.

Overall I think I did not bad but the instructor thinks I'm not serious enough in my driving, thinks I'm playing car instead.
(~_~;)

Good thing is that the car engine didn't die, yay!

Moving on.

Went to Nation Museum again with Weiling and this time round Lebf joined us along. Next week should be going to Bukit Timah to visit the old railway track.

10th Practical Lesson

The instructor today is very awesome! He just pass me the keys and ask me to do everything myself, including driving out of the parked area.

I know it's seems easy but that's like a big step for me (:

Throughout the journey he just chit chat all the way without commanding me unless his trying to tell me to turn left or right.

Driving in my own pace (:

Pray hard my next lesson will also be the same as today!

9th Practical Lesson

Can I just rant it all out or just scream to no one in particular?

For so many lesson I won't say it's all fun and game but it has been joyful or bearable. But for today as I moved on to stage 2 or maybe it's the instructor, I'm being put under great stress!

Like hello! I'm the one controlling the wheels and brakes, please don't 他妈的 jam my brakes can or not? Or simply shout at me!

Le sigh...

Maybe 是我真的不好 ):
烂透了!

8th Practical Lesson

Finally my Stage 1 is completed!
☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆

Driving around Bukit Batok is quite fun as I didn't know there were so many sharp bends.

Need more control of the clutch!

After completing stage 1 we are able to book 1 driving simulator machine whereby they challenge your driving skills by posing many road hazards.

Tough!
But overall it's more like you are playing arcade game (:

7th Practical Lesson

Lesson was suppose to start at 7.30am but I woke up at 7.25am! Imagine how panic I was in this morning...
(; ̄ェ ̄)

As per normal for stage 1 driving practical, cruising around in Bukit Batok.

Was honked, lane being over taken and car engine died because I didn't accelerate enough!

Guess that's what happen when you stop learning to drive for a week.
。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。

Tomorrow will be a review lesson already, please pass! And I will be moving on to stage 2, in that I will have to learn how to do a U-turn, stop in a steep slope and blablabla~

Fighting!

6th Practical Lesson

Did unexpectedly well today which is a good sign, nothing much to comment on my happenings...

And my next coming lesson will be 2 weeks away already as I'm flying off to Bangkok again next week.
*\(^o^)/*

Do hope that after my vacation I will still remember all the things that I had learnt. If not all these lesson will be wasted!

Just a piece of advice for people who wants to learn how drive, try to wear covered shoes with thin soles to feel better of the pedals.
☆〜(ゝ。∂)
My trusty pair of sneakers!
(^ω^)

5th Practical Lesson

I was late, again!
(~_~;)

Thankfully the instructor wasn't angry but I can't help feel very guilty. Lesson was around the same as yesterday as I still can't control my clutch properly, engine kept dying!

Good thing is that I can now control better of my brake already.
o(^▽^)o

I need to practice more and starts to sleep early! Can't concentrate at all....Also noticed that each time I drive I must talk to myself...
´д` ;

Okay can. Try harder next time!
