Too much.

Eh. One of you, I don't know who, but you sent me an email with a horrible virus.

How could you.

It ate up alot of crucial files.

Now my computer can't function properly.

I am hurt.

Worse, look what it did to my mouse.

gentinggenting!

Shan't blabber too much. Check out the pics. Not many, about 12 of them. ((click on pics))

Climate was nice. Didn't feel like Malaysia. Drive was around 4 hours, 5 inclusive of stops. Really nice place! Food wise, wasn't that spectacular, cos of the presposterous price. Us paying in RM didn't really make any difference, actually. Kit Kat Chunky in Malaysia is cheaper than that in Singapore!

And I put on 2 kilos.

The April enlistment boys are going off soon! There goes my late night chats with caleb and zat! Ohh and not forgetting the song sending frenzy! haha. I can't wait for school to start.

Macs and a library.

Hey guys, I will be leaving for Malaysia in say, 2 hours time? I am supposed to be sleeping right now. If my mum were to wake up and see me typing away on the Compaq Presario, she's going to scream. Before that happens, I think I'll catch some shut eye, before the 4 hour drive to Genting. I'll be back on Sunday night, insyaAllah.

Hmm, do you think my dad'll let me drive the CRV? hehe. ((He doesn't even let my mum drive the CRV to Malaysia))

Hah. Its worth a try.

Anyways, my sister told me a really good joke just now. Its funnier if its told face to face, but heck, I was pretty amused. Considering the joke came from my sister. (or any Rafflesian, as a matter of fact) sorry Ba, no offence. hehe.

Someone's growing old.

My one day adventure

If you were on the roads today, and you might have seen a black Toyota Corolla weaving in and out of traffic. My instructor took me on a one hour adventure driving through hazardous terrain. Well, not so hard core lah. We drove from CCK to Eunos. Imagine my shock when this was the conversation we exchanged when he picked me up.

Instructor (his name is William) : (warmly) Hello Amylia! Good to see you.

Me: (smiles)

William: Okay girl. You take over.

My first reaction was. HEH? My second lesson only, uncle. But what the heck, I make an excellent driver. (well, almost) I drove like a drunkard. Sometimes swerving into the lanes of others. hehe. But most of the time I had control of the car. William yelled at me for driving at an outrageous speed of 60km/h, when I didn't even feel any adrenaline rush. He said it was far too fast for a learner driver on her second lesson.

Ah.

So, I have another pet peeve. Changing lanes suck. If you are in a vehicle and happen to be at my blind spots, I'm tremendously sorry, I have to bid goodbye to you. I refuse to check my blind spots before I switch lanes. William wasn't too pleased though. I think other drivers on the road must be swearing in their cars.


On the other hand, I am extremely pleased with myself because I drove from CCK to Eunos via Adam Road, Braddel Road..etc and I HORNED AT A TAXI! Taxi drivers are pests. No offence to any taxi drivers reading this, but taxi drivers are the worst drivers on the planet, well at least for Singapore. They don't signal when they change lanes, they don't give way when I have the right of way and most irritatingly, they stop everywhere and anywhere they want. Uncle, please go retake your highway code lah.

I was at Adam Road when a taxi came from a minor road on the left. It was my right of way and that bugger just drove off when I was so freaking near to him. Hello, what are horns for. My moment of glory. Hey, it feels good to horn at a taxi driver, with two L plates affixed in a conspicuous position on your car okay.

Don't play play with learner drivers okay.

A Little late

Well, considering everything that's happened this month, my blog entry is not the only one which is late.

Okay, oversharing.

Anyways, I had my first driving lesson last wednesday. It was a blast, although I was travelling at the speed of a walking man. I only hit the gas when I got too frustrated at the pace I was going. We did turning and reversing. My instructor has the eyes of an owl. He knows every single move I make: where I looked, if I stared. When we turned, I was so extremely conscious of how my hands moved, I would look at the steering wheel and not the road. And when I looked at the road, I had a tendency to look at the road just beneath my car. We were supposed to look far, far infront.

It was fun, for the first time making a car move from the drivers' seat. If only the lesson rates weren't that presposterous, I'd be taking lessons everyday. My freaking instructor gets paid more than me, by the hour. Damn. My salary is fast depleting. But, whatever, its fun to drive.

Now to study for the final theory...

You know something's not quite right when...

10) You have to wage war against lizards in your house every minute of the day, and every part of your house, even in the toilet.

9) You have a chat with your friend and he tells you he swears the overhead bridge at Far East was going to collapse when 3 women ran across it and he was fearing for his life because he felt like a richter scale.

8) That friend tells you that he was going to write a complaint to "Far East's Bridge committee" and place "No Running" signs on the bridge.

7) You laugh cruelly about it when you think of it, even til today.

6) Your friend tells you that if she was to marry a really old guy *just* for his money, she'll never let him lay a finger on her, even on the first night.

5) Your friend continues that if that happens, you'll probably see the headlines in the newspaper the following day, "drowned (in own sweat) due to overdress to avoid contact with husband"

4) You laugh hysterically until today when you picture the bedroom scene in your filthy little mind.

3) You wake up to a phone call from a relative telling you that she's in the toilet doing her number 2.

2) You go off to teach tuition and the student chases you around the house trying to touch you.

And the top reason is...

1) You use the word "ludicrous" in a sentence and your sister asks if that's the guy who sang "Yeah" with Usher.

A pictorial representation of how my day went.

Alright. Lets get things started..



I'm craving for cookies today.. Lets bake.



(( I couldn't take photos of the cookie dough and whatnot cause my hands were dirty. duhh. ))



After all that washing, my stomach started to grumble. Luckily my mum came to my aid. She called and told me she's going to IMM during her lunch break and asked if I wanted anything.



Now that's all done, ...









Ooh, now that the cookies have cooled,



Okay, this happens when you've got too much free time on your hands. Results were okay, all my unprecedented panics and paranoia was all worth it. Alhamdulillah. Now lets see what I can do next. I'm really bored. Why isn't anyone online?

Pre-results blogging

I'm a wreck now. Its the first time ever that I woke up to feel my heart pounding against my chest. Why oh whymust we be subjected to such emotional torture? I can't wait till 2.30, but then again, I'm dreading it. I bring myself back to 2002 when I were preparing to receive our O level results. I was relaxed. I even went for lunch with Janice, completely chilled.

Now. I'm all psyched up. My family couldn't stop rambling about the results yesterday, making me more paranoid than ever. (( i told my parents I left a question blank for my FM )) I announced that there was to be no more speaking of the results anymore that nighht. But it didn't help, cause somehow that topic would surface again.

Everyone on MSN has scary nicknames.

I'm trying to clear my head now. No more thoughts. Just take the results and accept what ever comes. I did my best, prayed hard.

Tawakal amylia, tawakal.

InsyaAllah.
