Graduated!

I'm finally a graduate! I would like to thank my 3 best friends for taking time off from their work to attend my convo yesterday. * So touched * The flowers are really nice, but I don't know what to do with it...maybe I'll bring it to office to display. The RMIT degree was a bit large, but I carried it along (with all my other barang barang) to BBDC where I took my final theory test and passed! Now I could finally just concentrate on learning to drive. I think I'll be able to drive out in my next practical lesson. Hope I won't get too nervous and stall the engine again.

My 3rd driving practical lesson...

It was raining during my first 3 practical lessons. I remember an instructor mentioning that a past learner failed his practical test because he was unable to operate the screen wiper. I guess that won't happen to me. My braking is super lousy, as I was always braking too hard even though I have tried my best to be gentle with the brake pedal. Guess I'm not really the gentle type of person, haa. My engine stalls whenever I tried to be gentle on the accelerator pedal in half-clutch position (it was too gentle) or when I depress my clutch pedal late. My dear instructors, please be patient with me. I think I need more practice, but more practice means more costs. I hope I could complete all my practical lessons in 30 sessions. May I become a better driver soon and make life easier for both the instructor and myself.

Happy Birthday Singapore!

Yesterday was the first time I ever watched a NDP performance on the floating platform. I went early and got really good seats at the front! The weather was great and cool till the evening when it starts to rain. Everyone took out the poncho from their goodie bag and I didn't see anyone leaving the place even though the rain gets heavier after 30 mins. The performers continue their performance despite the rain and the hosts continue to host in the rain without any caps. The performances were great except for the few singing parts where the solo singer went really high pitch and loud. Maybe I'm just one of those who don't really know how to appreciate the high tones. Anyway, all the performers and staffs worked hard to make the show a success and I think they deserve the credit. May Singapore continue to prosper!
