teeheeheee! it's friday evening! and no more rushing of work for awhile. so much so that now i feel weird again cos im not getting down to something. yet if i lose myself and just go play again, i'll lose the momentum and next week have to grapple and struggle all over again with deadlines.

this week has been summed pretty much in a way that i spent monday and tuesday night Out, and wednesday and thursday nights Up. then friday is relax and slack off again.

finally managed to submit some evidence stuff in the essay to nuria. and hehe. approved!! :D:D worked on that on wednesday. struggled to wake up the next day for 102 tutorial. the group presenting their work were good! then after that, i went off to bbdc for driving. learned directional change. and it's not that hard. was feeling quite happy i got the car almost straight and then as i turning out, i mound the curb. haha. on thursday, i finally got quek again as my instructor. on tuesday, i got the au instructor guy for the 2 sessions. and although tt instructor is part of the 4 man group of 6010 group, i am more familiar with Woo and Quek! the other two, well, one guy i know of him as the wear sun glasses man. he took me on my last lesson in july. he's really diligent and really draws diagrams and all to help me understand.i remember,on my last lesson in july, he wrote down specific points for me to work on,on a piece of paper! the one im least acquainted with is the au fella. besides, he looks a little ah beng, fringe down his forehead. although he is patient i guess. kept repeating himself in a controlled low tone. least he didnt blow up. but i still not familiar with him. maybe it was just the 'i will teach with patience' sticker on the dashboard which helps him keep his cool.
it's so funny that when i scanned my ic to see which instructor i was assigned to, i felt happy and grinned a little to know it was one of the 2 familiar people i know.maybe i finally understand a little how happy swee would feel whenever she got nizal as her instructor. yep, not grouching about the bbdc instructors anymore.

it's also peculiar cos, when i first got quek as intructor i found him rather grumpy and fierce. but well, now i don't care if he gets a little angry, and just giggle/laugh. at myself. bbdc instructors are weird. when he saw i was doing circuit for the lesson, he said in chinese 'wah, this kinda hot weather you come and learn parking..want my life ahh?' then in the car, while i was doing whatever's needed, he said he needed to eat his bread..which consists both his breakfast and lunch. and then he still had to take his medicine..so yea la he do what he wants in the car. the bbdc guys are quite poor thing actually to sit next to so many trainees a day. jerking up and down in the passenger seat and mounting up curbs. the funny thing was, all the curbs i mounted that day was on the passenger seat side. so poor thing lor. then as i comitted a lot of mistakes, and kept shouting'shit!!!!' he got tired of it after awhile i guess, and said 'one day you want to say shit how many times?' i said.. well, the longer time lapse between my driving lessons, the more 'shits' will fly outta my mouth. and he was like..'you say shit no use one.. must step brake mah.. you say shiit!!! the car will still move and bang accident leh' then he say i three mths never drive like 6 mth never drive. hai. bbdc instructors are grumpy and anal, yet funny if u just take them lightly and everything with a pinch of salt. my sister's one is also always very cranky but we always just laugh at them, and ourselves for being such klutz and still having the cheek to go learn driving.
As for woo, i just find him funny cos he keeps this straight face kinda look and he reminds me of the potato hamburger cartoon man, i THINK from mcdonalds a long time ago in the happy meal. but i doubt anyone knows what im talking about. heh.

went for evangelising with jane to this girl who was just doing her work. when i returned to school. although i dont do much of evangelising, hehe, ive done it twice now! i know everytime you get to do it for the Lord, its a real blessing. to share the joy and His love and the good news of the gospel to others, and at the same time appreciate his love so much more for me. and at the end of it, you just have to declare, God you're a great God, and Wow! and thank you thank you thank you for loving me!!! :D may others see you too. open their eyes please, amen.

In the evening, we went for crossraods, i went for the first time. i really like singing songs. they really lift the weary,downcast spirit up! i appreciate songs more than message sometimes too though. well, being cc, they sang contemporary christian songs. heh. im slowly getting familiar to more, can open my mouth and sing along already and not just stare. all this, from going to matthew's church and hearing other types of praise songs. well, it was only twice, but somehow, i picked up a few tunes from there. and so, i was able to sing 'through it all' on thursday at crossroads. and then i remember he raised his hands up at that time which i found so weird. yet when i rmbr tt time yesterday, i felt weird tt people never really raise their hands. of course my hands stayed glued to my sides, but i already imagine myself raising my hands too. haha.

then it was back home at about 10 to face AB assignment one last time, before today. stayed up and just pia it till abt 3 then flopp into bed! But i must say, perhaps going for crossraods and spending time with God's happy people make a difference and give good vibes to spur me on. Thank God, thank God! waking up this morning a little hard. but still made it for 830 vivian's elcture. no skipping! but iw as sleepy. felt like dozing. quite bad. we watched changing lanes the movie today. to pick out quotes to serve as example for different ways of communication. well, maybe i'd go to video ezy and borrow that dvd to watch. its not boring,i could understand and it got my attention.

did you know when i skipped wednesday's lecture, there was actually a mini assignment due today? i so lost la! but just as i was gonna think of not handing in the work, which will only contribute to class participation, felicia was more than helpful and guided me through my work. i really appreciate that, that she could take the time and just patiently explain to me. God sent! so in the end, i too had something to hand in to dr vivian! :)

Then , it was meiji expedition! i planned for it this friday, cos it's not every week that im that free on friday despite the free slot, strategically directly in time with the time meiji shop opens.so i took this chance! and on the way, roped kash in to join me! haha. so she knows of a new place today! while waiting for bus 246, i saw a group of jj kids get in the waiting line too, and i know they were headed for meiji too. if only i'd known earlier. then a3 would've been meiji-ing the whole week through. and char Q could get her choc baby chocolates etc. But then we wld've been a fatter class. haha.

Got back to school building on time, and sat in for cs 106. other people giving speech 2 today. today we learnt how to handle questions through small group discussions, and since its Speech, class, we pretty much ended up chit chatting in a fun way than the formal way.

then went to brenden lyuts cs 816 lecture, which i went to S/U that module yesterday nigth and feeling happy about it! lousy grades in that don't need to bother so much already. ahdned in the AB assignment. sat with kelly and cherie!

lab wasnt so bad today. slowly getting the hang of it. and accepting when there's work to do it, theres no other better way around it than to shut up and get down to it, finish it and go home. my new group today was daisy, aiping and me. finally produced some better wrk in front of aiping so i think she wont think im a hopeless useless! although it took quite a long time for me to fully find a proper site and get typing.

talked to sarah and noelle on the bus to interchange and took 180 home. watched the last episode of the nine o clock show.

and at the end of the show, where the producers wrap up the story line, i found myself gasping and staring wide eyed at my sister.WHAT HAPPENED TO SINGAPORE'S TV SCENE?! HOW CAN THEY DARE TO SHOW SUCH A CORNY ENDING TO THE SINGAPORE POPULATION??!! thats why in times like these, i wont blame people who think singaporeans are all stupid. marriage proposal scheme in a court setting?! lessons to the opulation about marriage preparation and silly act cute lines poor ivy lee has to recite??!!! -gasps more-.

i'm gonna sleep after this. i only got 31/2 hours sleep yesterday! so i was up for about 20 hours!?!! scary thought.

tomorrow's saturday. i feel a little lost actually. but there's ballet for sure.

its really time i find some clothes for my macbaby and get it a keyboard protector.
