Lazed in bed till i could hear that everyone has left the house.. that's so shiok. had been tired out the last few days from sleeping late and waking up for the 0835h driving lesson. today i had booked the 1035h one. so i can afford to wake up later..

Drats that it started to downpour around 0945h. wah kaoz. not a veri good omen juz before i take my 30-point assessment lesson. i almost have to drag myself to the driving centre due to the reluctance generated in me by the heavy rain. i brought along the giordano black umbrella but my shoes, socks, shins and even bermudas still got wet in the process.

the malay instructor assessing me was a new one. never seen before. as usual, i tried to start a conversation the moment i stepped into the vehicle. "Hi! wah.. what a heavy downpour!"... i always communicate better with malay instructors as compared to chinese. i realized i'm not comfy speaking in mandarin to them.

hmmmm... somehow mandarin has become a language i use with ppl whom i am closer with. Due to the fact that i feel my mandarin is peppered with many other speckles of english words which i do not know how to say in mandarin, i always felt that speaking in english to not-so-close-ppl would be more complete. argh..

i passed my assessment nonetheless. he brought me on test route 2 which he said was the hardest. i remember it as the one with the u-turn at the mac's in front kbcc. i dun remember the routes la. no point too says the instructor. after the lesson, i went for a hair cut. coz ORD parade is on the 12th. i've to book in tomolo morning for parade rehearsals. encik cancelled all our leaves and offs on the 5th of august.

back from hair cut, i reached home and fell deep into slumber again. haha.. dunno why feel so tired.. maybe it's the concentration while driving? when i opened my eyes, it's 5pm le. next lesson at 6.55pm. it'll be a comprehensive revision which i reckon will be based on the results of the 30-point assessment. ok.. till later..
