Monday, October 30, 2006 Had my 1st driving lesson last Sat.Never would I imagine I'll be sitting behind the wheels & be driving this lifetime since I have a phobia of driving. And for whatever reason, whenever I'm sitting at the driver's seat I always feel giddy or have headache, especially glancing at the rear or rear-view mirrors. Also, I always had weird dreams of me driving and then involved in some bizzare scenarios (the other most frequented dreams are of my teeth dropping). So on Sat, I was all nerves & had butterflies in my stomach. hahaa! First lesson involved me driving in the circuit & learning to filter/turn left. The constant jerking (cuz due to a lot of learners in the circuit & my "unsmooth" braking) made my head spin. At the end of the almost 2hrs lesson, I ended up with a VERY BAD headache. My right leg's muscle was also very tight. Think my sitting position wasn't optimal & having tried driving the first time, my changing of footwork between the accelerator & brake wasn't that smooth. Luckily my fiance was there to fetch me home. Applied medicated oil in the car & went back immediately to take a short nap! haha...really buay tahan! Learn driving machiam "half-life gone" (translate from mandarin). Even Michael was laughing at me...he says learning to drive is supposed to be very relaxing one, how come for my case, it's like so jialat. I cannot imagine what would be next for my future lessons since they would be tougher, especially for reversing or parking (which involves looking in the mirror). Maybe I'd be the 1st learner to puke in the circuit. Would probably have to ask the instructor for a time-out, take out plastic bag & puke! hahaa *pengz* Wednesday, October 18, 2006 For the past few weeks, the haze here is getting quite bad. As if got a fog covering the whole of Singapore.Can't even really see the tall buildings from far... And cuz of that, want to go jogging also cannot *sigh* On another note, I'm happy that I finally get the church venue & priest to preside over my wedding settled. Going to confirm & sign the contract with the hotel next Sunday. After seeing several hotels & their package, we finally decided on M Hotel. A bit pricey but the ballroom is nice. I like their avant garde design. Heard mixed reviews abt their food & service....but hopefully I pray mine will turn out well. Anyway, still got another year to go. My bridal package also signed liao...I'm looking forward to discussing with the designer on my wedding & evening gowns! So excited!! Now, the next headache is getting our own flat. Because of the stupid HDB combined ceiling income rule, we have to get our flat settled by this year. shucks! Too fast! Tuesday, October 03, 2006 September has been a good month to me.1. It has been announced that we will be getting half-mth bonus in Oct due to the IMF/WB event (yipee!! comes in very handy!) 2. I passed my Advance Theory test. Which means I have to take my practical lessons soon. Very scared of driving but no choice...fiance insisted me to learn. 3. I'd be getting a pay raise due to my good work performance (double yippee!!). Was actually offered a job elsewhere but my boss told my GM and they decided to increase my pay & wld like me to stay with the company longer. 4. Michael & I went to apply for our ROM date. Went to buy our wedding bands & he also bought me an engagement ring. Our customary should be in Dec next yr but now am already starting to look for venues. A very tedious process cuz got to make sure the church & dinner venue is available on the same day, ding-dong here & there until I damn pek-chek at one point. Going to view a few shortlisted venues this weekend Poor me! This month think I'll only see Michael for a few days as he'll be traveling quite abit. Boohoo! |
