1st Drive of My Life

Drove for the 1st time on Saturday. Technically, it was my 1st time driving after I got my driving licence. However if you included those time when I was behind the wheels learning, it should be considered my 33th time lor. 8-)

Drove my sister-in-law's car. Was a very stressful drive. Kind of regretted listening to "certain" person's advice to get my dad to sit next to me when I drive. Chow Turtle! He stressed me more than the road. Ranted and ranted at me from the moment I started the car till we reached our destination (Tampines Swimming Complex).


I've just entered the car, not wanting to stuff everyone in the car from the afternoon heat, I started up the car to switch on the air-con. I then adjusted the driver's seat. Then just as I wanted to adjust the mirrors, he started his ranting.
"Handbrake! Handbrake! You never release the handbrake!"

"Wait. I haven't......."

"Don't wait liao! You never release handbrake how to drive the car!"

"I know must release the handbrake but I........."

"Just release the handbrake lah!"

(Seeing no point in arguing with him) "Ok...ok....I release."

And so I released the handbrake, without even adjusting the mirrors, and drove the car. Then as we were passing the TPJC, I really cannot tahan liao. The view in the rear & side mirror look partially blocked to me lor. So I don't care liao, I stopped the car in front of the foyer of TPJC to adjust the mirror.

"Why you stop!?"

"I want to adjust the mirrors."

"What!! You never adjust the mirrors before you start to drive? How you pass your licence like that??!!!"

"............" (Chow Turtle!)


Later as I drive, he ranted on some more.

"You're too slow! Faster!"

(I was travelling at 50 km/h, so I increased speed to about 60 km/h.)

"Too fast! You want to kill us?"

(Slow to 55 km/h)

"Why so slow?!!"

(............)

Distance travelled during this ranting was only from the traffic light of TPJC to the traffic light of Gongshang Primary. i.e. traffic light to traffic light, straight road, no cars on the road, OUR CAR was the only car on that road at that time.

And of course that were many more rantings but I can't be bother to write them all down lor. Hahaha. I mean come'on lah. All his rantings were for nitty critty things only. This is my 1st drive, ok. No need to rant at me wan lor. No need to act like a LC Shitface lor. He ranted so much that as we were about to leave the swimming complex, I just told him, "Ok lor. Since you say my driving is bad. You drive lor."

"Nooo....you drive. You need more driving experience to improve."

"What for I drive? You cry father, cry mother when I'm driving. You drive better correct?"

"No lah! You drive. I make noise is to help you improve mah."

(Hmmm.....quite true.....ranting that my hair was long and I'm wearing Bermudas when I'm driving, CERTAINLY improves my driving.)

So I gave him the "Don't give me your crap" face, took out the car key, passed it to him and said, "Either you drive or I drive but you keep quiet. If you don't want to drive but still want to make noise. I'll leave the car here and take the bus home." And I ended with a "I don't give a damn" face.

I drove the car back, my dad barely made any noise.

Apologies to my ex-pupils

Went for my driving test today. Heng Heng pass lor. Got 18 demerit points. Tamade! 2 more points I'll have to re-test liao. Damn lucky lor. 8-)

I'll also want to say sorry to all my ex-pupils for not being able to turned up for their Sports Carnival today. I was held up at the driving test centre lah. Before today, I thought after my test ended at 10am, by around 10.30am, I can go home liao, so I should be able to reach Tampines by around 11am. It was only after my test than I know that the counter staff at the driving centre is so inefficient wan lor. You see ah. My test ended at 9.55am, then after listening to the tester debriefing, I went to the video room to watch a compulsory but damn "boliao" safety video lor. The video cannot skipped because it was only during the video then the driving centre staff endorsed and stamped my result slip lor, so die die must watch the video. I expected that liao so I thought after that can go home liao. But I was wrong lor. After the video, I had to go to the traffic police counters (only 3 counters) to get my photocard driving licence printed lor. Initially I thought just submit the required forms / documents, pay the money then can go liao. It shouldn't take too long lor. So I reached the counters, took my queue numbers and sat down. After a while, I realised that the staff manning the counters are damn inefficient lor. They seems to take century to call each numbers wan lor. The best part is even though there are a large number of people waiting in the small room awaiting the processing of their various application forms (PDL, Conversion of Foreign Licence, Printing of New Driver's Licence), one of the staff actually closed 1 of her counter at 11.30 am and go for a 1 hour lunch. TA-MA-DE! So inefficient! Seeing the visible big crowd, can't they at least get the supervisor or another staff to stand-in for that staff while she goes for her lunch? With 3 counters their pace are already slower than snail liao, you can just guess their pace with 2 counters. You can also imagine the temper flaring in that small room. I sat down at the seat, half dying from hunger (I no eat breakfast yet) & boredom, for 2 hours before they finally decided to call my number at 12.40pm. By then, the sports carnival had already ended liao.

So sorry gals & guys for not "gracing" your sports carnival. 8-)

Pre-Arrival Announcement

Today went for my final revision for my driving test tomorrow. Having abit of pre-exam jittery now. This is my 3rd time liao. Die die must pass this time, or else when BMW hear I took more than 3 times to pass, that A.H. is going to tease me using his damn lame humour lor. The instructor did a pre-test evaluation with me. Not bad lor, only kanna minus 2 points only. Damn on-form today, hopefully the streak will continue all the way till the end of my test tomorrow. 8-)

To all my ex-students, I just wanna inform you all that tomorrow, pass or fail, I'll still go down to YPS to support the Sports Carnival lor. My self-proclaimed "god-daughter" begged me for like 3 weeks liao. Have to go down this Friday lor, or else my mobile will kanna flood by her till it explode. My mobile very important leh. Sony-Ericsson leh. Quite ex and good wan.

Speaking of going down to YPS. Last Tuesday when I met up with TT, she told me that BMW once messaged her last year informing her that I went down to YPS for the Lower Primary Sports Day. He said that I'm not supposed to come into the school. When TT asked him why can't I come into the school, that joker never reply lor. BMW's message kind of raise my temperature a bit lor. I always known him as being a lame person but I didn't knew he can be so duh wan lor. Who is he to stop me from entering YPS? As far as I could recall he hasn't been promoted for the last 5 years (inclusive of this year). We both started on the same date, so I know damn well what is his rank and grade now lor. No need to b/s me wan lor. If we take away those teachers who had just graduated from NIE and those who transferred in after I left YPS, with completion of the recent promotion exercise, BMW is the only lao jiao that is still in the LOWEST rank and grade. Hahaha. Diao zhng for 5 years! Still act big shot! Kanasai man that fellow. Prior to going down last year, I called the Operation Manager (OM) of the school to check if it's ok for me to go down or not. For information, the OM is also in charge of the physical security of the school. i.e. security guards. He told me just come down lor. No problem wan. And when I reached the school, I also met the Vice-Principal and we chit-chatted for awhile. The VP also never stopped me from coming into the school. Furthermore my motive for coming into the school is not to commit any mischief or offence, I'm just there solely as a guest to support my "fans". It's not my fault that I'm so popular that when I was there, my "fans" crowded around me like I'm some Korean stud actor. Plus I never anyhow walk hor, I only went to the parade square and main gate. The places "I visited" were so few that, Princess on knowing that I was in YPS that day but didn't pop into the staff-room to say hi, scolded me for not doing so. You see even people who are many grades above him never make noise, other than to scold me for not visiting them in the staff-room where "sensitive documents" maybe found. So by what statute / law / rule / position / rank / grade / salary scale / power, do he have to stop me from coming? That's none I'm afraid, so don't act so big when you are just so "small". Hahaha

Complaint to a Good Friend

I'm writing this entry to "lodge a complain" to TT. Prior to meeting up with TT on Tuesday, we had msn-ed and sms-ed quite a few times where I played "Uncle Agony" to her. Everytime she provided me with only a brief description of her "agony", promising to tell me the whole "juicy" details when we meet up. So last Tuesday, when I went to meet up with her, I went with a kind of "kay poh" attitude lor. Then............that fellow play me out leh. Out of the 6 events that she promised to tell me the details, that char bor only told me the details for 2 events only. Win liao lor! Diao wo de wei kou! (Give evil eyes to TT)

But then hor.......she paid for the makan when we left leh.............I haven't paid her yet.......hmmmmm..........so I guess I've to say good things of her then........TT you are very nice.......You are very good..........You very kind-hearted.............Hahaha............What else to say leh? Oh yeah! Can I don't pay you until you tell me the details of the other 4 events? Hahaha 8-)

My Bitching Entry #02/08

Today met up with TT for a very late lunch. Spent about 2 hours bitching about other people. Hahaha. Quite shiok leh. During the same time, I also listened to her complain about her pampered sister.

When I got back in the evening, i msn-ed with one of my "spy". (To keep the "secret" identity of my spy, I shall use "it" as a pronoun to prevent people guessing the gender) I had another bitching session with my spy. My spy told me "it" had read my blog entry about my success with my china kid. In that entry, I mentioned a "TAN" and a certain "SEAH". My spy was quite bright lor, "it" was able to guess the real identity of that 2 jokers. My spy also don't like that "SEAH" lor.

Here an excerpt of my spy's messages:

"She teach the lesson can be soooooooooooo boring that u feel like sleeping"

"and then hor...she always scold...and scold and scold"

"almost the whole class dun like her ah..."

"say in bad ways la...she sux!!"

"can say even worse la...she is the worst teacher i've met in my life so far"

"1 day hor...the hw can give a lot one lor"

"my fren and i do like mad cow"

"bcuz hor"

"if dun do hor...she will say get outta my class!!"

I promised my spy that I'll blogged about what "it" told me. So here goes..........Wow! I thought that "SEAH" should be a damn good teacher leh, since that ah "TAN" so like her. But apparently it's not the case lor. Seems like ah "SEAH" is doing sucks lor. Even my spy don't like her. I suddenly felt a sense of pleasure in me because finally i heard from someone from the ground that ah "SEAH" is a lousy teacher. Definitely even worst than me. HAHAHA. To think that she is now going overboard to "carry the bola" of her new boss and her new boss like bo chup her. Wah! she now damn desperate liao leh. "Ground" no like her, "Sky" no like her. She may as well go jump from the 6th floor of the school liao. Plus don't let me start on her fake eyelashes. OMG, her fake lashes are a joke man! Even I, a guy who never put on fake eyelashes before, can say that the way she put on her fake lashes is a joke lor. She is really bad lor. Laugh until people die siao. Hahaha. I wonder who taught her how to put on her make-up and fake lashes wan. Elizabeth Taylor???
