Long time no see. Havent been here cos... there isnt anything much to say? Lol. Yesterday, for the first time, I was driving at 70 km/h. Very fast for someone who is still a learner right? Haha..but having sat for driving exam twice, I am far from being a newbie correct? Decided to terminate my CDC membership and sit for driving test as a private student..Cos that is a lot cheaper that way.The instructor let me drive back home yesterday and that was when I tried driving at gear5. It was damn cool...Although I know that I should not be speeding but heck, got instructor with me correct? And during lesson while driving on test route I was going at around 60+ km/h. Instructor said that he can let me try driving at gear 5 again next time at the stretch of road near Temasek Poly..The roads there are really wide, straight and best of all, uncongested. He said that my driving is ok, just that the way that I drive is like I am rushing somewhere..haha..typical of me lol. Gan3 qu4 tou2 tai1 =)
Came across something really nice while reading today. "...In life you are going to make mistakes,you are going to fall down,but it's getting up that counts.Just like in baseball:you'll get a few hits, but most likely , you'll strike out more than you'd get on base.But don't quit......there is nothing, and I mean nothing,you cannot accomplish if you want it bad enough. The choice is yours.. Always has been.always be. Stay on your course. Be true to yourself, and you'll be fine"

My right arm is hurting like mad now. Had hell of a time playing badminton. Really fun cos I havent played it in a long long time. Also realised that I was somehow better playing with my left hand than my right. Surprising eh? If only I were ambidextrous. Can write with both my left and right hand. I suck at writing with my left hand.
Hmmm I also realised that I should also stop complaining so much about the hiccups that I faced during my exam this monday. Practice makes perfect. SO yes, that's the way to go and may He be with me. Cos I know no one else would. =)

Why is it that the more I clamor for something, the easier it slips from between my fingers? Why did it turn out like that? I dont know. Maybe it was sheer bad luck..and yes bad luck struck me twice. On when I needed it the MOST. Am really wondering when I can get my darn driving license. Have wasted a lot of time and money so far,but alas...

Sigh I failed my driving test AGAIN!!! Note that I emphasized the word AGAIN. Sigh I brushed against the kerb while doing directional change and man was that costly..14 points! 10 for hitting kerb and 4 for not checking safety. =( I also accumulated 2 immediate failures la..I really had a harrowing lane-changing experience yesterday during the exam sia...I checked behind but I didnt see the car..when I wanted to change the car just shot out from behind. Scared lor.... =( Also I caused obstruction at the junction. It was green light and I wanted to turn, but I had to give way to oncoming traffic, but by the time hte oncomoing traffic was cleared the lights turned red and there was no green arrow indicating that I can turn. So yes I was stuck at the junction. =( Well I think that one I asked for it one. But I was proud tt I could do my parking so beautifully...so happy. But that was not enough to save me lol. So. Hoping for better luck the next time!

It's Father's Day today, so I'd like to wish all the wonderful fathers out there Happy Father's Day! Yesterday my family and BD went out together for lunch to celebrate Father's Day and I think the lunch was really really yummy..Mmmmmmmm....
My parents are really fantastic people I think, counting BD in on numerous times[should I say more than 95% of the time?] when we go out for lunch and dinner,regardless of whether there was a celebration, or where we were going for that matter. =)Really really nice of them to include him so that I can lunch with my family and see BD at the same time.
I bet that my future sister-in-law [ am I thinking too far here? heeehee] will have a real easy time in future cos my parents are just so...fantastic.And my mom is a real good cook also ;) so my future sis-in-law will definitely have a rollin'good time eating my mom's food in the future!
I guess that mothers--in-law do play a very significant role in determining whether or not a marriage works. Meddling mothers-in-law are often the bane of a husband's married existence. But the tables were turned in a most unusual case in Italy, where a mother-in-law from hell has officially become the cause for a divorce and the wife was the one who filed the papers. On Thursday, the country's highest court upheld a ruling that granted a woman from southern Italy divorce on the grounds of excessive and inappropriate interference of the husband's parents in the private life of the couple.The words of the worn out wife seem to back up her matrimonial migraine. My husband was his mother's slave. He would hang on her every word while she criticized everything about me, my make-up, my diet, the way I was bringing up my daughter," she said in court. In the settlement, the free lady got the preferential treatment. She was awarded custody of her daughter and a generous alimony to compensate her for not being allowed to work after she was married. Meanwhile, the ex-husband returned home to live with his mother. Sounds like the punishment fits the crime.
Man I can't imagine life if my mother-in-law were like that! Meddling in everything that I do. So, I suppose,I'd decline a marriage proposal from a guy I love dearly if it is evident that his mother harbors hostility towards me,or disrepects me for that matter. Mothers-in-law must always remember that respect has to be earned, not commanded. If she does not respect me as an individual human being with rights, then I guess it is only right that such disrespect is reciprocated from her daughter-in-law.
And talking about respect, I think it is a two-way thing. You respect me, I'd respect you. You disrespect me, I'd disrespect you. I believe that this is the same too,even in parent-child relations.Parents should also realise that respect for their child's privacy,ownership of things etc are absolutely necessary. Well I think it is not unreasonable to say that there are many parents out there who don't quite respect their child's ownership of certain items, and thus,either throw them away or give them away without seeking their child's agreement.Like my aunt who apparently gave away some of my cousins' things away w/o their agreement to another cousin of mine. This greatly strained relations between my aunt and her children because they perceived that she loved them less.And this also led to animosity between my two sets of cousins.
I know that my mom is just the opposite. Before discarding any of my things she'd always seek my permission, even if it is just a piece of paper that I have done my rough work on. And yes, that really is sweet of her. I too have this thing that I got some 4months back on V Day. Though it no longer is in good form,for it is already brown,turpid and dusty,sitting on the shelf of my bedside collecting dust, she did not throw it away because she knows how much it measn to me.I really take my hat off her. She just knows me so well
Mutual respect is essential in the maintenance of relationships. There is this Chinese phrase li3 shang4 wang3 lai2. It does have the connotation that respect/formalities is a two-way street.And to the parents out there, I guess that you all should learn to respect their children. Heh and perhaps, "love me, love my dog"?Parents-in-law do play a critical role in determining whether or not a relationship works.Am I right to say that mothers-in-law like the one mentioned is too possessive? I guess that parents just have to learn to let go at the right time. Cling on to us kids, and we'd all drown.

Somewhere out there
Beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me
And loving me tonight
Somewhere out there
Someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another
In that big somewhere out there
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing
On the same bright star
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
If helps to think we're sleeping
Underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there
If love can see us through
Then we'll be together
Somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
And even though I know how very far apart we are
It helps to think we might be wishing
On the same bright star
And when the night winds starts to sing a lonesome lullaby
It helps to think we're sleeping
Underneath the same big sky
Somewhere out there
If love can see us through (can see us through)
Then we'll be together
Somewhere out there
Out where dreams come true
Will wait patiently till Thursday comes =) Then I'd see what I get, if there is somethinh..Hehe... 6more days. Ho ho. In the meantime, I had better concentrate on prepping for driving exam!!! Dont force my way thru when I wanna change lane!!1 Haha..Must remember tt. Just got the tendency to do tt.

I just hate the word SORRY. People use it in the hope of getting away with all the sh** that they have done. People say sorry when they are late.People too say sorry when they kill a person. But is the freakin' use of saying sorry when it doesnt do anything to remedy the situation? Will saying sorry make you early/punctual? Will saying sorry resurrect the dead?
I feel that people should learn to appreciate what others have done for them and stop saying that they are evil, bad, abusive....ta ta ta. Should take a step back and think of what has been done. And you will realise that the other person is far from being bad/evil/yada yada. You might even realise that the one who is bad/evil...is yourself. Those out there who keep complaining that others are treating u badly, pls sit back and reflect. Are you deserving that sort of trreatment that you are receiving? Have you done something to get that kind of treatment?
And to girls out there, never ever committ the horrible mistake of expressing your feelings in public cos some day the fool will just take you for a fool and think that you are just foolin' around. Well maybe they'd think that you wanna rape them or something. Yeah but if you are sure that your significant other is a New Age Guy, by all means express your passion in public. If he is a guy whose mind is like that of a person living in the Confucian era, you had better forget it. Might even tell you nan2 nu3 shou4 shou4 bu4 xing2. Crap. Can also forget abt doing nice things for the guy. Let him be your slave/think of nice things to do unto you. Well if he doesnt, dump him. You can easily give the excuse " Well, because of character differences, I guess it is best that we part"....A thousand and one excuses, need I say more?

Haha. Just suddenly feel like typing sth in again. Although my birthday is a good four months away, I just cant help but start thinking about what I'd like for my birthday. Well. Basically, I'd say that it is only once in a blue moon that I get really nice birthday presents. I got a really nice one last year from someone, and yes, the birthday present means a lot to me as to me, it has a significant bearing. THen, another present that I really love and treasure is the amethyst pendant that I have on my neck.
Heh. Will be nice to get some(?) of these things either this year or next year to celebrate my coming-of-age. [Well in Japan when you are 20 u are considered an adult. Here, it is only when u turn 21] Some things I know, sound..absurd.
1. BMW 6 Series Cabriolet-I think it's real cool!=)erm and yes, I need to pass my driving exam first >_<
2. A star registered under my name
3. That orange pearl necklace that I saw the other day
4. A new bottle of perfume. =)

I finally managed to catch Harry Potter 3 yesterday! But then, I should say that the tix did not come easy. Was at TM first to get the tix when I heard an announccement that the 1500 1530 and 1600 slots are full. Was quite disappointed, so I walked over to CS to get the tix. Got them.. *Grinz*
Feel that there are quite a number of things that need to be filled up. Well I guess this is all to common with movie adaptations. They always leave out certain details. So there I am, making assumptions about certain things. Well I suppose this is what is known as PASSIVE ENTERTAINMENT. I think that the new actor for Dumbledooore is no where as good as the original. =(

I just wanna say this to someone. I assume that you know who you are.
For, you see, each day I love you more.
Today more than yesterday, and less than tomorrow.
I used to think that love was a mirage of the mind. It's an illusion, it's fake, impossible to find. But the day I met you, I began to see,
that love is real, and exists in me.

I am in a real good mood today. Had driving lesson and the instructor said that I was not bad, just that sometimes I am a bit slow. shou3 jiao3 man4. But I made a very serious mistake today at the circuit. Turned right into the wrong lane. If I did that during the exam I'd have failed. Also, I stuck the parking pole down once. =( Heh but I managed to give some "pieces of good work". The instructor said that the parking is so beautiful,just like me. Was damn flattered by it. But a beauty will always be a beauty correct? Bhb..... Yep that was my 2nd time getting the comment that my parking is very sui4(Beautiful in Hokkien). Really hope to produce something like that for my exam. It's coming up in about 2.5weeks time. I wanna pass. Then I can drive around. However, will it be a long time before I become a really competent driver?

I do swear that I'll always be there. I’d give anything and everything and I will always care. through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow, for better or worse, I will love you with ever
T of my heart.)
From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on
From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on
You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on
It was my cousin's wedding on Sunday and boy do I like that pink chiffon dress of hers. Also think that her hairdo was really sweet. But then,I think that there wasnt much originality in playing Shania Twain's From this Moment On when she and the groom marched in. Copycat..Copy from Evelyn and Darren's wedding!I guess that if there evercomes a day when I get married I'd want to march to Canon in D or to the more conventional Wedding March.
Haiz the wedding dinner will be held on Oct 1 2005. So close to my bday..Had originally wanted to have my 21st bday party on that weekend. Sigh so it means that it's either I hold it one week before the wedding, or I hold it on the 2nd. Frankly I'd rather hold it on the 1st cos it seems that it is harder to get people out for a dinner on Sundays.If given a choice I'd rather have a mini celebration with friends on the 1st. I go to the wedding=small fry. If I have a bday celebration=I am the queen. Oh well. I guess I'd take things as they come.
I am wondering what is wrong with my damn internet connection. Wanted to post just now but I got d/c all of a sudden. !@#$%^&* Just got back from driving lesson. Instructor said tt I improved a lot. =) And i saw someone's TP checklist. She got 60+ demerits. Wah more pro then me sia
