My New Haircut... A cut off my past time

Had too much time left after driving before my driving lesson. Din wanna study in school, and my whole head was itching, so I decided to go for a haircut. To change a look and get a fresh start.

Layered it kinda of short, but just as long as my hairstylist cut off all the dried hair and split ends, cut off my past, and I would be like the new hair that will grow once again.

After a haircut and a wash, felt so much lighter and fresh and I was ready from my final practical evaluation. Got Lim CC today. When I saw his name, I was thinking in my heart "This time sure die la, sure to waste money and come back for another evaluation. God, please help me!" Reason was that the lesson I had with him, I made many many mistakes and really got lots of scolding. (Erh... not exactly scold la, but...)

He prepared me and said he's gonna do the evaluation twice. If I score 26 points or below, he'll pass me, which I thought was really fair and a good deal cos the actual driving test I can only pass if I score 18 points and below.

First we did test route 3. Bad.. I scored 48 points plus 1 immediate failure. Hai.. Still got one more to go. Next was test route 9. Very nervous.. We tabulated the score at the end of the route. I score 26 points, but with 2 immediate failures. Sucks.. Then Mr Lim was asking me, "How ah? Should I pass you? Should I?" Erh.. I really dunno what to say. The next moment he turned to me and said "You can go book your test date one hour later."
Praise God... He passed me. Yeah..

So now, I shall await my actual test on the 2nd Nov. Pray for me, folks. :)

My New Buddy

Went to meet up with Leona, my lecture mate in ESAP this evening for dinner. Ha.. only knew her for 2 weeks and we really click. We went to shop around city link and marina square, dined at Coffee Club.

Chatted over dinner. We could just talk about anything under the sky. After dinner, we went to shop for sandles cos her slippers are worn out and she needed a new pair. We got stuck in VNC trying on nearly every pair of footwear. Hah.. she bought a pair of every Victorian Style of heels. We wanted to get the same pair so we can go out together wearing them, buai.. but my feet too big. But I bought another pair of shoes though. A pair of violet shoes with mini heels. We were so engrossed shopping for shoes that we din even notice the time and by the time we made our purchase, the store was closing their accounts for the day already. Haha...

After which I brought her to Wild Hibiscus for ice cream. Whoho.. Haven eaten their ice cream for quite some time le. We sampled a few flavours. She ordered the cookies'n'cream and I got a durian. Wo..Mine is really durian. A fun evening indeed.

Leona is someone whom I could tell everything too. We'r so alike in our personalities. In her, I see myself. Sensitive, emotional, ambitious, relational.. The things we like also sama-sama: ice-cream, shopping, pink.. My new buddy..

Oops.. some people gonna be jealous.. Cui cui and sally.. no worry k.. you gals are still my buddies..I know, you gals shall be called my buds. Voila..Muacks.

Chill-out @ The Cheesecake Cafe

Suet is down with dengue. She claims to be a part of the statistics to this nation's crisis. Wanted to visit her on Thur when she got admitted into cdc, but I really am too busy. But the great news is that she got discharged today. So I arranged to meet Grace, Sharon and Hanna for dinner to celebrate Grace's birthday, then go to Suet's house to surprise her and shun bian "chong chong xi" for her. Ha.. but cos I was super late having to cheong down to Parkway to meet them, the girls really waited long for me. So paiseh. In the end, we met at Parkway then walked to Suet's house without dinner. Cos I ald arranged with Suet's mom beforehand, so we got into her apartment compound easily.

Suet din look as though she's sick, only that she looked super tanned, like roasted PIG. (O well like she said, she has been eating well in the hospital. Eat and Sleep and vice versa. Real PIG.. ahahaha) Since she is well, we dragged her out for dinner at The Cheesecake Cafe in Siglap where both Suet and I had always wanted to go try out. But now that all of us are here, besides val, it's even better.

Business was really good tonite that the place was packed so we ended up in the outdoor dining area which was along the main road. The menu came in form of a cd casing and there's a great variety of cheesecakes. They have 4 different categories of cheesecake: House Special, Classic, All-time Favourites and Others.

Ha so we ordered a cake from each of the 1st 3 categories: Peach with jelly, blueberry and strawberry oreo. Indeed the classic blueberry cheesecake is very classic. Nothing really special about it but the other 2 really captured our hearts. They are so fantastic. The cakes just melted in the mouth. Yummy.. We also ordered pasta, wings and wedges. I like the wedges too. Crispy of the outside, and very soft on the inside.

The cafe serves plain water in beautiful glass bottles and Grace was really fascinated with the bottles. I think I've seen those bottles at value store. Ha.. shall get her one for xmas. Hehe.. (one bottle only, not the whole set ah! :p)

Had a great evening of chit-chat and chilling out. But too bad the time is too short. We planning to go makan and chilling again next wk. Love to be with my friends.

Back blogging

Sorry everybody, haven been blogging for very very long. Have been super busy with work and tuition. In addition, school just started in full force this week. Oh.. Not forgetting I went through some devastating moments. Hehe.. What's up? O well.. I received my results for my 1st yr. I flunked my echoing and principles of banking. Sucks.. But oh well I can still move on to year 2 but next year I'll have to take 6 papers. Diong....

So this year I've also chose to take 3 further units of Elements of Social and Applied Psychology (ESAP), Financial Reporting (FR) and Marketing (MKTG), besides the unit of Intro to International Relations (IR)which I started in Aug. Bluah.. So from this Monday onwards, I'll have full day on my timetable from 9-5 on Mon and Wed, and 9-12 on Thur. Other days I'll have to be working..

Hai..Actually thought of not working so much le but my boss Karen is really nice to me and she really trusted me lots, so she really din want me to quit. Thus she offered me the flexibility to work and that I can study as I work when the office isn't so busy.

Hai.. Really need to study. Have been thinking the past wk whether I should buy a study table to motivate me to study but my room and my house really really got no more space le. Hai.. And pa just bought me a small pathetic bookshelf to put my books and stuff which I threw all around my room. Ahhhhh.... Need a breakthrough out of this room..

Oh.. let me touch on my 1st official week in school. Monday was ESAP and FR. Bluah.. was alone for both lectures. Din have my buddies with me cos they din wanna take ESAP and wont be taking FR this yr. Hai.. But nonetheless I still got to meet new people. In ESAP class, we had to form tutorial group, and I formed a group with 3 other girls who were sitting around me. Hah.. We seemed to be able to hit off, o well not forgetting I'm the youngest. Best of all, we are all crazy pink lovers and we've agreed that we are going to wear pink to school for every lecture and be a outstanding pinky group. Hahaha....

Let me talk about my lecturers. I like my ESAP and MKTG lecturers. My ESAP lecturer is an ang-moh who claims to be a Singaporean and attempts to speak in Singlish with a very prefect english-pro accent and cracks lame, cold jokes or ask R-rated hypothetical questions. Haha.. Next about my MKTG lecturer. She's like a mother who nagged for half-hour before the lecture starts but I like the way she lectures.. very interesting. Haha.. Best of all.. I've not fall asleep in these 2 lectures. O well, maybe it's the lecturer who will engage my interest in the module. O and not forgetting my FR lecturer who's squeaking her voice at the top of the lungs, trying to sound like Minnie Mouse. Can you believe this, she was squeaking til she almost went voiceless, yet she still continued squeaking. Diong..

O and about my IR lecturer who claims to be deeply in love with political science. To me, it's boring. And yesterday my IR group did a presentation on the 1st assignment. I din volunteer my group and my lecturer approached me last month and wanted my group to present. Whatever.. Then and again I kana bombed by this sickening and highly disgusting guy called Michael. This Michael is an ultimate teacher's pet who also asks lots of questions. Pardon me but he's not a nerd. He behaves like a chao ah beng. Yucks.. Hate it. Cos I was presenting about human rights and stating that President Bush being the leader of a country who believes in human rights, went against the opposition voices and went ahead to launch the Iraq war which is against human rights. That jerk claimed that Bush did it to liberate the Iraqis who were oppressed by Saddam, and thus I was wrong to say that Bush dun respect human rights.

Dumb ...hole. Whatever. I might have take things personally but this is my battle. He posed me the question and my lecturer wanted me to answer. But before I could answer, my lecturer took over to talk about other topic. Then later he came back and asked me for my answer to that chao ah beng's question. I simply replied "Sorry sir, but I havent have the chance to answer his question. Firstly Michael has gotta get his facts right. Bush launched the war not based on the issue of liberating the Iraqis but to get rid of Saddam by claiming that his army possesses massive destructive weapons. But pardon me, has the coalition troops found any nuclear weapons of massive destruction?" So my lecturer turned to that dumb dumb and asked for his view and he claimed that the people of Iraq are freed. So I debated back that "No doubt the Iraqis are freed, but human rights was not the issue to the war. It's only after the war that the Iraqis are freed. NOT BEFORE." and I stared hard at him. He was completely speechless when my lecturer asked for his view.

Woho.. I won.. Thanks to the support of my members for me to fight that dumb X. My JOANNA'S feminist philosophy "I'll never let any dumb guy climb over my head." Trying to shame me, I'll make you even more embarrassed. Blahahaha..

Time to study hard le.
