i have 2 conclusions to make. haha.
1. singaporeans don't need to go visiting during CNY
-OR-
2. singaporeans finish all their visitings freaking early. hahaha.
judging by how full the cinema hall at VivoCity was on the 2nd day of CNY in the evening. 8pm show, Jack Neo's latest movie Just Follow Law. very good movie filled with the oh-so-typical anti-government diatribe that his movies are renowned for. i was suprised to see so many people at GV VivoCity. gee. no wonder its true that Singaporeans are like #1 in terms of movies watched a year.
well well. cny wasn't too bad. did the usual stuff. first 2 days open house as usual. lots of relatives came over so things were quite hectic! and went out visiting on the 3rd day. every cny we burn out. cos there's really so much to do. thank goodness the busy part is over! good time for a well-deserved breather. haha.
i've been marathon-ing driving too, i'm now at stage 2 subject 18 after 9 practical sessions. not too bad progress. i drove 5 hours in a stretch today. but then again 100 minutes really passes by so quickly you don't even feel it. HAHA i know i'm crazy. haha. now i know how taxi drivers feel. it sure isn't fun to have your feet at pedals the whole day, constrained in a seat! managed to get an early final theory date (3 march) which isn't too bad either. hopefully i'll be roaming the streets in august! haha
i'm exhausted. haha. no more driving for this week!

hmm. seems like driving is revolving around my life right now. i've been to the driving centre like every day the past week and i must say i'm making good progress. 5 lessons so far and i'm 2 modules away from completing stage 1. which i think can be cleared in another 2 lessons. not too shabby. pity the cost though. it's kinda expensive, but oh well.
other than that i only finished my CNY shopping yesterday. very fast huh. haha. what to do, when you're too lazy to go out to shop and haven't got a clue on where to shop at all. ended up trawling marina square and raffles city. got a T-shirt and a short-sleeve shirt, and $100 flies away just like that. haha. i should stop spending too much.
in the meantime, a very happy CNY to everyone!

hmm wow. not a single post for the month of january. haha. i must be good to not blog for so long. but then again, when you spend every other day at home and other times at work what is there to blog about? haha. well. life has been mundane as usual. i don't dare to go out nowadays cos its really expensive. thanks to adult bus and train fares. what a pain. probably the only times i go out is when i go to church or go to work. other times, i don't dare to imagine the brunt of transport bills on my pocket. hahaha.
oh yeah i finally enrolled for driving. basic theory is next week. SLOW man. fancy waiting 1 month just to get your test date. urggh. that probably indicates how long ago i enrolled. haha. just that i haven't blogged since then. had my first practical lesson today in the circuit and it wasn't too bad. stalled the car a few times but that's about it. and i STILL need to work on my brakes. tend to jam too hard on the brakes. but i'll improve with practice. haha. looking forward to getting my triangle plate in august or september. :D
