My workplace is moving from Queenstown in Changi in August. If I did not get my own transport before then and if my application for the staff quarters in Changi is rejected, 1/6 of my life will be spend travelling to and fro the workplace.
This was the reason why I had squeezed in 4 driving lessons per week even though it is damn fucking tiring.
Unfortunately though, I did not know that I have to pass my Final theory test first before I can even book my practical test. I really do hate my stupidity sometimes.
So my Final theory test was booked for the 8th May and that was when I found out that I have to pass the Final theory evaluation test before I can even attempt the final theory test.
And before I can take the practical test, I have to pass through Basic theory lessons 1.01, 1.02 and Final theory lessons 1.01, 1.02.
In short, it is damn troublesome.
However, I begin to see why there was a need for the evaluation when I failed it today :(
I had went for the evaluation confidently after spending 30 minutes browsing through the advance theory book.
After all, I had went through 18 practical driving lessons and I should know enough about driving to pass some stupid theory test right?
Sadly though I got only 39 out of 50, 6 marks short of the passing rate.
That is why I am going back to BBDC at 8am tomorrow.
The schedule for tomorrow.
8am - 940am : Final Theory Lesson 1.02
950am - 1130 am: Final Theory Lesson 1.01
1135am - 1230pm : Final Theory Practice
1230 - 1305 : Final Theory Evaluation -again-
As you can see, I will be well prepared this time s o bring it on stupid theory tests.
I am not afraid.
Really... :(
==================================================================
Regarding the issue about getting my own transport, I had deliberated long and hard between a brand new car or a 2nd hand car.
I am still considering whether I want to buy a car, but if I really went for it, I am now leaning more towards buying a brand new car.
This is partly due to the price drop in COE which makes new car more affordable and partly due to some comments by Da Jie.
1-2 weeks ago, it was around 1720pm and I had just finished my after work jog and a workout session at the state of the art gym. I was checking my handphone for any miss calls or messages when I saw this miscall from Da Jie.
For those of you who don't know, Da Jie only ever calls me in the rare event that she lacks enough people to play Mahjung.
Now, after Weijie and gang ruthlessly ended my 7 streak winning at Mahjung, I seemed to be in a feng du bi shu mode. That is, I am now losing every Mahjung game that I played.
So, I half-heartedly send back an sms to Da Jie and this is how the conversation went.
Me : Eh You called ah
Da Jie : Ya Lar.. Now den u call reply... chey
Me : Haha I cannot play mj
Me : No money to lose
Da Jie : Y?
Da Jie : Eh... Where is ur 10k
Me : Duhz nxt year den get la... U want to contribute to my honda civic fund?
Da Jie : Siao. Dun buy 2nd hand, later u need more fund to repair...
Me : Haha den can lend me 20k? Coz first hand thirty thousand more exp
Da Jie : U go buy from parallel importer la... Dun need so much cash..
Me : Haiz nvm let me get license first den u buy car i help u drive?
Me : Eh I go shower le nxt time got mj call earlier kay? Nowadays before elven I slp le
Da Jie : Wei.. I know y u never get selected for sq interview ler. Cos u not gay. I jus did a flt wif a junior steward. His face alot of pimples. Even andy, my bf oso wondering how come he steward. He is gay. So we all believe tat's how he got into sq. U buy car guan wo she mer shi??
Me : Lolz den I muz go practice my gayness le I buy car can um.... Chauffeur ur brother arnd ah den can go ur hse help u water plants also
Da Jie : Siao.. Tos plants live or die non of my business.. chauffeur my bro? Dun waste time lar. He can use his legs to walk anywhere for all he wan. Take bus oso too much for him lor.
Side Note: Zda... don't be disheartened that your sis is so evil... My sis also like tat...
Me : kns u r a evil sister lucky I not ur brother
Da Jie : Chey!! 10 thousand ppl q-ing to be my bro lor..
Me : Wahz got so many stupid people in the world ah.... ask each of them contribute 3 dollars to my honda civic fund den i can buy car le
Da Jie : Siao.. U think anyone oso can b my bro meh? U buying new car ar?
Me : Haha yeah horz want to be ur bro muz have high tolerance level no wonder zda always look so tired or sad.. And no la new car I can only afford picanto and tat car not cool at all
Da Jie : Dunno y my bf advise u to get 2nd hand car...
Da Jie : Zda appear sad cos I'm not ard him... He misses me..
Me : Haha he more clever bahz
Da Jie : Stupid lor... 2nd hand smelly.
Me : Um... Actually only when u not arnd he looks happy... U never notice mehz everytime he play mj wif u either is want to slp or want to cry like tat
Da Jie : No lor... I think mayb he gan dong tat's y he look as tho he wan to cry.. he very silly..
Me : Eh and 2nd hand car where got smelly... only rich people think like tat
Da Jie : Smelly.. The last owner got farted in the car before..
Me : Nvm I smell nice so can cover the fart smell
Da Jie : I think ur nose got some prob.. If this is the case mayb getting old car is not a prob for u..
Me : pui
So that is why I am aiming for either a brand new Hyundai Avante or the new Kia Cerato Forte instead of the 2nd hand Honda Civic if I am buying a car.
For now, whenever I think of 2nd cars, I am haunted by the images of the green tendrils of smoke that are the lingering farts of their previous owner...
Anyone knows if I can sue for psychological scarring?
More on Da Jie though...
For people who have watched the movie, the Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
I have not watched that movie personally but I know its about someone who gets younger as he ages.
The same kinda holds true for Da Jie also...
As most of us gets progressively more matured as we aged, Da Jie seemed to get... how shall I say it? More um...
This is evident from the sms that was sent from Zda's hand phone the day after we had the 2nd hand car conversation.
Zda : My sis is e best. I love her.
Me : wtf
Zda : U idiot
Me : Lol dajie u very old le can be matured abit and stop using zda phone or not?
Zda : U stupid donkey
Then I decided to humor Da Jie by sending her this sms.
Me to Dajie : Hey dajie ur right! ur brother really loves u! He juz sent me a msg to tell me sia
Da Jie : See I told u :)
Me : Lol u r so lucky sia... Ur so weird yet ur siblings love u
Da Jie : pui
I think that when Da Jie gets married and have children, Andy being the only matured parental figure around, might be in for a hard time.
And seeing as how Da Jie's maturity seems to decrease with age, the children could end up being more matured than the mother =.=
P.S. As usual, the entry contains a lot of crap from me and anyone who might take offense from it should treat this post as nonsensical ramblings.
