YEAH!!! PASSED with 16 POINTS!
the journey goes like this :
i reached at about 8.35am... still can't print out the allocation slip yet. so waited for a while then i saw my instructor. so i went to print out the slip. then went to the waiting room. he came shortly after. and he asked me to go warm-up now. it was still early. around 0900. he asked around if can go for warm-up now... so we went for warm-up session at about 0905. went for the circuit first. parallel parking, s-course, vertical parking, directional change and crank course. it all went quite smoothly. then we went outside. all not bad except that some mistakes occurred. like didn't see blind spots. then we went back to the circuit. my instructor told me to do parallel parking and directional change again. haha. looks like it is quite good to have your own instructor as your warm-up instructor. can have more time. then i went up and waited for the tester to come...
was very nervous... one by one the people went off with their testers... felt more intensed. and i saw my previous tester... was quite paiseh to see him again. haha. but i was lucky not to get him again. he was quite fierce. then after about 6 ppl, it was my turn. my first impression of my tester was that he was quite nice. he still allow me to take a look at the test route for a while and he waited for me. so nice. unlike my previous tester who just walked down without waiting for me and telling me to go down with him. well... then i walked down with him to the car. he told me some instructions and asked me to calm down and told me to go if i am ready. totally different from my previous tester where he did not say much.
so i went off. drove quite slowly. the first station was s-course (2). i was very nervous... but cleared it nicely. vertical parking (36) was next. quite okay too. then slope (51). okay too. directional change was next. at first i thought he wanted to go number 9 ( number 9 was the number that killed me previously ), i was so scared... then he said go number 10. heng. but i was still very nervous. went in and did it quite smoothly. heaved a sigh of relief. then crank course (13). okay. parallel parking (49 i think). not bad. after that, we went outside. test route 7. i think it was quite smooth just that i felt that the route was quite long. haha. then we went back to school. when i went back, i stop at the give way sign there ( the one before entering the circuit road ). then when i start to go, the engine stalled!!! argh. super sian. then i restart and go. but there was a motorcycle on my right. i just looked on my left only. wah. the tester said that i didn't check safety. SIAN. at that moment, i was really scared that i will fail due to that. i am not sure how many points will i get from that... aww...
then we went upstairs. i waited in the room... very nervous... prayed that i would pass. and YES! the tester came in and told me my mistakes. actually i wasn't really listening to him, i looked at the paper and i saw "congratulations!" haha. the tester was not very happy about it though... maybe because it was due to the motorcycle incident.
then he told me about going out to drive on the roads... need insurance all that. must put P plate too. then go down to room 1 to watch the video and do the licence.
haha... whatever it is, i just thanked him and went downstairs. i saw my instructor and gave him the paper. he said "heng ah!" lol. i wanted to give him the bookmark i bought for him... but didn't in the end. hmm.
so i watched the video and did my licence. the licence will reach my house within 1 month's time. in the meanwhile, if i needed to and can drive, i must bring the paper which says "you can drive while awaiting your licence". haha.
10 points in circuit and 6 points on the road.
finally...

just had my last driving lesson in the morning... and i strike kerb during directional change again! argh. i can't make any more such mistakes again!!! the rest was quite okay, just that i was a bit afraid of s-course... scared will strike kerb or what. i asked the instructor questions and he was like not concentrating on what i was saying la. he gave me an answer that was totally different from what i am asking. =.= haiz. really MUST pass.
well... this week is quite tiring. many things to be done.
firstly, we had our first lab session on tues. i was not really used to lab work yet, so i was a bit gong. luckily my lab partner was good, she was from poly so she had lots of lab experience. she helped me quite a bit. but, i will be better SOON! had my first tutorial too. my math tutor was quite good and nice. his explanations are not bad. then it was my 113 tutorial. hmm. the tutor spent the 1st 30mins talking about some unrelated stuff. and the whole lesson is only 60mins. he just showed the answer on the screen, didn't explain much. when minghui went to ask him about one question, he said " what's there to explain? " something like that. LOL. so we wanted to change tutorial classes... hope there are still vacancies.
wed and thurs was about the same... all lectures.
fri was okay. after lessons on friday, kaiyuan, michele and i went to collect our t-shirts. i was very shocked at the size of the shirt. heard from kaiyuan and peihong that the shirt that the shopowner showed to them during the making of the shirt was completely different. our shirts are smaller for the girls. i was quite sad about it. hmm. well. so we tried to ask them if we can change the size for the naruto shirt too, but they had already printed the deisgn on the front of the shirt... so... then we went back to ntu. i wanted to go home to put my bag but then didn't want because better to be early than late. i don't want to cause so many problems now that the shirts are a problem too. haiz... then my sis went to call the shop shirt to change the size and everything. in the end, we went home to put our bags because almost everyone are not bringing their bags. we took a cab home so that we will not be late. and it is peak hour! aww... we took the same cab home too. the driver was like not bothering about us. when we asked him if can wait for us downstairs so that we can just put our bags and rushed down. but he didn't answer. hmm... and the total cost was almost $20. heart-ache. then we ate mr bean for our dinner. i had tuna pancake because it was the last few. hmm... okay la. not bad. haha. then waited for pengyan to arrive then went there. he drove us there. yeah. but it was quite squeezy. not much space.
my first time going to ZOUK! haha. quite excited. had a free door gift. a geek specs. haha. quite fun. minghui wore a GEEK costume. super nice and funny. lol. not bad. he wanted to win the ipod shuffle by becoming the best dressed person! haha. actually he could have won la, but they played some games and he lost. this should be the best-dressed competition, not some games competition or what. well... its ok. you will have to wait for the best.
so, we went to have our drinks after that. screwdriver, bloody mary... then went down to the dance floor. the music was quite mundane... no nice songs. just some beats. haha.
then i stayed till around 11.20pm and went home with pengyang, minghui and cheekiat because of my driving lesson today. or i would have stayed with them! my sis told me they went back to hostel to play some games, like mahjong... nice la. i want to play mahjong! haha.
hope i can... ...
hope we can organise mahjong gathering again! :) yeah!
studies are getting more tough as time goes on... jiayou and everything will go on smoothly! that's what i believe! yes!

Just came back from the photoshoot for my brother's graduation!!!
haha, this is my first time taking such a photo. quite nice and fun! we took quite a number of photos, with different poses. some poses were funny. i hope that i can take more of such photoshoots! 1 year's time and 4 year's time! :)
then we went to have our dinner... at 9.40pm. the photoshoot end around 9.15pm. we went to some cafe near our place to have zhi cha! at first, we were deciding whether to go old house's market there or ang mo kio or eastern, chomp chomp... in the end, we decided to go with daddy's wishes. one man took our orders. he introduced us quite a number of dishes... so we had curry fish head, sweet potato leaves, frog legs, hot plate tofu. and many things happened.
the hot plate tofu had no taste. so daddy told the person that the dish had no taste and they re-cooked for us. in the end, it was qutie salty. and they served us kangkong instead of sweet potato leaves. then daddy went to tell the person, we already ate a bit. haha. and he changed to the sweet potato leaves. so we continued eating. the sweet potato leaves was not very nice though. kangkong is better. they should have just give us the kangkong too! well, then ate and talked. my sis realised that the frog legs were cooked differently. we ordered frog legs with garlic and onion but they served us frog legs with chilli. nice. we were talking about whether to tell the person because we had already finished the dish. haha. then we can get a new dish! lol. but don't dare to say out. haha. and the curry fish head had not much fish inside. all vegetables.
ALL the dishes got problem. nice man. never to go there eat again!
haha. but it was a fun dinner anyway!

yeah! i bought my first laptop yesterday! :)
nice nice. lenovo.
at first, i was considering between hp and fujitsu... but we went to harvey norman and the salesperson there advised us to buy asus or lenovo... with better specs.
i was quite indecisive, partly because the cost of a laptop is very expensive and i didn't really know what i need and want. hmm... so after a long day, i made my decision... haha. i think i won't regret it!
i also went for my driving lesson yesterday morning. and at the end of the lesson, i mount kerb at the directional change at number 9! same as that time during the test. also number 9! must really jiayou already! less than 2 weeks to go! :)

HAHA!!!
just came back from camp today! a 5D4N one!
this camp was better than what i expected...
1st day :
we met up at sembawang mrt at 11am. my sis and i were among the last to reach, then we were given naruto's hand band for our group. NARUTO is our group name! one girl by the name of peihong started to talk to us... not bad. at least know somebody... then we went to kopitiam to have our lunch. suddenly ( actually not very sudden la ), we knew about 3 other girls too... was chatting quite happily while eating... then some group leaders (GLs) and other girls came to chat with us... introduction. after that, we set off for the campsite. took bus 882 there. it was quite a fast journey there... then we waited. cleared those administrative stuff like temperature taking, H1N1 measures, collection of camp fee...
went to put our bags at a corner then played some ice-breakers games... crossing the river whereby we have to squeeze everyone(16 ppl) on like 8 chairs then from short to tall. luckily, some of us (the short ones) are already at the end of the line... hehe. then played a game where the Gls have to pick some cards, like A1 and 4 noses. so 4 ppl have to put their noses on the square A1. because the squares are a bit small, it is quite tough to do this. but our OG completed!!!
another game is like 5 ppl have to hide behind a cardboard and move when the person is not looking and stop to hide behind the cardboard when the person is looking. there was one time when 5 of us were moving too fast that we can't stop in time and we broke the wall. the station masters were quite shocked and angry that we broke the wall and they called us together after the rest of the games to give us a lecture. like we can't be too violent or something. well...our GLs supported us, saying that we should play as much as we can!!! YEAH!
another game was that we had 5 mins to know people from the other OG then guess the name. if wrong, the station masters will poke the balloon with flour and the flour will fall on your head and clothes... haha.
the games were not bad, quite creative.
it was banner painting after that. paint our NARUTO banner! then wrote all our names plus GLs names on it... the word "naruto" was in red,orange and yellow. so it was like the colour getting darker in each alphabet. quite nice, although we didn't win the banner painting in the end.
then it was dinner time. our first dinner. i was hoping for a decent meal, but i was wrong. 1 meat, 1 veg. not only for this meal. it was for ALL the meals! same. 1 meat, 1 veg. what a meal! super sian. everyone was like ... eh. haiz.
after dinner, we had this game: meet our SP (secret pal). we were blind-folded and talked to 2 ppl each. a short chat, around 10 mins i think. then went back to our og... the GLs asked us to choose A or B. i chose B because B is going to the same course as me. well...
then we had the initiation games. again, we were blind-folded. i hate being blind-folded. don't know what the GLs are doing to us... played some games and there was this GL who pour a mixture of soy sauce,vinegar and others on me. say i look very clean. then they pour again. i was super angry and i talked back at that person saying " idiot ah! better stop it! " and i pointed my index finger at the person ( i still can see quite a bit ). and this person said " u complain somemore, i pour more. " really a IDIOT fool! give u a F word! FOOLS!
what is this man? i mean, u can play la, but not to that extent! people ask u to stop means stop. we are not 3 year old kid anymore. come on la. then i was super bu shaung after that. and i also cried a bit la. thinking back, i shouldn't even have cried la. i should have just took off my blindfold and shouted at that stupid girl. =.=
haiz. then we played other games with the blindfold on. like tug of war. and i think we were pulling a pillar. quite stupid right, but think think, it was quite fun too. we also played question and answer game. the GLs asked us a question and one person have to answer or else the GL will spray water on the person. haha. and i got this question : who is the president of the US? nice one. so i didn't got sprayed. but in the end, everyone were sprayed. with the hose. haha.
so we played till around 1.45am... some of our GLs came to talk to me, saying that all this are only games, not to pin-point on ppl or what, tell me not to get angry... well.
i was not feeling very well so my sis and i went to bathe first. no one in the toilet. not bad la. haha. wash-up and slept at about 3am. can't really have a nice sleep at all. i was feeling a bit feverish then. keep tossing about in the sleeping bag. i think i only slept about 3 hours?
2nd day :
we woke up at about 7.30am, wash-up and met for breakfast. not sure what breakfast was... had milo. water games was next. we had to form the shortest and longest line. the game was like this : we had to pick a card. lets say i pick the card which had the word "nose". then the next person also have to pick a card. lets say it is finger. so the finger had to put on the nose. it is quite a fun game. :) our group won the shortest line but lost the longest one.
another game was that we had to pick up green beans from the ground and fill up a bottle. we must have 57 beans or less or else we will lose. the filling up of bottle is just a bonus. in the end, we won. both groups had 57 beans. but we filled 3 bottles. yeah.
another one was encyclopedia. the station master will have to say the number of people needed for each round. then she will say " chemistry, applied physics, book cover, mathematics... ... " so we had to arrange ourselves according to the order she said. then stack up according to the order. our group were losing because we didn't really get it right. so our group lost for this game.
tug-of-war too. this game was quite biased because we were playing on a slope. our group were at the top of the slope and the other group were at the lower end. so we lost the 3 rounds of the game. haiz.
we also had fright night on that day. quite scary la. when we were waiting, scary movies were screened. "shutter" and "the unborn" . quite nice movies. but i didn't watch the whole shows because i was too tired. for the fright night, we had to pair up with a guy but our group was short of a guy. so i paired up with a GL. thanks to him or else i will be super frightened. very. we need to look for lightsticks that will lead us to the clues. very scary. i cried a lot too. :( a lot fo white faces and person crawling on the floor trying to catch our legs. thinking of it now, it was not as scary afterall because they were people and we were the last group to 'play' this game so the 'ghosts' were tired too. well... not sure why i cried la. we got the clues quite easily too. after the fright night, we went back to the campsite. slept at around the same time. 3am plus, going to 4am.
3rd day :
woke up at 7.30am. it is AMAZING RACE day. i quite look forward to this game because i think its quite fun and nice because i get to go around singapore and play games. AMK hub, Serangoon, Tampines, Bedok, Iluma, Fort Canning Park, SCAPE, Botanic Gardens, Sunset Way, Chinese Garden, NTU. we had to run a lot, i think around 5km. super tired. we get to eat ice-cream at the DAILY SCOOP too. haha. but it was chilli chocolate. when u eat the first scoop, it is very cold because it is ice-cream, of course. haha. then the chilli taste come out. super hot. played matching games ( like matching the pictures to the shops ), it is not easy because tampines have 3 shopping centres and only 2 people are allowed to play the game. we took the longest time. around 1 hr plus. then running around the field to get letters to form words, counting the number of clocks in a shop in iluma (quite tricky and tough because some of the clocks are small and hidden), running up the pagoda at chinese garden to take photos and answer questions about chinese garden, running around fort canning park (very tiring because need to climb stairs)... went back campsite at around 10 plus... i thought that we could finally get a nice sleep after 2 days of 3 hrs sleep. but i was wrong. they played this cross-dressing game whereby the guy had to make-up and dress like a girl. our group was given "sakura". Menghui dressed up like her! haha. very funny. my sis was the MC to introduce him. quite fun. he won Miss Sexuality. not bad ah. after that, we had a bath then slept around the same time. 3am plus. AGAIN.
4th day :
woke up at the same time and packed our stuff to bring to sentosa. yeah! nice. we had beach games after un-packing our stuff. the chalet room was very small. put all our bags and we had very little space to even stand around. then it was beach games. the first game was we had to pair up with a guy then run to the end of the rope to do jumping jacks. 5 of it. then turn around 10 times. very giddy after that la. built sandcastles after that. have to throw a dice and eat the food shown. then tie our ankles together and walk to the end carrying a spoon with a pin point ball.
another game was muah chee... we had to lie down on the sand then the first person had to row down to the end of the line. the GLs will be spraying water and detergent... i didn't play this game. hmm.
the next game was captain's ball. quite fun but the catch is that the ball can be anything. slippers, pin point ball, beach ball... the first 8 ppl had 5 goals while the next 8ppl had no goals at all. haha. but we still won. because the other group had 0 goals total! LOL. :)
and it was frisby. i got hurt on my nose and it bled. very painful. and i cried of course. sad leh. really very painful. and it is still painful now. i think if it still hurts the next few days, i better go see a doctor to see if it is a fracture or something. haiz. but it is only a game. people will get injuried. then kaiyuan went to buy ice-cream for everyone because he told me that he was very very guilty that he hit me. haha. i didn't really blame him la, just that it is painful only. then i think 3 of the rest bought a slipper for me because mine spolit on the 2nd day of the camp. :) thanks!
then cheering competition! naruto got second! haiz. i think its because we didn't cheer clearly. well... naruto still rocks! :)
and we went to wash-up after that. then it was SP night. i was not really looking forward to it because it feels quite weird and if the SP is ... then it would be quite strange. so the girls went up to the chalet room to wait with the GLs. and the guys went to pick up the girls. fun sia. my sis got hers first. quite zai la. not bad. then the other girls got theirs too. geraldine's one was not bad too. out of all the girls, both of them had the best. mine was quite okay. we got some similiar topics and there were only a few awkard moments. not bad. he was quite a gentlemen. took drinks and food for me. went to the fort canning. the gallery. the food is not very nice. come from the same catering... yucky. then we had some games and watched a video too. the video is not very organised, stop and start over again. so it was quite sian. somemore i had to turn my head to watch the games and video. very tiring. argh. the SP night ended very suddenly. the MC was like saying " okay. this is the end og SP night. " lol. weird. then we exchanged gifts. i didn't wrap mine and i was like very paiseh. haha. exchanged email address and took one photo.
then went back to the chalet. we celebrated weijie's 21st birthday. wah. nice nice. the cake was delicious too. mango cake from secret recipe! :)
had a heart to heart talk after that. talked about our SP, what guys want in girls and what girls want in guys... slept at about 4am plus because was very tired... wanted to like go to the beach to walk walk actually, but most of us were tired already. i slept till around 8am. they wanted to order mcdelivery but they didn't deliver to sentosa. so we packed our bags and went to the pavilion. had prize presentation. we won the most spontaneous grouP!!! and we did a cheer! yeah! the rest of the OGs didn't cheer even though one of them won the cheering competition. haiz. we should have won la. well. they planned it such that all the OG won at least 1 prize. nice nice. the overall winner is simpsons i think.
took photos too!!! then we took the beach tram back. nice. long time didn't take that already. haha.
went mac for lunch. seaweed shaker fries! yeah! :)
then went home and slept.
nice camp!!! nice people!!! yeah! hope university life will be fun! :)
went for bbq at xf's place after that. reached quite early. most of the people haven't reach yet. so we prepared some of the food, start fire... starting bbq-ing. very fun to bbq! haha. met up with some of the guys whom i had never seen for quite a long time. like zhenghui, zhenye, eechow, kyson... nice gathering. we celebrated zhenye and eechow birthday as well... played bridge too! :)
got my timetable too. hmm. no school on monday. then earliest start at 0930 and latest 1630. quite okay i think. 4 day study week. :)
1 more week!!!
