Off to China tmr!

Yes, I will be off to China tomorrow early morning.
Intending to catch the first train and see how it goes! :)
Will be back by Sat night....

I passed basic theory!

Hee, yes... A bit unexpected, I passed my basic theory on my first attempt today.
Well, all along I was never confident in any tests or exams, especially MCQs.. I dunno why, never seem to get high marks in the first place, But I did today! :)

However, things were not that smooth. Those who have taken basic theory for driving will know when you enter the room with your identity card, the examiner will point you to your allocated seat. It so happened that I was allocated a seat along the row, just next to the door. 10 mins into the test, I was already more than 1/2 way done... 27 out of 50 questions done, when suddenly the system went haywire... Every one of us in that row, 6 in fact.. All the systems started hanging... And yes, when I meant hang, it means the system is not responding at all.

The examiners were asked to check and they too have no idea what's going on. From 2 examiners to 4, all of them had no idea. And becoz it was a Sat, I think they had a hard time reaching NCS for advice. When they finally got to them, request of reboots of the row of machines were called upon. However, after the reboot, there was no luck... ended sitting there for more than 30 mins juz to get the systems working again. :\

Luckily, the systems were able to resume to the last questions we attempted and we can continue from there. No need to start right from beginning again. I took less than 15 mins after that to complete and got 93%, hahaha... And I got my PDL already. Final theory has been booked for end Sept. :\ Hopefully it's not as screwy as today...

Today is the start of....

Today is the start of 1 week countdown...
Praying that these few days will go by faster for next week to arrive! :)

I passed my BTE today!

Hee, finally at today's 2nd attempt, I passed my BTE! :)
Waiting to take the Basic Theory test on 24 Jul, next Sat...
I WILL PASS :P

Gastric flu seems to be "attacking" me again...

I think the gastric flu visited me again last nite...
Was feeling ok for 2 hours after dinner but after 2 hours, my tummy started churning and "drumming" inside and I puked badly again. Luckily Mum was around that time... But I felt so sick after that... Took some medication and went to bed really early.

Luckily, I feel better and ok today. Had to go NTUC to prepare some stuffs for an overseas trip this month end...

Hopefully, the vomiting and LS dun "visit" me again. :(

Gastric flu~ :(

What a yucky day yesterday! :(
I went for lunch and right after lunch, when riding the escalator, my stomach felt really sick and I puked so damn much at the base of the escalator. I think those near me were so shocked... Really dun mean to create the mess but I din have time to run to the other end of CWP for toilets to puke in.

After vomiting, I still felt really sick and giddy for a few mins. Was searching my pouch for some tissues but cannot find.. Luckily, a kind lady who walked by passed me some tissues, really life-saving for that moment... And my colleague who went to lunch with me was someplace else buying something... Felt so lost and giddy then. Glad that I did not pass out. :P

I felt so much better after vomiting and when the giddiness subside, I called my colleague to inform we'll be meeting later as I need to go toilet to clear up the mess on my legs. Took me almost 2 hours for lunch today, sigh... Went to the doc after I got back to office. Was really glad for the first time, we have bathrooms in the building and I can washed my legs and shoes... Else gotta stick with the smell and stickiness till I reach home...

Doc confirmed it, I had GASTRIC FLU! Gosh... So sucky...
Felt so much better today... It was really bad yesterday, though I only puke 2 times, but the diarrhea was really bad, especially after taking some porridge for dinner... And fever came along too... Am so glad I feel much better today. :)

P.S: Thanks Lynn mei for sms-ing me! Hee, a bit unexpected. :) Felt so much better already! Muacks...

And oh, I failed my BTE by 2 questions... so gotta retake it next week again. Pray for me that I'd pass!

Congrats to Bobby & Shena! :)

Congrats to Bobby and Shena who got engaged today in Fo Guang Shan @ Punggol.
I knew Bobby back since secondary 1 from my CCA - Military Band and it was a coincidence we were in the same CCA in Ngee Ann Poly once again. :)

It was actually really a coincidence for me to join Buddhist Society back then, thanks to my sec skool best fren Corina. Else, I think I'd have joined something else coz all along I felt I'm not a religious person. :P And so, Bobby was once again my senior in NPBS. :) He's 6 years older than me, so I really din expect us to be pretty close.. LOL...

But anyway, it was really nice and sweet to see him and Shena getting ROMed today! Nice chance to meetup with my other seniors from NPBS (some whom I contact often) as well as my long lost frens from AESMB (Military Band). I remembered I attended Ruoyin's wedding few years back and now she has a really pretty and lovely baby girl! :)

Here are some photos to share, which were taken at Fo Guang Shan today:-

After the event, had a short but nice evening! Simple & nice dinner plus a very nice walk along the reservoir! :D

I'm back!

Now then I realised, it's just a PRACTICE, as the term states.
There were a total of 4 papers with 70 questions each... Not too bad, at least it gives me an idea of what kind of questions are expected. And I failed 3 of them and passed 1, with a very short marginal... :(

Next Monday, I'd be going for the BTE (Basic Theory Evaluation), can I pass? Haha... 90 marks leh...

Wat will it be like?

I'd be going for my BTP (Basic Theory Practice) at BBDC tomorrow after work... Wonder what it'd be like? Pretty nervous if you ask me... hahaha... :P

Last day of gym

I went for my last session of gym at Contour's Express in Teck Whye this afternoon.
So fast, 1 year has already past and though I din really feel a lot of weight loss, but I do feel healthier and my muscles building up, esp on the arms and legs! I decided not to continue with the membership due to 2 main reasons - not a very convenient place to go and also since I'm going to start driving soon, I might not be able to go 3 days a week for gym...

I'm actually feeling really really tired today and almost couldn't make it for the gym. The reason is because I got a bit emotional yesterday after someone told me something that touched me deeply somehow. Though it was really nothing much, but it meant a lot to me. :)

Plus, after work yesterday, I went to gym and then met up with Maeve for dinner and KBox at Clementi. We K all the way from 8pm to 2am and I was half dead by then. We were told that we can have the room to 12mn, but I guess not many people went to K last night so we can have the room till 3am when it closes. We were so tired, we left before 2am. Really getting old. Just 2-3 years back I can K with Apple they all on a weekly basis on every Sunday from 7pm to 3am and still go to work on Monday morning without issues. Now, I can't... I slept till 10am this morning and still feel so tired.

However, it was really nice to be able to catchup with Maeve again and we have some ideas for Charlina before she migrates to Abu Dhabi with her hubby... :) And oh, after some find, finally got my mum an ideal backpack which she's been looking for. The old one she had, I got it for her from Taiwan years ago and it's dismantling. Glad that she likes the one I got for her last nite b4 meeting Maeve.

It's now 11.12pm and I need my bed badly!!!
Good nite everyone~
