I made a promise that i won't buy any more clothes unless it's for adelaide. So far, I've been sticking to my promise. Feeling good about it. Just now I went to Baleno and bought a polar fleece for winter. It's darn warm and I'm darn happy about it. There won't be any snow in Adelaide (though i wish there were some). Only lots of rain. I can count how many times I've been caught in bad weather even when my small umbrella is simply pointless.

Whole month of October has been used to concentrate fully on my driving. I really hope I can pass the first round. I'm aiming for it anyway. Dad won't let me touch the car until I officially pass. *evil laugh* Of course, sooner the better for me. I'm going to have to teach for 3 1/2 days. Yay! Income! Even though it'll be a full day...literally.

Planning process has been ok so far. Focusing more for the computer. Instead of buying parts of the computer, isn't it about the same price to buy a new one and upgrade some stuff? I don't know. I just want a dvd rom, larger disk space. I need to get a webcam too. As for clothes, I'm left with getting long pants. Waiting for the Christmas sales to get them. Stationary is important. I need my black pens and markers, blue ballpoints, sketchbook, my trusty wooden pencils and sharpener. Contact lense lotion too. And yes, sort out what stuff to bring over. Gotta start drawing up a list. Check it twice. :(

My semi-charmed life

For the past few days, shit happens. My sleepless nights have came back. I just realised that my body adjusts to waking up time pretty easily. I used to wake up about 7.15-7.30 but since me being such a smart alec, I'm waking up at 6.45. My driving sessions this week are at 8.30am.

It affected one of my lessons whereby, I didn't know what I was doing. The instructor told me to do a U-turn but I did a right turn instead. I did a couple of the things later where the instructor was like 'what are you doing!'. Luckily it's the funny instructor, not the one I had today. I had one of my regular instructors. Pretty quiet strict guy whom I dare not ask any question until today. I asked him a 'what if' situation for parking. He shot back by saying what's the point of asking when the main thing is to get my license. Man, I regret even asking him anything.

My mom and i were talking about people who exercises their authority. She went through a similar experience in her course. Her teacher is pretty strict with the students but extremely nice to her staff. It's this kind of situation where you shouldn't fight back with them unless they are being really unreasonable. Cos you need them to get through the different stages of the course to pass or earn something.

I just know that some of the people in the driving centre offers bad customer service. They are behind the counter. They ignore you, throw things on the table, not a single smile. They're showing 'It's a damn torture just working here, let alone serve all these people'. I was lucky enough to have 2 ladies who at least smiled at me.

Lately 2 loved ones have came up to me to expressed how they felt about me leaving. They are already feeling it. I have already passed that part months ago and part of me can't wait to go. I guess i'm alittle thrilled about having to live on my own and all. But my family and zeren are worried that I get bullied over there. I admit i'm not street smart enough. I've been taken advantage of since secondary school and i just take their shit. It's something that i have to work on.

Anyway, we've already started planning for next year. Bleah...so much things to consider.

Ah! What is wrong with my legs? From 1 bruise to 7 on my knees. Now 3 of them has expanded and joined up together. I don't remember banging into anything but bruises just keeping popping up. I don't understand why i'm getting them. Impossible to have gotten them while I was asleep. Now my right knee has swollen up, causing me to limp. *growl* Hope it's not what my mom said, it's the ghost.

Someone has been growing nice fur. Fievel's been sleeping in the air con room since his bro passed away and now his fur is simply beautiful. Soft and now he's putting on weight. hehe.

Hope a certain storm blows over soon. *cross fingers*

I was looking through the classifieds this morning. Couldn't resist sharing with you guys.



This has got to be one of my favourite job ads. If you're interested, feel free to apply.

I wish I had a more stable job if not I wouldn't be so frustrated. Too many things going on and I'm about to explode. Maybe I shouldn't be taking any more commitments. I want to say NO to everybody and escape. No money for a quick getaway. I would rather be backstabbed than work with backstabbers! I dread it when my phone rings! I wished I could drop everything and leave for adelaide right now!!

Got Caught Again!

I'm caught in the middle again!! My job as a trainer has been put on hold since the kids are having their exams = no income for October onwards. But yesterday I received a message from a lady from my company. Queenstown is looking for trainers for the last week of October for the pri 6s. Bingo! But...

Being such a dumb smart alec, I went to book all my driving lessons in the morning. *smacks head real hard* The classes starts from 8-12.30am. Just perfect especially it's really hard to change the dates or timings for driving from SSDC. Right now I'm faithfully logging in everyday (with hope) I'll be able to switch the timings to the afternoon.

I went for my lesson this morning and checked out the first practical test is between 7-9 Nov. I'm more determined to finish all my lessons before then. I need my license to get to Aus!! Apparently ICs are redundant there or in most countries. People usually check driver's license. So it's an asset that I need to get. My dad told me that driving is more important and if I have to give up teaching, I gotta. This sucks. I just hope tomorrow's meeting for another freelance job comes through. Yes, I need to cash. The money meant for expenses in Australia has gone into driving. Ugh!

Anyway, I'm loving the new car. It's much higher and quite close to a 4 wheel drive. I love those! Plus it's easier to maintain for my dad. Since me and my sis are going, this is perfect for him. And I'm also aiming to get the license to drive it before I leave. *evil laugh*

I really admire those people who get to see their boyfriends/girlfriends anytime of the week. After talking to my friend, I didn't realised it. I only get to see Zeren once a week. Well, thinking of it as training for the long-term? Bleah. Whatever it is about time. I know I'm really bad at time management. Look at what I did in the case above. Treasure time people.
