Alarm Failure

Woke up late for the 3rd consecutive day today. Well, at least I'm vindicated...it wasn't me who got up to switch off the alarm; the alarm didn't go off at all. My dad said he didn't hear the alarm go off. It's a good thing I told him I needed to be up early today for class and he woke me.

Went to class, experienced another inefficiency in the SIM system. The other time I was forced to sit on the bloody floor for the first time in 3 years. Now, not enough notes. ZZZ. John Chard is a kindly old man who's been off teaching for a while now, and often loses his train of thought while teaching. Still, his lesson wasn't without its merits, even if you had to strain your ears hard to catch him mumbling as he trailed off each sentence.

Kwen let me drive his car today. Well...not his car in the strictest sense since his car was being used by his sister...it was his dad's Camry. A tad bigger than what I'm normally used to, and the moment I tried to get out of the parking lot, I had the rear wheel mount the kerb... >_< Other than that, the drive to and fro lunch was uneventful, with me pulling off my first parallel and vertical parking in an unsimulated environment without incident. Vertical a bit slanted...but nvm lah wahaha.

Met her for dinner (her lunch + dinner) at Cafe Cartel. Got 1/2 wet on the way there though..literally...since the umbrella was only large enough to shelter her and half of my fat arse. I sent her off for her tuition, bumping into the Fool on the way, and headed off to mum's place. Spent roughly an hour there, since the rain meant I had to resort to taking public transport (zzzzz...was forced to top up $10 into my ez-link) which made a 5 minute journey a 30 minute one. Now if the government bothered to make the public transport system more efficient, I wouldn't be riding a bike would I?

Rushed back to fetch her from tuition, taking the wrong train in the process...after more than 5 years of private transport...I've turned into a total noob at this.

Picked her up, and she brought me to Sheng Siong to find......WANG WANG!!!! WANG WANG PAO PAO GUO DONG!!! *sings* zhen de hui shen qi wor....*yum* I heart Wangwang....and I heart my lovely cutesy sweetheart even more!!! WAHAHAHA. She knew I liked the drink and brought me in there just to look for it. So cute!!! SO SWEET!!! WAHAHAHAHA I LUB LUB HER!!! LUB LUB HER A LOT! MUACK!

Lugging back 12 cans plus 3 bottles while racing her up the stairs did me in though...and I'm dead beat now. Will be going to get the goods ICA so cruelly detained for a week from me...and convince them that there are no bombs or Mas Selamats hiding in there. Turning in...nights folks :)

Found Lacking

What ever possessed me to start blogging? I've kept a diary ever since I was in primary school, and up till now, 15 years later, it's not even half filled. And now, whenever she asks me to update my blog, I wonder where I ever found that drive to blog so consistently every single day for the better part of a year...and I wonder how to regain that motivation that has brought me so far, and then left me hanging when it deserted me.

It's 25 days till my marketing paper. Another 7 days till my micro exams. 2 weeks till my MA and OT papers. And the motivation to mug has been eluding me thus far. I wonder if I made the mistake of attempting to cover too many bases, settle too much stuff this semester, and if that is the reason I'm feeling so drained now. Even if I keep telling myself that I merely have to strive on for another one month or so and everything will be over, my mind does not get going. There are simply too many things swirling about inside to have anything accomplished.

A lot has happened since the last time I updated my blog. For one, I'm finally free of the money sucking organisation that is BBDC. $1200 for my 2B, $300 for my 2A, $350 for my class 2, $1700 for my class 3...$3350 total damage. Some of the lessons were a total waste of time and money; the mandatory auto car lessons being the pinnacle of such examples. Hopefully, I'll never have to go back there again. One of the niggling worries about clearing my class 3 so soon is that I may forget the little details about driving if I do not get constant practice under my belt. I reckon all I need is a year or so, and after that, I'll be able to operate a manual car even after a long layoff. And this is just one issue that I shouldn't be dwelling on, with the exams looming...on whether to get a cheap car just for the practice or not. Gaah.

She's leaving me soon. After the exams are over, the next time I'll get to hold her in my arms will be on the eve of the new year. Seeing as to how I missed my elder brother when he went to Australia, I wonder how it'd be like without her, without her sweet smile and comforting embraces. Missing her, worrying about her welfare, wondering what she's doing would probably occupy my mind most of the time..heck, it's already happening now, another niggling issue that's keeping me from focusing on what's at hand.

I guess I started on my bike mods a tad too early. M4 headers are up, PC3, Gilles titanium rearsets, integrated rear tail and signal lights, chromed flushmount signals, Gilles clipons, and the Ohlins fork and rear sus plus galfer wavy rotors which are incoming...and the slidestops and stacks that are proving a biatch to procure. I probably should have waited till my exams were over. I simply do not have the luxury of time to do this now. As it is, I do have pictures of the mods done, and once I have the time and motivation, I'll blog about Project Postman Eating R6.

I really should get down to work now...
