Lunch + Karaoke at Old Airport Road

After my round of tests, in the midst of the semester, my polymates and I headed over to Old Airport Road for lunch and Karaoke at Teo Heng :) It is lunch time and its so difficult to find a seat for so many of us. We took so time to settle down and headed the direction where queues are all to check out what's popular and we chose Kway Chap (:

Look at the $24 Kway Chap for 4 person's share! Snap snap! Everyone is enjoying their food and the awesome Sugar Cane!

Confessions

Here to confess some miscellaneous stuff hoping to get some disturbance outta my mind before I start studying on Brand Management. I still want to sleep tonight. LOL.

I failed my first driving on 24th June.
Test time: 9.15AM. I had a total of 16 points - 2 blind spots unchecked(-8marks), roll back on slope, strong braking. 16 points is sufficient to pass.

But I had one immmediate fail - kena curb. Super pissed because parallel parking was the first tested item in circuit and while aligning my 0.5 distance, my front wheel strike the curb. Tester failed me for unsafe because I striked curb ~~while~~ before parallel parking. Argh.
I failed my second driving on 8th August.
Wrong date - right after ICA project presentations and right before exams.
Wrong time - 9.15AM (again)

My instructor was too confident of my driving (because I failed in circuit) so I only had 3 driving lessons before my 2nd practical driving test - all in circuits. No driving lessons in July at all. She only commented that I drove too fast and my gears were not fast enough - I had to drive safely.

So during the test, I was freaking scared, super nervous. Not enough sleep, not confident enough. While U-turning, of no where, a big van appeared on the first lane with high speed. Heavy vehicles at first lane?!? I was lectured by tester for not being safe (again), that was a total of 8 marks gone.

I still failed..with 30 marks. Other than that heavy 8 marks, all were minus 2 marks, minus 2 marks... For? Insufficient speed, too slow for road lar.. These "slow" driving attempt caused me 12 overs at least.

Best tester probably, but most nervous ever. I had never had such a bad driving experience since my virgin driver experience. Hais.

I haven't booked my 3rd driving test date because the current one is during the first week of last semester. Date and time is really important. No more circuit lessons and driving lessons will help because it is all about confidence.

I felt I really failed my instructor. She is one of the instructors that had one of the highest passing rate recorded in BBDC. Friends recommended that I know of, all passed with first attempt. Hais, my instructor felt it was such a pity that I failed because of carelessness and nervousness.

Gonna work really hard for 3rd driving test, more preparation class prior to test. Good luck to those who are going for driving test! (:

Britney Spears' "Hold it Against Me" Rex X Remix

This remix is freaking awesome! Rex R (http://rexr.tumblr.com/) mirrored the whole music video, I thought it was the original despite the remix because Youtube in iPhone doesn't show original "Hold it Against Me" music video. The remix is way better than the original with the powerful strong bass! Tried playing this remix on Swing's speakers and the feeling is like a shiok only! I'm totally enjoying it with my new Sony earpiece(Bass) by Swing:)
