On and on

Well, a lot has certainly happened since I last posted, which was about one MTM ago:P (The next one is this afternoon) For those of you who don't know, I'm currently working as a volunteer in St Luke's Eldercare at Clementi West, and I'm rather enjoying it. Well, it's also partially because I can't get a job, as no one wants to employ someone who has only 2+ months before NS. The day before yesterday, AES (class 4/7 if I'm not wrong) came over for CIP, and they did a really great job of entertaining the elderly people. They played pass the parcel, which although is a rather common game, managed to hold the attention of the old folks for significantly longer than I succeded at doing when I played zonk with them the other day.
For driving, I'm currently at 3.04 now (the directional change thingy). Most of my friends I met there are already at stage 5 and booked their test already. And I haven't even done DS-DS and AT1.01 & 2. -sigh- I really need to work faster and harder at this. Yesterday, I did crank course, s-course, and reversing. The reversing part was rather screwed up. The instructor brought me out to the centre car park, then chose 2 vacant vertical parking lots, and asked me to reverse into one of them. In the circuit, a crash is denoted by the sound of falling poles, but I would hear the sound of metal crashing if I missed the parking lot here, since the neighbouring car was not too far away. It was raining and the windows were misted up. I opened my window to look at the rear, and then the rain started beating in, so I had to close the window again. Then I released the clutch a little too much, and as such the car reversed too fast, and the instructor had to brake for me.
'O' Level results are out, which means that 'A' Levels are not far away. I won't pretend that I'm not nervous about this. It haunted me on quite a few occasions even in december. But let's just trust God with our results. His will be done and not mine

Jonathan, you sure are a funny person, relating your driving experiences. I did saw some AC pepole too like Jon Low and Ray. Curious, which class were you from in ACJC?
