Definitely bring the bolster. You won't regret it. Got friends who copy me bring bolsters over after they know I did. HAHAHA!!

CD player I think not very important la.. think my Ipod purchase was a waste of money. But at least now it is serving as an external harddisk. haha.

shall keep this post short and sweet... cos in a bit of a rush of time for my driving session... lol... having my 12th and 13th session later... let's see e progress so far... 11 sessions and i've covered 17 points in e training record book and 2 test routes out of e 29 points and 10 test routes... hopefully will be able to cover 6 test routes todae... although i think it might be a bit shag... haha... seems like my progress is quite fast... as commented by blandon and my instructor... well, isn't tt gd? muahaha... can save money and time...

have been having problems with engine stalling like 4-5 times in a session for e past few sessions (perhaps more? lol) but improving on it and yup, achieved 0 engine stall in e last session... ok... not 0, but e only engine stall tt happened wasn't really due to my fault... -.- now also more clear about moving off on slope using e half-clutch technique...

actually could have done like 3 test routes last session but was stuck at this u-turn for 10+min... and it was all because it suddenly seemed tt all e learners were learning this particular test route/u-turn at e same time... ~80% of e cars queueing up for e u-turn were L-plates? -.-

before i leave, i gonna set up another post to remind myself e stuff tt i need to bring to e hostel...

received some interesting e-mail from brandon and would like to share with u guys here...

let's start with e easier? one...

How Smart is Your Right Foot?

This is so funny that it will boggle your mind. And you will keep trying
at least 50 more times to see if you can outsmart your foot, but you can't.
1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make
clockwise circles.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air
with your right hand.

Your foot will change direction!

k... first of all i assume tt i did e correct thing but e changing in direction of e foot nv happened... maybe it's cos i did more mind blogging stuff before, so this is no kick to me...

e other more interesting email (ommitted e first part of e mail cos of e pics):

ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST

Count every " F " in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...



HOW MANY ?





WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !



The reasoning behind is further down.


The brain cannot process "OF".



Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.
Three is normal, four is quite rare.

haha... i personally counted 3... although i told myself not to miss out any "F"s... -.-



More Brain Stuff . . .. From Cambridge University.

O lny srmat poelpe can raed tihs.


cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The

interestingly, i could read e text easily... except for e word phaonmneal... was a bit stumped when i saw e word... haha... e mind is really one weird stuff...

one week gone by without any driving lessons... resuming lessons e coming week... suddenly had e urge to play back those classic games of yester days... so i went to download wolfenstein castle 3D... one of e earliest FPS tt existed but despite tt fact, is quite a well done game for it's generation... and it's still e good old graphics, sound and game tt i played a decade ago... e boss's one tough guy to beat... at e 2nd easiest difficulty, i'm having trouble killing him... haha...

another great game of yester day, atomic bomberman, is one which provides endless hours of fun... lol... still can remember e times when we played it during computer lessons back in cchs... simple gameplay but addictive... downloaded e demo but it was very problematic... saying wat software had expired... haiz... really liked e game...

e worms series was another batch of great games... downloaded e worms armageddon demo only to discover tt after playing around with e game settings and team creation, i had time for just 1/10 th of a game before e trial time ran out... wasted my time downloading e demo... -.-

back to driving, i'll be learning u-turn pretty soon... probably on tues or wed... wonder how i'll fare... haha... just finished learning blindspot last lesson...

learnt from brandon tt his friend had also intended to join e NBS camp but was not notified of e foc briefing by e commitee, just like me... turns out tt e NBS foc is full... but e thing tt pissed me off was tt e commitee didn't have e decency to notify those tt had applied for e foc but failed to be part of it... alternatively they could have included, somwhere in e pamphlet, e point tt e situation of e foc reaching max capacity might happen... seriously no decency shown by e commitee...

and i'm starting to wonder if it's in e culture of NTU for such things to happen... 15 more days to start of school and i still do not noe which hall i'm allocated to... e foc mail sent by e student union arrived much later compared to nus (not sure about smu)... basically e effiency of NTU and of anything related to it, up till this moment, can be summarised in one word: sux

anyway, found a NTU webbie which might be useful... http://www.ntu.edu.sg/freshmen/

went to k-box at cineleisure on mon with tty and bra... lol... and i wonder who said tt he didn't like e idea of going to karaoke... only to grumble later tt 3 hours weren't enough... lol... anyway we bought a jug of drink in e 3rd hour and had a 4th hour free...

3 weeks has passed and tty's going back tml nite... yup... but it would be a more hushed down affair... not as many ppl sending him off compared to e other time... november!!! yes... november... come back then during 3 months break and we'll go k-boxing again! lmao... maybe by tt time u'll discover tt bra have a gf liao... lol... O.o

talking rubbish late at night... lololol...

actually i still have some other stuff tt i wanna type, but well... next time...

e lyrics writing for my friends has staled and i'm thinking of just setting them aside for a moment...

bra's finishing his novel pretty soon... chapter 19 of 20 now... gogogo! :)

was nosing around on google earth when i came upon these links: wisma atria live webcam, macritchie reservoir and singapore 360

be warned!!! you are being watched!!! muahahaha... dun forget to wave at e camera next time u go to wisma atria! lol...

went to lau pat sat on sat to celebrate tty's and ju-zi's b'dae... advanced celebration cos ju-zi flying off on her b'dae to do volunteer work in cambodia... a pity tt yixiang wasn't in singapore (or so i think) and couldn't join us... haha... bought elder scrolls lV: oblivion for tty just to discover tt it doesn't run well on his desktop and lappy... -.- yup... usual small gathering...

going for my 5th and 6th driving session later... learnt till braking so far... hmmm... engine stalled a number of times in my 4th session... sianz... need a lot of time to warm up b4 my moving off can be smoooth enough...

coincidences and fate still nv fail to surprise me...

decided to put aside my 5th set of lyrics for e moment for a couple of reasons... and starting work on my 6th set of lyrics first...

started to learn driving 2 days ago... wish tt e accelerator become more retarded... still not used to it's sensitivity... a great diff from e M113 tt i drove in army... anyway... lol... had my 1st engine stall and mount kerb... hahaha... engine stalled cos i forgot to change to gear 1 when moving off... hahaha... and mount kerb cos i nv bring back e steering wheel to normal position fast enough after passing a sharp bend... -.-

yup, so at e end of e 1st session i'm already in e circuit driving in e outermost lane and by e end of e 2nd session i'm doing sharp bends... continuing on tt later cos my sharp bend still not gd... should be doing till traffic junction todae i think... and will be on public road by session 4? lol... then e road users will have 1 more road hazard to worry about ---> me lol...

think i better log off liao... if not late for e session... haha...
