haha..
learnt lots of new things today..
when i was doin stock update in the afternoon, christ suddenly knocked on my table and asked me to follow him..
den i and joe followed him to the warehouse or so called "store"..
he asked me dun always sit in front of the comp..
once in a while shld go and walk walk..
haha..
den he teach me how to stock take..

den he allow joe to go back to his work..
haha..
den he started asking me if i know how to cook..
i tell him i onli know how to fry eggs..

cant catch wats he sayin..
and can give me a cert if i learn cooking from him..
haha..
so i say " u cook ah?"

and realised tt he's the highest rank..

but he's also a little like mr wong..
haha..
he's a nice person when he's nt serious,
cos he will joke around..

u wun dare or try to provoke him de..
nonetheless, we had a fun time at the store..
he tells me tt its always good to learn new things,
cos u will always gain from it and nv stand to lose out..
i feel that he exposes me to a lot of new stuff and teaches me lots of things..
he also like to bring me round the workplace and c how the people work there..
its realli fun moving round the workplace..
feel like a CEO surveying the workers..
haha..

haha..
in the end, he oso bought sausage muffin for us..
den we rotted at mac till bout 9.45..
haha..
toked practically bout everything under the sun..

haha..
all of us get along real well..
we even have IQ qns and same real lame topics..
haha..
the guys r realli crappy..
haha..
after tt i went to the driving centre le..

realli "memorable" sia..
commit mistakes which i dun normally do..
haha..
firstly, i had another instructor again..
MY 8TH INSTRUCTOR!
but he was good lah..
he pointed out my mistakes, noted it down and even taught me to correct it...
den he agreed to take the better 1 of the 2..
my 1st assessment i gt 28,
whereas the 2nd assessment i got 18,
which was borderline pass,
but with 2 IMMEDIATE FAILURES!
ARGH!
now i realli tin it's diff for me to pass the prac test le..
i'm still not well prepared to handle the roads on my own..
much less ensure the safety of others..
mostly die in the areas of blind spots, checking of mirrors and lane changing...
ARGH!
i nv seems to clear these areas de..
hai yo..
but the circuit was slightly better than the road..
but somehow mount the curb when i turned out from the ramp,
and i didnt manage to stop at the stop line when entering into the centre..
the rest was ok..
112 even asked me for my driving plans from now till aug..
he even gave me his professional advice..
haha..
otherwise he will tell me "good luck"..
haha..
will follow it de..
cos i realli wan to clear my driving in 1 shot..
den he even promised me nt to record down my major mistakes into the PDA, my learning booklet and the paper,
cos he says he know that i know where my mistakes were,
and what i am planning to do..
thank you 112..
after lesson, met bel and lunched at pizza hut AGAIN..
never ever try the kiwi lemon frizzy drink..
haha..
it tastes like antibiotics..
haha..
after tt, we shopped round novena and town..

work in the morning today..
as lipton tea sample distributor..
haha..
stationed at yishun..
realised tt giving out leaflets can oso be tiring..
haha..
luckily the fellow distributors helped me out..
otherwise i cant fin my job..
worked from 7 to 9..
den the agent suddenly appeared to give us more stock to distribute..
1 box per person lah..
haha..
so MUCH..
after tt, went to bel's house..
nt actually went into her house but we stayed near the swimming pool..
haha..
chatted there.. :]
den after tt we headed to the driving centre together..
haha..
we were late lah..
the moment we reached the carpark, all the cars started turning out le..
luckily 111 saw me..
haha..
den he drove the car towards me..
was so blur today lah..
no major mistakes made today..
haha..
managed to clear the S course,
but i tin its purely luck de..
did parallel, vertical parking and directional change..
ok lah..
no knocking or touching of poles or curbs..
just tt a little careless when doin right turns..
but i tin nt entirely my fault leh..
i saw the green arrow for me to turn right,
so i wanted to turn lor..
but gt 1 car drive so fast..
111 say better stop cos the car might nt give way..
den when i turn right into the side road,
i crossed over the line..
and he say tt is immediate failure cos cut into other ppl lanes..
wah..!
realli mus adjust well before turning in..
more diff than shooting lah..
haha..
today a lot of test cars in the driving centre..
haha..
gt 1 car in the lane for left turns only but yet the car is signalling right..
so weird lah..
den there was another test car on the road which failed to give way to traffic..
in the end, it headed back to the centre..
den i wonder, is it game over liao?
haha..
den i was waiting to turn right..
i jus stopped there cos i tot the car was doin vertical parking..
but 111 in turn ask me y i stop there..
den when i looked over, its jus a straight road..
so DIAO -_-'''..
realli dreaming la..
den he say he long time no test me emergency brake le..
den i HUH to him..
haha..
he knew i was weak in tt la..
den he did 3 times..
the 1st time was rather unexpected..
the 2nd time, when i saw his hand stretch forward, i stepped the brake immediately le
but he say the vehicle still moved a little..
the 3rd time was the nice one..
haha..
up to his expectation..
jammed so hard tt even my bag fell..
haha..
den he say everytime he see me, he will ask me to do emergency brake cos he says i am weak in tt..
haha..
den at the end of the lesson, he will always say the same thing to me..
1. forget to check some blind spots.
2. abrupt lane changing.
3. careful when doin right turns.
4. emergency brake nt fast enough.
5. s course mus rmb to turn back.
haha..
the prob is i know where i'm weak at but i jus dunno how to correct..
guess i need more practice ba..
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT :DLabels: 1 more sub to completion.. :] but i will miss the days tt i learn driving..

Today is my 18th driving lesson le..
haha..
gt 111 to teach me today..
realise tt different instructors teach different things on the same sub..
last wk 132 taught me to accelerate hard and brake hard on the ramp,
whereas 111 taught me to go over it gently and then brake..
haha..
he was so shocked when i accelerate and brake so hard..
haha..
i kept shocking him de..
haah.. :]
but today's drive was ok.. :p
after doin a few times on the ramp, we went out to the road le..
road still the BEST..
haha..
no major mistakes made..
jus tt didnt do necessary overtaking..
i obviously wasnt alert la..
haha..
den we saw a lizard like creature on the road..
it looks disgusting lah..
initially it was onli wounded..
but after tt a car went over it and it was gone...
111 was initially thinking of carryin the creature to the side of the road so tt cars will nt go over it but it was too late le..
after tt, we kept talkin bout lizard like creatures and snake..
haha..
he said he was chased by a "lizard" before..
haha..
so weird lah..
obviously he provoked it first den after tt it started chasing him..
haha..
den he oso say tt there was once a female student he taught at night,
brought a lizard like creature into the car..
she put it in front of her and 111 tot that it was a toy...
he wanted to touch it den it almost bite him..
haha..
den he say the creature will walk round the car..
the student even put it on her shoulder lah..
haha..
after tt she kept it in her bag le..
haha..
den obviously my instructor wasnt concentrating on the road..
instead he kept looking at the back seat for the "pet"..
jus in case it gets out his range..
haha..
really weird student sia..
even bring the "pet" to learn driving..
haha..
den when he was in army,
his army boys caught a chameleon and painted it..
in the end it has white and red stripes throughout..
haha..
and it wasnt able to change its colour no matter where it goes..
the boys realli bad lah..
even animals oso wan to play..
hai..
goin for an interview later...
still need to wear formal..
hope i dun embarrass myself later..
haha..
looks like its goin to rain again le..
pls dun rain lah..
at least wait for me to get to my destination lah.. :/

Today is my 17th driving lesson le..
haha..
didnt manage to clear 1 sub today.. :[
did reacting to road hazards today..
haha..
nt veri technical la..
but reactions mus be fast..
have ramp training..
mus accelerate hard to get the vehicle onto the ramp
and at the same time mus brake hard
to prevent knocking down of the pole which was situated in the middle of the platform..
haha..
once knock down the pole den immediate failure le..
luckily i didnt knock dwn the pole,
but instructor says tt i didnt brake fast enuf..
I JUST DUN LIKE TO JAM HARD ON THE BRAKE!!
I DUN LIKE THE FEELING OF HAVING TO MOVE FORWARD AND THEN KNOCKING BACK TO THE SEAT..!
ARGH...!
emergency brake cannot make it..
even the ramp training oso cannot make it..
haiz..
den he explained to me y we mus learn this..
cos he say some people might get distracted and step on the wrong pedal..
and indeed i stepped the wrong one lor..
so pai sei lah..
i wanted to brake but ended up accelerating..
so blur of me lah..
shld shake myself awake lah..
had another instructor AGAIN..
he's my 7th instructor le..
haha..
went onto the road again..
keep asking me to accelerate...
cos he say the speed limit is 70,
so can go till tt speed..
but other instructor always ask me to slow down even when i'm onli 60..
realli dunno which one the right one lor..
hai..
last lesson for this wk le..
hopefully nxt wk will be better ba..
haha..
cos bel will also be learning together with me..
haha..
finally can "drive" together with her le..
wait so long le..
haha..
btw, i might be working nxt wk..

Woohoo..
Today is my 16th driving lesson le..
haha.. :]
starting of stage 3 le..
did vertical parking today..
haha..

which means its a little abstract for me..
and i'm rather slow to absorb everything tt the instructor teach..
dunno y..
haha..
i jus dun seems to have confident when i reverse the car..
haha.. :D
maybe becos i cant get to c the very back of the car ba..
haha..
but luckily no mounting or striking of curbs..
haha..
which is smt i'm proud of le..
haha..
hopefully can clear stage 3 and 4 soon ba..
and an earlier prac test date PLS appear..
i dun wan to wait till aug to take my TP..
its far too long le lah..
but the tin is even if i get the license fast,
there's still no car for me to drive..
haha..
and nobody will wan to sit my car de..
my sis declare tt le..
haha..
so it might nt be a bad thing afterall for the TP to be late..

Today is my 15th driving lesson..
wasnt realli in tip top condition today.. :[
lack of slp..
woke up at 6.30 today..
it was like a dream came true when i saw the vehicle no 111 beside my name..
was realli realli happpy that it was FINALLY him today..
but things dun go tt smoothly today.. :(
hai..
firstly we did 3 pt turns..
went to motorola building to do it cos there's a dead end there..
recapped to me how to do the 3 pt turn..
better note it here jus in case i forget..
1. stop at curbside and signal right
2. check rear and front mirrors and blind spots for obstruction
3. full lock to the right and stop when the front right type almost touches the curb
4. change to reverse gear
5. reverse slowly and full lock to the left
6.stop when it almost hit any obstruction
7. change to drive gear
8. steer the wheel back to the right
9. JOB DONE..!
haha..
nxt we did emergency brake..
he say i was slow lah..
hai yo..
i was jus too frightened to react fast..
he would hit the place which was jus beside the air con
and would expect me to step hard on the brake..
everytime he hit it, it would shock me
den after out of the shock le den i will step on the brake..
he oso say tt he hit until his hand pain le but yet i still cant stop immediately..
*sobs*
its nt like i didnt brake lah..
its just tt my response nt fast mah..
den when he wanted to adjust the air con,
i ALMOST emergency brake cos i saw his hand stretching out..
but luckily I DIDNT..
haha..
i jus release the accelerator onli..
den he oso say if cant emergency brake immediately will have IMMEDIATE FAILURE lor..
i dun wan to fail the test jus becos i cant brake fast...
he oso say gt some candidates emergency braked when the tester wanted to pick the pen tt he drop..
its realli nerve wrecking lah..
can understand them..
hai yo..
nt onli do we have to observe the roads, vehicles and pedestrians,
we oso have to take note of the instructor...
after tt, we did a little on left, right and U turns..
nt so bad lah..
just tt i cant turn fast enough for the U turns
den will end up out of the lane..
den at a particular U turn,
i checked my blind spot le,
but somehow a cyclist jus dashed out from behind lah..
almost banged into him lor..
luckily the instructor braked me lah..
hai..
we oso did lane changing..
pointed out alot of my mistakes..
firstly if wan to change lane, mus signal..
ONLY cancel signal when in the lane..
slow down first..
accelerate only when moving into lane..
den mus change lane smoothly..
NO ABRUPT LANE CHANGING..
mus turn in smoothly..
soon, we went back to the sch le..
did the slope..
still ok lah just tt i shldnt try to accelerate when the vehicle wasnt near the stop line...
shld just remain as it is..
oso did the S and crank course..
no mounting of curbs,
frm wat i am aware of..
still can reverse..
and no hitting of curbs..
hai..
tts about it for today le...
made so MANY MANY mistakes..
nxt lesson is on wed and i will be doin on vertical parking..
mus wish me luck sia..
cos i tin i will die at this sub de..
no confidence in myself..
especially reversing and parking..
and especially when i didnt touch the car at all for 6 DAYS..
even though he passed me for this test,
i feel tt i shldnt pass..
still didnt perform up to standard...
if on my test, i performed like wat i did for today..
den i can just go home le..
even i cant pass myself,
how to allow others to pass me..
did the WORST for today..
the worst out of the 15 lessons..
so lousy tt even i am ashamed of it lah..
normally it wasnt like tt de..
only when 111 was teaching den will like de..
2nd time underperformed when 111 took me..
nt tt its his fault..
its jus tt when i dun sleep well, den will have tis type of results..
hai..
blame no one except me..
WILL BUCK UP DE.. :]
JIA YOU JIA YOU JIA YOU..Labels: DREADFUL lesson.. all my fault.. :[

Left brain dominant individuals are more orderly, literal, articulate, and to the point. They are good at understanding directions and anything that is explicit and logical. They can have trouble comprehending emotions and abstract concepts, they can feel lost when things are not clear, doubting anything that is not stated and proven.
Right brain dominant individuals are more visual and intuitive. They are better at summarizing multiple points, picking up on what's not said, visualizing things, and making things up. They can lack attention to detail, directness, organization, and the ability to explain their ideas verbally, leaving them unable to communicate effectively.
Overall you appear to be Left Brain DominantLabels: so true..
