it's already day 4 of the one week break... nothing much except went to surry hills with yochi and the rest to meet our industry partner for OTTP, and then after met up with amelia and karen for dinner and karaoke... and as usual, they were late, and poor andrea had to hang around market city, and i forgot to bring my jacket... ate my fav spicy beef and karen had her mussel soup thing... went to try kmix instead of the usual big echo... i still prefer big echo, cos the seats at kmix are very dodgy... anyway, the only good thing was they had the 'que yang' song... big echo dun have... sang till ard 1030pm and amelia gave karen a lift home, and wanted to give me a lift but i said no... i dun want her to travel all the way to dural and back cos it was quite late already...
stayed at home on tuesday, trying to finish the HO assignment... went to eat lunch with prisy and mahsa, but at the same time it was to film the thing for HO again... did not go too well, i really hate doing this... like it's hard cos i felt like i was hindering their work and they thought i was a joke... the person-in-charge was so condescending towards me... it was so not funny... anyway, i really dun care already i will just use what i have... sometimes this is what i hate about this course... having to go out and do stuff...
anway, prisy and i watched galaxy quest that night... it was really funny, in a 'simple' kind of way... watching it allowed me to destress cos it was so stupid funny... and something else made me angry that day... was supposed to go somewhere and spend the night... but they told me at the last minute that they wanted to finish their stuff, and i even had my stuff packed... well, dun think i am going to do it next time... and it was not until i called then i found out... thanks guys...
drove to uni using the silverwater road yesterday... followed the directions that uncle gave and got to uni without getting lost... spent the whole day doing research for the assignment... and my interview for qualitative... really dun feel like doing the assignments... i am so not motivated...

LOsT...
The day I got lost... it was one scary experience... i was driving to uni using the silverwater route... and somehow, i was driving along when I realised that i am not supposed to be where i was, cos the surroundings did not look familiar, that's when i went oh shit... i had no idea where i was and so, i just drove blindly, decided to turn into a small street so that i could pull over and call uncle... but the street that i pulled into had no parking and so i panicked and just drove up onto someone else's driveway and stopped... and i nearly hit someone as well while changing lanes cos i did not know where i was going... i was so scared... almost wanted to cry... called uncle and it was no use cos i did not know where i was... in the end, i got out and asked for directions from this guy who was coming out of his car... he told me how to get back onto silverwater road... so i followed his directions but did not see the bridge that he was telling about, instead i saw a sign that said eastwood so i thought ok, let's just go to eastwood and hopefully end up at epping, which was a place i am familiar with... and then somehow, i ended up on silverwater road and got to uni... thank god... it was really scary... it was an experience i never want to have again in the near future...
next week is the mid semester break... which really is not much of a break, with HO, COP, qualitative, honours stuff and OTTP to complete during that short period of one week... so unless i stay at home every day and have no life, i definitely will not be able to do all those stuff...

WeEk 9...
Last thursday, went to the city for karaoke with prisy, michelle and her high school friend who came to visit from singapore... we initially wanted to eat something nice at darling harbour but by the time we met up with michelle and sharon, it was so late already... so we ended up eating dessert at Lindt's... their iced milk chocolate drink is the best... after that... we went for three hours of karaoke and i was surprised that even though it was a thursday, the place was quite crowded and it was so late as well... luckily we called earlier to book a room... and so we sang till 12 midnight, and i was so sleepy... and we got home only at 1am...
bought my why why love dvd at eastwood... haha... cannot wait already... i quite liked the show even though the ending was not too good... other than that, nothing exciting happened... uni assignments are piling up and next week's the one week mid semester break... the HO assignment is killing me... it's like due in 3 weeks time and i still dunno who I can do the workplace assessment on...
went to watch the bourne ultimatum with prisy at castle towers... the movie was not bad, except i think bcos we sat too near too the screen, we had to look up and the cameraman filming was really shaky the entire movie, and as a result, i got such a bad headache and i felt like throwing up throughout the movie... in the middle of the movie, it got so bad that prisy and I moved to the seats at the back... I felt better but the nausea was still there and when i got home, prisy forced me to eat two panadol and i went straight to bed... slept for an hour and when michelle came to wake me... i felt much better, had a shower and ate cake cos it was auntie's birthday... btw we saw the trailer for resident evil 3... it looked good man... but scary... bourne ultimatum was good but still preferred the first one...

FiRSt tiMe...
I finally drove the car by myself last Tuesday... drove from our house to yochi's house... i was quite scared at first cos i have not driven by myself ever... but it turned out alright... parked along the street at uni... and one day at uni was enough to make the car dirty and dusty all over... yuck...
michelle's friend came over to visit from singapore... and we had a nice dinner last night, she bought wine for us and it was really nice... after that, we watched the holiday... the show is really nice and funny... did not have high expectations but it turned out to be better than i expected... really funny though... and prisy and michelle kept going on and on the whole time about how cute jude law was...
today drove to uni as well... and bcos we finished late today, when I dropped yochi at her house, i was reversing out of her driveway when the car went over the kerb and hit the kerb... i had a really bad scare... and yochi and i were like trying to look to see if anything was damaged but it was so dark, we could not see anything... but I could feel the front part coming out... i was so worried the whole way home... when i got home, uncle told me that the front plastic part of the car came out but somehow, uncle managed to fix it... thank god... Auris is only 7 days old, he can't have any damage so early...

AuRiS...
yesterday was the apec public holiday... in the morning, prisy and I drove around the estate and she taught me how to park... it was really difficult as I simply could not visualise which direction I should turn the wheel... and after I drove with uncle auntie and prisy to uni via the other silverwater route... tried to do a parallel parking at uni but it was super difficult so I think I would rather not risk it and just pay money to park inside uni... after that, we stopped by strathfield to have lunch at ceci's... then went to rhodes ikea and ohmigod... there were so many people, it's like as if the whole of sydney decided to come to ikea... it was so crowded... went to look for my bookshelf... but did not find a suitable one in the end... then we stopped by macquarie shopping centre... the only thing that was not good yesterday was that it was raining the whole day and my poor Auris is wet and dirty...
when we got home... uncle showed me how to give Auris a clean and I cleaned the floormats... definitely hard work to have a car... but i did not regret getting this car... it's been a really good car... hopefully the weather becomes better otherwise I will have to keep cleaning the car...

A drEAm cOmE tRuE...
Today is quite a momentous occasion for me... cos 6 september is the day i finally got my car... i really really like it... it's definitely my dream car... but i have to say that getting a car is not an easy feat... i have definitely learnt a lesson from this and with owning a car, comes great responsibilty and my pocket has a huge gaping hole... all my hard earned savings these past 3 years have been spent on the car... and i am still only paying not even half of what the car cost...
now i have to learn how to park with this car and i have decided that I am going to call my car Auris... i actually found out that this name was the model name for this car model in the other parts of the world but australia apparently bought the rights to keep the model name as corolla... so from now onwards, Auris and I will have to get to know each other and build up our trust in each other...
And finally, a very big thank you to uncle, auntie, prisy and michelle... and papa, mum and pong... without all of you, i would not have gotten this far... and if you asked at the beginning at the year if i would envision myself owning a car, i would not have even dreamed/thought of it...

RAndOm raMbLiNgs...
did not go to uni today... to stay home and study for the applied physiology lecture tomorrow... sian man... stoning almost half the time, and studying for this really can put me to sleep... dun even know what is going on and i am just sort of memorising the stuff without really understanding it...
watched fantastic four rise of the silver surfer last saturday... it was alright, i thought the first one was better though, and what's up with jessica alba's blond hairstyle?? was watching ocean's 13 but my eyes were really closing so went to sleep after the first 15 minutes of the show... haha when pong was here, when we were watching charlie and the chocolate factory, i slept through half the show too...
this year, zhen zhen and the rest gave me a chocolate drink set and amelia and karen got me a chocolate factory... i think they noticed that i love chocolates haha... i guess this year was better then the previous years cos i have more people celebrating with me... and prisy's family treated me to meat and wine co... and it was really expensive... and pong exchanged her nice sony ericsson phone with me... haha...
drove home from uni yesterday with amelia... now i just have to familiarise myself with the route to uni and be confident enough to drive by myself... and i am counting down to the day when I finally can drive my car... quite excited actually...

VisiT fRoM siNgApoRE...
it has been a week since my dad and sis came and went... although they only came to visit for a week, i was really glad that they came and i had a great time... brought them to lots of places and ate alot... the only thing that i dun like was that i had to go to uni and could not spend more time with them... we went to manly, to karaoke, to paramatta, and ate all my fav foods... and of course not forgetting my birthday lunch last friday... at auburn rsl again... remember we went there the first year i came over and it was also my birthday lunch... the food there was quite nice and all of us got to sit and talk at the long table... buffet-style... the only troublesome thing abt the rsl is that you have to be a member to get in and they dun accept student ID... really annoying...
anyway, another momentous moment that happened over last weekend was... i bought a car... finally... have not gotten the car but i still cannot believe that i bought a car... and it's the 2007 toyota corolla, dark blue colour... it's going to be so awesome... but buying a car was really not an easy thing for me... dun really want to go into details here, but just want to say that i have learnt a lesson from the whole experience... you have to really know what you want and what you are getting so that you dun get cheated by the car dealer... on the flipside, having a car brings other problems as well... hopefully everything will work out okay...
and last thursday i had the maladaptive presentation... which i thought went okay except maybe we should have evaluated the treatment options more instead of just listing them... next week is applied physiology exam and the HO assignment is really giving me a headache... where am I going to find people for me to do on?

3 MOrE daYS To GO...
Have been watching quite a few shows, movies actually these few days... saw Happily never after, the cartoon and it was quite funny actually... like they were turning all the fairytales upside down... and then i also saw Die hard 4... have never seen a die hard movie at all before... but the latest one was quite action-packed and was quite a good show... although bruce willis never seem to die even when he fell from a moving car or when there were explosions... and maggie Q was in the movie... she's really pretty i think... she has been in a few big budget hollywood movies... which is really good... and then i saw the movie Next with Nicolas Cage... it's alright, not as interesting as National Treasure... and the ending was quite anti-climatic... also saw The Illusionist with Edward Norton... it was alright, although the ending was quite clever... the movie was quite slow moving though...
and on saturday, went to look at toyota and hyundai cars... did not get to go on test drives... going to wait for papa to come and go test drive with me... the salesman that we spoke to at pennant hills toyota was so rude... he probably figured that we were not really serious in buying a car from him on that day... i think i will either get the yaris or the corolla... cos all the people i talked to advised me that toyota is the most reliable brand, and the parts are cheaper as well...
and then yesterday, stayed up till 3am to finish watching why why love... apparently the vcd is out in singapore and this really kind person uploaded it onto veoh... i was so disappointed with the way the show went in the last 2 episodes... spoilers ahead...
it went from a funny and cute show to a sad one... cos he got some strange illness and was going to die... and bcos he did not want to make jiadi upset, he decided to give her up and pretended to be mean to her and offered her to his brother... very melodramatic... i just don't understand why all the taiwanese shows all started out to be really good and the producers had to ruin the whole show with shitty endings... anyway, now i dun have to wait every week to watch the show... haha... mike he is still so cute... rainie as well...

AnDReA's bAck...
felt like i have not been blogging for awhile... nothing much happening... latest updates... 1) uni stuff has been piling up as the days go by but what's new... i should already be used to it by now and it's like week 4 of semester 2... 2) amelia's been teaching how to do perpendicular parking whenever we have breaks in between lectures... still not very consistent, and i really think i have some visuospatial deficits cos for the life of me, i always get confused abt which direction i should turn the wheel if i get too close or too wide to the car... 3) went karaoke after uni yesterday with karen and amelia... and we only got to the city at like 7pm, sang till 10pm and bcos it was so late already, i slept over at karen's house... i have itching to go karaoke since ages ago but nobody have time to go with me but finally got to go yesterday... and it was good... ate KFC and sang till our hearts' content... 4) next week papa and pong are coming over to visit... yay! but only for a week and i have a presentation that week as well... but i am really looking forward to them coming... and the birthday gathering as well on friday... now that realreal and the others are here, it would definitely be more fun and rowdy!!! and lastly hopefully it will be good weather every day from next week onwards...

REd Ps... Here I cOmE...
Today the 8th August 2007 is really my lucky day... I am soooo relieved it is as if a big load has been lifted off my shoulder... why... cos I finally PASSED my driving test this morning after two failed attempts... and it must be bcos i have taken it a few times i was not that nervous today, rather it was mr akbarian who was nervous for me... and when we went on the practice drive before the test this morning, he brought me to this new stretch of road where it had this really unusual road marking, like a triangular island and he taught me how to drive onto that road... and suai suai really the tester brought me to that stretch of road... and i was like thank god mr akbarian taught me how to drive on that road otherwise it would be another fail attempt...
anyway, i really have to thank mr akbarian, who has been very patient and a very good teacher all this while... and i finally got my red Ps... now the next step would be to look for a car... and save money... this has got to be one of the best days ever...
and I am still thinking of stuff that we could do for my birthday... bowling? karaoke? eat? beach/picnic? party?

PRessURe x 10000000...
the end of week 2 of semester 2 of year 3... and i can already feel the pressure starting to build... from all the uni stuff, honours stuff, driving and from work... the thing i dun like abt this semester is that we have to go out into the community to do 'fieldwork'... which meant that i have to somehow find 'lobangs' where i can carry out my assignments... which is a problem bcos i have no idea where to find these places or people... and then researching for articles for my honours topic is taking up so much time... and i can't even find any relevant articles... and that day anna and i were just saying how there was just too much stuff already to be done for the main subjects... and there is just no time for us to do our research stuff... and anna said she is thinking of quitting honours... i am also thinking abt it... but i know mummy and papa will be disappointed if i quit... i know they probably will say up to me... but i know they wanted me to do it... and i thought i caould challenge myself by taking this initially... but as the weeks progress, i kept thinking to myself maybe this is too much of a challenge already and i am not coping as well as i should... my time management skills suck...
and then today, at work, nandar asked me if i wanted to be on a contract basis instead of a casual... and apparently alot of people are already on a contract... even the new people... whereas i only got offered after like two years... felt alittle upset... and the hours that she was offering me was not really good for me either, and i asked her what would happen if i want to reamin a casual, she was like i can't afford to give you so many hours as before, which meant that i probably would not get work on sundays... and uncle and auntie asked me to consider transferring to the woolies at dural, which is closer to where we live... went there once and the store is of course not as new as ours at thornleigh... and also more dirty... i dun really want to transfer there...
and then there's driving... when the hell will i pass the stupid test??!! argghh...
on a happier note, zhenzhen and the others invited me to their house for steamboat on friday... their apartment is quite big though... their balcony is huge... actually brought dvds thinking that we can watch, but being the dumb dumb that i am, i left them in the locker in school and i only remembered it when we were already halfway to their house... we ate and talked and laughed... alot actually... well i dun think some people would want me to put the content of what we talked abt here... haha... finally, the thought of the day was, looks can really be deceiving...

UNbeLieVAble bOrEdOm...
first week of uni... firstly, very excited and happy that zhenzhen and guys are all here attending uni with me... it still feels quite weird... secondly, the timetable this semester really sucks... we have so long breaks in between lectures... the longest break is like six hours... and the worst thing is lidcombe being a hole in the ground, we can't even go anywhere... and that's why at times like this having a car would be handy... up till now, the subjects i dun really enjoy is applied physiology and qualitative research... totally dun understand what the lecturer was talking abt during the applied physiology lectures... was just copying the notes... and qualitative was so boring... there were only eight students enrolled, and six of them have already got their degrees and are doing further studies... so it was quite weird cos they were also much older and they were talking abt the projects that they were working on... and the worse thing was we have to buy the textbook... which i dun really want to... i have not found out the price yet but it is going to be quite expensive... and i probably would not be using it in future... but then i dun really want to go talk to the lecturer cos the lecturer is quite fierce...
and then on tuesday, went out with zhenzhen and the rest to parramatta to watch harry potter... and bcos we wanted to catch the earlier show, and we missed the train at lidcombe, we had to catch a train back down to strathfield and had to run like hell to catch the express to parramatta... and they were saying how it was so stressful that we had to always run to catch the train... which was true cos usually if we miss a train, we have to wait ages for the next one... and when we arrived at parramatta, they were hungry but the shops in the food court were mostly closed, so in the end, they had to eat sushi... i actually thought the movie was quite good, like obviously alot of stuff had to be cut, but it was all quite good... quite scary at times... but i have to say that the special effects were better in transformers...
got to uni early on monday morning and decided to watch huan huan ai at the computer lab and used up all my free internet cache just watching two parts... i was like shit... and last week's episode was so short... i really can't wait anymore... really want to know the ending...

LOSER...
andrea is officially a LOSER!!! cos it's her second time failing the driving test... very upsetting... i dunno why i just cannot pass the test... and this time it's not bcos of the reverse parking... i actually got the required mark to pass but i did a fail item... cos what happened was... i was driving along this small street and there was this other L-plater doing the reverse parking so i went around the car and i did not go back onto my side of the road and just kept on driving... mr akbarian was also quite upset and i was like how many times must I take the test before i pass and get my red Ps??? arghhh... well... i can't really stop now, just have to keep trying till i pass the test...
and tomorrow is the start of semester 2... sian man... at least i am quite looking forward to this semester cos there will be more pple i know... but the timetable for this semester is really shitty and like i have long breaks in between but i still end quite late on some days... and i start at 9am every day except for thurs...
and i am still waiting IMpatiently every week for the episode of huan huan ai to be shown... WHY did i start watching the show now??!! i really hate this kind of waiting...

ALL toGeThEr agAiN...
last friday, went to lidcombe to meet up with zhenzhen and the rest... till now i still can't believe that they are really here in sydney ready to start uni with me for a year... time passed so quickly... waited ages for them to open their bank account... and guess who i saw??!! yunde from my primary school!! I was like ohmigod, i know you but i can't remember your name... haha... and she also recognised me... apparently she was doing physio at nyp before but i seriously dun remember seeing her when i was there... so anyway, i was really surprised to see her and she still looked the same as i remembered... and she cracked me up when she told me how zhenzhen and the rest told yunde that they were going to meet their friend from OT who's studying here (that's me) and she saw me and was like... pls lor, i know her leh... i know her longer than you guys... haha... and then the bank was filled with all the singaporean bridging course students from OT and PT... apparently, there were 5 from OT, 6 from PT and 8 from MRS... and i was like, oh man, the campus next semester will be full of singaporeans and singlish-speaking pple... haha including me... can't wait...
after that, we went to strathfield to eat with prisy... back at ceci again... and bcos we had such a big group, the evil witch kept staring at our table and hurrying us to leave... like we have not even finished the food and they already coming to start clearing the table... but the food was really good though... i am glad the guys liked the food... took some photos on the train and at strathfield... then edlyn and her housemate came to join us after...
work was quite shitty on sat... it was so busy for some reason and i think the new supervisor also did not plan the rosters properly... the pple just kept coming and whenever i looked up, the queue was neverending... and if i need to get like a barcode or the supervisor's numbers, he would be like give the item to the customer for free... even expensive meats... and prisy was the second person to tell me to consider transferring to the woolies at dural... i dun really want to cos who knows the pple there are friendly and nice or not and what the store is like... and prisy and i have been on a hana kimi marathon these few nights... and i hate to repeat myself but the ending sucks!

MORe thAn mEEtS ThE Eye...
went to watch transformers on tuesday... heard that the movie was really good from everyone who had seen it... and it was really good actually... the main character was funny, the main lead actress was so hot and the visual effects were really cool... i would give the movie 8/10...
and these past two days, prisy and i have been marathoning the korean series called my love patzzi... it is actually a very old show... saw it before on tv back in singapore... the show was ok, and i still think jang nara is very cute... although she was alittle annoying in the show sometimes... and what i really dun like abt korean guys is that they always smoke in the shows... why do they have to smoke all the time...
and then yesterday... i went to kino in the city to read my books... bought my next in death book and my hana kimi dvd... and it was cheaper than i expected... $18 for the whole show... so i was quite happy... after that, met up with prisy, did some shopping around central... went to eat at this japanese place that prisy recommended... the food not bad and the price was also reasonable... and then we went for karaoke for an hour... now waiting for my huan huan ai dvd to be out... i think this show is nicer than devil beside you and mike he's hairstyle is cooler as well... haha

A LiTTLe NOstALgia...
i am feeling better since last week... i am going to learn from my mistakes and make damn sure i dun make the same mistakes again in the next driving test... and i am taking driving lessons again...
did not do much for the past two weeks of holidays... did some journal article readings... watched the new taiwan series why why love... it is quite nice although it feels alot similar to devil beside you... and i have again fallen into the trap of starting the show without waiting for it to finish airing... and i bought a cupboard thinking it would be able to store all my files and notes... but it turned out not being able to fit the files in... and i had to return it... and prisy and i actually spent like two hours assembling it and then realising that the files would not be able to fit in... so in the end, we returned the cupboard fully assembled and the store said they will use it as their display model... i am actually not really in any hurry to get a bookshelf... so we'll see how it goes... and work was pretty boring as usual... have not seen the new supervisor yet... and nandar is not quitting apparently, she just went to do some exchange work at other woolies branches for a few weeks and she will be back...
yesterday went to do some grocery shopping with auntie... and when we went into this chinese shop, i saw the nissin cup noodles... and it reminded me of the times in crescent when we used to walk over to the petrol station and sit at the church and eat cup noodles after school... and fran always used to drink the soup and the rest of us nagging at her not to cos it's full of msg and her hair will fall out... haha... really miss those times... but everything has changed since...

So DUMB!!!!
today is a very sad day... failed my driving test... why??? bcos i could not do the reverse parking... i hit the kerb the first time and i panicked, tried to correct it and tried to do it a second time, but after 4 manoeuvres, the tester told me to forget it and drive on... so bcos of the reverse parking, i got 6 crosses, and i hit the kerb when i was doing the 3 point turn... and i did not see the car turning in front of me and was about to go... so all in all, i had 8 crosses, and failed the test... i was really upset cos i did not do the reverse parking properly... and then after, the tester asked me to pull over and i did not do it cos i thought the gaps between the cars were too narrow, and he was like, 'what are you doing? you just missed 4 gaps back there!!' and it did not help that the tester's attitude was horrible, he was so mean and so fierce during the test...
but i am just so upset that i did not do the reverse parking properly after all the practice that we did... and it was the same damn car as well when we did the reverse parking before the test... and i could see that mr akbarian was also quite upset that i did not pass the test... i am so stupid... dun even want to think about getting a car now... i just want to pass the damn test... So stupid!!!!

I'M boREd...
1st of july already... so fast... it has already been a month of winter... now really glad that clinicals are finally over and i dun have to do clinicals till at the end of the year hopefully if i can get one...
last friday went back to uni for debriefing... saw mostly everyone and uni felt strangely unfamiliar... cos i have not been back for awhile... everyone looked the same and it was good being able to catch up with the gang... the debriefing was as usual took ages... handed in the portfolio... met up with my honours supervisor... who told me that i should get started on looking for articles and thinking of my topic during the hols... then after the gang went to burwood to eat lunch... we were starving by the time we got there cos we had to wait for one another... and amelia could not drive cos she got her Ls... so yochi drove instead... we just sat and ate and talked for almost two hours at burwood foodcourt... and amelia will be doing a rural placement at Dubbo starting next week for two weeks... and she will be staying there so hopefully all goes well for her...
work was pretty boring... nothing much happening except i heard that our service manager is going on a long break and nobody knows if she will be coming back... so in the meantime, we will be having a new service manager... and hopefully he/she would be a nice person... otherwise our lives would all be hell...

MoVeD...
Yes, I have finally moved... to the new house in dural... the house is quite similar to the old one but abit bigger... and it was sooo tiring on sat, sun and mon... my arms were aching like crazy... we still had to go to the old house on mon to clean it... and now we have started to paint the rooms upstairs, the wardrobes... and the place downstairs is still a mess... dunno when we will be able to unpack everything... there are also plans to paint the walls downstairs... and i have not been able to access the internet till today... well my room is smaller than the one i had before, and the walls are purple... and i have to share a toilet with prisy and michelle now unlike before...
on tuesday... prisy and me went to attend my certificate ceremony in the main campus... and it would have been great if it had not been pouring and cold... i was so nervous not bcos i am going up on stage to receive the certificate but bcos i am wearing heels and i have to get up and down the stairs... the incident when i nearly tripped and fell when i was in sec 4 was still vivid in my mind... but luckily, everything went alright and after the ceremony, we went to eat my fav spicy beef...
have also been trying to work on my portfolio which is due tomorrow... and i have been waiting day after day for my evaluation form to be mailed... and when yesterday the postman came and left, and i still dun have the evaluation, i decided to call my supervisor... and guess what, he has not posted it to me despite me telling him on friday that he has to post it to me by this friday... i was so pissed... so annoying... and i also got my semester 2 timetable... and it looked bad... like i start at 9am from mon-wed, end late on wed and i have an elective which ends at 8pm on mondays... all the signs are telling me that i really need a car... so everything depends on me passing my test next thurs... i really need all the good luck i can get...
and i am now on holidays till next month... but nothing really exciting has happened yet cos i am still stuck in the house...
