Ok, they (you know who) gave me a reply and I was supposed to call another friggin number. I tot it would finally be confirmed but you know what? They said my medical report was handed to the eye department last Dec and I have to call back again next week! WHAT THE F***********!
YOU MEAN MY REPORT WAS ACTUALLY DORMANT AND GATHERING DUST FOR 1/2 YEAR UNTIL DEC? WHAT'S F***ING WRONG WITH THEM???
Sry, need to vent out my frustration on that matter. Could have used more vulgarities but this is a blog after all, controlled by sg law. You see that I referred to them as 'them'.
I dun want to go back there again. That place is so dreaded and horrid. And why do I get the feeling that the person who answered my call is the particular one I dislike...
Haven't go in alr so much resentment, dunno how I am going to survive with the politics in there...

Bukit Batok
Yay, I passed my BTT at Bukit Batok today! (not Batok Batok, nor Bukit Botak -__-) Actually there is nothing worth to yay abt cos the test was really ridiculously easy, esp with the practices I took. No kick compared to O and A lvls lah...haha. Hopefully the upcoming FTT (Final Theory Test) will be more challenging. Even after completing BTT, there is still a long way to go on my training journey before acquiring a license.
For now, I just have a temporary license to keep myself satisfied: the Provisional Driving License (PDL). A mere small flimsy piece of paper, haiz. At least it's legal for me to drive on the roads now.
One encounter to share today: A foreign man, who can't speak English well, wanted to convert his foreign license probably. It seemed that he spoke quite rudely to the counterlady, judging from his inappropriate use of words like 'clear?' and 'never ever!'. I heard him say sth like, "Do you understand? If you dun understand, I will teach you! I'm going to give a lecture at..." Wah lau, that was really ill-mannered. Dunno how to speak English well still scold ppl for not understanding him. His tone sounded like he was reprimanding the counterlady, even if he din mean it. He was also speaking very loudly and could be heard by everyone at the queue. The counterlady was pissed too, from her expression and tone. >_< Sometimes I really pity ppl working at service counters which mainly involves direct communication with customers. They are the ones who will get the full blast of all the crap customers give.
Woke up at noon and saw clear sky and dry ground. Tot it would probably not rain today, but it came ard late afternoon. You know, youngsters nowadays dun like to carry umbrellas ard.

Bukit Timah
Bukit Timah has become my 2nd home in the past 6 years of study. Even though I had been seeing the same scenery over and over again while travelling to and fro school, I dun really remember the name and sequence of landmarks. All I know is where I shld alight. A bit exaggerating but hmmm, quite true to a certain extent.
Finally I can get away from this region and venture to other parts of sg (as if I'm a tourist, haha). No plans on going overseas, hee. Home is still the best! Actually my main point is, I shld start thinking abt my future alr, instead of holding on to the 'zou yi bu kan yi bu' mentality.
Many expressed concern over my enlistment status. Sadly, it's still unconfirmed as though cmpb has done nothing to update my pes grade since my last checkup on June last year. Din intend to alert cmpb actually (and let them overlook me if that's their blunder), but in order to avoid the case where my enlistment date is set way after April (and affect my university admission), I called them up today. Fortunately this time the customer service officer (or rather 'officress') offered to bring up my case to the medical officers, unlike the irresponsible, useless reply of "I dunno" the last time. Hopefully my enlistment date will be set in April, no earlier no later, otherwise it will disrupt my schedule.
That's the near future. Let's go further. Shall not cover anything during my 2 years in NS as it's so unpredictable. Will be contented with a 'good' vocation that's all. (what an understatement...)
Since I'm studying locally, NUS seems to be a good choice of university. (lol...as if I've so many choices liddat) Course would most probably be engineering, still deciding...
Most would associate s paper with scholarships. Whenever I discuss s paper with someone, the subject of applying scholarships will pop up somewhere. True that most s paper students are aiming for a scholarship, however the requirements of scholarships are not solely based on academic aspect. There is a limit to grading, eg. you can't distinguish a genius who always scores As from one who just scrapes an A in the exams. As long as you exceed a certain mark, you'll get an A, doesn't matter how high you get. Thus cca is another criteria for judging, which I seriously lack. I'm position-less in my cca and there's nothing in my achievements to brag abt. My record is quite empty, and I even had difficulties giving information to my CT (the lcc lor) for testimonial writing. CCA? Nope. CIP? Nope. Competitions? Nope. Really there's nothing to write. I doubt my CT knows anything abt my personality to write abt. Oya, my GP also cmi. >_<
If studying locally, s papers aren't important so I'm seriously disadvantaged. Well, I can forget abt scholarships for now, giving cca information just freaks me out. Another major problem is that I've really thought out of what scholarships to apply for, haha. Actually got some in mind but things like bond and cca records are holding me back. Is the monthly household income considered too?
Ultimately, will the scholarship lead me to a better job and a better future? All the worries abt scholarships originate from this damn qn.

Toa Payoh
Did you know Toa Payoh is voted to be the most self-contained residential town in Singapore? You can find almost every shop, facility and recreation there. A Toa Payoh resident can find no reason in leaving their town.
That's probably one reason why both its MRT station and bus interchange were kena-ed yesterday morning for the emergency exercise. Dhoby Ghaut was down too, but kinda expected cos it's the biggest station in sg. Ironically one of the most ulu stations in sg, Marina Bay, was chosen. >_> Anyway dunno why early sunday morning still got so many MRT passengers.
Saw the Renci item which Jacelyn was 'complaining' abt, probably that perilous stunt that Michelle Chia pulled off at the end. Looked as though her arms were abt to get twisted...
Hmm, ming yi fa shi cried...meanwhile the numbers jumped greatly, haha. Sgeans may not be generous but they are definitely sympathetic.
Maybe I'll go for Jap lessons after all, I feel like I'm rotting at home. Being invaded by mould hyphae.

BB
After this weekend passes, most of my friends will have alr gone to tekong liao. I wonder what's the cause of the 'screw up' for my case. Want to give pes then give sth like pes B, C or E lah, why give pes D which is nowhere. >_< I hate the person who created pes D!
Trying very hard to expand my knowledge during this long holiday, but dunno if they are waste of time. Any good movies or TV shows to recommend? I still have problems listening to American accent. Anything to do to solve this problem?
Eh, I heard Harry Potter gonna die in the last book. True or not??? When the book is released will we see msn nicks, forums, blogs screaming "Harry Potter dies!"? Will more ppl commit suicide this time after hearing the spoiler? Well, we'll see...
I think I'm losing it. Mahjong I mean. Lost a lot of money the day before. There seems to be a barrier preventing me from obtaining the finishing tile, zzz. Made a lot of wrong decisions also, haiz. Dun feel like playing mahjong liao.
Wanna write an email to the future? http://www.futureme.org/
Have fun! :)
Oya, HARRY POTTER DIES! Yeah, I beat everyone to it. I'm the first k? Haha...

Remember to tap
Ezlink student concession has expired. Remember to tap the card when you alight from a bus, haha. Almost forgot to tap today, but remembered the last minute when I saw the other alighting passengers tap their cards. Must treat myself as a working adult liao. Any concession schemes for NS men? Or pre-NS-post-tertiary concession? >_>
Went to BBDC to apply for a fixed instructor grp. No recommendations from anyone so had to choose by purely looking at the instructor's photos. Can't tell which ones are good, haha. Generally the grp I choose must have instructors who:
- smile
- dun frown (expressionless or stoned-look is fine with me >_>)
- have no obvious mole on the face
- are not bald (-__-)
Even with all these criteria, I will still be doubting my choice until I get to meet one of them 2 weeks after. (damn the book-2-weeks-in-advance thingy)
Took the bus at the wrong time, it was terribly filled with students. Ah, miss the days when waiting at the bus stop with several fellow schoolmates and squeezing in the bus with them is a daily matter. How nostalgic...
Proceeded to the bank after that, wrong time also, so crowded. Issit always that crowded everyday or becos today is the first working day of the year. I pity the Indian policeman guarding the bank lor, he was fidgeting behind the counter restlessly giving the sianz look. What a boring job, lol, worst than the counter ladies. At least they still get to interact with the customers.
Got one couple went to the wrong counter and the counterlady shook her head and exclaimed, "I din press! No, I din press!" (-_____-")
Then another old woman forgot to take back her account book and just left the bank like that. The counterlady was shocked and had to go out and look for her...-__-
Actually I think the counterlady shld ask the policeman to chase after her, since he was getting so restless, haha.
On second thought, better not, skali the old woman heart weak, will get a shock when the policeman approaches her, lol.
First time visiting the bank on my own, hope the counterlady wun find me loso cos I asked a lot of qns. >_> Better be safe than sorry...

Welcome 2006!
Yawn, quite a boring start for the new year cos I'll be at home for the next one and a half weeks or so. Feel like going to school temporary to attend some lessons, haha. Can help out with unfinished tutorials also ^_^.
Driving lessons are extremely ex lor. 100 minutes $66 liao. Have to attend abt 20 of such lessons also >_<. Those who aspire to drive pls make sure you have 2k+ ready at hand.
Read up some forums and realised it's so easy to fail the driving test. The moment you talk back or argue with the tester you'll surely fail. If you dun stop at the zebra crossing even when there is no pedestrian at all, the tester will give you points liao. If you dun keep left even when you're going to turn right, points given also. >_< omg
House undergoing major rearrangement now. At the end of the day I'll have my own room with my own com :)
