The Drive to Drive

State: Scorched

The sun was pretty unforgiving today.
Many plants died under the torturing rays.
The bushes seemed to be on fire.

It has been a while since I last stepped out of my shell into the afternoon sun.
Today I did my revision driving.
Completed all test routes from last week.
Mister See (MS) had been my favourite instructor all these while.
How come? Because he is damn humorous and serious at the right times.
Its really conducive to learn from him.

Last week the driving wasn't too good.
Last week the engine stalled uncountable times in the circuit. But circuit courses were as smooth as fattening cream.
Last week was the final evaluation lesson for me:

MS: If its the OLDEN times.. then today confirm YMCA.
WG: Hmm.. er. What's YMCA?
MS: You Must Come Again.
WG: ...............

Who knows. Last week's mistakes wasn't repeated today. *phew* But...
Today the engine stalled twice on circuit slopes. =.= And I hit circuit kerbs for about less than 10 times?? Well, basically a one time hit on kerb is direct failure. So aren't I cool?
Then.
Today's driving on outside road was so smooth until I almost dozed off. =.="
Haha. Not being complacent here. I really hope to clear my driving once and for all.

Today's revision lesson:
MS: I must say your driving really had improved for the outside roads.
WG: Orh. (Of course. You said to treat you like a glass of water. Cannot spill when driving wat)
MS: But.. you know I know lah. (Today how many times of direct failure?!)
WG: Orh. (SMILES.. I have improved! Despite some #%*&! too fast turning end up hit kerb.. =.=")

Had improved on last week's setbacks.
But today meet new setbacks.
Well. I guess sometimes, its the setbacks that we faced that pushes us to move on in life.

Despite everything I really do look forward to Hokkaido.
Really hope to just enjoy without much stress.
Hur.. of course got to work towards that.
Damn. Know my post exam resolutions?
After my FINAL paper on 30 Nov. Walkergal will...

• Pack lunch then head back to shell.
• Throw in about 4-5 hours of FYP. Email Mister Woo the new updates from the 4-5 hours, and schedule the next meet up of FYP with him to ensure that my focus and pace has been correct.
• Change into running gear and sweat out a bit, and hold back the beers to prepare for Standard Chartered Bank run on coming sunday.
• Enjoy a nice packed dinner in my room, touch the lappie, watch the tv, hit the blankets.

I can't imagine it can come soooooo punctual since 9 September.
