okay so its wednesday now and honestly the week has been beautiful thus far. maybe life's supposed to be this beautiful, or perhaps its extra awesome in contrast to the shitty week last week. wheeeee!

yesterday was amazing; not only did i get offered an extension to stay on further past the original nine weeks at work/school AND the promise of a really good recommendation/referral to MOE, i also managed to catch up with gerald whom i haven't seen since i transferred to acjc :D dressed in my Hobo Clothes (shirt and shorts) and trotted down to j8 to meet that green guy. half the time was spent laughing about how we both DON'T row anymore (ex-teammate, this guy is) and the other half was spent talking cock. i could make a list of all the spasticated things he said, really, but i won't. plus today i also managed to finish marking the sec 3 compos (yeaaah the painful part is over) and go for my very first driving lesson! and gerald was right, it really is just like daytona car racing in the arcade! or like having your very own go-kart. ITS DAMN FREAKING FUNNN :D seriously 1.5 hours is not enough D:

okay, first lesson review. my instructor said my steering wheel control is 'not bad' but apparently i am an 'impatient driver' because i was bitching about:-
a) stupid sunday drivers (i was stuck behind this fellow learner guy on the ulu roads and he was moving at the speed of my grandma's grandma -- i was going at 30km/h and steadily catching up to him so yes he was really moving very slowly)
b) everyone else going faster than me on the main road (i was stuck at 50km/h cuz that's the speed limit for all cars but well, looks like 90% of people don't actually follow that. tried to go at 60km/h but then he was like all SLOW DOWN)
c) reversing taking too long a time. heh.

anyway, next lesson (which is next thursday) he's gonna stick me on the main roads again so we'll see how that works out! good luck everyone else on the road with me. ahahaha (: also, qx's belated birthday present just arrived today fresh from the USA! and i love it, he got me these pretty black earphones (: thanks frienddd. (/edit: he says they're precision earphones which usually sell for around 80 USD. and refuses to tell me how much he paid. but omg, very cool i am so going to try out the sound quality on these tomorrow, burn-in time required or not!)

/edit: however, my poor baby boy's having a horrid week. but there is always a silver lining on the cloud, and that would be that the long weekend is coming! <3
