Overdue post

Haha my blog, sorry for neglecting you for so long. I mean, it was such a wonderful holiday period for me for the past month, that I totally forgot about you haha!

First up, my DrumZout 2009 was a roaring success on 20th June at vivocity amphitheatre! We started the preparatory work on friday, and transported many stuff to vivo in the day. Then, jy and me stayed overnight at vivo, and we only went back home on sat morning itself when some people came to relieve us. I took my time at home, and used the computer haha, and only reached vivo at around 2pm lol. Shortly after, the competition commenced, and it was such a spendid performance by all the teams!

My bro then let me in on a part time lobang haha. Hasbro, the toy company, is having a booth at marina square for the Parents' Fiesta 2009. Basically, what we did were just game station masters, and taught the kids how to play. Pretty fun job, and I liked interacting with all the super uber cute kids there! Haha!

I also had ate at Molly Malone with jf for his bday on 3rd july. I first went there with my army D2, and realized they really served good fish n chips, and so I decided to go there again hehe.. Then after the filling meal, we headed over to suntec city to visit the World Cyber Games there. Well, we reached there pretty late, and they were closing already, and so it was pretty boring.

My dad's bdae also falls on this month 12th, and we had a superb buffet dinner at kuishinbo on saturday 11th july at suntec! I only called and tried making reservations on the day itself, and was thus denied a reservation because it was fully booked. So, we headed over early, hoping to get a walk-in table. Alas, we were a little too late, and thus spent an hour waiting for the early birds promo diners to finish before we had our table. Yummy food! My parents loved the snow crabs, salmon sashimi, and many many other nice foodie like the chocolate fondue etc. =))) And on sunday itself, which was my dad's bdae, I went to collect a new york cheesecake from northpoint bakerzinn. I had earlier made an order on friday to collect the cake on sunday. My dad lurve cakes, and was thus delighted at having a very nice and tasty cheesecake! He took quite a few pictures haha! The cake was finished in just 24 hours. Imagine the cake craving that lurks in my family lol! =)

Finally, it was time to start planning for my driving lessons! I booked a total of 5 lessons, inclusive of 1 circuit lesson, before my impending test on 20th july! I was originally under this instructor, or group of instructors, whose head was a Mr Ong. Well, all his instructors were very lousy and unprofessional, and only taught me how to drive, and not how to pass the test, nor all the safety driving checks. I failed my test, with a grand 42 points without any immediate failure, in february this year. Then, I had changed a new instructor who was a single instructor on his own, and had a very high 1st time passing rate in bbdc. I had also booked a test in April, right after my last exam paper, but after taking 2 lessons under him, I felt that I wasn't ready yet for the test, and so, I forfeited the test. It's better to lose $20 than to lose the test $150 haha. And so, now, I had my final test on 20th july. I was super nervous on the test date, and during the test, the tester had helped me brake twice! I thought it was gonna be a bad test, but alas, I passed with only 6 points! Haha. Thanks to this new Mr Tan, that helped me to pass. He was a good instructor who taught me all the correct techniques, unlike my previous ones. But then, he had thought badly of me actually haha, cos he didn't had the confidence that I would pass, and so when I asked him how many points he think I would have gotten, he replied '16 or 18'. ZzzZZzz. Lol. I was surprised at the score myself too hehe. And so to celebrate, I went to eat buffet again w A haha!

Next comes my convocation and reservist. I had woken early on tuesday to go back ntu with my family for my convo. Took quite some pics haha. But the ceremony itself was abit slow. I waited very long before going on stage to collect my cert as my surname was one of the last few to go up. So, I fell asleep haha! Had little sleep the previous night lol. Then after the whole thing, I rushed home, changed, and went to nee soon camp for my IMT. This year's ICT is range. Shoot only haha!

Tmr's my 1st day of work at yckss. Wonder what will happen. And if I'll be suitable for this job. The future is uncertain, but I hope it's exciting and fun!

Fingers crossed,
YY
