I'm at home at a weekday. Thank god for public holidays.
The much awaited driving test that was supposed to be held has to wait a bit more. Practiced so hard on Tuesday to put a good driving performance today only for a batch of reservists to cut into our queue. Instead we will be having it on Friday.
A definite sense of anti-climax.
Everyone felt like crap yesterday because of the last minute canceling and I ended up driving equally like crap which warranted me "I don't think you will pass the test" by my driving instructor.
Sigh. Will have to try harder on the actual day I guess.
On a lighter note, we have today off ("which we would not have to book in at night IF the test was today" whines my inner self) so its a great great feeling to sleep at home for 3 nights this week.
Off to go shopping for clothes before book in tonight!

The Post which Strives for a Free Sunday Night
Its the Sunday evening before the book in.
I spend the morning playing basketball with the 0706 folks with the usual guests of Chengliang and Qixiang. It was good clean fun but it wasn't the usual good clean play with Sinkiat and me roughing it up but it was very enjoyable.
By the end of it, which was about 3pm, we left Siglap CC a much more tanned lot, with me achieving the look of a half-cooked lobster.
Waited anxiously at home for Mr Rizal, my driving instructor, for instructions regarding our recce of the test area but turns out he was stuck in a traffic jam in the causeway and he couldn't make it.
Hip hip hurray! Haha..
I ended up spending time with my dad talking and talking just now and it actually feels quite good to talk to the old lad after being in the house for only short periods of time since the driving course started.
Gotta do some last minute packing before I jump into my no.4 again for the week ahead. At least there's a public holiday on Thursday to book out :D
WISH ME LUCK FOLKS FOR MY DRIVING TEST!!!!!

The Post which Tries to Catch the Eye of the Waitress
Hello I'm back again after a near 4 month hiatus!
I'm not sure what brings me back to writing again. I feel that my fingers is all rusty from the lack of typing since my enlistment quite a few months back. But i guess it's just an attempt to jump-start my brain.
Well it's been quite a while since my last post last year end so here I am providing an update about myself.
January marked the goodbye of my pink I/C (will be sorely missed) and the beginning of my unwilling incarceration in a certain green uniform. Needless to say my life has changed drastically since then and I'm still trying to get used to it.
February saw me leaving the sandy shores of Tekong to the seasides of Changi Naval Base after I was posted out of BMTC following my recurring knee injuries. I will have to go for a recourse of BMT in exchange for learning how to drive military vehicles.
March was spent in the confines of the naval base in a blue uniform this time, sleeping away and enjoying tasty navy chow. I also received my A level results which I am content enough with.
And this month, in the hot and wet April, I chugged up and down the eastern side of Singapore in Landrovers and 3-Tonners (a type of big army truck) at 50km/h, baking in the hot engines and merciless afternoon sunshine.
Pretty fast isn't it? Nearly 4 months of the year have past already!
Anyway, here I am typing away to myself in front of my laptop, enjoying yet another of my silent coffees. It's another quiet weekend ahead.
I have quite a few things to look forward to though.
First up I have my final driving test for my 3-tonner this coming Wednesday. A pass will allow me to pack up my bags in Sembawang Camp and head for home sweet home. A failure will see me wallow in self pity and agony for at least few more days before I can retake my test.
As you probably can imagine, I want to pass the test quite badly.
On another hand I have a MOE Teaching Award interview to contend with on the following Monday. The funny thing is that I had given all hope today after a fruitless 2 week wait, only for them to call me today.
I haven't been for any interviews before so I'm up to my armpits for this one. I'm open to all sorts of advice anyone can give. =)
As all of you smart people can tell I don't a tagboard for now so please leave comments via the comments link. I welcome all visitors!
Will be sleeping earlier tonight. Good week ahead all.
