Every new year, I love writing my new year's resolutions cause i can come up with all sorts of funny things i wish to achieve but somehow, always unattempted.
But this year i promise myself that this 2010 resolutions wont be unattempted and forgotten like how every year's resolution's been forsaken and uremembered.
Heres the big list:
But this year i promise myself that this 2010 resolutions wont be unattempted and forgotten like how every year's resolution's been forsaken and uremembered.
Heres the big list:
1. Continue working hard to do well and get a good GPA and get $ from daddy
2. Toned up, exercise 3 times a week. yeah wtv. This will forever be on my new year's
resolution. Every girl's dream to lose weight what. Girls forever complaining fat.
3. Quit procrastinating. This means i have to stop saying i'll do this tmr and end up doing it next week -.-
4. Throw an awesome 19th birthday
5. Dont upset my parents
6. Stop calling Kang an ah pek. But really kang is damn traditional/ conventional!!! You need to keep up with trend boy.
**7. MOTIVATE MYSELF TO GET MY ASS TO TENNIS TRAINING if not if the year 1s this april better than me i have no one to blame but myself. I will bury myself in embarrasment and prolly never return to tennis which i really dont want to happen :(
8. Hopefully get my STB scholarship. not trying to haolian or what but if i really get i think my whole family will be in jubilation, throw every party possible. However, getting this scholarship is fucking hard. They're only issuing 3 scholarships out of 500 students? So if i get it, its like striking 10 million toto.. but keeping faith.
10. GET MY DRIVING LICENSE ASAP. I need to get my license so travelling would be x10 easier!!!
11. Go on a holiday with the girls & boys!!! I dont care where. Just need to go! But preferable thailand for shopping!!
Thats all i can think of for now.. But more than enough for this year. Really hope 2010 would have surprises instored for me! :)

An hour ago, my mum and i got into a super ridiculous fight. I was desperately finding an auto driving instructor because my PDL is expiring next month but i'm already prepared to renew my PDL but thats not the reason why we got into a fight.
Initially, i had a instructor that stays in the same condo as i do and it would have been so much of a convenience for me as he said he could send me to and fro from the driving centre. I was so excited and all ready to learn from him but when i made a phone call to book an appt, he said his car was manual. Jaw dropped for 5 seconds because i felt so dumb not double checking months ago and getting all excited for nothing, but he gave me his friend's number. Called his friend, the whole time he was conversing in chinese. Asked if he speaked english and could teach me in english, he said " yi dian dian". Jaw dropped another 5 seconds cause my chinese is shit and we're like one chicken, one duck. Panicked even more..
Started sourcing for numbers from friends in desparation and to my dismay, all learning manual.. I thought everyone would make their lives easier and drive auto but sadly, no. So they passed me their friend's instructor's numbers and they were charging $30 per hour and could speak english!!! yesssss finallyyyyy NOT
My mum felt that i'm being too fussy about instructors because i can just make do with the one who teaches in chinese. Why? because he charges $26 per hour and that means my dad can save $4.
Im not complaining that my parents are cheapo or what but seriously. HOW IN THE WORLD AM I GOING TO LEARN FROM HIM WHEN HE SPEAKS CHINESE 99% OF THE TIME. Maybe the only english words he know are Hello, right, left, this one, that one, reverse, neutral, gear, etc..
I have to put my pride aside and say that MAYBE
the problem lies in me because I dont even know what the steering wheel/ junction/ signboard/ trafficlight/ expressway and many many more road terms are called in chinese.
The whole fight was that my mum insisted that i learn from him because there's no need to pay $4 more for someone who speaks english.. She even had to point out that i got a B3 for chinese o levels, my chinese cant be that bad blah blah blah, you're a chinese last time i learn also in chinese blah blah blah. WOW
How about my chinese o level score can suck my toes because i dont believe i really got B3?! i think it was because of all the moderation and luck during the chiense cloze passage ( zhong tian kong wen ? )
I dont know if i'm being selfish but i really dont see a point in saving the $4 if i'm going to be in a car feeling so foreign because my chinese is broken and half the time he'll be trying to explain himself or i for the matter.
But I decided to give in because my new year resolution was not to upset my parents.. so staying true to my resolution number 5, i gave in.
I'll be having my first lesson with him on wednesday next week and i'm going to see how everything goes.
