wednesday madness.
thank you all my dearest friends for being so happy for me!! that i now have my license, i never thought it would happen. haha. the test went really smoothly. the tester was actually an ex-student of my instructor!! that works - no the test was not rigged or biased, i can already see all you thinking awry. haha. it was based on merit! haha. i was expecting the tester to sit beside me, but instead he was behind, i didnt mind in fact it was probably more relaxing & i could see the subtle hints my instructor was giving me..haha..could read his body language. but of cos, i had my eyes on the road so, instructor didnt help much. especially when i was doing my 3 point turn. hahaha..
i have to do 3 things right: 1) turn as far as i can, 2) reverse and straighten out 3) turn abit more and drive off. on my second step, when i was supposed to reverse i forgot to put my gear into reverse. so i when i tapped the accelerator i went straight towards the curb. *gaspp* can still hear the scrapping of the underside of the bumper against concrete. ugh. i was like, "soooorrrrryyy!!!!!" all i could think of was "let's go let's gooo, damn was that an immediate failure?! and head check, rear view mirror check, signals!! put car back in drive and go!!!"
alas, it was all good, tester was really nice and he knew i was nervous la..so he jus said it'd be helpful to put car into reverse when doing your 3 point turns ya? haha..conversations that went on during the car was: 1) my instructor shoul dget his windows tinted cos the sun's so hot @) tinting is illegal in spore 3) tester has a sporean friend he met in vancouver who is mad about his fishing 4) yes, altho it says "siok l ng" (don't even ask) on my learner's permit, he should call me elaine and refer to me as elaine when giving instructions.
that was in the morning, 9-12.
got home in the afternoon, jus chilled, fine, vegged out in front of teevee.
evening, from 5-9, had dinner and coffee with mates.
10 - 2am, spent trying to find out whereabouts of a friend K, who ran out of his apartment and was msging his mom, in KL, msges that hinted at him wanting to end his life. becos he found out his ex-gf was with someone else. *phew* so this guy has been moping around and has been asking his friends for advice, K even approached the stranger sitting beside him on his flight back to melb and asked for advise (that conversation went on for 5hrs.) so last night, he was absolutely distraught and broken. and diverted all calls to his housemates' phone. they went around looking for him while i spent 4 hrs msging him and trying to calm him down. at the sametime, trying to weasel his location from him. K's called his housemate and told them to make a police report so his housemate did. i had to talk to the cops over the phone and tell them what K'd been saying to me. he didn't wanna talk to anyone except me and his mom. so i was really quite stressed. while i didnt think he'd have the guts to do anything stupid, i knew he was that confused and hysterical to do something dumb. at around 12 he stopped replying my msges and that made me kindda edgy. but at 1ish K's housemate called to say he was home.
later that night, he asked me to call his ex for him becos she had been refusing to answer his calls or msges. i had to call her home (she's in KL btw) and mobile. i didnt end up doing it. cause i ddint think it was my place at all. & i kept losing the number on my phone. am i very terrible??
but that entire night's events made me wonder alot about whether he relaly loved her that much or if it was an ego thing. K doesnt like losing and i think that was a major part of what hurt him. but he was all ready to transfer back to KL as guest student for 1 sem, have her come over the semester after that, and do his final yr internship back home in KL. i really wondered what his driving force was. he's 23 and has always been the sort to get overly caught up and lost in love. like really lost. i dunno if for him it as love or loss...
ah..so much drama. at least i cant say my life's boring. ¶ 7:59 PM
