j'ai passé mon test de conduite d'armée (i passed my army driving test:oD)

okie... this is set to be a reeeally long one. let's start with I'VE JUST PASSED MY ARMY DRIVING TEST! yeah... man the test itself was crazy, but somehow i was one of the 9 people out of the about 30 who took the morning test who managed to pass... really i felt that luck was on me on this. before the actual test,about an hour like that, i was like starting to feel pressure of the situations which i was gonna face. before the testers came, we had the oppotunity to test the vehicles first... and when it ended, i didn't got anywhere near those trucks! then when the testers came, there was a short brief... then the first 6 were sent. i was among the first 6 and i was like 'whoa'. it was good to be first cos if i pass, wee! at the same time bcos i was first and it was during the morning peak traffic, many unexpected things can happen out there, and that is NOT good. so i went anyway, and the route i went was like full of narrow roads and i was told to drive into some unknown area which i never before! there were a couple of times i made some minor mistakes, regarding lane crossings, signalling, hazards blah x3... it was seriously nerve wrecking. throughout the test i tried to keep my cool, relax myself on the steering wheel while stopping at junctions... pretend to check my mirrors as often as i can... all the way back to the camp. the end part was to park my truck into the lot he chose, and i did just that... almost perfectly! after saying that i'm done, he then sumed up his assessment on me and told me that i chalked up 10 demerit points, just 1 point below failure! i was like 'WHOA!!! me lucky son of a bitch!' the tester also cautioned me to be more careful out there and that was it. I don't give a fuck about what he said or the mistakes i made, i PASSED! oh yeah! at that time i was like i think the first or 2nd guy to pass so far, made me feel so 'yeah, i AM that good!' so after me, only about 7 other guys passed and after lunch, we got our off pass and out we go! don't have to go back there tomorrow, but still have to come back for course at somewhere else. at that time i was feeling so accomplished, i messaged practically everyone about my test... (rude interruption: laura was the first person i messaged :o|) and everyone congratulated me... made me feel so... nice. :o) all these kept up until while halfway back to home, started thinking of what to do during this well deserved free time, and i couldn't think of anything and so... again my thoughts drifted to what i could've been doing with or for that particular someone... sigh still recovering really slowly... anyway i got home, surprised my mum and she was happy, went on the net to check out cable broadband services cos had wanted to get one... but in the end i still couldn't afford it as yet, dammit. just realised that my pay is really just barely enough to cover my more important expenses and hardly much to spend or save. this month i calculated, transport took up most of my money, more than my bill and money to my mum altogether! now left with just 60 bucks in my bank, just bearly enough to cover the rest of the transport for this month... so it's not really that i dunno how to save, it's really difficult to do so! stupid army... well anyway next month onwards getting extra 40 bucks into my pay, hope somehow can cushion everything... and hope hope HOPE! that my marksman 200 bucks come in too. grr... oh back to today, went out alone in the afternoon, just walked around town then to clementi to buy some food stuff and dinner too. later watching tv and hope to fall asleep soon, cos i don't wanna spend too much free time trying to do something when i cannot find something fun to do...
oh ya sunday... that was the start of my so-called new life. woke up feeling different from the days i had in the last 2 weeks. my mum woke up at the same time so... went to her and told her about what happened between me and laura. she kinda noticed that i was acting different the past days as well... i was putting it way too obvious... so at least sud tell wat happened. also just felt like tell her anyway too. mmm she listened and gave me advice and all, mm what a lovely mum. :o) later that morning went grocery shopping with her and also talked about it along the way. in the evening i wanted to just go out and be alone actually, but happened to call a fren whom i've never seen or contacted for like years and she happened to be heading to west coast recreational centre for gym session... so might as well go meet her. we met at the SP orientation camp years ago btw. she got into doing gym like months ago cos she said that she wanted to lose weight and stuff, but now she also mentioned that she'll be going to australia to study next month, so she's not really into it haha... ah i dunno her lah. so again, told me story to her and like everyone else gave me some really common advice... oh and guess what, she drove her way to gym in her dad's nissan cefiro. a couple days back stefanii gave me a ride in her parents huge volvo S70... and now this... and i was like feeling 'what the hell these girls get to drive FIRST? before ME? i feel really wierd driven by girls...hmm' after her gym thing, and getting to know her big sized trainer too (sudden thought: felt like telling laura to sign up for these gym things, i saw results myself... fuck man it works! if she's disciplined enough to follow a strict food diet and trainer hard, i really believe that she can shed some weight and look really gorgeous... oooh why am i thinking of all these?!), we went to holland village, in her dad's car, which she drove, and sat at starbucks and talked about me and catching up with each other. her size reminds me of laura (what the FUCK am i thinking?!?!) we stayed there till pretty late like about 9:30 plus then she sent me home. she also bought chocolates for me, saying that they are proven to make people happy, so sweet of her. so ended that sunday getting to know another fren, felt good. :) monday... dont think need to say much, think i said enuff yesterday. another sudden thought: i never went back to read what i wrote down here, i dunno why i just don't read them.
well, now i've got this off day, seriously have no idea what to do with it.felt like just leaving it till tomorrow then decide... now i'm beginning to feel sleepy, but i wanna try to lie on the bed and watch tv till i doze off, like what laura does AARGH!!!!!! okok i takes time for this to fade away, now too early too early.... sigh. *covers head with his pillow* nevermind i'll just listening to Hooberstank's The Reason and sing to it and listen to my own terrible unmatching voice....
