when the weather gets warm

Right, so today I was supposed to take my Final Theory. I wrote it down in my organiser that it was today.

I got to the CDC early and stood around just like everyone else. I didn't take out my book, but everyone else had, reading up to cram whatever they can at the last minute.

And their books were green. Green for the Basic Theory Test. Hmm something's not right.

Then the time came for everyone to line up outside the classroom. I just had to check my receipt.

23/09/08.

Oh well, I have one more day to brush up on things.

I simply cannot believe I sat on my ass and wasted the first 6 months of this year not learning how to drive. We have two cars, one of which is a sports car, and I procrastinated. Why? I really... don't know. And when I do eventually get my license before I go, which is a gigantic IF, i'll probably have all of a handful of weeks to drive before I leave.

On the flipside, I won't have to worry about being suspended during my probation year.

Haven't been updating. Things have been extremely routine, with the occasional night out every couple of days. This URL has probably been wiped off the face of several browsers, but no matter. I have big plans for this blog in the years to come. Which isn't too long, it's down to 4 months now.

Once October comes around everything will be quite chaotic. I think i'll probably be up to my neck in tuition (MONIES!) with everyone's exams coming around. Tentative Genting trip with the WO girlies, and a tentative Batam trip with the bahluls. Tentative Chiangmai trip in November, and lastly, a tentative (undecided) trip in December. I just need one kickass holiday before I go. I managed to convince the momster that Japan isn't really THAT cold in winter. But it's still in the works.

Then come December it'll be - apply for Visa, source for accomodation online, book my ticket, pass my TP (please god let it be in December, if I pass my FTT tomorrow), have a kickass Christmas with the family, a kickass New Year's with my closest friends, throw a goodbye BBQ and then finally disappear.

Past few weeks have been pretty great, am making it a point to do something fun every weekend. During the RSAF Open House pa managed to get tickets for a ride on the C130. Took some cool photos of the interior, I think we should make it a point to visit Singapore's manymany islands. Some of them are absolutely beautiful! But of course there's the occasional saltwater crocodile.

Went to watch Wall E with Surin before he enlisted. Supposed to watch 4Bia, but the showtimes were in the early afternoon so we decided to watch Wall E instead which was nothing short of awesome. Everytime I bring it up people say it looks irritating, which I have to admit it does, BUT that's very deceptive because it's actually a damn good movie. I want the Wall E robot.






















More recently Aresha, Primela, Elizabeth, her boyfriend and I went to Three Monkeys at Orchard Towers to watch Kumar do stand-up comedy. He was just freaking hilarious. Tranny lip-syncing galore, but I loved every bit of it.

Upon noticing ang mohs in the audience;

'Oh hi where are you guys from?'

'We're from London.'

'Ohhh lovely, please stay. We're leaving.'

Okay gotta go and do my tuition thang, as I do everyday. It's really taking a toll, but the money's too good. I'll leave you all with the song from Wall E's closing credits, Down To Earth.



P/S: RATTIES FINALLY GET ALONG! They have totally stopped trying to kill each other. They groom each other, playfight and feel the need to box each other every hour or so. Only shitty thing is that Stalin can squeeze out the bars of the humongo 3 storey cage, which sucks. He got out one night when I wasn't home and bit a hole in the leather of my retro headphones. I wanted to kill him, but of course I didn't. :)
