The last time I was behind the wheels was 3 weeks ago as compared to the high frequency previously..
Before zh dropped me off at BBDC, he reminded me to be exceptionally careful since it has been so long since I was last driving. *sweet*
Today my instructor wasn't someone who have taught me before. It's good to have a unfamiliar instructor, at least I will not be inside my comfort circle.
My first attempt in the circuit wasn't too bad. I could get my vertical and parallel parking done within the stipulated timing but I keep forgetting about stop line. This constitute to an immediate failure.
Must absolutely remember!
When I asked for mock grading during my 2nd attempt in the circuit, everything was horrendous! I couldn't get into my parallel parking until the 3rd attempt and for vertical parking it's worst! I took like 4 attempts to get it in with equal distance to the left and right. I think my instructor nearly wanted to kill me at that moment. He was asking what is wrong with me. Then he figured out what I already knew!
I-couldn't-perform-under-pressure!!!!
Out on the road, I nearly clashed with a lorry during lane change. My mind was telling me not to lane change but my hands have acted. It was a near missed!
I must says that today revision class turns out to be a TOTAL DISASTER!
This is a far cry from my usual "standard". I wonder if it was because It has been too long since I last practiced or I am just plain lousy.
With the test date nearing, can I resume my previous standard? I really hope to get my own group instructors for the next revision class so that someone can inject me with some positive encouragement!
One thing for sure, I must stay very composed and not too stressed out during the actual TP day!

[fUn] my V-DIY with Liese haiR dYe
i have been wanting to do this for the longest time ever... =p
under the encouraging influence of mummy, i decided to try it!
Out of the so many brands of hair dye in the market, i decided to opt for Liese cos it seems so easy and convenient with the new bubble concept of dyeing process.
My main objective is to cover the greyish-white hair.
There are only about 5 colors to choose from that can provide grey hair coverage.
And my choice......
Verdict
Effectiveness of coverage:
80% - My really huge chunk of white hair turns greyish-chocolate.
At least it is not sticking out like sore thumb.
Process:
It was a bit messy as my hair is longer than shoulder length. Thus, when i start to foam and massage, my hair keeps falling down and stain my clothing!!! *arrggghhh.....*
Strong smell?
That's what one thing that irks me. The "ammonia" smell was so strong that i have to open the window in my bathroom. But that was also only in the beginning and eventually i got "accustomed" to the smell.
Definitely a good recommendation for anyone who wants to save big bucks on salon hair-dye. And there are so many colors to choose from if the main objective is not grey hair coverage.

Maybe it's just me and my clumsiness.
I should have got a cape. =(
Apart from that, the whole hair dye process was a breeze.
Did the hair turn out dry after dyeing?
Nope! In fact, it was smoother than before. Weird right?Strong smell?

Learning: Silence & Anger
Ungrateful.
For all the effort and work done, this is my reward at the end of the day.
Anger>>
To be angry is to punish yourself for others mistake. This was my mantra for this whole week.
But alias, I am just a human being and really fail to control my anger.
There were really times I wished to argue back and say spiteful words in return.
Silence>>
However I remembered I read a buddhist quote that says "Do not speak - unless it improves on silence".
I went on to google for more Buddhist teaching and found another good one as follows:
"The fool thinks he has won the battle when he bullies with harsh speech.
But knowing how to be forbearing alone makes one victorious."
Rem to seal off ur mouth the next time anger got the better of u!

The past 24 hours saw impossible heaps of challenges coming heads on in our path. Thank you god for sending us silent Angels to help us and tide us through the difficult period.
Thank you for everything!
