FIRST driving lesson (Y)

I'm taking the easy way! Learning auto. I think I'm too blur to take manual anyway. : /


The first lesson was fun please! Plus my instructor is a really funny guy. I laughed a lot. :D 


When he was trying to show me my blind areas, you moved around the car and asked if I can see his toes. For the front of the car it was really a huge distance. So after that when he told me to get out to show me all the 4 sides, he said and I quote "Very large blind area means what? Means that the driver is very what?" 


...


"short...?" 


And then he laughed and said he didn't say that and I was the one who admitted. HAHAHA. Nothing wrong with being short!  


Anyway he already commented that I was short when I had to pull the seat to the front. : / 


He's damn lame but it made the lesson really enjoyable. "Remember, E is enough, F is finish." WTS MANZZZZ. Hahaha. 


Actually I thought for the first lesson, I wouldn't start driving. Maybe like go through parts of the car. And yeah, we did do that. Then, we started the car and went forward and reversed a couple of times. THE HIGHLIGHT OF TODAY'S LESSON: Turning around bends!!! I was really afraid at first! And it's not easy to turn the steering wheel(that method of switching hands thingy....CONFUSES me). But I think I'm getting the hang of it, hopefully hahaha. 


I can't wait for my next lesson!!! THURSDAY, 7.30am!!! 


I booked like 10 prac lessons already! Spent 1k on driving already.OUCH OUCH OUCH. It's from my bank acct manzzzzz, cause you have to pay by nets. 


I WANT A PUPPY AND I'LL NAME IT POOFY. :)

Next phase of life

Chem engineering??? 

Even though I got what I wanted, I mean like since it's my first choice, I feel really hesitant to accept the offer. Not like I could change my course or anything at this point of time, but I'm not sure if this is what I really want. 

Why did I pick it? Because I wasn't brave enough to take just a chemistry degree? For fear that I'll have to "wash test-tubes" for the rest of my life if I decided that teaching is not what I want? BIG QUESTION MARK!I think I chose it because that darn MOE website said chem eng grads can teach chem, phy, math and even D&T, up to JC level. I think I really am crazy, I don't really know what chem engineers really do.

I think I would like to work in pharmaceutical industries, but it seems like a chemistry degree is more relevant. GOSH, did I pick the wrong course??? :( I think I would enjoy washing test-tubes. Maybe I should've taken chemistry. I mean I think lab work would suit me. DO CHEM ENGINEERS WORK IN LABS??? 

Okay forget it. I shouldn't worry. My gosh, I think I really am crazy. Okay okay, must tell myself that my future is in God's hands.

OKAY ENOUGH OF CRAZY RANTS. I have something funny hahaha. One of my tutee asked me what course I'll be taking in Uni and I told her chem engineering. And she was like "Huh, what's that?" And so I said chem engineers can work in petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries(as quoted from the brochure, I hope it's true and I can find a job in pharmaceutical next time!!!). I think I will never forget her reply. "HUH you're gonna work at the petrol kiosk?!" Damn FUNNY. HAHAHA, I SURE HOPE NOT.
