Has been raining heavily the past few days. The monsoon. Yerbs. Kinda scared. Just hoping the rainy season would have subsided by the time I start my driving practical. Had my second trial this afternoon, booked 5 more practicals and witnessed a girl learning motorbike skid and fall at CDC. Reached home drenched. How sweet of him to accompany me the whole afternoon, carrying my pink umbrella. Hmm. Reminds you of Sutun perhaps? Heez. Sorry wak. Will be having a Seoul Garden lunch with him either tomorrow or the day after. Yumm. Believe me, I eat more than you think, especially at a buffet.

The weekends was completely occupied with boating. Saturday was 12 hours of theory. The doctor who came to check on us was my family doctor back when I stayed in Chai Chee a decade ago. No wonder he looked soo familiar the first time I saw him. Hah. I think I'm gonna become a doctor. Ask Di why. It was confusing. But David (an Old Bird with the Navy) was encouraging. He was inspiring somehow. Sunday was even more memorable. Reached Ubin early in the morning only to get stranded at the gazebo, linked to the pontoon at the Noordin campsite, and was on the verge of suffering hypothermia. The whole day I was freezing. Suffered slight cyanosis. My lips were purple. Yerbs. Didn't eat much. Haish. Still didn't lose weight. My BMI is still normal, I just checked. The two days were memorable. I had fun. Yupp! Only wished that Ul and Lu and especially Mann could have tagged along.

Abang has left for Genting this morning. Just hope he'll be safe, especially in this weather. And I hope my new haversack reaches home safely. And clean. Hehh.

I've decided. By the second week of school term, if there's still no calls for relief teachers, I will apply for a permanent job. Heck with these schools. But IF there are calls, I will apply for any night tutor-ing job. Wherever I can find. Relief teaching allows me to sew and cook during non-teaching days. Heez.

Will be going to HTA this Saturday. For first-aid duty with Mann and Yvette. Miss both loads! Can't wait to meet them!

Okay. Long post today. Not a single day, after my last paper, had I stayed at home the whole day. Nope. Not at all.

The few days after, went out to shop from prom stuffs.

Prom was alright. No DXO-ing for me. Booking in for camp already the next night. On the morning of prom itself, I went round almost the whole East of Singapore to prepare for camp (First Aid matters). Reached home only at 3, after applying for relief teaching at TKPS.

The few days before, I've already applied for BNSS and DMSS but up till today, there's no confirmation on teachers going on long leaves. I will fo to more schools if I don't get a response after X'mas. Right now, I'm unemployed. It's alright. If relief teaching fails me, I will have to resort to other jobs. Relief teaching will allow me to take up my driving lessons during off-peak hours. Yes, it's cheaper by almost $10 since I've decided to sign up under the school.

Annual Boot Camp @ Camp Resilience 2006 was one camp which I didn't want to break camp from. Why? I don't know. I just didn't want to go home. But I did after all. Can't possibly stay in Damai alone right? My main concern during the camp was casualties. Especially those with abnormal signs and symptoms. And the night walk was definitely an unforgettable one. Long story ...

And guess what, received an sms yesterday morning informing me that my application for this weekend's Powered Pleasure Craft Driving License (PPCDL) Course has been approved. How late can you be notified. The HQ seems to be ineffective nowadays. But I still get my free license. Hehs. My worries now is if I fail the tests. Fortunately NO BTT nor FTT is required, but the Boating theory test is a killer I heard. Practical test will be within 6 months after the course itself. Problem is, to practise, we need a boat. And boat rental is definitely NOT cheap. Haiz. And what if I fail? I have to pay back HQ in full I suppose. That's like about $500 in all? Oh dear ... But I'm confident that I can do it.

Some say if one call pull through the A Levels, he/she can definitely breeze through everything else. Maybe? I don't know. Right now, my main concern is $$ (ka-ching). No money, STRESS!

Still waiting for my Sakura International Buffet treat from Bapak. Hmm. Yumm!

And I'm still contemplating if I should take the Diploma in Islamic Studies. It will be good for me. I can teach at part-time madrasahs. It's not about the $$ really. It's more about filling my time up and gaining experience. I not only want a good duniawi(life before death), but also a good ukhrawi (after-life).

So I guess that's it from me right now. I'm kinda bored actually. But I seriously have nothin' more to write and share. Hmm. Visiting nenek later. E-trial test for BTT tomorrow. BTT is next Friday. Stressed? Maybe. Just hope I won't get my Boating theories and Motorcar theories mixed up ...

PS. I wanna go to Candy Empire at Millennia Tower! Need my Wonka bars and jumbo-sized Crunchie!!

Heyys.

Really rushing thru this post. My sister needs the computer. Basically had the time of my life since the last paper. Everyday is packed. Heez. Now I'm on the verge of falling sick. Feeling slightly feverish. Since the camp really. Now trying to gain access onto my e learning for my Basic Theory Test. Basically, my holidays will be occupied with driving lessons, NPCC, shopping, family and ... . How carefree you may say. True. But I still need more time. To learn how to cook and starting to sew my own clothes. Hmm, can start my own fashion line perhaps? Getting some cloth soon I hope. Eager to start making my own blouses. Hee.

Camp was a great experience this time. Did first-aid. Terrible. First camp and it was already that bad. Now I'm considering a weekend job as an outdoor specialist. Hmm. Can become rock climbing instructors. Haa. Can still remember the good old rock climbing sessions we had during PE. Hurr. Altophobia conquered. A great achievement. Yerbs!

Yesterday was AAR. Did a few scoldings. But all I can say is, if I don't scold people now, they'll never learn. NCOs aside, cadets are another big problem. Those with attitude problems but have the passion, those who simply telling white lies, those who are not serious, etc.

Reflecting on this, I can only conclude one thing: I'm finding the younger generations are more matured than I was at their age. And its evident that they are more adversely affected by this wave of Globalisation and especially Americanisation. It can be beneficial. But at the same time, the ramifications can be detrimental.

Well, that's how the world is right now. Paris Hilton forgot her knickers. Now Britney. Soon, the whole world will be knicker-less. THe influence is just too strong.

I'm really praying hard that I will not turn out that way. Call me conservative, orthodox. But heyy, that's the way I want to be. I have the right after all ...

not right ...

Something is still not right. My tagboard is not up yet. Hmm. This is bad. Anybody can help?
