the four right chords can make me cry

I arranged for my first driving lesson!!! I start on Saturday, with a private instructor cos I can't afford a school. I really hope I pass the first time, cos I don't have the money to make it second or third (heaven forbid!) time.

Quick update:
1) The owwie on my finger has finally formed a layer of dried blood which means I don't need a plaster to keep to germs out anymore. Go blood clotting mechanism!
2) I stubbed my little toe and half the nail came off. It hurts. And I developed a peculiar walk at work today to ease the pain. Just now I gingerly pulled the last bit of it off. Still hurts, but less.

Aren't I terribly injury prone.

On Sunday after sitting and watching the guys play pool (see timo's blog for his side of the story) I met an old secondary school friend on the bus. It was our class macho-man; Zhongwei! He's in OCS (no surprise there); but he revealed to me that Linus got into OCS too! And he was the best in platoon somemore!!! Incredible.

Actually, Zhongwei was one of the people that I totally forgot was in my class. I only remember Hwee Zi, Clemence, Linus, Joyce, Meiqi, Huishan, Weihao, Fan Wenqing, Fiona, Szewei, Eugene Lim and of course, the infamous Eugene Quek. Meeting Zhongwei reminded me of all the other ppl I spent 2 years with but left no lasting impression, like Ian, Qiao Yang, Yan Bing (if that was his name), Justin, and others whose names I can no longer bring to memory.

Wait a tick! Found me school photos! Zhonghua Secondary School - Secondary 4E3 (2001) ACK! So many people I forgot!!! Oops, and his name is Ke Bin, not Yan Bing.

I think I look exactly the same now as I did then. I DO look cute in a pinchable-cheeks kind of way (which was what alot of people did to me back then, i'm begining to recall). Eyes still small. And I still look blur and toot, with messy hair most of the time. Well, hair is shorter now.

I don't really miss those days. I was much more anti-social back then, and had alot of baggage. I like the now me better than the then me.

On another note, younger brother had eventful day, but i'm not allowed to discuss it. Heh. Let's just say he's a black eyed peas fan and while he didnt get to go to the concert tonight, he showed his pride in other ways. HEH.

To mandy, I'm just glad that I could make you feel better! It made my day to make your day, and I love helping you whenever I can so don't mention it!
