driving lesson 3 - like a trip to the zoo

this morning i read the chinese newspaper. for 马 , everything was 凶. work, health, wealth, luck. i got a bit scared. i wanted to apply leave for work and just stay at home. haha but then i rationalised. so many ppl whose zodiac is horse, i cant be the dao mei gui. true enough, now im here blogging.. means that i survived the day. haha. so eventful. ok i shall begin

=.= broke record liao. wanna guess how many ppl i met? pls count. my father fetched me to bbdc. on the way, i saw a car plate 5125. i was thinking- oh nice number. yu xuan's father car is this number. my father overtake then i took a look. WA!! guo ran is her father.. next i saw brian/ bryan at bbdc. i dunno how to spell but he is my sis's-friend's-brother. lol i got to know him when i was studying at beauty world mac. then i went toilet. once i stepped out i saw ying xian~~~ who? a nan hua girl. i believe i nv spoken to her b4 in my 4 years there, BUT we still smiled at each other, including another nh guy beside her. HAHA. we are the big nan hua family. oh then i walked towards my car then who i saw? vivien tham. the girl whose b day i mixed up with jew ee. i think she was there with brian. they both from ac..lol. ok lastly i went westmall to eat lunch, i saw miss ong eng dian. luckily she dont know me..

lets calculate the probability of meeting somebody. singapore got 4 million plus plus ppl right? so take it as ( 1/ 4, 000 000 ) ^5. then the chances are really slim. and it seems shen qi how i manage to see so many ppl. but hor rmb conditional probability? the stupid "given that"?- ya the fact that this area is the west+ many of my friends will be learning driving.. so nally. its really not that surprising to see ppl you know. haha

okok backtrack to my driving. today i got the cold instructor. his surname is sum. no smoke smell leh. maybe he fan xing alr.. ahhha anyway i went driving on the road!! cool! my third lesson only im so proud. i changed up to 4th gear and went up to 60km/h. i drove 100m along an expressway as well. haha.. his coldness started as i was driving.

he said this because i didnt check for pedestrians at the zebra crossing.

sum: 你没看斑马 ?
lf: huh?
sum: 斑马线
一定要先看没有斑马

then at the junction

sum: 那里有变色 .
lf: hmm? where
sum:交通灯啦. 因为它会变颜色.

a while later..

sum: 前面有老虎
lf: wait !! this one i know. 马路如虎口 .


haha finally got one. lol. now i blog it doesnt seem funny. but when i was driving i laugh till my car sway left and right then he had to pull my steering wheel for me. on and off he will chat. i guessed correctly he is twenty plus only. dunno how come we talked abt cny. his relatives always ask where is your gf? when you getting married? get hong bao for twenty over years bui pai seh? then he say he always reply: i haven collected enough hong bao. if they continue asking he will say he want to bacome a monk. LOL.

ok i changed my mind. maybe i dont want an ah pei afterall. this instructor sum so entertaining. he is honest too. i almost walk away without realising tt i dropped my hp on the car but he called me back .. heh the 凶 definitely dont apply to me .. oh chiew yin just smsed me. she learning driving too at bbdc. ahh must be my influence. i make driving sound fun ^^ i want to thank jia xin for the card. ( btw, it cost an estimated $2500 to finish the whole driving course at bbdc)
