Yupz, finally made up my mind to learn driving after coming back from U.S. Opps, i 4got to mention tt i set off from san diego on Jun 12, 2006 @ 0650 san diego time, & returned to s'pore on Jun 14, 2006 @ 0100 s'pore time. i'll elaborate more on it when i wrote abt my holis in U.S. & de trips. 4 now, i shall tok on wat happened 2dae.
In fact, i've already made up my mind on learning driving when i was in U.S. After i've been there, i realized how impt it is to noe how to drive. De public transports there were not tt accessible, & most of de time i needed frenz to bring me to some places w/ their cars.
Aniwae, after going to recruit express, i went to bukit batok driving centre to apply 4 learning. I was @ a loss of dunno whether to choose manual or auto. Both de lady @ de info counter & 1 of de instructors, Dave, recommended me to learn auto since it's easier to learn. Besides, there's seldom any gal who needs to drive a van, bus, or taxi, so to them, no use in learning manual.
I really appreciated de help & eagerness of Dave in patiently explaining de procedures & stuff tt i'm not too sure abt. But come to tink of it, apparently he's chee-hong-ing coz he's too helpful. For instance, he told me tt there's supposed to be this tour ard de driving center in 5 mins' time when i was still having my application processed. Then he told me he'll be bringing me ard n explained de things to me instead. Hmm... hopefully i'm juz over-sensitive.
After tt, i went back to Datastream to do some catching up with Jessica, Linda, n Wendy. Thou they were bz, they still stopped wateva they were doing to chat w/ me. Really appreciated it. Too bad i can't go back to work coz they've gotten more than enuf pple - there's temp staff n intern. I oso felt upset tt there goes my $9/hr. Afterall, how many companies can afford to give de temp staff tt much $$?
Seemed lyk lotsa things happened over there. Paul, de finance director, has resigned, the company was juz bought over by another company, many old faces disappeared from the co. & new faces appeared, & de office is gonna shifted to anson rd. Luckily de Wendy, Jessica, & Linda were still as usual, bz lyk bees. Really had quite a long chat with them, & thx Linda 4 looking after my jacket 4 me when i was away.
After tt, i went to int'l plaza to patronize de recruitment agencies there. As usual, i took a lift all de way up to de 36th floor & walked down level by level to make sure tt i wun miss any agency there. Of cuz, @ de end of de day my feet were swollen, but tt's no choice.
I was chatting w/ Jason online, & had a really hard time persuading him to go fencing this coming thurs. When i told him abt learning driving, even he oso thought tt i shld learn manual. Afterall, i can drive both types if i learn manual. So, i went to call de driving center asking 4 de switch from auto to manual. De pple there asked me to bring a letter stating tt i wanna switch, & asked me to prepare 84 bucks as enrollment fee. They said tt they'll return me de $$ in cheque so there wun be double pmt. So funny & troublesome. But they said coz they'll take it as i enroll into de course as of de next day onwards when when de switch is made. But aniwae, dunno whether i can manage manual or not. & worse still, Jason juz brought me a news, saying tt bbdc has de lowest rate of having pple passing de 1st time. Haiz, tink i'm gonna be doomed this time round.
Hopefully everything goes well 4 me...
