instructor: have you had any driving experience?
me: no.
instructor: okay.
instructor: do you have any idea how to drive a car?
me: i don't even play daytona.
i had my first driving lessons this afternoon. i wasn't feeling nervous or scared. i didnt woke up going all dramatic like "eeks! im gonna be in the driver's seat today!" or something like that.
so basically, he just taught me what a first lesson should be taught. the basic knowledge of the inside of the car, how to move off, stop and reverse.
then we switched seats and i said a prayer. hahaha.
anyway, i had practices to move forward, stop, reverse, move forward, stop, reverse, stop and so on. it was actually pretty cool. though the gear was hard at first to move around. must be my skinny hand.
then. he brought us to the circuit itself. omg. and we switched seats again and told me to just make a few rounds around the circuit, just turning that's all.
we turn and turn and turn and turn. then he told me to make a turn around a junction, and i did.
him: wah! steady ah! very good!
he sounds so funny when he said that. ahahah. he also said that my control on the steerling wheel is very good and he hadn't taught me that and that was supposed to be lesson 2!
him: like that, i can pass you on your steerling wheel and save you $60.
i am soooo jumping to lesson 3!!!!
so off i went to book 2 more lessons. i didn't booked anymore lessons before i was short on cash. no financial support from dad. and mcdonalds.
but this happened a few days ago. i was still begging asking my dad to support me on getting meself a laptop.
dad: no need la! i would rather support you driving than getting a laptop.
=) i'm happy to be rejected on getting a laptop for free driving lessons.
i'm feeling good about that.
baby! here i come!

been working very hard for the past 6 days.
therefore, by the time i reach home, i would have been exhausted and hungry. and i would want to go online and check emails.
but no, things just had to go awry.
the next day, it rained. it rained cos i was sad. and pissing mad.
i think that's the price i had to pay for working everyday. with each day clocked in to work, i lost precious time with the family.
its much more tiring dealing with dumb ass customers.
a customer came over to the counter where me and my fren were just talking. he looked at me and shouted his order.
customer: GIVE ME ONE SMALL CAPPUCINO!
me:OKAY!!!!!
and i know i was damn tired when i said something to a customer this evening.
me: okay, you'll get a seat first and i'll get your other drink send to you. oh, and i owe you 40 seconds.
i meant to say 40 cents.
but i didn't just deal with customers for the past week.
rats.
and for the first time in 3 years, i saw my first rat, just 2 metres away from me.
and it was fucking big.
i screamed and just on top of the counter. hyperventitale for a few seconds and continued to make the customer's drink with me seating on the counter top.
i'm telling you, the rat was hugeee, fat. and eeeeeee. it appeared out from under and made a fast u-turn around to where it came from.
it was shocking.
whats more shocking is this morning.
the traps had been laid and i asked my fren to sweep the floor. and i told her not to sweep under the counter since there are traps in there. she went on the floor and looked inside. she got up, looked at everyone and smiled.
fren: it's there, upside down, stuck, legs still moving.
what did i do? i stepped back and froze. then when they tried to bring it out, i ran for my life.
from what i was told, they described it to me as a small rat.
me: then that's not the fat rat i saw the other day. it's still on the loose.
anyway, enough about work.
after the whole fiasco at home with the computer and how the sibs are prioritising computer games, anime fanfictions and look at girls friendster pages over my 1 hour usage of the computer simply to check emails just in case anyone replied back to my resume and look for a stable job, it's finally time to get myself a laptop.
that way, i can do my work peacefully. i can surf without any interruptions. i can watch videos/movies whenever i want. i can study for my driving online whenever i want.
so girls, meaning noi and syarah. can accompany me go laptop searching? im clueless on going about looking for a good deal. but especially a good laptop for me. i have my eye on this one model, but we shall see ya? can? can? say wednesday?
oh no, wait wednesday i work. see what i mean? hmm, but still, can follow me? =]

yesterday at work.
i squatted down and opened the cupboard door to look for the receipt roll. my fellow colleague turned around suddenly from the espresso machine behind me and bumped into me. in her hand was a cup of hot cappucino.
and its content fell all over my head.
now i have every right and authority to truly and honestly say that my head was on fire.
so i screamed and ran out of the cafe into mcdonalds' kitchen and started soaking my head with cold water. for a while, my forehead was so red that people thought my eyebrows were burnt off.
obviously, i'm still breathing and kicking to be writing this experience here. all i can say is that i think the coffee may have erased all my potential pimples off my forehead forever.
