Looking back at my driving log, the first time I started learning how to drive a car was on 25-Aug 06. It was a black Honda Civic. The best car that exist in Ubi private instructors. (And I only got to know during my first TP that it's more difficult to pass due to the bigger turning radius of the vehicle. cos the Ubi's circuit is made for pussy cars like Vios) $1600 spent, 3 pieces of PDL, over a period of 1 year. I finally got my Class 3 driving license on 13-Aug on my 3rd attempt. 10 demerit points, proud to say that only 2 was deducted on the road. The fault was stated in the paper as, "Failure to signal in good time." The tester was an impatient fella. knn raised his voice at me to overtake the car beside me nabei I dun need to confirm safety before proceeding meh? and for wat fuck signal so early? zZz lucky i kept my cool and remembered someone who reminded me to "Yes sir" no matter what happens..

My 3rd piece of PDL was renewed on 1-Aug my bday. 13 days-old and it became a useless piece of paper liao. going to pay another $25 soon for another piece of PDL. This time will be for Class 2B. Please, no more renewal. 3 months - I'm going to plaster my license card.

Officially turned 21 on 1-Aug. I think this day is only worth celebrating when u know you have achieved something in your life. But I seriously don't think many people has done that after living 20 complete years, especially in Singapore. Just look back at your life - How many years were spent drinking milk, playing your early years away, watching senseless cartoons, making your parents angry by coming home late. Maybe the best thing you had done was studying and getting good grades. And there you are, happy as can be, more than 1/4 of your life gone.

I look back at my life, nothing achieved at all. The best I could do for my parents was getting good grades and not wasting their money and effort on their only child. But I did not deliver. My mother kept reminding that money weren't easy to earn, but I still spent it like water. She kept reminding me to get good grades so that I can get into a good Uni, but I spent time during lectures sleeping, time after school playing squash, sleeping, roaming in Tampines Mall.

Perhaps the best I've done was choosing to go Guards during army. The hardship I suffered finally woke me up. I realised that was the hardest thing I've done in my life. 18 years spent in the comfort zone expecting people to provide for you.


The song goes, "ORD, back to study~"
I wasn't sure if I could. So I entered the workforce for 6 months. 4 months spent on one job. Makes me realise how difficult it is to earn money. I worked hard, but it was nothing compared to what my mother has done over the past 25 years for the family. Just for a better tomorrow.

At this very moment, my life is complete. I'm studying hard for a degree, learning how to do business, filling my time with meaningful stuff. I have my mother who is always giving her unconditional love for me, friends who will be there for me when I need them, and a girl who I love very much.

Time. I am going to have a race with you.
