An Exciting March : The Third Day(FINAL)

Another day, another JPJ TEST going on in Sungai Dua (okay, not reaaaly another day, just another, EXCITING MARCH day . xD

Today was faster than usual, as I was there for only Bhg 3 of the car.

Before starting the Bhg2 for the freshies(Bhg3 already started and was going on), a small prep talk was given by the JPJ tester, none other than the guy who failed me last time! Haha, no grudges man, no worries xD.

While he was doing the talk, they called out "Nombor 6! Nombor 6! Joshua! Joshua John Samuel!" Okay, my turns up!

After Number 4 went, I just waited there again.
Number 4 came back in the passengers seat (the unspoken sign of failure on the test) so I was kinda nervous (person before Number 4 too failed)

Went along the route, driving carefully, and in 12 minutes, scored 17/20 marks!

Phew, as March nears an end, the end has already dawned upon my driving school days, a graduate is me! =D

An Exiting March : 2nd day

Haha, March 15th, another JPJ test day!

This time I would be doing both car AND motorcycle.

The word of the day is waiting.

Waiting for the motorbike Bhg3 only : 2 hours.

Did see some nice wipeouts though...I still don't get how some people can flip their bike wheels skyward on the narrow bridge....doing that with the Virago would be murder xP.

Finally! My turns up!
*the satisfying soung of the bike starting up and engine idling*
*clutch and gear 1*

Remember the Previous posts Diagram? Here it is again!


Yep, waiting 2 hours to do 2 minutes of Harley Davidson-esque driving xD
Anyway, I passed!

After that, another wait for the car Bhg 2...

Waiting , waiting


Finally 2 hours later (12-ish)

Bhg2 Test Time!

Hill- Probably the scariest part of the whole Bhg2 went without a hitch. Yellow line, Hand brake, Hand Up, accelerando, and voila!
Parking and three point turning-Easy! Hakunamatata =D

Waiting , waiting

Two moar hours (2:30-ish)

"Nombor 71 ! Nombor 71!"

Okay, my turn!

*standing there while noticing that examiner is taking some time explaining something to the guy inside the car that just finished (I'm no lip reader, but I assume he's explaining how that guy failed?)

Outta the school(in the car) !
Over to the corner(in the car)!
Getting outta the turn (in the car)!
Into the junction (in the car)!
Lady walks in front of me (out of the car(she was) ) !
Examiner steps on his brake pedal (in the car)!
And then I get pulled over (Outta the car (He says) )!
And then I get back to the school! (in the car)
DU du du du du du dum

But yeah, 2hours + 2hours + 2hours = 6hours of waiting to be failed in....*drum roll*
.... 2 minutes! xP

HAiz, another day to go then....

March 4 - B License
Done procastinating with this license and have finished it in hmm....1 year 4 months(give or take)

Sat on the bike feeling slightly nervous (mind you, my license class only had two riders that day)

Figure 8-Easy enough, went in circles 4 times (1 and a half full 8's)
Narrow Bridge- This was amazing. went onto the bridge, nearly fell off at first but managed to straighten the bike(somehow) before slowly transversing the bridge(required time: 7sec, Me: 10sec :D)
Cones and Emergency Brake-No sweat! Easy as pie? haha, even aced the sharp turn after the emergency brake part, felt good about that.
Bhg3, "Road" Test- [diagram]



Yea, straight line and two turns, what could go wrong?
Doing hand signals before moving : 1 point
Going over Bumpy area : 1 point
Turning : 1 point
Stopping WAY BEFORE "TAMAT" sign : priceless
Okay, not WAY before, but about half a bike? That failed me. =(

Singapore

Yeah, this is 2 days late..but haha, only managed to get proper internet connection now..:)

SIngapore...well, landed at night, 9-ish on December 30th...
Took the MRT..had some trouble on that..apparently you just have to click on your destination and not worry of the connecting trains...RIding the train in itself is free in that sense :)

Went to the wrong YMCA Hotel..xD

Spent an hour walking through Orchard Road at night...THats something everyone has to see....Orchard Road after Christmas at night! Beatiful...Sadly no pics tho...:(

Taxi's are quite cheap(comparably according to my Aussie cousin) and we took a 30min drive to the hotel.

Haha..the old receptionists were quite angry at us for checking in this late (it is 12 midnight now)

What else? Have a nice sleep and breakfast the next day :)... American All-You-Can-Eat Buffet :P.. bacon and eggs!

Took a free shuttle service to Orchard Road from the Hotel, and walked there for a while. Lotsa shopping malls side by side compared to Penang, went to er....Ion Mall or something...:P..the breeze outside the mall was nice and bought a cheap film camera to take pictures! SGD30.00 o.o ...

Haha...took the MRT back to airport, was a fun trip.

Got our bags and went to check-in for Perth flight..lotsa Whiteys' xD(Yea, sounds racist, but somehow lots of Irish accent sounding white people were going to Perth..perhaps that's Australian accent?)

Changi Budget Airport was quite nice (save for the strict security and their people).

BOarded to Perth...5 hours on a pressurized metal can flying 35,000 feet high at 200 knots? Haha..not sure of the speed..

Read a book, tried to sleep, drank a sip of water, rinse and repeat...until we landed at Perth.

More later!

YAY

Haha..havent been here in a long time....
Letsseee....

8 "Subjects" (16 papers?) have been done..:D
2 "Subjects" (6 moar papers) have yet to be done..:S
YAY..tomorrow Physics :D
NEXT week...
WOOTS!
Chemistry...:D

Week after that..
CAMP! :D
I've yet to pay for that XD//

Fingerpicking is awesome..:D
Probably post some up later, christmas carols.
Who knows? Album anybody?

I'm ending here.This dot.This tithe.Nah, just kidding..

Coffee on my mind,
So very fine,
Coffee in a cup,
Clears up the dark,
Coffee on my desk,
Is just a pain in the ***,
To clean up,
And to waste my time,
Instead of studying,
Im going coffee'ing :D

Haiku :D
I really love some coffee
Coffee is nice
Someone make me coffee

Ok..im stopping here..REALLY.














Nah. :D

Codename : ABRSM

Woohoo! Finally finished the exam this morning!
Grade 8 is conquered!

Haha, went for the exam in the morning, fingers sweaty and heart racing...what more, my piano teacher was there which meant me probably getting scolding later AFTER the exam XD//

It was ok, thank God the examiner didn't ask me C/G sharp minors in the major 6th scales (technical stuff). It was ok, until...

"Okay Joshua, I would like a E Whole Tone scale"
"Okay...*about to press the keys when*"
(In my mind)
What the heck?! Whole tone isn't even in the syllabus =.=
"Sir, co-could y-you repeat that?"
"E WHOLETONE scale"
.....luckily I learnt a whole tone scale the day before....

Songs were okay, until the second song, which was 7 pages long...
*playing the song, midway*
"Joshua, can we stop there, I heard enough, and this IS a long song"
Later, teacher told me either I played REALLY good or REALLY bad, the latter not being the case as I kept tempo.....this time :D

Oral exam
I really don't wanna talk about this cause this is not my musical strong point...Anyway, I kinda did better than last year(yes, this is a second take on the same exam)...

haha, praying to God and I'll not fail this time :D

Friends...XD

Haha...me trying to act human for once (the emotional side) :D....here goes;

I love going deep into thought when I have nothing better to do, and when I go deep into thought, its something like being emo, but not emo ( I don't start cutting myself or start death metalling or stuff, :D)

I was thinking of all the nonsense I did this year, and I was thinking about my friends whom faced quite a big bunch of my nonsense....

I thank you for sticking by and by, and for tolerating my nonsense....although, it's highly unlikely that I'm stopping anytime soon :D//

Haha....A new post for ya people//

Thanks once again.
