; what's up with 9.11?
it just happened. again.
for the "don't know how many"-th time.
probably the 3rd time in 2 or 3 days. but this happened dozens of times to me.
it's not really that creepy. yet it's strangely coincidental.
so strange that it's kinda scary.
i check the clock at 9.11. be it 9.11am OR pm.
geez.
and yea, it occured to me every single time why this 3 digits are so..mm weird.
but i guess it's probably a routine thingy.
being surrounded by many gadgets..its kinda difficult not to see/check the time.
the latest (that happened today, 9.11pm) was when i clicked the Home button on my ipod touch, while checking to see its charging-status.
just another coincidence. i guess.
; 18feb'10
hiye people (or anybody, i guess)!
yeah, i hardly blog these months (oops). but this is a good reason to!
cos i passed my driving today (: (:
-silent hurray-
the thing is, i felt exceptionally intuitive today, and certain things really proved me right. (that sounds odd, but its true!) let me count thy ways.
1. in the middle of the night, it started raining for a while. i was woken up by it and thought to myself "die..what if it rains during my test?". then i was like, praying..tolong tolong, dont rain okay. after a while, i fell asleep (with much difficulty, i must add).
fact: it rained 3 to 5 minutes before the test. sudden downpour, then it became lighter, then heavy again. gah it was scary. but thankfully, it subsided once i reached my car..barely a few minutes after it started raining. at least it didnt rain heavily throughout the test.
2. while having breakfast, i thought of the song "Replay" by shinee. (:
fact: i usually put my Korean playlist on shuffle mode. today, i did the same. (: no prizes for guessing what song really played first. D:
during the warmup, the instructor (whom i didnt know) was really positive + said i was SO GOOD for everything..circuit & main road. he was rather curious & kept asking me questions i didnt really wanna answer too -.- anyway, i knew he was exaggerating so i just kept an open but positive mind.
anyway, it wasn't as smooth as i wanted. erm..one error really scared me. i didnt expect it at all, as it hadn't happened to me before. (& it was really embarrassing. i shall not say it here. ugh.) lucky it was the last item in the circuit so i left for the main roads soon after. half-thinking that i failed already, but still wanting to do my best.
it was rather quick. i made a few turns, no u-turns at all..(i didnt do e-brake inside the circuit, prolly cos it was wet) then went back to the school. i really thought i had failed by then! D: (on hindsight, i was lucky not to have 'chiong-ed' to turn right while the green arrow flashed. i did an e-brake & stopped in front of the right line though. (yikes. lucky there wasn't any cars behind!) if i did beat the green arrow, i might have failed. geez.
oh well. as ive concluded with melly, i was lucky & he is really nice.
perhaps he didnt do the u-turn with me cos he wanted to stop me from failing. oops.
i really didnt want to pass being 'lucky', but i guess for my silly (& costly error), its the best i can manage. other than the stupid error, i would have gotten a pretty decent score. argh.
ANYWAYS.
thankfully, there wont be a second time for this. i'm glad my nerves did not really get the best of me (:
bottomline is:
never give up and finish the test haphazardly, thinking you've failed, until the results are announced to you.
i must say it was a lucky day for me. i visited the dentist for my braces in the late afternoon. On normal days, 76 comes really slowly & i get very fed up waiting for the bus. but as i was walking and reaching the busstop, 76 came! it was like, the 3rd bus that came in a row.. lucky i managed to catch it. heh.
it was probably a very timely coincidence, but i guess it's nice to believe in these stuff as luck sometimes (:
k, enjoy your weekend ahead <3 <3
p.s i genuinely smiled at the tester when i met him. but i guess he didnt realise that? hahahah.
