Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.
Dale Carnegie
in a rather good mood today=)
1) for once he didn't scream at me for the entire 2 hrs I was at the wheel. his assortment of ,"ahh, 很好" and "good!" took me by surprise. LOL. actually i was surprised at myself. i think i overcame my phobia of turning and gripping the wheel too tightly, hence leading to my smoother driving today. maybe it was the boost of self-confidence I gave myself and the sugar rush before i went for the lesson =P. anyhow i hope this streak continues =)
2) might be going to buy a laptop tomorrow! went with sis to suntec for the PC fair and there are already omg freaking people mountain people sea there on a fri afternoon! =X. will discuss with dad and go down there tomorrow? but i'm quite sure I won't buy a laptop cooler that CAN PLAY MUSIC =D
3) there's tuition tomorrow! okay isn't something to be very happy about coz it means working, but hey it's a source of income to pay for my driving lessons. payday tomorrow!=)
4) last but not least, no irritating tps to entertain today! =D. and i have an uber long holiday from today(fri) to mon. might be going shopping on mon. need a new pair of shoes =P
花---五月天
这一声 这一次 为自己 抬起头
至少要 骄傲的 盛开过
就狂舞如果吹狂风
就等待放晴的天空
如果雨越下越大 节奏就更猛
当风雨 都过去 迎着风 看天空
不放弃 才能够 有感动
这一生 这一次 为自己 抬起头
至少要 骄傲的 盛开过
有谁能听到我心脏
有谁能听到我绽放
谁能谁懂谁听见
也于是来自四方
当风雨 都过去 迎着风 看天空
不放弃 才能够 有感动
这一生 这一次 为自己 抬起头
至少要 骄傲的 盛开过!
a very nice happy upbeat song by mayday=)

The Menacing Glare
my instructor told me i have a MENACING GLARE. he was screaming at me for releasing clutch too soon and causing the car to jerk forward, and i got pissed off at his saliva spitting all over the place so i turned and stared at him.
then he KEPT QUIET for like twenty seconds.
then he said," your stare is quite scary..."
ROFLMAO!
and i swear driving a manual car will improve your standing broad jump. i held down the clutch for like 10 minutes in a row while waiting to freaking U-turn and my knee nearly cramped up while driving. LOL. felt like the effect of doing too many alternate leg thrusts and chicken backside exercises. seriously =P
was sorta distracted today though. for reasons unknown to myself as well (lack of sleep?=P) unlike studying or working, if you know you are distracted, you can afford to take a 5 min break to regain your concentration. not so for driving. you space out for 20 seconds and good game to your life.
think my driving has improved considering the quantity and intensity of his screaming has decreased. Significantly. LOL. hmm. i realise i still have a certain distrust of cars. kinda foolish to entrust your life to some machine that can't think for itself. actually i don't really trust things that can think for itself too =P. like humans.
Not that i'm naturally distrustful or something. but putting your trust in the wrong person at the wrong time for the most important things can turn out to be disastrous. so for such stuff, i depend on myself. at least if i fail, i can't blame anyone but myself for the lack of effort.
on a totally random note, watched game 3 of the nba finals and was super disappointed in kobe's performance. if not for his 5 missed free throws, the lakers will be 1 win away from the championship sia. he needs to WAKE UP HIS IDEA!
落叶归根---王力宏
词曲：邝裕民 王力宏
举头望无尽灰云
那季节叫做寂寞
背包塞满了家用
路就这样开始走
日不见太阳的暖
夜不见月光的蓝
不得不选择寒冷的开始
留下只拥有遗憾
命运的安排
遵守自然的逻辑
谁都无法揭谜底
远离家乡
不甚唏嘘
幻化成秋夜
而我却像落叶归
根坠在你心间
几分忧郁 几分孤单
都心甘情愿
我的爱像落叶归根
家
唯独在你身边
但愿陪你找回
所遗失的永恒
当我开口 你却沉默
只剩一场梦
我却像落叶归根
坠在你心间
几分忧郁
几分孤单
都心甘情愿
我的爱像落叶归根
家
唯独在你身边...
recorded this song on audacity and modified certain components. realised that my mid-range notes have the wrong placement. too nasal. need to practise my mid-range to get a nicer sounding voice =P a warmer, deeper, more 'backward' voice. if you get wat i mean.=X

rants and loves
The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.
Paul Valery
have been sleeping late and waking up early recently. seems like a vicious cycle to me. just can't seem to sleep early these days. and unlike what mum guessed(which most of the time happens to be wrong =P), it isn't coz of some random problem that's bugging me. it's the ABNORMAL CRAZY HEAT THAT IS GONNA KILL US ALL. zzz.
and the unholy chronic headache is back. with a freaking vengeance. strikes every year at this time between june to august. like the la nina and el lino waves, every year it returns to give me hell. jeez. maybe it's just something wrong with my brain.=P
kinda out of sorts at work today. and got some crazy callers. seriously bth.
Example One
"there are white spots on my TV. i think lightning strike my house antenna last night. how??"
ROFLMAO.
Example Two
"it's not fair it's not fair it's not fair it's not fair (multiplied by infinity)"
(not happy plz call police. my eardrums can't take your nonsense you know)
Example Three
"you sure you can ah? you sure you can help me reinstate? you sure you can...?"
HANAR HANAR CAN HELP YOU LA WHAT ELSE YOU WANT!
GRR.
okay enough ranting.
suddenly went back to my 'roots' to listen all my chinese orchestrian music =D. quite effective as a mood-lifter sia. 泰山頌 - 日出,遠望,松濤, 攀登 and 台湾追想曲and 奋勇前进. soothes me the way classical music soothes most people.
maybe i'll join back CO in nus? *ponders*
*you thought, i think, who confirm?*

what if? if not? SO WHAT?
I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar.
Robert Brault
people like to ask too many 'what if's' and 'if nots'. generally these tend to be regrets.
why can't we ask 'so what' ? so what if it does? so what if you get it? is it really going to make a difference?
is it even going to matter at all?
i used to not care, living the carefree, happy go lucky life of mine. not so possible now i guess.
我还想她---林俊杰
作詞：邢增華 作曲：林俊杰
我不爱 我不痛 我不懂
我的心早已掏空
真心话 言不由衷
请告诉她 我不爱她
笑着难过 自我惩罚
想终止这一切挣扎
横了心 说真心谎话
别告诉她 我还想她
恨总比爱容易放下
当泪水堵住了胸口
就让沉默 代替所有回答...
just a random sad song from jj's latest not-so-great album. but hey his song writing has never been under doubt =) lyricist is a random unknown person, but his lyrics are.....heart-wrenching and sad. normally emotional songs make me feel happier, but this one makes me feel worse...LOL.
