I wanted to blog about my Taiwan and HK trips, but somehow the blogging never started. The HK photos are still "in the midst of uploading to FB". It's not easy to filter 2,800 photos from 2 cameras after all. Pei Shi and I really made full use of our digital cameras. =P
After many months of absence from blogging, my life is, sadly, very much the same as before. Tonight, after watching my daily dose of drama (currently Secret Garden in Korean), I finally gave my blog a little makeover and start to type the first entry after months of missing in action. There's just too much I want to grumble, but I guess those are too mundane and un-interesting. So, I shall tell the story of how I failed my TP test last week (sigh) to whoever has not heard it yet. The story goes like this...
1. Slope > handbrake refused to be released. yaya struggled (both hands) with the handbrake for 5 min while the tester looked on. When the handbrake finally went down, all confidence disappeared and the hands feel numb.
2. Directional change > Tester: your front wheel touched the kerb. yaya: no feeling at all.
3. Parallel Parking > Parked, pulled handbrake, struggled with handbrake for another min, banged kerb while moving out
4. Vertical Parking > Parked too close to the right, did not pull handbrake this time round, but as I turned right out of the lot, the rear right wheel gently mounted the kerb (that's a tick in the full circle)
5. Driving outside> Tester: your outside driving is ok. Practice more in circuit and come back and try again.
Yaya knew all was lost when she finally released the handbrake at the slope. I just didn't expect my circuit to be THAT bad. Sigh. I was probably too gan jiong or too suay. Now totally no mood to even book retest date. Haiz.
6. After test, the sore throat before the test developed into flu, then fever (with accompanying MC), and finally a cough.
Still recovering from No. 6 (physically) and No. 5 (emotionally).
