人生无一切完美，往往会对自己生活的各个领域产生不满意之处。这种种不满，有些是自己能够控制的，有些则是认天由命，束手无策。起着完美主义的我也对自己多许不满，希望有朝一日能够填补生命中的这些瑕疵。

4· 身体不够壮，瘦小身躯还囤积碍眼肥肉
5· 没养成健康习惯～饮食与运动方面欠缺
6· 不懂得与人socialize，社交圈子小
7· 胆小怕事，从小强到出门见识见识都怕
8· 没固定兴趣与嗜好，也没有什么过人之处
9· 斤斤计较的吝啬鬼，钱进口袋很难再出来

Random Day 12/09/08
The new stockcheck directive is so stupid! I spent the entire morning reading it and came out to the conclusion that its gonna make my life more difficult. Anyway, i did my first monthly stockcheck that is keyed into the system. The previous ones that i do were manual hand written ones so they werent really officer. Going back to camp tml for duty so i will continue from where i stop today.
Before dinner i went to the ATM to cash deposit my tuition fee earnings. Then i brought my new pair of grey coloured jeans which i bought a week ago at J8 bossini to AMK hub bossini alter. Its a free service anyway so why not make full use of it. Then went to NTUC to top up on my tibits supply to be brought into camp. Oh well, it will be 3 consecutive weekends burnt from now. At least its gonna make me save some money i hope.

Driving Test
After 5 months of practical lessons, its finally the day for me to reap what I sowed. And yes, its my driving test today ! Specially took a day off for this major event in my life. I started developing signs of stress such as diahorrea, stomach cramps and even fever one week ago with the condition escalating just yesterday when i felt weak throughout that i cant even climb out of bed. I wonder if these were just the product of my stress or i am really contracted with gastroenteritis.
I woke up this morning feeling the cramps in my stomach again. Damn. I looked out at the window praying that it will not be a rainy day...well its partly cloudy, as per my wish. I basically did nothing the entire morning even though i thought i may hit the pool for a swim, however gave myself the excuse of not wanting to tire my legs out during the test. I was emotionally feeling normal, or at least i tried to remain calm and normal. 11.30am, i walked out of my habitat and bought lunch at subway. I did not have breakfast. It could be due to the gastroenteritis again that i've lost my appetite.
After lunch, i slacked for a while longer and then took a bath before leaving for the driving centre. I reached at 2.30pm for my warm up session. I was one of the few early ones. The warm up session was okay, no major gross errors, it was rather a smooth one. I hope my test would proceed as smoothly, i prayed. Then the SSDC instructor brought me up to level 3 to wait where i waited for the examiners to claim us.
The wait was a rather long one, it makes my heart beat faster, then came the examiners who briefed everyone about the test. Computer balloting of testroutes and instructors gave me test route 8. Upon knowing i was to do test route 8, my heart sank. "Shit!" i said inside me. Its the shortest but most difficult test route of all - lane changing across 2 major roads with heavy traffic (AMK Ave 6 and Ave 5) with a very sharp u-turn of no stopline ! I knew i was done for it.
I followed the fierce-looking instructor down to the car i warmed up earlier on and then started out with the circuits. I was calmer than I thought i would be. Everything was smooth until i hit the roads. The examiner lambasted me at how slow i drove in this kinda road condition where every car is speeding for their life. Then he asked me to made a uturn infront (which was not the designated ones). Then i recalled what my friends said - dont memorise test routes, the examiners may not follow through the entire course. At this point, i analysed that i either drove too lousily or had one immediate failure that the test process must be cut shot so as not to waste time, or that my driving was okay and there isnt need for further assessment.
Nonetheless, as i tried to remain optimistic and returned to the circuit, just before i was about to turn into the gate, this pedesterian appeared from nowhere wanted to cross the gate but i did not notice her fast enough to slow down and merely just turn in. SHIT !!! I thought to myself, there goes many many points. Its that kinda mistakes you never wish you would have committed, or at least bumped into by chance during your test.
As my car pulled to a halt, i followed the tester into the room at level 3 waiting for my results. I was, again, suprisingly not feeling very panic or anxious, i was just, calm. With the results slip in his hand, he lambasted at me again for how i never hit gear 4 at the major roads outside and how i did not slow down for that lady pedestrian (curse her!!!) and then he handed me this...
I did not feel elated or relief upon receiving this when i saw the demerit points. As you can guess, I merely scraped through the test. I hid the demerit pts part so as to avoid gloating from others. I know its something not worth celebrating. If not for that cursed pedestrain that poped out from nowhere i could have scored MUCH better, she cost me 8 points!!! Damn, at least i passed, but sadly and disapointedly, a borderline one.
After coming out of the examiner office, filled with guilt and self blame, i was made to watch this 7 min long video on road safety and then queued for more than half an hour to register my license card. Because the pass will take a month or so to be made, i temporarily received this that certifies me legal to drive:

After the big woohaa that happened in the driving centre, i walked to AMK Hub where i spent $13 bucks on the probationary plate:
Well, at least i can drive my father's car from now. At least i passed.

Jeans + Mooncake Fairs
I bought a pair of grey colour jeans this afternoon which cost me $39 (original price $46 but i borrowed my sis' popular bkshop card which gave me 15% discount). I initially set aside $70 to buy John Mcmurry's Organic chemistry reference book but i've spent part of it on this pair of jeans. Well its the colour that i've been looking for, for quite some time, hence the opportunity cost of this pair of jeans will be the reference book. Guess i'll have for Sept pay day to gather enough money for that book.
Recently noticed the prevalence of mooncake fairs appearing at almost every single shopping mall in Singapore in celebration for the coming mid autumn festivals. I've visited Parco bugis, Takashimaya, J8, AMK Hub, Tampines Mall, etc and there were mooncake fairs in each and every of them. Surprisingly, the similarity of these fairs are that those participating retailers came from the same few top notch hotels like Marriot, Swissotel The Stamford, Orientol, Goodwood Park, etc. While the mooncakes on sales are largely similar, the eye catching part happens to be their packaging of mooncakes, getting more and more luxurious and delicate. Those traditional metal boxes used to store 4 mooncakes in the past were no longer in fashion now as the different retailers came out with their unique plastic/paper/cardboard boxes of striking colours and patterns that one would not bare to throw them away after consuming the mooncakes. It seemed like the various retailers are competing in terms of packaging than the mooncakes itself.

Wall E
Went to watch Wall E at The Cathey with Nel yesterday after work. Basically braved the rain while i made my way to the MRT where i caught a train down all the way to Dhoby Ghout. Was in a rush due to late last parade. The show was nice, overall. It is a rather family orientated cartoon which touched on topics like environment issues and also pure simple love. I love the cuteness of Wall e when he interact with Eva throughout the entire film. The scene started off with Earth being overwhelmed by rubbish and waste that it is no longer sustainable for life. The entire human race went onboard on a Multinational company branded spaceship that brought them to space to live for the next 700 years. Wall E the only surviving robot left on Earth was attracted to Eva who came to Earth to explore and search for plants and liveform. They eventually fell in love and Wall E tracked all its way to the spaceship when Eva was deactivated and brought back upon the discovery of a surviving plant. Back in the spaceship, the captain was surprised by the discovery of lifeform in Earth and wanted to head back home while it battled the "evil" computer generated advisor who suggests remaining in space. Eventually human beings were brought back to Earth with the aid of Wall E and Eva and they started learning how to lead a Earthing human life. It gave me an apocalyptic feeling at the end of the firm when human beings so used to technology in the outerspace and once belong to earth, had to relearn how to survive in earth like making fire and farming just like their first ancestors of the caveman era. I love how they inject humour and cuteness into the robots, specifically wall e, eva and the cleaner who cleans foreign-detected dirt. At large, i strongly recommand this film for all to watch, be it in the cinemas or at home "pirately" downloaded.
