Wa-hayy! Only two more weeks of holidays left... then it's back to secondary school for the very last time.
The friggin' internet connection keeps going out on me. I have refreshed the 'Whose Line is it Anyway' videoclips on YouTube four times already. It's my latest addiction. If anyone passes my room and hears maniacal laughter from inside, do not fret. It's just me laughing at four dudes, occasionally three dudes, one dudette, spouting hilarious (if sometimes dirty) roll-over-on-your-stomach jokes. They're geniuses I tell you!
Ah... turns out my brother turned off the modem. :P -Refreshes for fifth time-
This has been a dead blog for a while, because nothing much happened over the holidays, except occasional SPBT work with Ms Koay (fun, fun, fun! O.0) and watching CSI DVDs and of course, Whose Line.
The most eventful thing this hols so far, is me signing up to get my driver's license. As my birthday is in January, my parents thought it easier for me to get all the tedious theory parts out of the way while I am free so I can jump straight to actual driving once I turn 17.
Tedious is right. The first step in this teenager rite of passage is to sit through 5 hours of lectures. The first guy that came in to speak went on describing various road accidents because of careless drivers etc.
-whoops! and there goes the internet connection again!-grrkkksss-refresh, refresh, refresh-
The second guy, was an ex-military man. Needless to say, he was kinda scary. XD What was worse was that he spoke pretty fast and not too clearly. So while you're straining hard to try and decipher what he was saying, he is suddenly staring at you expectantly for an answer to the question you did not hear.
After the lecture, it was time to head home and study the KPP, Kurikulum Pendidikan Pemandu. One and a half weeks later, I headed to the computer centre right opposite Pn Gwee's house to take the computer test. It was pretty late when I got there and there was a whole bunch of people waiting for their turn. So I pretty much spent the time staking-out Pn Gwee's home. :P Whoops!
It was two hours before I got to go in to take the test. I finished the test in 9 minutes (I guess I just wanted to get the heck outta there... :P). Ta-daaa... a nice Saturday morning gone just like that.
One week later, it was time for yet another lecture. Three hours this time. And I had a fit of panic because I was apparently still underage and not supposed to be there. Pfft. And it was that military man delivering the lecture again. Thank goodness I wasn't kicked outta there, and my three hours was logged in officially anyway. -phew-
The conditions for passing the computer test were pretty lenient. But the actual driving test itself sounded pretty tough to me. Or maybe it was just because of the way the lecturer talked about the ways one could fail during the testing in the circuit... :P Either way, I'm pretty nervous.
But there's nothing left to do but wait until my birthday. I can't get my license til' then and duh, I can't get into the driver's seat until then. Ergo, it's back to boredom. Interestingly, it's not from the lack of things to do, it's more of the lack of things I want to do. Yes, every one of us probably remembers our teachers' dire warnings to study during the holidays....
But hey, it's called a holiday for a reason right???
Hyuk, remember Ms Chow's conversation with us after she gave us our absymal Physics marks. I think it went something like this:
Ms Chow: 'W' equals?
-class stumped-
Ms Chow: What lah... cannot even tell me the answer! Watch TV summore lah! Watch that, what ah... Astro On Demand wan... Gem something...
Ee Vern: The Gem of Life?
Ms Chow: Hah! Yes! Gem of Life. See?? What did I tell you? -asks Ee Vern- 'W' equals what?
Ee Vern: Err...
Ms Chow: See lah! I never ask you also, you can tell me Gem of Life! Ask you 'W' equals what also dunno...
Ee Vern: Oh! Mass times gravity!
Ms Chow: Haaahhh. Good. I'm not saying cannot watch TV, but don't watch so much lah. Watch maybe one hour a day will do. Don't be like me, watch Gem of Life back to back episodes all night long wan...
-class starts laughing-
It's memories like these, and when I'm lying on my bed in a trance of pathetic boredom that make me almost wish it was time to go back to school. Almost.
On the bright side, I'll be heading to KL tomorrow to catch Mamamia! the Musical with my mum and aunt and cousin, whom I haven't spent time with in a long time. Looking forward to it!
Til' then. Buh-bye!
