licence is 1 yr old!! happy birthday to my $50!!

its possibly the most valuable $50 i have ever spent.... this $50 brought me 1 of the happiest things in my life... w/o it i would nv been able to get summer rain. i passed my TP 1 yr ago on 20 May 2005. so, my licence is 1 yr old liao.... time flies.... now can take out the 2 nice triangles on summer rain liao. hehe. no more being bullied and condemned by other "experienced" drivers...... really want to thank Mr Peter Fong although he will never ever read this webpage..... he is my super slack and lazy driving instructor who guided me to a 1st time pass. always wanna go toilet and/or go buy coffee in the middle of my lesson. den always kay siao ask me want to drink anot.... u say slack anot? always start the lesson late cos he chit chat with his frenz or eat, yes thats right, EAT, when my slot has already started.... den always read newspapers or wear his shades and relak totally when i driving.... and at the end of it all, always end the lesson early!! but i feel that he is capable la, can somehow teach me the basics of driving...... den always say those funny expressions like "brother" and "chiong ah!!", motivating me to drive welll. but those little little tricks he nv teach one, leave to the old uncle Tan taking his honda cibic to teach me. that time his mum passed away, den he left me in the hands of Tan, who taught me all the tricks Peter failed to teach in the 3 or 4 lessons with me. Tan is more patient and more hardworking, but abit lor sor.... but at least he nv eat snake or eat my time.... got 1 time he din eat lunch and dinner due to packed schedule cos all Peter's students go to him and he has his own students as well. he still ask me for permission to stop awhile for him to buy things... really nice chap. in circuit he wun go out and tok kok wif the other instructors, instead he will stay in the car and guide me. den always tell me those little little things to help me in my driving. anway, really miss those kan chiong sunday afternoons at CDC, hehe.... the frustration when i si cheah (stall engine) and the happiness when i complete 1 session smoothly. and den the sadness when i finish the session and den realise i gotta book in at nite....

but i nv expected to be able to own a car so fast.... always tot i would get one when i start working.... in a sense its a dream come true la... as my dad says. i still remember May 20, 2004. really kan chiong man that day was my TP test date. during the practice warm up session wif Peter i still strike curb man. Peter was like "there goes ur licence..." disgusting..... summore i sway sway got the test route which included the u turn at Eunos. that means cutting 3 lanes to the right to u turn and den cutting 3 lanes back again. the traffic there is super heavy and frankly i feel that ubi is very difficult to pass. luckily during the circuit nothing happened all soon sooon...... gave me confidence to tackle the test route outside. i think the tester was quite ok.... looked fierce and all but din make any noise and even called me to cut here and there both inside the circuit and outside.... definitely nerve-wracking but luckily all went well for me... phew. really thank my lucky stars that nothing happened during the circuit and the tester wanted me to chop chop finish the route outside...

maybe im juz plain lucky, but i passed my basic and advanced and TP all 1st time and spent $949 in all. quite cheap compared to school though i must say the dates were long... i feel that the test depends on both luck and skill. if i were to take the TP test again, i cant guarantee i will pass it.... so anyway, must learn to treasure my licence and drive safely although im quite reckless and full of patterns.... well, muz thank W for introducing Peter to me. Though im 1 of the last among my frenz to remove the triangles, i still made it through..... hope everybody will drive happily and safely....

2 months 2 days old

wah so fast 2 months liao. been super duper shiok owning a car. love summer rain to bits.... brought so much convenience and fun although spent a huge sum..... i think its worth it la. at least its there for me to use and admire everyday. heeee................ although many people will think im crazy......

hope nothing major will go wrong. (*touch wood) anyway i just spent the morning doing the tinting. super duper cheap at $170 nia. i was prepared to spend $230-250 before i got to know this guy...... super friendly and mou-tak-teng service. haha anybody wanna do tinting?? i will ji tao recommend him. his name is benson and his shop is at Paya Ubi called Tintmaster. workmanship is tiptop and quality should be decent la. for that price, arbo cannot expect V-Kool right? V-Kool need $1300-1400 leh. this is like 12-13% of the price nia. can liao la, do V-Kool for wad, summer rain also not mercedes. even if is mercedes also can spend the $$ elsewhere doing other things. anyway the tinting is done in aircon environment and the guys quite professional. so i feel its money well spent. he even call his guy to fix the visors for me after they finished the tinting even though i din even mention about it. now THAT"S service......

so now left the bonnet scoop undone. as well as the dent in front. sorry ah, summer rain.... i din mean to be so KOK!!! dun worry i will patch it up....... weekend din really see much of my number plate. too bad. if not will immediately do chrome plate liao.....hehe. i still thinking whether to spray the scoop...... and the accessories shop said they still haven got the spoiler for me... darn it must wait how long?? im wondering if the guy twa me. if so, im gonna get from subaru club liao..... now if white spoiler, must spray scoop. if black spoiler, no need. so everything depends on the spoiler liao haha..... but if spraying den need to wait long long liao. cos will spray only when fixing bodykit. den shun bian spray the dents also if necessary. hehe. so no air scoop meanwhile unless i got a black spoiler. guess thats the end of mods this holidays..... $$ is needed elsewhere so nothing major anymore till i saved up enuf.

keke gotta go tuiton liaozzzzz. bye byezzzzzzzzzzz
