well had my first bike prac today.
damn scary lah...
well anyway the instructor said i pick it up relly fast.
i was wayy better than the other guy.
the instructor laughed alot at me.
when he told me to sit on the bike,
he saw that my right leg was like dangling in midair.
he asked what was my height.
i said 1.55 maybe, since the last time i cared to measure my height was in sec 4.
then he said "u sure not? or is it because ur in denial from ur actual height?"
he was joking also.
i stuck out my tongue at him and said yea yea i know im short.
i carved out my right ankle when practicing how to push the bike off the mainstand.
then whil trying out the circuit, i fell at least three times.
nono. i didnt fall when cornering or because my engine died or because i jammed braked.
it was because when i braked, and because my feet were TOO SHORT.
hence, meaning i couldnt balance quickly enough to not fall sideways.
the other instructors said i was a gd learner. except for the falling part.
they said it was funny too tho.
coz when i was falling i will accidentally press my clutch all the way and open up the throttle all the way (thank god fo rpressing the clutch, i cudnt have been dragged on the floor!), and went "aaaahhh!!!!" then when the instructors rush over, i'l go "argh not again...."
and they laugh.
well i have to retake coz the instructor said if he allow me to continue to 1.2, i'd be a hazard coz of bad balance and stuff.
still way better than wat he said to the other guy.
"I can't pass you sorry. You keep stalling and or crashing somewhere. Come back when you learn how to ride a bicycle (he says this helps with the balance stuff and improves riding skills)"
and yes, he said this in a serious manner, not joking manner. krystl cudnt believe this part lol (i told her after my session).
it was damn tiring lah. my leg was sore from trying to reach the floor and balancing the damn heavy bike, my hands were numb from clutching the handlebars to maintain at half-clutch and just a little bit on throttle. it was kinda shiok lah actually. riding on my own :D:D:D:D:D
oh yea. before we started, the instructor asked if we had any riding experience.
the guy said no and i said yes. he looked at me and asked illegal uh?
i grinned at him and said no lah. pillion only :D:D:D then he did the joking face like want punch me like tt. then he said "aiyah. that one say for wat" then we laugh2.
k lah i think i stop here.. tirrreeeeeddddd :)

ok i know I havent update in a long long time.
here's the long and short of it all so far..
I enrolled in Bukit Batok Driving Centre for both 3C and 2B licenses.
Competed in the Contiki Beach Netball Festival.
We burnt our feet (literally) some of us got sunburnt or blisters and some bled coz of the scorching sand. (the idiotic organisers wouldnt allow slippers on the court)
Did something really bad with a very very close friend yesterday. And is likely that we will do it again. Don't ask with whom or what we did.
I believed with all my heart and mind that I had booked a bike prac today at 4pm.
When I got there, couldnt print my allocation slip because it turns out that I actually booked YESTERDAY'S session. Got laughed at by alot of people. Mainly Galvin. He made me temporarily deaf in one ear.
Went to Tampines to meet up with Galvin and his friends for dinner.
Ain asked if I was the Sha that Saiful talks to her about. And me and Galvin went "He talks about me?! What did he say?!!" and Ain wouldn't tell us. Great. Just great.
And Galvin read thru my smses, when he saw Firozi's name, he said (loudly) that I'm betraying Saiful. Gee thanks bro. Let the whole world know I like him why don't you. Well I'm not getting my hopes up.
He probably thinks of me as a friend only. And you know what? That's ok. Coz he is an AWESOME friend. Seriously. Probably the best guy friend you can ask for besides people like Galvin.
Anyway, I'm like freaking bored. So I shall go out and watch tv with the 'rents.
Ciaoz mi amores.
And for all you people who dunno Italian, that means Goodbye my Love. (>.>)
