Double Delight week_ooOO

1st: Finally got my "real" Class 3 Driving Licence today after 11 days of waiting! But dunno need to wait how long before i can drive again.
2nd: Juz won my company organized Futsol Tournament today, recevied a trophy & NTUC voucher.


My team is called "GOE" United = "Glory Of Engineering". Sound a bit garang, but not so in reality (shld be heng). Total 7 players: 5 playing, 2 reserves. 1 in his 40's, 4 in his 30's and 2 in his 20's. I think we have the highest average age group among the 7 teams!

In the 1st match, we drawn 1-1, lost on penalties. lucky to score my team 1st goal in the tournament with a simple tap in. 2nd match, drawn again, now is 0-0 , scored the winning penalty. 3rd match, we won 1-0. 4th match (semi-final), we have the biggest win, won 2-0. 5th match (final), we won 1-0 again. One of the contradicting thing is that the team we played in the 1st match is also the last team we played in the final. Moreover, the opponent team has training once in a week whereas for my team, we only met and get to know each other today! Not familiarizing with one another, we still can win the tournament (heng). Overall, it is a nice experience participating in one of the company organized events. Hope to win it next year. Happy... ...

Spoilt_sport week :(

What a happy week ended with a twist. I injured my right foot last Thursday while playing street soccer at Bedok. Maybe i am too rusty or too retarded after so long w/o playing. A bit slow motion in every moves, then also due to my 1st time wearing my new adidas street soccer shoes too. Sianzzz...

Finally, i get to be super free now during the weekend as there is no more driving lessons. But, muz settle my studies asap. Hope ur enjoy ur weekend! :)

Class 3 week*

Yeah, very happy this week! 1st, i only worked for 3 days. 2nd, i managed to sell some of my figures ($$$). Lastly, i finally got my Class 3 driving license (manual) after the 3rd attempts (shame)!

- The 1st test: i got a bad tester, forgot to bring photo & failed due to my carelessness & panicky.
- The 2nd test: i got a good tester, forgot to bring photo again & failed due to my lack of response.
- The 3rd test: i got a good tester too, brought my photo & stroke the front pole while doing parrallel parking. Luckily, the pole juz swing and remain back to position. Else, i will get my 4th test soon. Even though it was raining, i still managed to drive my way to success with the power of the photo (muz be well-prepared to get pass, hah:).

This driving thing has been driving me crazy, all the time & effort & money spent together ($2k+). No doubt i am also not so smart & flexible, so can drag for so long too. Anyway, all is over now. Time to think of my studies...

Yes! week!

Yeah, having a long weekend - 12 Oct (Fri) to 16 Oct (Tue), 5 days not working!

This week, nothing much happened, juz that there is no jogging due to rainy weather.

On Monday, i was treated to a cafe near AMK hub after work by one of my CoLleague, it is the "Yes! The Asian Cafe". From the moment we stepped into the cafe till we left, only one customer came in, this showed how "well" the business is. We ordered some side dish like the Honey Baked Chicken Winglets - juicy meat being cooked just right and sprinkled with fragrant black and white sesame seeds. I am a Chicken Wings lover, so it did appeal to me, haha...

Despite having such a long break, i cant think of anything to do. Sian... ...

10km week ~!~!~

Yeah... Yet another week has past, this week my jogging distance increased to >10km (3 rounds of Bishan Park 1!). It took me abt 70mins to complete the route. At the end, i could not feel my leg as i walked. One of my colleague also joined me after work, she has not been jogging for the past 2 weeks and we promised to complete 3 rounds this week as a progressive training (increase 1 round per week). After the 1st round, i can still see her following behind, so i carried on for the 2nd round. Along the way, i lost track of her, but still continued to finish my 3rd round. In the end, as i abt to reach the finishing point, i saw her. She only completed 2 rounds and wait for me to complete my 3rd. Aiyo... But ok la, at least i progressed to the next stage. Next will be 4 rounds, i am keeping my finger cross... haha...
