I realised I still owe Mabel about $8 for taxi fare... LOLLLLL.
Since prom wei, and I'm super proud I remembered! =D
Oh, by the way; I finished my last official driving lesson today. Wasn't as illuminating as I thought it would be - and I realised I really wasted a lot of time.
For one thing, the first lesson consisted of him telling me how stupid I was and me turning in circles.
The second was more useful, had a little bit on uphill and the three point turn.
TODAY I spend 1.5 hours doing the fricking three point turn to the extent the instructor slept. YES HE SLEPT.
Then he woke up when I jerked the car on purpose and finally decided to teach me side parking.
Which by then, I was extremely exhausted, having spent another hour prior to the lesson driving about DCP with my dad and practicing controlling steering with a figure 8 and zig zag turn. AND I had blisters on my palm due to the lovely fact that the kancil we used to drive had an extremely stiff steering wheel. I could see my arm muscles bunching up each time I turn the steering wheel.
SO.
I kinda messed up the side parking. Knocked over one of the plastic pole thinghys that are supposed to be boundaries but are in all actuality just mop handles stuck into old paint cans with cement.
>_< !!!!
But hey, when I weigh the things I learnt this year in my 31st December list, I can actually put something relatively constructive, driving.
And, yeah; played DS games for the past two days... Finished Time Hollow and Atelier Annie (alchemist game). Both are really RPG like, with storylines. (I LIKE!) Time Hollow's about this guy who wakes up, finding that his parents have disappeared, with the world completely erasing any trace of their existence. He finds that he has the power to open small portals into time, provided he has pictures of events occuring in his mind (flashbacks). (He uses a pen. LOL) And there's this guy who also has the same power and uses it to kill of his friends and stuff. Kinda cool. =D
The Atelier Annie one is really nice, despite it somewhat giving me a dating sim kinda feel. It's about a girl called Annie who is forcibly made to participate into a resort building competition because she's too darn lazy. (her dream is to marry a rich guy and do nothing but sleep her days away) The characters there are really interesting, and the game is fairy unique. You get a mixture of SimCity and Final Fantasy and a random cooking game.
Because in this game, you have to build resorts, managing money and stuff whilst fighting monsters to gather ingredients required for you to synthesize them into items to fulfill quests. And as this goes on, you have the semesterly competition of which you can either get a gold, silver or bronze award that determines the amount of money you have to build more resorts.
The only annoying thing is the persistent time limit, which stops you from doing anything you want. Days past very quickly, and the game lasts only three years; which stops you from doing basically everthing you want. Apparently, there are seven documented endings. Never tried all yet, too lazy to.
On a side note, my luggage back to Sg weighs a tonne.
