Full licence!

yay! finally after 4 years of driving. it felt like a long time, but it was actually pretty quick. managed to pass it all without repeating (:

most worried about was having to pay another test fee if i failed since one test is over $40. heard from people at church quite a few people failed the first time so i really didn't want to pay to do it again, luckily i didn't (: getting full marks isn't hard, just read the handbook and memorise some stats. i'd say fills is probably the hardest of them (not hard, but compared to L's where it's general knowledge, green P's where you either touch or don't touch, but fuels you need to memorise random crap). tbh. memorising statistic doesn't make you a better or safer driver, so i think these tests are pointless. didn't have to wait too long there, and finished it pretty quick. now i'm stuck with my licence for another 5 years, problem is i signed my signature too small this time D= just doesn't look as big as last time...

i think they forgot to hole punch my licence, and my green p's don't expire until next year, so I guess I have a spare id to use...they also didn't check my eyesight...

went shopping at t2, and finally got a mesh ball. the person was really nice, i asked for 2 samples and she gave me 2 and 3 tsp, then an additional other samples, and i didn't even buy that much.

another 9 page document about our end of semester prac exam. it's the whole time limit thing, and this time they actually have a bell, so you have to move to the next station, and if you can't finish it in time, well bad luck, you've failed. already so scared since our "patients" are random examiners/post grads who can troll you, and you're under exam stress, and prac exams are even more nerve wracking, and might not finish in time...and if i get a supp i'm repeating D=

why does the business school charge full fees for summer courses gen ed? i wanted to do one business related, but since it's going to cost $6000+ and not commonwealth supported, guess i'll have to do something else...

Monday has gone, and already behind in my list to do D= didn't realise modern family was back, i guess it's good i haven't been following it.

i hate this weather already. trying to wear long clothing for as long as possible, since when summer hits, i have shorter clothing to wear/survive the heat. if i wear short stuff now, don't now how i can survive summer. brief reasons why i hate summer: sun is cancerous. you don't hear about cold weather being cancerous, yes people get sick, but they don't get skin cancer compared to summer. the sun also makes your skin dark, and pigmented. also UV not good for eyes. when driving, the steering wheel is hot even after parking in shade. i've mastered driving with only two fingers in this case (not that it's something to be proud of), but the hot weather leaves me no choice. also, i don't like going to the beach since i try to avoid the sun. only go beaches on road trips/overseas. hot weather makes you less motivated to do work. even if i put the aircon on, it's still a waste of electricity and money. survived the whole winter without using my electric blanket or air con.

if you haven't been following the news, well HK right now is pretty crazy. have a look at this article. i really believe HK people should have their own voice. i don't understand why the media focuses on celebrities wedding when there are real life tense situations closer to home. relatives sending me photos, and it's just hard to believe all this stuff is happening over there. some Aussies/westerners live in HK, and they just have barbecues on the streets. last week, i bet that street was brimming with buses, cars, taxis and people bustling to work.

everyday i actually think about how blessed I am to be living in Australia. our defence systems are good to protect us from random military attacks and we get to choose who to vote for. even though we all hate Abbott, at least we can choose to kick him out in the next election. a freedom to declare my faith as a Christian without persecution.

  1. Fulls! Beat us all to it by far :)

    And yes, reading your post was such a good reminder of the freedom we take for granted.
