Somehow after I started blogging again, my writing skills are slowly coming back to me, after abstaining from essay writing for about 3 months. Not that I'm saying it is a bad thing but that it really came back to me at the right time when I am busy crafting out essays for scholarship submissions. In just these 2 days tons of stuff happened. Both hilarious and disappointing.

On a bright note, I passed my BTT!!! 50/50!! I was quite happy when I passed because it means that I can finally apply for a PDL and finally sit at the driver's seat! That moment of happiness immediately disappeared the moment I stepped out of the test room as I found out that the whole system regarding the application for a PDL crashed. To highlight the severity of the situation: Without a PDL, I cannot apply for a driving lesson, cannot apply for FTT, basically, I can sit behind the wheel. My dad actually when to inquire the lady seated behind the counter on the duration of the crash and her reply was:

"1 hour? 2 hours? Half a day? Can't really tell."

When I heard the 1 hour, I was thinking okay, I can still wait for an hour but came the half a day and I was like forget it. We are coming back another day. Just as we were about to leave, a PRC tapped my shoulder and spoke in chinese asking me to help him translate what the malay lady was asking him to do. I was seriously not the right person, seeing as I scored a D for A level Chinese and haven't spoken proper chinese in like ages. So I went "shi test ni de eyesight." At that moment I was like shit. Hahaha. There is no way he was gonna understand me. Surprisingly he did! Eventually, I found out (with much difficulty) that the lady wanted him to say out the colours. At least my knowledge of chinese allowed me to translate that part. Haha. The funniest past was that he said the colours out in chinese! To the poor malay lady. I had no idea how she understood what he said but apprently she did cause she went on to the next section and by then my dad had dragged me away cause I was stoning thinking how to translate each colour from chinese to english. Hahaha!

This is a sign that I should never migrate to China because there will definitely be a language barrier though I am a Chinese myself. Hahaha. After that, I headed off to school to thank my tutors and ask about my letters of recommendation. I went to ask my chem tutor for one and initially she agreed but later that night she called to say that she may not be the best choice regarding certain position of hers but I'll find out the main reason from her on Thursday. Sorry guys, but I respect her privacy so I won't blog about it. :) Anyway, that led me to this morning where I asked my physics teacher for one but he rejected me as he had many others to write for. By then I was really freaking out cause I needed one by 31st March to apply for the scholarship. So I texted my math tutor. Thank goodness she was willing to write one for me. Or so I thought. Apparently she wants me to send her a draft and she will edit from there. Hahaha. In my head, I was like are you serious? So I'm uh going to recommend myself? Why not? Haha. I went on asking her how do you write a letter of recommendation and her reply was it's your job to find out. -.-" Anyway, I just did and it turns out to be easier than I expected. So at least I will have one letter down and it'll depend on my CT next. Sigh.

It's getting late and I have piano tomorrow, so I shall end it here. :D
Record for 2013! Longest post ever!
