Trying to juggle all my activities for this school semester have been pretty CRAzy.
Wednesday: Final Theory practice questions session at 4-5pm. Only had time to do 4 1/2 booklets out of 11. and I failed (meaning less than 92/100) like, 2 or 3 booklets. After that session ended, I had to rush to school for lecture at 6pm. Realised I took the wrong train. And then realized I could have taken a faster alternative route after I got off my usual train station.
Lecture 6-9pm.
9-10pm: Being the last person allowed to stand in the bus. It's the 2nd time this week. I notice I could choose to be THAT person or one of those who gets squished among many people in the middle of the bus. It's all about choosing the right busstop to wait for the bus :) But anyway, other than getting slapped about by the doors a few times, i've learnt the art of holding on and how to shift my body's center of gravity to suit me.
Thursday: 8-9.40am: Driving lesson. Drove out of the circuit and unto the main road for the first frickin time today, yay! There was one moment where I stalled the engine 3 freaking times in the middle of the road. I was kinda freaking out and my foot on the clutch pedal seemed to have a mind of its own. And there was this red van behind me who was nice enough not to horn at me while i frantically tried to *finally* move off. Felt.so.embarrassed. But my instructor kept saying 'Take it easy, be happy!' so many times. haha! thanks, Mr Tan. At one point, he even sangsaid "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands!", and he told me to take my hand off the steering wheel to clap! I didn't know whether to laugh out loud cuz I so knew he was only half-joking. lol! He told me to do that to convince me to loosen my iron grip on the wheel. So yeah, it felt surreally silly yet awesome trying to do a clapping 'trick' for my instructor while driving.
I also noticed that i'm slow enough to be overtaken by public buses and taxis who were tailgating me at first.
9.50-11.30am= Final Theory Lesson. Thought that the videos shown in class were pretty cool. Stuff like how rainy days and heavy traffic can easily and unexpectedly cause many road accidents all at once. It's like the butterfly effect theory. And then also how quick reaction can truly save your life. But then, the coordinator went on to say that a person will usually react the opposite of what he learns. So it's all up to the individual to save himself. :O
7-9pm= Jammed for the first time. Things are looking good. Good thing the members like my voice, haha. And I also realise I can sing almost any note. As in, pitching is not a problem for me. They reckon I've been practising the 3 songs a lot, but honestly, I haven't been. When I practise, it's just to get the tune right, or to improvise on the lyrics on my own just for fun, and to make it sound cooler. Honestly, i believe vocal song practice is necessary but not a means to a perfect delivery. If you've got the voice, you've got it. If you haven't, then live with it. You can't fool yourself in thinking you can sing EXACTLY like the original singer. And my vocal teacher once told me, people are limited in sounding good for certain types of songs. Not for every song they happen to fancy.
Friday:
2-5pm: Lecture
5.5.30pm: Psychology vocal-mental experiment for Singaporean females. I get paid 5 bucks. More on that tomorrow, after it's over.
7-9pm: Going to attend an introductory Aikido class in schoool!
Saturday:
2-5pm: Possibly attending another introductory martial arts session in school.
Self-defense rocks.
