The was dirt bike off-road training today… I love the dirt (not literally), just feel that I-am-one with offroad vehicles, love the way they roar and handle over all terrain conditons, its just shiok, (esp clearing high hills motorcross style). Furthermore, rode with and as a pillion today, both at a circuit and PIE/CTE later on, got my campmate to give me a lift home. It was fun, esp hitting 90-100 on the freeways.. whee!

Mmm, Matric Revolution’s gonna be up on da big screens soon… will be looking forward to that… yea!

This is one outing I sure would not miss, considering that Johnson, my BMT bunkmate kinda “booked” us 1 month in advance for this outing (as we are always constantly unavailable). 6 of us (Johnson, JJ, Xingjian, Xiangrui, Jimmy & me, though we met Edwin unexpectedly later on & yea.. Dominic could not make it) managed to meet this evening since we passed out 3 months ago (and went our seperate ways in different units ever since). So theres Orchard for us.

As usual, there’s always lots of toking-cock-chit-chat bout national service, (guys at our age would normally talk bout this naturally and it also something which ours girls would normally dread when they tag along with us.) Zipped down the Marche @ Hereen for dinner, had the beef stew with mashed potatoes dish for $12.90 bucks. Then the good stuff comes FREE- outta blue there’s the hotdog eating competition, followed by the root beer drinking compo. So theres lots of SABO-ING and we got 2 guys from our group to compete in it. I won’t be amused if girls won them flat out (which they did) and man who said good guys always finish last? & sooo we didn’t win but we’ve won ourselves free drink and dessert vouchers for everyone in the group as consolation. Whats more tomorrow? Tim Sum lunch buffet at Miramar hotel! woot!

It had been a day of firsts, namely travelling in the public road the whole day and working overtime (7am-9pm). Riding on the road is not so scary now, as I am more used to it by now. And yea, there was night training today, primarily to give us the experience of riding in the dark (therefore the late blog entry for tonight too, *yawn*) With that in hand, time to prepare for the last work day of the week, tomorrow and it would be a long weekend for passes (i.e the performers). Horray! And hey, today I travelled 110km today… *duh* the most I’ve ever went in a single day… *grinz*

Yicks! riding a motorbike on a public road had never been so dangerous (as I thought to be): Having big 10 wheeled dumpers, lorries, buses whizzing past you, vehicles tailgating, cutting in your lane, failling to give way to you, illegal turns and so… Fresh out of riding school (and being very traffic law abiding indeed), this’s so much for an experience of firsts! Man it’s the REAL THING! & I’ve never been so exposed on the road before, always seated comfortably in cars/buses (and I thought driving in GTA vice city was dangerous).

Even the P-plate on my bike don’t seem to do much justice…. No wonder why there are so many accidents involving motorcyclists everytime- with 2 fatailtys in Singapore weekly.. ekk! Now I know how it feel to be a motorcyclist on the road, after knowing their side of the story. When I get my class 3 car license by next year, I would always have this feeling behind my head to give-way to ’em or let them have piority in things… But of course there are too, limits which they can push courtesy to. *grinz*

Yippe! I’ve passed my skills balancing test today, together with my E-brake, push start and chalking up only 6 points in the circuit test. Thats 3 test hurdles passed throughout this driving course so far. Though its true that 1 outta 4 people won’t pass the test (10 out of 40 in this case), just hope that those from my course who failed will pass the retest tomorrow, (practice hard dudes). In the meantime, it would be public riding for me tomorrow. This time, without an L-plate, but a P-plate!

Ok then so the net is up on my side, missed a few potential WC3 matches with my NS friends onsite updates, forum visits, news and got tons & tons of much more junk mail to clear. Ya know bout the thing about these junk mail, they still keep coming after you try (unendlessly) to unsub from. And to think about it, they really think people online are all crazy about viagra, enlarging your privates of even tuning to digital TV for some personal business. This is really irritating, not to mention the deleting frenzys and possiblity of junking important personal mail lost in the pool of JUNK MAIL. *JUNK MAIL SUXS, twistys!* *wink* *wink*

Ok, so stuffs of the week worth mentioning. I’ve passed the Highway situational test on thursday, very easy it you get the hang of it. It makes me wonder why such 1-1 (student-to-tester) oral tests on traffic situations are scrapped in commerial driving schools. MMmm, partly because disagreements would normally mean tables and chairs flying here and there from party to party?

There would be balancing skill test next week, namely balancing on planks, rib bridges with timing, the notorious figure of 8 and salom the course, all followed by E-brake and (yea this one is freaking outdated) the push start tests. Must pass the test man, if not REMINDIAL. argh!

On the headlines, there had been alot of talk lately, mainly bout the freak accidents in Hendon camp. Dumbos, drowning people in survivor courses….
