booking those darn lessons
This is long overdue, but just now I booked for 2 bike riding lessons in March. The theory book looks complicated...let's see how I cope :-)
There are 3 places in this country where you could learn to drive/ride:
- Singapore Safety Driving Centre (SSDC) nearest MRT Yio Chu Kang
- Bukit Batok Driving Centre (BBDC) nearest MRT Bukit Gombak
- ComfortDelGro Driving Centre near nowhere!
Actually I think they are all not conveniently located. However after talking to some people, I concluded what is more important is to know which is more lenient. Since you pay per lesson/test, not per course, there is obviously an interest to keep you learning rather than passing their tests...
If you want to check each center's passing rates, go here.

Back
I've been away for a while...
So after thinking about why I'm blogging, I am keeping this space minimally personal and communally useful. This means I hope to have more reviews or real 'storytelling' when I do update.
On another note, my short update is that I am still in Singapore, working in the automotive industry....and I'm getting married next month!!!
(that was said with a big "yay hooray" tone btw!)

Harry Potter....(tick)
(Disclaimer: spoiler in this post....don't read this if you're not finished with the book yet!)
After about 8 years since I bought my first copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, 10 hours since I picked up the 7th book, I am done. My flatmates and the boyfriend have been completely ignored once I got home. Satisfied, nauseated (from too much reading), I am glad how the story is somewhat as I predicted and yet not.
Why did the end seem a tad too happy for me? Why did Harry live happily ever after? Maybe, afterall, it is a children's book, where things are normally given its bright sunny side (although JK Rowling managed to put in the B!t#h word inside).

The queue outside borders singapore at 7:15 AM today...I had to wait an hour before getting my copy and afterwards had to endure a driving test before I can go home and enjoy my book.
Now I can officially drive a car in Singapore....such a day of accomplishment! All I need to do was ensure my answers are the most conservative of the choices, even though I keep telling myself how stupid they are :-)
Next goal: motorcycle license...
