Just to add a bit more to Linn's post. Not much really, she's pretty much said everything. Yea, Actually i noticed that Chemistry tuition guy in the morning before you came...hee. He looked better without his spectacles. I didn't really pay much attention till you told me you recognize him. Adeline happy only ah, picked up something from the ground for him.
So anyway, the class started at about 9am and i left my house at 7.30am when i only live like less than 5 minutes away from the place. And i'm never gonna sit in the backseats of a Kancil. Can't fit la. No room for my legs, if two person at the back can la, but 3 cannot. No can do. Then i was directed around the place and yes i was very lost cause everyone was speaking Mandarin. Not that i didn't understand, if they would just slow down a bit, i would be able to cope. At the counter itself, she told me in Mandarin, " Place your left thumb in the scanner" I was like "HUH?" She repeated, " Fang ni de zhuo sou mu zhi something..." Tembak only la left thumb i told myself. Woohoo, i was right. Drizzled the whole day i guess. Luckily Adeline transferred to my class otherwise i'd be bored to death. Then i smsed my dad saying its the "Future Ultimate Ah Beng Gathering" Guess what he replied back, "If you can't beat them, Join them" 0_0 I don't think i want to join them... so practically we just sat our way through the class without making any funny noises. Break time we just spent time in the washroom. Not much. Miserable lunch though.
That place seriously needs a makeover in terms of language be it Chinese or English especially Bahasa Malaysia. In a single signboard, you can find at least 5 mistakes. This does not only apply to only ONE signboard but A FEW signboards including the powerpoint presentation during the course. I'm not being proud but this is considered a government property. They are the few licensed company to produce new drivers, even the JPJ officers were there. Poor thing.
"Apa you need to know." ----Speech bubble pops out from Adeline's and Olivia's head---- Hmmm. Tells myself, That's how it is, accept it. Only this once and no more. It'll be life in the car from then on. I just hope that Uncle who mixed Bahasa Malaysia, English, Mandarin and Cantonese in his teaching is not the driving instructor i'm gonna get cause i requested for an English-speaking instructor and the agent claims that they have an instructor extremely good in English. =/ Sorry about dissing you at the part where you said Distance=SpeedxTime. You were right Jackie Ngoi. Oh by they way, his name is Jacky Ngoi.
When it was time to leave, a driving instructor was looking for me high and low with a paper in his hand that says MAH WAI HSIEN. Sorry for the delay Encik. Oh yea i forgot, the name MAH WAI HSIEN was written on many pieces of papers by clerks, mentioned or called out by 2 Different people WRONGLY!!!! One was MAH WEI SIEN, MAH WAI SIEN, or MAH WAI only. Pronounced as MAHHH WAHHH SIEN. The funny thing is my IC was with them they whole entire day and they just had to simply copy or call out my name with the IC in front of their eyeballs. A tragic tale.
Reached home at 4.30. Sorry Linn for the 2 and a half hour trip back to your home sweet home. Just bummed, ate, received SMS updates from Leen and helped dad with spring cleaning the piles of magazines and books he collected since i don't know 1970's? Plus olden days computers, disk drives. Bet no one has seen it before. It's huge. Everything sold to the karung guni man for RM30. Filled up the whole van again but still RM30. Sheesh.
Yeap, now i'm here getting ready to sleep soon. Bye for now.
