driving

jus came back from driving. it was great. for once, thru-out the entire lesson the gear didnt feel like it had 10ton attached to it. it was really tat simple to change gears! and all the while, i always have problems changing gear. in theory i know y, but when it comes to being natural at it, i jus cant. until, long, my driving instructor, feed me smt last lesson.

it happened last wednesday. i was my usual self, abit-gan-jiong-but-trying-hard-not-to-appear-too-gan-jiong. hahs. then towards the end of the lesson, long opened a pack of PODS.
PODS u noe. so there i was, bio-ing at his snack n driving.
then to my surprise and horror, he offered me PODS! i mean, IM DRIVING!
but he insisted n he didnt only give me 1. he gave a handful of it la.
so i had to drive, feed myself, make sure the food dun fall off my hand and change gear.
omg.
i dun tink i even had time to tink bout it!
but then, again i surprise myself.
ahem!
ahahs! i tot doing so many things will jus screw me up. but it didnt! and i didnt push down on the gearstick while changing gears and is was so so much easier to change gears! cos i cant push down, cos the pods were in my hand. hah. and cos i have to do so many tings, i didnt have to tink and im proud of myself cos i realised driving seems abit more natural to me liao. i can do all those things and not screw up, thou i was worried i would mess up. cos i had so many tings on my mind, my mind went blank, and im doing stuff on automatic mode. opps, now tat i admit, u guys would prolly tink im a potential hazard on the road. hey! now i mite be. but im sure in the future, my dream of being a F1 driver will be realised. of cos when im rich and famous, i shall be generous and kind and forget all the evil stuff u all evil peoples had laughed at me, in my face.

eg: a certain uncle liang asked me where i will drive most frequently. i told him, maybe jurong ba. he said, tats it, im avoiding jurong area.
a certain jeanko was abit more kind. she didnt say evil stuff like tat. she jus laughed. and giggled. on tat note, i mus be kind to her and point out tat i could tell she really tried to put on a sympathetic expression. eh, HD for effort? hahas.

ok, over n out now!

hello stranger, do i know you?

how many times have you walked past someone, smiled at that someone, made small talk, and moved on from there?

they are jus passers-by in your life, they move on along the pavement and they move on in ur life too.

at the end of today, or the end of the night, he/she will just someone whom we are aware of the existence, yet unfamiliar. he/she is a stanger.

do i ask, why do we still pretend to be chummy with these people when we all noe its jus a pretense?

why do u still turn up for birthday parties of people u have not seen or spoke to in 1,2 yrs or more?

why do u still invite them to ur party when u have not spoken or seen them for such a long time?

then, i wonder, wat is the point of inviting all these passers-by in your life?

the common excuse is, to catch up.

i ask, how to catch up with its ur birthday party and there are like, 40 other passers-by in the room?

96-year-old war heroine Elizabeth Choy dies from cancer

Friday September 15, 6:17 PM

SINGAPORE: She was known as a war heroine, a humanitarian, a politician and a teacher.
96-year-old legend Elizabeth Choy died on Thursday, after a battle with cancer.
Family members said she died at 2pm at home, surrounded by her loved ones.
The wake will be held at the St Andrew's Cathedral.
Elizabeth Choy was born Yong Su-Moi in Sabah in 1910, but moved to Singapore in 1929 to further her studies.
Responsibility came early to this eldest of 6 children when her mother passed away early.
Of Hakka descent, she became a teacher to support her siblings - a vocation she returned to later in life.
In 1941, Elizabeth Choy got married, but life would soon turn hellish.
Both she and her husband were captured by the dreaded Japanese Kempeitai when Singapore fell.
Accused of passing food, medicine and messages to British prisoners-of-war, she was locked up and tortured for 193 days.
In a recent documentary, she recalled these times to her grand-daughter, Andrea.
"My most agonising torture was - besides all the kicking and punching - nothing compared to the electric shocks - they applied electricity to my bare body," said Elizabeth.
After the war, the War Tribunal asked the war heroine if she wanted her torturers executed.
Her answer was no.
"If not for war, they would be just like me. They would be at home with their family, doing just ordinary things and peaceful work. Let us pray that there will be no more war," said Elizabeth.
Elizabeth Choy went on to be awarded a number of medals for valour and service to the nation, including the Order of the British Empire.
There were fun times as well, such as the little-known fact that she turned to modelling to supplement her income during a 4-year stint in the United Kingdom after the war.
After returning to Singapore, this war heroine then turned to politics - making history by becoming Singapore's first female legislator.
She then stood for elections in the Queenstown branch but lost.
Elizabeth Choy then left politics to go back to her first love - teaching.
She spent 40 years doing this.
Asked some years ago which part of her remarkable life she wanted to be remembered for, there was no hesitation.
"Teaching is a noble profession. You have young people and you help to mould them so teaching is very important," said Elizabeth.
In the end - perhaps that is indeed Elizabeth Choy's lasting legacy.
She taught a nation what it is to live a life less ordinary.
