proud mz

i'm very proud or myself *givin myself a pat on the shoulder*.. i've just went for a full day course n successfully received my learner's motorcycle license.. yay!! it means i've got an L plate to ride around.. it's not exactly a motorcycle license.. it's more like.. a scooter license, since i learnt n was tested in a mini scooter. it was so cute, i almost wanted to carry it home! i did all the tests n passed at 1st go.. there was this 'slow ride' in which we were supposed to ride slowly on a stretch of road in a box of 0.8m x 10m (approx.). we needed to ride as slowly as possible with our feet off the ground for more than 10 secs! i did it in 14.4 somethin seconds!! jacke did it in 14.64 secs, so he was better.. hehee the instructor (guy) couldn't keep his eyes off jacke, kept praisin him in front of me.. tellin me how good a rider he was.. oh god, it was kinda disturbing.. haha, he didn't exactly have the pervert look or stare tho.. n he kept catchin jacke fixin his hair after takin off his helmet.. the helmets were no good, they gave me a headache n made all our hair looked flat!! jacke, april n i went for the course, n all of us passed at 1st go!! yay!!
after the whole day, we reached home about 7+pm, n believe it or not, we bought a scooter before it was 9pm on the clock. we got everythin discussed n transfered, we even went to my sister's place to print out the forms n stuff n she had to download acrobat reader from the net to read the forms.. we did so many things in that mere 1 hour. it's a metallic red Peugeot Vivacity, with a storage box at the back n a visor in front. it is a really really nice scooter.. n we're both very happy.. ;D
i've gotta practice in a manual car soon.. wanna get my victorian license asap. i went to vicroads (relevant authority) n asked about converting my m'sian driver's license into victorian license. this is wat they told me: u've gotta take a driver's knowledge test, a hazard perception test, n a driving practical test. after dat, if u pass, u'll get a full license straight away without goin on probation (since u've been havin a full license for more than 3 yrs). then u bring in ur m'sian license becoz we have to punch a hole in it n invalidate it. KONG!!!%#@*!&#$% wat THE...??? invalidate?? i'm only converting my license??! so i asked them back: wat if i wanted to drive in m'sia? their answer: u use ur victorian license to convert it back to m'sian license.. @#%%$&*$# total Bull$h!+!! but i'm converting my license anywayz.. :P

holiday

i'm beginning to feel out of touch.. out of many many things.. i think i've kept myself off blogging n even surfing the internet for a fair bit of time. leavin a lot of things undone.. sorry guyz, nothin for u guyz to read. not much interesting stuffs tho, altho much has happened. since the start of my holidays, i have been worrying about many many things.. some of those have been settled, such as results to my final 2 units, I MANAGED!! i'm graduating!! my parents seemed more okay with jacke now, altho not really approving of us stayin in the same room. jacke's parents came over, we went to Sydney with a group of frenz, namely Cara, Wilson, Ronald (who left for HK from Sydney halfway thru), Eric Ping and Allan. we rented 2 nissan x-trails, not bad a drive, it took an exceptionally long drive up north to Sydney. i couldn't take it to myself to drive above 140kmph, i have uncle n aunty in the car afterall.. we spent a few days up north, eating a lot of krispy kreme doughnuts, n meeting up with Ee-Feng, plus a few trips to the Star City casino. i did quite some shoppin there too, altho now they seemed to have disappeared! comin back down south, we stopped by Bright, only to be greeted by wet n rocky windy roads. it was cold, but it was fun, all of us sleeping in an ensuite cabin, 2 rooms n a bath+toilet. the days were rainy n wet, we couldn't even drive too fast.

my parents then came over on july 7th, my family (+ fred who joined us on our lovely trip) with jacke's family (- jacke's bro joseph who is in Manchester) went to the Phillip Island to the Penguin Parade, then the next day we set out south west to see the famous 12 Apostles (which one of the apostles recently fell, amounting only 8 left). from the 12 Apostles, erm... 8, jacke n his family went home as we continued up north n stayed at Hamilton. it's a nice town, i bought a pair of boots with a sheepskin sole. :P we then proceeded up north summore to the Grampians National Park. we only did see one aboriginal art site.. darn, forgot the name, but i do remember the drive thru the red muddy (dry mud) roads n the 1.6km walk ONE-WAY ONLY to see the art on a very big piece of stone. pictures later, yeah.. i'm vowing to go back to the Grampians Nat Park one day.. i wanna go see the MacKenzie Falls n the caves n all.. sigh..

then we came back to melbourne, got a day to go to Ballarat to Sovereign Hill, the gold mine museum. n the next day we went to Mt Buller. it was rather a hot day at Buller, as i saw a couple of guyz skiing with just t-shirts on. i should've taken the pictures.. n i almost got a sunburn, if not for all those sunblock i put on earlier in the morning. the view was spectacular...

tell u guyz maybe a bit later, n the pictures.. sorry yeah fred, u gotta wait a bit more for the pictures.. i seemed to have misplaced one 32mb memory card. :P well, cya LATER!
