had to take public transport to work today as my colleague wanted me to come in today instead of thursday when suds has the car. ugh. so i did, and got lost! i think it's still the lady bus driver's fault for possibly wrong directions. i don't think i got the bus route wrong.
anyway so i walked from the bus stop to workplace in that rather freaking warm weather that and felt really retarded wearing my pretty lace dress out for the first time.
called the said colleague and she told me i could work from home. she was being nice but i was exasperated; wished she had said so earlier?! i was kicking myself on the way to work for forgetting to bring my learner's permit and causing inconvenience to the driving instructor which i had booked and meeting for the first time.
so i bought meself a bundaberg ginger beer and tried to feel positive heading there, which was not exactly THAT far, but it really was for someone who is walking there alone for the first time. thank God for iphone and GPS though.
and on the way, i saw 2 bags of colourful fabric peeking out, packed to the brim near the bin at the bus stop. obviously the person has thrown it away but had no heart to put it into the rubbish bin. so i took the nicer clothes out from both bags into one and took it to work! LOL.
i picked up this vintage sequinned bustier dress with super duper pouffy black skirt. Suds didnt really like it but it was too exciting! can't wait for the next wedding gala to wear it to. it's my size too. don't know if it has kutu bugs in it though.......... :\
the main point is that strange comforting feeling that i felt was God trying to comfort me in His most weirdest way. He knows i really like dresses and out of nowhere He planted some random dresses by the side of the road when i was feeling bummed and like nothing could go well today.
work was okay. my colleague felt bad and i think she gave me a very small workload. i walked to the bus stop at kardinya which was like 1.6km away and finally got home. coolbellup is not far away but the whole journey was like an hour. even getting to the city is fastest. dumb public transport.
proper driving lesson with a driving instructor is interesting! my strategic plan was to talk to the instructor as much as possible about himself so that he could relax on the car ride and think that i am a good student. bahaha. he laughed when i told him that my boyfriend taught me driving and we quarreled many times as a result of me driving and how i resented him screaming to stop when i drive. the driving instructor said he was not surprised seeing how i go around curves on gear 4. "only racing drivers speed when they are going around curves," he says. "i am not surprised that your bf screams coz i would have screamed too."
we drove around the murdoch area for such a long time i think i know my neighbourhood fairly well now. saw simon gor enroute to his house. he's forever spotted walking down that path, strange! also panicked a whole bunch whenever cars overtake me when i was driving at 40km/hr at a speed limit 50km/hr residential area. panicked whenever there were cars behind me on the road; told instructor i hate it how people liked to make fun of learner drivers. he said it was inevitable, just like how a pretty girl cannot stop boys from staring at her. lolololol! i replied yeah kick them. HAHHAA i basically just unashamedly take it as a compliment to my looks even though he didnt say that.
i got so happy that i forgot his instructions about head checks and signalling -__-"
anyway i learnt:
- must do head checks all the time especially when cutting to another lane
- when near kerb, signal left to let people overtake me, signal right to let people know im going into their lane
- when change to gear 3 to 4 or from 1 to 2, i have to make sure i do go past the neutral first
- brake a little when closing in to an intersection when i have to stop
- i can go from gear 4 to 2
- must be on gear 2 when going around curves
also was emotional when i got home from all the tension and running around.... suds comforted me. had a nap and then we got up to get bubble tea to sooth my soul :)
it was really fun when i taught him to shoot pearls with the bbt straw. it's like my favouritest hobby and i can't believe he didnt know to do that!! so we drove back to his place with him like a drive-by shooter, shooting pearls onto vehicles parked in the neighbourhood, laughing like maniacs. :))
