Lesen L

[Iklan] BlackBerry PlayBook 

okay...anytime from now i'll be getting my learner's driving license... lepas tu kita kena habiskan 10 jam belajar, (which abah think is not enough) dan kalau L kite dah matang sebulan kita pun boleh lah test JPJ... what happened was... oh cop2... nak story dulu how to get to the lesen L..

1. ujian buta warna bertulis
2. ceramah KPP - 5 jam
3. ujian undang-undang - ujian penglihatan mesti betul semua, otherwise u will be barred from EVER having a driving license.. bahagian undand-undang kena betul 42/50 to pass... kalau tak kena amik ulangan.
4. attend ceramah 6 jam.. 3 jam kuliah pasal kereta, another 3 jam di litar... tengok enjin, maintenance kereta, and then start driving di litar.

so what happened was.. masa tengok enjin bla bla bla tu memang best... then pakcik tu pun bawak la i naik kereta kancil tu.... and i'm the one who had to actually DRIVE the car. takutnye tuhan saje yang tahu... bawak dalam litar bukan exceed 30km/j pun... habis-habis pun gear 2 je kan.. minyak pun bukan tekan sangat..

ok...masalahnye skarang, i got so scared bila nampak kereta lain. not to mention i keep forgetting to check the side mirrors and rear-view mirror. tahu-tahu ade je kereta kat tepi. sometime i would even STOP the car semata-mata sebab ternampak ada kereta lain dari arah bertentangan. ataupun refuse to drive sebab ade kereta kat belakang??? tapi pakcik tu suruh jugak habiskan bawak. masa tu i know i have to tell abah, i think this is the furthest i can do. lesen L. haha.

balik rumah je terus demam diiringi tonsilitis. i memang kalau stress cepat tonsilitis.immune suppresses kaedahnye.. i told abah i don't think i can continue. mama was like, "bukan semua orang boleh memandu... bukan mama nak discourage kamu, tapi kalau takut-takut ni, nanti lagi masalah...tak apa, nanti kalau panjang umur mama dan abah boleh hantar dan ambil dari hospital..." cewah. i was like, yes, mama is on my side. then other people would tell me memang macam tu mula-mula ni... along was like, "takkan la kamu taknak drive sampai bila-bila..??" 

and then recently, after i decided to at least take a time-off from driving, (aku rase pakdin tu pun merasai aku ni spesies tak bleh memandu....die pun senyap je takde mention pasal lesen L aku...) abah said, "memalukan lah, along...angah..kakak..semua ok je memandu...ikah sorang aje penakut...sampai demam-demam..." well, that trick used to work very well in motivating me, but not this time.

"ini semua salah abah. dari ikah kecik, abah asik kata jalan raya tu bahaya... bawak motor tak boleh..bahaya.. bawak basikal tak boleh...bahaya... ikah nak main rollerblade pun abah tak bagi... lintas jalan pun pegang tangan orang...macam mana ikah tak jadi takut nak bawak kereta...."

hihi. and few hours later, i told abah that again, and that i was afraid other people would hit my car.

me : macam mana kalau ada kereta langgar ikah?

abah : orang bawak kereta...bukan nak langgar orang...

me : kalau ade pemandu cuai camne...

abah: same lah macam jumpa doktor.... kalau semua orang takut dapat doktor yg cuai, tak pergi jumpa doktor ke??

ok terdiam. then along proved me wrong lagi sebab i don't get too scared bila naik kereta dengan orang lain. cuma gayat2 je.. so, it's MY issue. i don't have confidence in MYSELF.

misi getting out of comfort zone kali ini  : to overcome my fear of driving. wish me luck, and please pray for me. tips are most welcomed. thank you.

ibrah dari padang polo : sediakan payung sebelum hujan.

cuti masih berbaki. kalau bosan-bosan boleh try online contest main game ni

[online contest] Save shockville from the sleepy heads 

[online contest] CastrolMagnatec : Grand prize to HK Diseneyland!!!

Semenjak mendapat kasut tajaan Along pada hujung minggu yang lalu, abah telah membawa saya untuk brisk-walking di Padang Polo, Ipoh. Abah definitely made me walk 5.2km each morning, memang menyegarkan sangat. Biasanya around 7-7.30 we will start walking and finish an hour later. 

On my first day, memang rasa tak selesa tengok too many Malaysians, and of course their inappropriately too exposing outfit. I pity Muslim men in Malaysia for having to face this difficulties in a public place like this. Kalau yang pakai tu non-muslim, it's quite understandable lah, tapi kalau yang pakai tu sama-sama Melayu Islam, kan ke tak manis bahkan berdosa tidak menutup aurat.

And then there are few people who would run or walk against the normal current of other people. Orang yang dari arah bertentangan. Abah kata ada kajian sains yang kata ada benefit dari berbuat sedemikian. When you become a regular in a place, you'll make friends, or at least acquaintances. Ada among those people yang lari against the current ni, would tegur abah, everytime they bump into each other, but there's this uncle that gets my attention.

Sediakan payung sebelum hujan.

I think he's at least 70. He walks at a normal pace, not too fast, not too slow. He'll already be walking when we arrived, but never has stopped when we're done. I wonder berapa km sehari uncle ni berjalan. Without miss, everyday mesti ada. And he would greet everyone he knows. Pagi....!!! Morning...!!! Cheo Sannn...!!! he would say to people. And to my amusement, dia sentiasa bawak payung, walaupun tak ada tanda-tanda nak hujan. Bila berjalan, abah would usually introduce me to people, (sekarang dah tau dah mana I dapat this observing habit - from abah, definitely. Sebab abah would notice siapa yang hari-hari, regular, jalan laju, jalan perlahan, lari konsisten selalu and so on) so abah told me, "Pak cik tu, hari-hari dia jalan. Without miss. Hujan pun dia jalan juga, sebab itu hari-hari dia bawak payung. Dia datang sini pun naik basikal".

wow. ini baru betul sediakan payung sebelum hujan. betul-betul proaktif pakcik ni, tak tunggu awan mendung, guruh berdentum baru sibuk nak cari payung. Memang sentiasa bersedia. :-)

Orang kita kurang bersenam?

Going for morning walk/jog memang lagi best dari pergi waktu petang. Lepas subuh kita start, balik around 9, siap-siap, segar dan terus boleh buat kerja seharian. Yang anehnya, dekat Padang Polo tu, bukan orang tua pencen saja yang go for morning walk, yang muda-muda 20-30 pun ada. Mungkin ini benefit bekerja sendiri, or at least bukan bekerja dengan kerajaan. Mustahil lah yang ada dekat padang polo tu semua menganggur ataupun semua businessman kan. Tapi, Melayu memang tak ramai. Ada sikit kawan-kawan abah polis-polis pencen. makcik pakcik tua-tua. Kalau budak muda suka datang petang agaknya, boleh makan laksa, sambil dating-dating. Tapi, yang dating pagi-pagi pun ada, mencemarkan keindahan alam, jalan nak berpegang tangan, ingat ni taman bunga ke?

Hari pertama lagi abah dah bercerita, kalau nak bawak air, simpan dalam box motor ataupun bawak sama. Haritu abah tinggalkan air dalam raga, balik-balik tengok dah habis air abah orang minum. hihi. Lucu. Lepas tu abah buat kesimpulan, ni mesti kerja budak-budak melayu ni, orang cina yang bersenam ni, semua mentalitinya bagus-bagus. Cuba kamu tengok, kalau budak kita, jenis macam mana yang datang ke padang polo ni. I think abah has got a point. mudah-mudahan i won't be like those people abah mentioned.

ok. till then. silelah cuba contest2 ni. mana tau korang terer sangat ade can menang ke kan.

ho ho holiday

sedar tak sedar dah almost two weeks i've been in Malaysia... it was awesome lah as always... lebih-lebih lagi cuti 3 months kan... harini baru sempat nak menulis sebab since balik haritu  I don't have good internet access, the house only have dial-up, and i only use my phone for internet browsing... nanti crammed la ibu jari kalau blogging kat phone kan...

monday baru mama sponsor broadband - i'm using celcom and apparently it works just great so far. I've finished 1Gb out of the allocated 3Gb in 2 days. hehe. i'm cancelling the 99 days project which suppose to be an-article-a-day, since I didn't get to write in the first 13 days!

I've presented my major plans for this 3 months holiday to my mom, and she agreed on most of them, but she still hesitates and doubts if I really can do it all ;

1 - obtaining a driving license

2 - belajar menjahit sekurang-kurangnya baju kurung

3 - attend cupcake decorating (still considering sebab tiba2 ramai pulak nk tlg ajar, alhamdulillah)

4 - belajar beading (jahit manik) - cancelled because beader yg I tanda tu tak buat kelas dah.

5 - start running (sponsor kasut kata this weekend nak pegi beli new running shoes)

6 - lose weight and build stamina

and not to mention, going to finish some books I've brought home, borrowed and I even bought some more online from mphonline.com. might as well share them with you guys later.

and thanks to muaz, i have not spent a day dalam 2 minggu ni tidur di pagi hari. which makes the holidays a lot more meaningful. :-)

till then. have a nice day everyone
