I can drive!! (in the circuit)

hahah... yupz! I can drive... but in the circuit only :) today is my very first driving lesson! I was initially quite reluctant to go for it cos I felt that its abit waste of time... partly cos I hv lotsa work to do. But it turns out quite fun! but also frustrating cos I'm still not too familar with the control! Nevertheless, my instructor said that I did quite well for a first timer :) So Evelyn and James! watch out! its gonna be tough beating me on this! hahah... well then again, its too early to say! I can be quite a retard with my motor skills.

Anyway, I'm so proud of myself!! I just sent an email to my china fren in CHINESE!! yes in Chinese!!! WOW! I manage to figure out how to do the chinese typing through XP on my own and manage to type a half page email! not bad huh!! I deserve a pat on my back :P hahaha... I've been corresponding with them in English actually, but it turns out that some of them had difficulties understanding my email.... oh well.. guess I need to accomodate to them and put in more effort to polish up my chinese.

The past week had been quite hectic! That's why I didnt manage to blog anything..... I was quite overwhelmed with work and becoming abit stressed out.... Guess most of you had heard me complain about my work and stuff.... yupz its the proposal tat's giving me some headache.... and its due end of the month! die.... there's so many different things to consider and look into.... legislation, standing orders, treatment, counselling, community resources, regulations, trends and statistics, etc... Plus, I have a very meticulous and detailed boss to report too.... hai... God pls help me.... Its not that I dont like wat I'm doing, its in fact very challenging and interesting. But I just hope that I have the resources to make my job easier. On top of this, I still need to juggle with my current responsiblities..and not forgetting the assignment that is due in 2 weeks time! Die...... sometimes I feel like I'm running around like a headless chicken. No time to sit down to think and reflect. and even if I hv time, its spent on staring into the computer. God pls, help me.

I actually brought back quite alot of work to do over the weekend. But it ended up that my schedule is so packed that I only managed to do it this evening... oh well.. no regrets, cos I had quite a good weekend, although half the time I was thinking abt my work and worrying over it. I even had difficulties sleeping. I'll wake up and start thinking abt work. I know this is a sign that I'm stress.

anyway, although things seems pretty depressing, I did manage to find time to go for a 10 Km walk at Mac Ritchie reservior with my colleagues and visit the tree top walk :) Quite proud of myself for being able to complete it without complains and also with not much problem. Its nice to go back to nature and enjoy the scenery, the trees and the "jungle" walk :) away from urbanisation!! the highlight of the day was actually a live demonstration of a snake eating a lizard! quite interesting and we were all facinated by it. It kinda compensated for the not so interesting tree top walk. hahaha... Well, although now I have sun burns on my shoulders and muscle aches on my legs... I'm glad that I went for it ... time out from the stress of urban living and return to nature :)

alright... another week is about to start.. hope I'll survive victoriously!
