~*~ First and Second try for Auto car ~*~
Went for my driving lesson yesterday. As part of the driving school requirement, class 3 manual car learners need to undergo at least 2 sessions of auto transmission car lessons (to me, it's attempting to earn more money from us la). Since there is no choice but to follow the so-called syllabus, I went. My first time control an auto car! Very exciting and relaxing. What a BIG difference and great enjoyment derived from driving it. No need to change gear, no need to step the clutch, no need to fear of engine stall, no need to be afraid of not being able to slow down in the correct gear. WOW, good hor? That makes driving auto car fun and easy. So much easier to handle than a manual car. Gives bubu a extra boost that she can drive. Makes one happy, so $67.20 per session well-spent.
The Da Vinci Code completed!
Yeah, I've finished reading this book. The ending was unexpected, the part when the truth on Sophie's family gets revealed. Haha, not very surprised when the real identity of The Teacher is known because I already know beforehand.

~*~ How did Bubu spend Good Friday? ~*~
In the morning:

Sat in front of the computer for quite some time, body is getting sniff from long hours of sitting. Eyes not tired yet.
Driving Learnboo
Hmmm, tomorrow I shall have my auto driving lessons. Finally going to resume driving classes after a 3-months break. On a lazy mood ever since my PDL expired. Gosh, I've already forgotten how to park my car in a parallel manner and how to maneuver the car in the crank course and S-course. Got to re-learn loh, no choice.

~*~ Bubu is reading B O O K s ~*~
Currently reading "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown.
Marvellous book I must say. Managed to keep me hook to it for months. I borrowed this book from my good friend, Li Ling (who is now at Kukup with my boyfriend and the other BioEng classmates). Frankly speaking, I'm no book lover, don't consider reading as my hobby. Books are for long journeys (from Jurong West to Serangoon, for example), haha~ Time passes fast whenever I do reading and especially when the book keeps me in suspense or state little interesting facts. I have absolutely no idea how long have I borrowed this book from Li Ling le, perhaps for a year?
The books which I've read for the past 2 years are few and can count with 2 hands. Let me think... The Bonesetter's Daughter by Amy Tan, Marketing for Mums by "I-forgot-who", Rich Dad's CASHFLOW Quadrant by Robert T. Kiyosaki. The rest I don't remember or even there is no more others.
You can see books online:

~*~ My Johari Window ~*~
Am I who I think I am?
Dear friends,
Please help me to know myself better

through this link, you have to choose 5/6 words which describes me best and find out what others think. Thanks a lot lot!
About Johari Window (Something which I remember learning in Effective Communication module in Year 2)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johari_window
A Johari window is a metaphorical tool intended to help people better understand their interpersonal communication and relationships. It is used primarily in self-help groups and corporate settings as a heuristic exercise.
Terms selected only by the participant, but not by any of their peers, are placed into the Fač˝ade quadrant, representing information about the participant of which their peers are unaware. It is then up to the participant whether or not to disclose this information.
Terms that are not selected by the participant but only by their peers are placed into the Blind Spot quadrant. These represent information of which the participant is not aware, but others are, and they can decide whether and how to inform the individual about these "blind spots".
Terms which were not selected by either the participant or their peers remain in the Unknown quadrant, representing the participant's behaviors or motives which were not recognized by anyone participating. This may be because they do not apply, or because there is collective ignorance of the existence of that trait.

~*~ Progress Package ~*~
Finally, I have the chance to share the nation's fortune, haha!
I'm one of the kiasu Singaporean who sign up for the progress package yesterday. Mummy says that explains why there was such a long queue at the POSB atms yesterday. Daddy keeps asking me to register (he very kiasu one), so I obey him and register or else he will remind me many times again. It's quick and easy to register online with the one-time pin number. Need to know your IC number, Pin number, which bank account to deposit $ to and of course, your most important-bank account number. I remembered that there was once when my mummy wrote the wrong account number on my cheque. Instead, she wrote my sister's account number. Luckily, the bank people checked the cheque properly and gave me a call to ask me for the correct number, otherwise I think my money will end up in an unknown account. So before you deposit a cheque which is to be credited to your bank account, it's best to check whether the account number is right, write your full name, contact number behind the cheque and also cross your cheque at the top left-hand corner.
I have registered for my progress package, have you?
