Well well, today I've finally made it back to BBDC.
(# BBDC - Bukit Batok Driving Center)

Oh wow wow ,
It's really been a long time since I return to that place.
(1 month yet 20 days. -_- holy crap )

Reason is because I'm having financial difficulties now and then
(jeez..$58 per lesson)
Yet worth it .

Anyways,
I Had this practical trainning session today in the noon.
I'm jus glad that I haven't forget all those stuffs that were taught in my previous lessons.

I've by the way improved greatly today.
Finally able to move on from a stationery position.
(Horray~ 'cos that's my weak point.)

I would say that was a really hard procedure for beginners like me because,
I'm taking manual gear course,
so moving off from a stationery position requires lot's of co-ordination of the legs and arms.

For ma'legs, I nidda step on the accelerator and the clutch though
(Man I wished I've a 3rd leg for the brake.)

Oh yea, up till today, I still feels that the clutch is really one piece of irritating equipment...
(Allah, damn it.)

Anyway, to move off the car, I nidda step abit of the accelerator and SLOWLY release the clutch pedal. If release to fast, the damn car would had an engine stall

(# Engine Stall - Series of irriating sounds and this is the time you get the chance to see a car hop and hop and hop ....)

So, slow release of the clutch is a hard technique to come by when especially I've to control the sterring wheel, check the traffic, depress the acclerator, check blind spots.
(Duh, multi- tasking.)

Right, that's so much about moving a car.
It ain't easy as I first thought it would be .

Today I met someone who unexpectedly enlightened me.
He's my car instructor.
When comming to an end of the lesson, he asked about my school and course.

Well, I told him I'm from SP and currently taking computer networks.
To my surprise, he knows the course so well, told me that was actually his dream course.
He's taking electronics course now, which he says that it was a low worthy course 'cause for this course you dun realli need an O level cert (*=.=*)

I told him this,

"Well, to be honest, I dun really think that I'll work out in the IT business as nowadays, my lecturer told me that only security areas are much more in demand compared to technicians like me. Especially Microsoft now are so automated. Human presence are not needed during the installations. Which means my pay would be low in the future..."

He was surprised about what I said and he told me this,

"No leh, actually IT professions like you are in high demand right now, I mean, if you put it this way, if there are no people like you to help maintain the servers, troubleshoot networking issues, do u think that those high priced equipments in the office would ever work ? Take for example in BBDC, we have IT department too right, our website also need maintenance ma. If one day the website down then what are we supposed to do, ask the uncle from canteen to take a look at it meh. Of course need people who had the knowledge to do it ma. Right?"

After hearing this, I totally agreed with his stand. I was still driving as we talked, I asked since he was interested in my course so much, why didn't he wanna enter it.

He told me that he did badly for his O levels, got about 27 points though.

At that moment, I realised one thing.

Every job has it's own purpose.

It doesn't really matters that what kind of jobs u take in the future, be it a low paid job, or a well paid one.

There are tons of people out there without a skill, but I'm different.
I've computer networking skills, I could do a part in society, I'm not a useless person.

I should appreciate my blessing to be able to at least enter poly and get into a course that taught me stuffs and skills.

People like my instructor want that course so much but yet he's so far from it. However, I'm in it right now, and I'm making a mess out of it.. (Sighz..)
What am I doing, I wonder.

If I couldn't do well in school, let alone surviving out there.
Maybe I should buck up and start to look at things in a different way.

I may start out as a small technician in the future with a gross salary of $1200 per month, but in life there are opportunities I believe.

It takes eevry step to reach a destination, there are no shortcuts in life.
I maybe low paid in the beginning, but I believe all this would change if I were to work hard enough.
(Hmm.)

Man am I suprised to suddenly had all these to pop up of my mind allegedy.
To be honest, I myself have been looking forward bout my future, worrying it, working for it ever since Wei xing told me about his problem the other day.

Anyway, I guess that's all part of life.
I'm going 20 this year, I guess all that experiences would be comming towards me.

Alter Ego ~!
Never fear~!. Moving ahead.
