On Sunday we had a Juniors/Sunday School programme in the parsonage. Uncle Jeffrey talked for a bit, then they handed out the good attendance presents, and then we got to know our Sunday School teachers and class venues for the year, and finally got to eat char siew pau!

I got 100% attendance, though it can't be, since I think I missed a lesson when I was in Italy. Our teachers for 2009 are Aunty Jee Nee (still) and Uncle Sam. And even though our class is quite big, they've displaced us from our original big classroom to the smaller one previously occupied by the Sec 1s last year. Hmph. Plus the older seniors get the nice seminar room! Unfair!

At night we went to the Bukit Timah Market near our house to eat dinner, and surprise, we met Uncle Wong Keng and his family there! It was really a surprise because they live all the way in Hougang, but apparently they were visiting the grandparents.

I had a dream where I was late for my last A level paper, which was an afternoon paper, so I didn't notice the time pass until it was too late to make it to school on time, and I chionged like I never chionged before in my life. Of course, in the dream-state, it was all weird here and there.

Today for my driving lesson I got to drive on the road. It was mostly in a smaller carpark at first, but then there was some driving on the small roads, and finally on a real road. When I say real, I mean there were more than two cars driving in both lanes at each time, and even a bus or two. Some car honked at me for being slow, and I know I'm at fault, but I hope they'll be kinder to us poor learners!

I was let off near the Bukit Gombak MRT station, but I thought I'd seen 970 go on a road nearby, so I brilliantly walked towards that road to the bus stop, only to find that I was WRONG. So I had to walk all the way back to the mrt bus stop, which only has 945, that doesn't go to the bus stop I'm used to going to to change bus.

But I saw that it goes to the interchange, so I cleverly took it to the interchange, which has 852 and 77. Since the 77 driver came first, I boarded the bus and tapped my card, before taking a precautionary measure to ask the driver whether it went to Dunearn Road. To my surprise, the driver said something about it turning before Dunearn, and told me to take 852.

Thankfully, the driver did something to return me the money in my card, [thank you bus uncle!] and I went to the 852, but I think the driver didn't understand English very well. Hmph. Only later I realised the 77 goes to Toh Tuck, where Yihui and family live. SO the trip would be longer, and I'd probably have to pay more.

I want my student fares back now!
