how to continue fighting the battle the moment u know u lost it?
Kinda disappointed at myself. Though i knew i'd failed, i should at least put up a strong fight. But whats the point of struggling when u already expected the outcome. Blame it on my luck? Someone once said that luck is when preparedness meet opportunity. Despite the bad opportunity, preparedness should have kept me going. I felt prepared, but was i proven otherwise?
Im still quite discontented. Compared to my first test, this timing was supposed to be 'better'. But hey the circuit's like ten times more crowded than an hour before, and the traffic outside doesnt seem to have subsided too. The tester was nicer before too. Who's mean enough to make me go up a crowded slope, do the narrow 3pt turn and the narrow parallel p. Sigh. Felt like i did worst than my first time in circuit. zzz
And im even more vexed. Booking test dates is a pain in the ass for private takers. 1st july? Thats damn far. Plus im left with the first slot. -.- Ubi why u so cui one. Im seriously gonna go for one last try. Keep spamming lessons and tests aint cheap yknw.
Kinda embarrassed that i failed the 2nd time. Like most ppl passed on their 2nd try, if not the first. Feels like im ahead but still lagging so damn badly =(
And my father was suggesting maybe cos aljunied was just won by WP. Haha my tester must have been a pro-pap then!
Oh and WP's victorious in this elections! Finally contested and won in a GRC, something that greatly made the pap's legs turn jelly. They almost won JooChiat too! Haha went to one of their rallies and was more than just impressed. Every sentenced the speaker made would be followed by spontaneous response and cheers. And when they left, people are still chanting slogans and names! To be able to garner so much support is no small feat. Running the grc is neither too. They'll have alot to work on to live up to GY's standards.
Was disappointed when SPP lost both their battles in Bishan and PP. Watched their rally and even stayed up all the way to catch the result. But perhaps luck is not on their side. CST was really frail compared to last time, perhaps he should take a break and enjoy his retirement. I wonder if his CPF is taken away for being a hard opposition? xD
Im not really anti-pap, but this time round the pap really made themselves look very bad. False accusations towards WP, talking with such big ego, telling people that they'll repent when they themselves ought to be ashamed of a couple of national issues. In the end, they are so afraid of the competition that they have to apologise and gain some votes. There's also the legendary TPL. Felt so unjust to have her in our parliament than capable ppl like NS, GY, CST, and almost anyone else.
So much for being promoted, i went to draw money today and saw that my pay hasn't increased at all. Another downswing. Workload have been immense this week. Hate it when there's exercises. Waste our time changing to bigger fuel tanks when u do not fully utilise them. And squeezing 5 washes in 2 nights. We're washing jets leh, not cars. Work hours are so long that staying out doesnt seem to benefit. I just hope for this week to end soon.
And i think Singapore's repenting right now. The weather's sooo freaking hot! Never knew blogging could made me perspire so much.
