DRIVING
i've waited a long long time to learn to drive. long long time. so when i finally went to the driving centre, well......... let's just say things were not like what i dreamed of.
DREAMS AND EXPECTATIONS:
nice air-conditioned place, maybe plaster ceiling, friendly crowd, fast check in system, happy clerks.
REALITY:
atap roof, no air-con, a clerk who shows me a sulky face when my fingerprint cannot be scanned by the computer, idiot (those who went with me know who i am refering to, and no, it's not the clerk) who has a brain but doesn't use it, need i say more?
DREAMS AND EXPECTATIONS 2:
a nice understandable college or uni style lecturer plus comfy hall with adequate air-conditioning. good reference books with a language that i could understand. (ok, uni lecturer is a bit over the top...)
REALITY 2:
trailer which creaks every time we move, peeling walls and teacher who keeps saying *MEMANDU ITU BAHAYA!!!*, reference book which has yellowing pages. i scanned the first page.... and spotted *diterbit pada 1988*.
BTW, the food there is OVERPRICED and NOT NICE. so for those who are going to take your driving lessons at SEPAKAT, i advice you either (a) bring your own food (b) not eat at all or (c) have a heavy breakfast.
P.S my dreams and expectations are just a product of my own imagination.

freedom taste sweet.... until you realised what you missed.
after a long drought (the last time i posted something was in august) (that also only a picture), i am back!!!!
why?
because the trials are OFFICIALLY OVER!!!!!
no more sleeping at 3.
no more texting each other at 3 to stay awake.
no more staring at the test paper cursing myself on why-did-i-skip-that-part-last-night-when- i-am-studying-and-jpn-decided-to-put-it-inside.
no more dirty-pig-style-room!!
scratch the last point. room still a mess.
so as i was looking through my last few posts, i stumbled on the one about winning a prize from hitz. (i know it's long long donkey years long time ago, but i have very few posts...) then i was like, "oohh, 6 comments! let's read..."
ok so *scroll scroll*...
*scroll*
*scroll*
until i saw this comment by ADAM.
ADAM?
ADAM C?
*clink on the name/link*
*saw 'ADAM''S profile*
.....yes it was ADAM C from hitz.fm.
*ho sue ann is in shock*
P.S. let's name this the day ho sue ann discovered that ADAM C commented on her blog, of which she did not touch for months, of which she would have read it if she did decided to not be lazy and visit her stagnant blog.
see! it doesn't pay to be lazy.
ho sue ann learnt it the hard way.

a year older.... but not much of a difference
okay, so i am now officially 17. (precisely on 19 July on 2.05 pm)
and there's a (supposed) hype surrounding the oh-congratulations-you-are-seventeen-form-five-already-hor. but on my birthday, i felt terribly......
depressed.
desolate.
lonely.
dissapointed.

pfftt! teachers!
sometimes, i have a feeling that teachers think a bit (a lot) too highly of themselves.
as in, because they are teachers, they are like kings or queens in school. but it is rather true. i mean look at the way we treat our teachers (in convent).
1. we have to bow a little and greet them.
2. we have to stand and welcome them (when they enter class)
3. we have to follow their every order or whim (i.e. flapping our hands around the class during pn cecilia's period)
4. we have to (patiently) deal with their horrid mood swings. (......i can't put her name here)
so, it's no wonder that the teacher's get a little bit proud and cocky at times. (naik kepala) they think they are better than us students. i mean, come on, we students are still HUMANS. HOMO SAPIENS, just like you. we are just a lil' younger than you. just because you hold the coveted "teacher" title, doesn't make you a much better human than us.
yes, we must respect our teachers but then, do they respect us.
look at this situation. me and vivian were supposed to go to this competition at ppd, on the same day as the kuiz kimia. so, we were told to go see this teacher, Pn.M, to ask on when can we retake the exam. so off we went to find her. then when we found her, we (as usual) knocked on the door of the sc lab. and was left waiting for 5 minutes before she shift her attention to us. (mind you she wasn't even teaching at that time) then she was like

"SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY AND BE GONE".
I WAS LIKE PFFT?! be gone!!!? i'm not rubbish or something. to make matters worst she really didn't care whether we wondering if it was possible to retake our exam.
all she cares is that she needs to go back home at (precisely) 1.30 to cook.
