Happy again :)

Hurray ! I did it !! I did it at last !!

The wonders of attending a driving school and attempting the 4 e-trial tests !

I woke up at 1020hr this morning and thought I may not wanna take this test as I was not confident in passing and also lazy to wake up from my deep slumber. Luckily I did and did not waste any cab fare too ! I was late though, for the test. Arrived at the test venue at around 1150 hr and by then, almost all the candidates had already started on their test questions. Oh my ! Only God knew how harried and sweaty I looked just now, from all the half-running and half brisk walking from YCK bus interchange to SSDC (Singapore Safety Driving Centre) ! I "exercised" for a good 10-12 minutes or so !

Fortunately, I breezed through the test and emerged the 1st to pass in this test ! It was only after printing my result slip that I realised that I had completed the test in less than 10 minutes ! It may mean nothing to most people but it meant a lot to me. I am just another step towards obtaining a driving licence and one of my short-terms goals. I used to think that I need not go through all the trouble to study for the theory tests and practical tests, spend thousands just to get a stoopit piece of document as my ex-bf used to chauffer me around whenever he could. But alas, he is not longer around and I had to learn everything by myself and be independent.

Anyway, after that, I took the MRT to Orchard's California Fitness Club to look for an ex colleague, with the intention of a lunch appointment together. I was brought around the 3-storey fitness club, sauna and steam rooms etc and was especially tempted to obtain membership when my friend's manager agreed to gimme a special price for the 1 year membership. Clever she quickly led me to pay for the 3 months membership before I could say yes (although I did tell her that it is not a problem for me after she quoted the special price). In a matter of minutes, payment was done !

I came to realise that sales people love to break down big amounts to smaller amounts, so as to make the investment look small, eg they would say that you only need to spend about XX amt of dollars a month instead of 1 year's XXX dollars and immediately, at the back of the consumer's mind, the investment seems more worthwhile.

Nevertheless, I am happy to do something to upkeep my body and mind. I had been wanting to jog or go to the community gym regularly but did not feel motivated to do so. So, I think, having spent a sum of money for an upmarket gym, one will feel more motivated to exercise right ?? Hehehe. I will go for my very first Step Moves class at the Fitness Club tomorrow ! Gonna wake up early for the 1150hr class -_- But it's just a small sacrifice for a better body :)

Just see how it goes.
