bustiquette

met up with some girlfriends on friday night for Mona Lisa Smile. sorry i mistook the ticket to be $7.50. -oops- damn the cinemas for creating so many different ticket prices!

Mona Lisa was pretty cool a movie, in my humble opinion. very chick flicky. julia roberts was great, albeit her role wasn't anything to holler about.
it was actually kinda cliche, the whole art-history-lecturer-come-to-break-deeply-rooted-traditions thang; but the movie was still mostly enjoyable, nonetheless.
oh, and cro-magnum males may skip this and simply head for paycheck, scary movie 3, brother bear or any current movie that does not require a whole lot of thinking.

saw this amusing advert on the bus while going to the cinema, too. it's about proper bustiquette. yes, i kid you not.

it was something like,
"flag the bus before it reaches the busstop, then you're sure to catch your bus",
"do not run around on the bus, so you won't fall (or something along those lines)",
and then there were more lines about pressing the bell before the bus reaches one's designated stop, and so on, so forth.

i can't believe they've actually come up with these. it's positively embarrassing. i shall cease to be a member to the bus-taking public.
-shudders-

and i had driving lesson today.
it was absolutely horrid.

the instructor i got just had to insist on being completely mute throughout the entire lesson, save for the occasional turn left, turn left, and what else? turn left, please.

i was negotiating sharp corners today. after about 3 sharp left turns it was pretty obvious i needed some guidance on that because i kept going onto the neighbouring lane, i didn't turn as quick and i also didn't return the steering wheel as fast as i should have.

i expected the instructor to at least take the initiative to advice, teach, or say something that would at least be of some help to me;
but nooooo, i guess this guy just wanted some independent learning on my part while he lepak-ed in the passenger seat.

dude! i didn't pay $66.54 to rent the bloody car and the bloody circuit just so i could make 40 odd appalling 90 degree left turns while you lean back and watch my oscar contender Horried Left Turns.

so today was a wasted lesson. sheesh. the worse thing was he even had the audacity to tell me that my left turns weren't good at the end of the lesson.
oh hello?? did it ever occur to you that by the tenth turn i was nearly seething with anger with each turn i made because you refuse to contribute?
i suppose not since you were probably hallucinating about your next smoke break.

oh excuse me while i'm pissed. i cannot help if some people just weren't able to do their jobs properly.
