life after SPM

as you can see, i haven't been posting any thing for some time now because well, i'm busy trying to relax. but trying as hard as you can doesn't mean getting and i really am very busy doing almost everything i can besides relaxing and studying. besides, streamyx is becoming more and more annoying these days...... but you see, not everyone is as rich as the eldest son of the owner of the silky girl company or other companies and so i have been hunting and applying for any scholarships reachable, even though the chance for success is about 0.01%. but put it this way:

0.01% x 10=0.1%
0.01% x 100=1%
0.01% x 1000=10%
0.01% x 10000=100%

in another words, if i submit 10000 applications, i'll definitely get a scholarship! fun right?! but maybe i stand a higher chance in some of the applications so the number may go down to 2000, maybe less......

anyway, i took up driving lessons recently and for the 1st time, i drove a car LEGALLY! the difference between the legal driving experience and the illegal driving experience is:

• legal: use nothing but an overused kancil
• illegal: use any car of any type. manual, automatic...... you name it.
  

• legal: look out for the other cars!
• illegal: look out for the cops!

etc etc etc.......

someone called me crazy for taking up driving because i already have a bike and i'm not getting a car any sooner than the day i buy one for myself. well, it's really nice to be able to wheeze between cars during traffic jams but riding under a scorching sun or in a rain storn isn't something really nice either. besides, riding at about 80km/h in average for 1 full hour really sucks whereas i can go at 100km/h for 2 hours really comfortably. so i prefer to have both options open for me.

besides, i took up some course called the Certified Financial Planning (CFP). it's about planning your budget in order to get a maximum benefit. you can use it to plan for your own future but it also make you eligible to work as a professional financial counselor. imagine ME planning your money for you... hehehe...

*i met clinton otten today in the driving academy and he told me that his brother wesley is a prodigy of him in many ways except that wesley is a later version and also a better one. surprisingly (he said so himself), clinton has done more work to help his brother in his form 4 stuff more than he has done when he was one! what a nice brother, let's give him a round of applause!!
