Pandarific!!

I FINALLY PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!! NOW EVERYONE I PROMISED TO DRIVE AROUND MAY proceed to counter 5 to collect your gift certificate....lol i'm kidding, i'll drive you around, as promised, haha. I was so nervous that i didn't want to sit at all and ended up standing for 3 hours. I now have a terrible leg ache thanks to it, but it's ok, because... I PASSED! lol, i didn't mind waiting forever for the results (not really when i rethink about it) to come out. My mom came too...lol, it was random, but she finished her banking and decided to drop by and send me lunch...yes that's how long i waited...lunch had to be SENT to me.

Oh yea, met some random people there too. Samson, from youth, he was like "Hi Amanda," and i was shocked. lol. Second is this girl i met in the car when i was doing QTI, she didn't recognise me at first, but i refreshed her memory. The she introduced me to her friend. And samson introduced me to this guy he just randomly made friends with today. LoL. So i had people to talk to.

Funny/petrifying at that moment things happened today. First, i had to wait SOOOO long to do the test. Second, the driver uncle just made it in time to fetch me there. Thirdly, the car i was supposed to use had 2, i repeat 2 JPJ tester guys. fourthly, there was a rumour goin on that many people failed today (i saw many with my own eyes too). Fifth, the JPJ guys were NOT in a good mood. yup. Go figure you know.

So, i saw two guys in the car, i panicked, my mom and samson kept on telling me to calm down. I finally did la, my mom prayed with me, and then i got in. My mom actually prayed for me like the whole time i was driving. Yup, so turns out, the 2 guys in a car thing, BIG HELP. cause they were busy talking to each other. Did everything, didn't mati engine, hehe and oh ya this crazy taxi almost banged me at the roundabout, but HE was in the wrong and even the JPJ guy said so. and the lady was doing the finger to eye thing to me, and i was thinking "What's up with her?" Finished the whole thing, he asked me if i ate already, i said, no, he said he didn't have lunch yet too. Got my results, smiled and happyness!! lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala

Well, lynn says that i can't migrate now since i've passed, because before this, the first time i was unfairly judged, i told her if that ever happened again i would migrate to another country and get the lisence there and never return.

To sum it up, well the whole time i was waiting, i remembered yesterday's message and about God preparing and placing everything in order before something happens, and it looks like He must have done something to make those two JPJ guys decide to get into the car together at the time of my test, because i forgot to mention that, the car i got into was the ONLY car which had two JPJ guys in it. The rest were all normal. Horrifying as it seemed at that time, it was actually for my good, =). And He also put in so many people whom i know to chat with to calm me down. So yeah, don't we serve an Awesome God?

Ok, if this isn't already a fact to everyone then just to let you know, i love all those old traditional disney movies they used to make when i was still a kid! Yes, the ones that they drew out each movement on a new sheet and personally coloured it! Those ones. Ex: Mulan, Hercules, Lion king etc. Have you also noticed how good their songs are? They wrote songs especially for the movie and it really means alot. Songs that i love (and can still remember)

And many more....pst...guess which movie those songs were from! No googling!! lol. Another thing you should notice, if you rewatch these movie are the jokes in it, the jokes that we never got as kids. We just laughed at the funny scenes. Ok here are some lines:

MULAN

Mushu: The truth is we're both frauds. Your ancestors never sent me, they don't even like me. But you risked your life to help people you love. I risked your life to help myself. At least you had good intentions.
[Cri-Kee chirps sadly at Mushu]
Mushu: What? What do you mean you're not lucky? You lied to me?
Mushu: [to Mulan's horse] And what are you, a sheep?

Mushu: My little baby, off to destroy people.

HERCULES

Panic: "Hercules." Why does that name ring a bell?
Pain: I don't know. Um, maybe we owe him money?

---

Hercules: Aren't you...a damsel in distress?
Meg: I'm a damsel, I'm in distress, I can handle this. Have a nice day.

Meg: Megara. My friends call me Meg. At least they would if I had any friends. So did they give you a name along with all those rippling pectorals?

So my friends, just tell me ur top ten disney movies and your top 5 disney songs. Can? can!yay!

IT'S BACK!! FMA IS BACK!! I WATCHED THE FIRST 3 EPISODES OF FMA: BROTHERHOOD AND IT'S HILLARIOUS!!

Ok, ok calm down. I knew about it since last year thanks to maki, she told me about it, and i was really excited, but somehow i kinda forgot the month it would come out. And so, thanks to me joining the FMA fanclub on dev art (that was how crazy i was about FMA last time) they had a link to the episodes! And it loaded fast too! so the story kinda repeats alot of the old series, i don't know why though, but i love the songs they choose for the intro and ending. They made it funnier to and more chibi moments. Ahhh, i just totally went back into my Edward fandom when i heard his voice for the first time again in so many years!!! But they changed Roy mustangs voice....awww....the new voice sounds realy young and it's higher than the original voice, no more cckyness in his voice somehow....that's the only sad part, they did change some stuff in the storyline (if you're comparing to season 1) so it's a bit confusing. heh......i want more!! This is how i was when saw the ad on animax:

animax: Fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood, airing same time as japan
Me: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! *points finger at tv*
my mom: You know, i never know what you're talking about, i have to descipher and analyze what you're.....
Me: *still screaming*

I'm that crazy. Help me. haha

So far for two days i have been a/an:
1) Salami (14/4)
2)Onion(15/4)

More to come! check my msn sub display message! haha

Oh yes, it's still christmas in my house, yup. Still christmas people!

Anyone notice how excrutiatingly SLOW the internet has been?

Seriously? ok, today i went for my driving test, i passed track but failed road, and you know what, i checked the form and ok, so 2 mistakes were justified, but the other 3 weren't. I DID signal before i turned, in fact i signalled so much the ppl behind could practically trace where i wanted to go. And how are u supposed to go up to 3rd gear, risking yourself going over the speed limit of oh i don't know...40km/h (even i didn't drive THAT slow the first time)....well anyway, the main thing was, the roundabout, i was doing ok, till the 'guy' asked me to go to the wrong lane, which i had to cause he was insisting that he had to explain something to me. And when i did, he said i went to the wrong lane....honestly, how unfair is that?? So he actually drew out the roundabout for me, tried to explain, of course he was speaking malay and saying i went to the wrong, lane, i tried to tell him that HE was the one who ASKED me to do that, but he denied it (duh!), so after some time, he thought i didn't get what he was saying and wrote it all down for me to read, his writing was illegible and horrandous, he even drew out the roundabout (aww how cute....*rolls eyes*) so he took over the wheel, oh seriously in my mind i was like "hey why don't i drive back and you'll have the time of your life". Oh gosh, anyway, he also failed another indian girl, must have been the same thing. SO i THINK he's racist too, i dunno, i'm not SAYING he's racist, i just think he is. Now if you don't already know this, it is said, to pass your driving license in Malaysia (truly asia) you have to bribe the officers. There are probably some ppl who didn't do so and still pass the first time, well good for them, but the chances are if you don't bribe, they will find fault with you on your first try. I already knew that, that's why i argued with the fella. So here's an article i found:

Bribery still rampant

IT IS common knowledge that one can bribe one's way to a driving licence. If you're willing to cough up some extra dough, there are driving instructors who are more than willing to help you take the easy way out.

Sometimes, it is even at their instigation.

“But no one dares to bribe anyone to get the licence in America,” says Sanjeev who works in California, the United States.

Despite the constant denial, the incidence of buying licences happens openly in Malaysia. A check showed that many driving schools were offering such packages for motorcycle and car licences.

“This has been going on all the while and will not be easy to eradicate. This depends a great deal on the sincerity of the candidates as well as the driving school personnel and JPJ (Road Transport Department) testers. Apart from that, defaulters should be severely punished,” says CAP President S.M Mohamed Idris.

Even a well-established driving school with branches around the Klang Valley for instance offers a guaranteed pass for a car licence to prospective students for RM1,500. According to an employee of the driving school, the fee for a guaranteed pass was RM1,298 before.

How about those people who are not proficient at reading and can’t pass the theory test which is computerised?

“Don't worry. We have our ways. You will be able to do your test in a day when no one is around,” said the employee.

The one thing that could not be compromised is the parking test, which is in full view of everyone.

Student Hairy*, 26, says that on matter of principle he refused to bribe his way to get a licence.

Not surprisingly, he failed a few times before getting it.

“My instructor told the tester that I would not pay a bribe. I think they finally gave up and I got my licence after three tries,” he says.

Describing them as ‘licences to kill', Association of Malaysian Driving Institute’s president Mat Aris Bakar says he is aware of the practice of bribery. “This practice cannot be tolerated,” he adds.

The Road Transport Department declined to comment. << why do you think?? obvious much?

So who's to blame? the authorities or the people who actually pay these bribes, well i think it's both. Seriously, if everyone stopped paying then we may actually start having a FAIR driving test system. Like they say for the endangered animals "when the buying stops, so does the killing" so now it's: "When the bribes stop, so does the decline in human morality" i quote “But no one dares to bribe anyone to get the licence in America,” says Sanjeev who works in California, the United States. Ok, why can the US do it and Malaysia can't, simple lah, 3rd world mentality. I was thinking, those who have 1st world mentality usually migrate and what's left in the country?? 3rd world mentality citizens. A SANE person with a 1st world mentality will NOT stay in a place like this. I wouldn't, i don't want to actually. HA.

Another fun fact for you is, Malaysian driving license is not accepted in any other countries, my church member's dad, they migrted to Aussie, he had to RETAKE the test. My mom's old classmate also commented on the malaysian driving lisence (she lives in the UK), totally not accepted there. (qoute from forum) "If you have been to overseas you will know, our license is not recognized in other countries because it is too easy to have one and you will still need to retake the driving license in those countries."

Anyway, that's my rant. You want to read more about how other people think about this issue? just click the link, have fun agreeing to everything they say, lol. http://www.usj.com.my/bulletin/upload/showthread.php?t=19633,

My movie review for the movie: Another cinderella story.
At the end of the movie i was wondering to myself, was this a dance show? a musical? well if you read the summary of the movie you get the feeling that this is a dancing movie, but then i see there's a lot of singing in it.....

Another cinderella story is like what the sotry says, it's another cinderella story, you have cinderella known here as mary, the evil step mother, 2 evil stepsisters and of course the prince. But there's some extra, there's an extra evil girl...wow. And cinderella has a best friend. They meet at the ball, check.She leaves something behind, check. The prince goes looking out for her, check.they fall in love check. Now the evil stepsisters are act really dumb, reminds me of the evil stepsisters from cinderella girl (the hillary duff one) so does the evil step mom, now that's ok, that's normal. What's not normal is the middle of the show. I'll not give spoilers here, but my theory of why this happened is this....the producers must have thought, "Oh, it's called another cinderella story....or is it?" so they add a twist in the middle. A very confusing twist if you ask me. seriously. It's hard to explain, but i was thinking to myself "What was the point of that conflict?" wa it because they needed to give the evil stepsisters a chance to get back at her? they did that already really.

But anyway, there were some nice parts i have to say so myself. So if you want to check it out yourself, then knock yourself out.
