Refresher course

After the day daddy got me to practice my driving at the carpark, I was slowly losing 'interest' but encouraged by a nice friend recently, I finally plucked up my courage and went to sign up for my driver refresher course today!

I left home early today and dropped by at the Kovan CDC for my enrolment. I stopped for a couple of seconds and had almost backout when I saw the male instructors at the centre but I quickly told myself that it's silly to have such fears, since most driving instructors are male kekeke. So, to avoid further procrastination, I pushed myself to walk into the office and voila! - my registration's done and even the lessons' dates are picked and paid for. However, as I've specific timings to go for, the earliest date I could get is in mid April... by then our Alfa would have been sold liao hahaha, so any self practice will be on the other car, stress... Nevermind, I must tell daddy to buy a 'smaller' car for me hehehe - Anyway, I hope, with or without 'my car', I would be able to upkeep my driving skills after this refresher, else the fees for this course + the time spent would be wasted. Geez, it's so much more expensive now, it cost me S$331.70 just for 4 sessions + the registration fees(S$32.10)! I remember it was only S$22/hr when I was learning then.

It started to rain as I was reaching Renee's school and when her class finally ended, the rain was already quite heavy! I told Renee that we'll try to dash out and catch a taxi home but this naughty girl wanted to go gai gai, in her stroller! So we had to stay and whilst waiting, I gave her bread to eat...
The rain was still as heavy even at half an hour later and so we were still stucked there. The principal was very kind to offer me coffee and milo for Renee, though I declined as I certainly hope we don't have to stay there for too long hahaha.
At that moment, I was really glad that I've signed up for the refresher man! heeeee

As the rain began to lessen a little, I quickly get Renee to put on the poncho we've got from Pediasure quite some time ago(we used to mix Pediasure to her milk) but she looked pathetic - couldn't really move her hands abt 'cos I've forgotten that there are buttons on the sides to make the 'sleeves'! hahaha. So, with that 'difficulty' in mind, I headed to Kiddy Palace and bought her a pink raincoat which we had failed to get earlier. Got her the M size though the S fit her nicely but I wanted a length that could cover her legs hahaha(so she'd have to fold the sleeves)

Almost got the weather shield for the stroller too, but decided against it as they do not provide much ventilation and I thought, if I were to really drive, then I don't think we'll need the stroller's cover, right? However, when I got back home, I had an idea! - I cut off the poncho's hood, put it over the stroller and guess what, It fit perfectly!!! So I saved $ for not having to get a stroller cover and not wasting the poncho too hehehe.

Renee ate a total of 2 pcs of milk bread before we arrived at Mcdonald's again for her cup of corn(initally she cldn't decide on whether to have her mashed potato at KFC or the cup corn but we went for the latter cos KFC was surprisingly more crowded this time). She even had 1/2 pc of chicken nugget(she was too full to finish it up lolz). It was pretty close to 4pm when we got to Kiddy palace and I insisted that she naps in the stroller else we'll have to go home then and there. Fearing that I won't bring her to the library, she fell asleep after the 3rd 'scolding' hahaha. However, daddy told me over the mobile that he might not be able to pick us up early, so I decided to bring her home instead. I left her to continue sleeping in the stroller even when we were home and not too long later, daddy called to ask where we were... alamak, what a good timing, always!(It was still raining when I called him and he must hv been afraid that his darling would be caught in e rain...)
When Renee woke up, found herself in the stroller, she wailed : "I want to go to library!..." hahaha
Hopefully, I wld be able to take her there tomorrow...
