Free and freed
I am rather free and bored now that projects and school assignments are over. Looking forward to internship on the 3rd of September, but I will have to sit for examinations first. They are not exactly that fearful, but it is the tiring process where I'll have to study. Though knowledge makes me a better person.

Im finally going for driving lessons again after a long month break. And im waiting. Its only 1130. 3 more hours before I drive.

Time Flies (cliché)

Driving
Its now Monday. My driving lesson was nice and an accident nearly happened. It was at a 2 direction 2 laned (that is to say 1 lane for 1 direction) crampy alley with a single continuous white line in the centre. And moreover, there were cars parked on the lane that I was traveling, so I had to pass the divider and drove in an against traffic flow manner which was quite dangerous. However, the almost accident was not with the cars from the opposite direction. There was this cab in front of me alighted a passenger and while I was driving past him, his "car head" came out, nearly banged onto us. (avoided because of my fast reflex action, just giving some credits lah)

In contrast, the instructor was asking me about emergency brake and if I had practised before. I did that before and was able to explain to him. The emergency brake has to be executed, when the instructor hit the front part of the car and you will have to brake immediately. Very very long after he asked about the emergency brake, he tapped the front part and still I continued driving and only 2 seconds later had I realised I had to brake.

Magazines
I went to buy some Taiwan Magazines and they are nice. Full of pictures-clothes, shoes everything, nice looking people in nice looking outfits and Im sure that there is a lot of information just that its a bit hard to read Chinese.
