Cos i had a bad day..
3.45am: Live tranmissions of the Euro 2008 semi-final match between Turkey and Germany were cut off due to a storm in Vienna, Austria. Missed 3 late goals as a result.
4.30am: Final score Germany 3 Turkey 2 despite my Turkey having dominated the match, exploiting Germany's weakness in their left flank like Croatia did and despite Germany having only 4 shots at goal, 3 of them on target. There goes my favourite team of the tournament.
7.15am: Started my riding warmups. All went smoothly.
9.45am: TP tester nicknamed Bulldog by Booker Wong checked my particulars and returned my IC, marking the start of the TP test.
9.55am: Started my TP riding test.
10.05am: Received immediate failure for putting my right foot down, something which i have not done ever since the very first few lessons i had in riding. Didn't even manage to go on the road. WTF.
10.10am: Decided to go to NYP for lunch cos i was to disappointed to just sit and wait in SSDC for the announcement of results at 11.15am (i failed, duh.)
10.30am: Decided to drown my sorrows by buying two cans of nescafe latte and reading the new paper at the staircase towards the carpark exit, near the swimming pool area. Opened both cans, smashed both of them into each other and drank both at the same time. Something like this..
11.00am: Walked to the bus stop near SSDC, sat there and played the Marble game in my Nokia phone to pass the time.
11.10am: Decided to walk back to SSDC. On my way there, while walking past the AMK fire station, saw those civil defence guys wearing their anti flame suit as well as their smoke filtering masks while playing soccer in their carpark. Civil defence guys sure have it easy. I can surely trust them to do the job right if i were to be involved in a fire incident.
11.15am: Reached SSDC and went on to collect my result, handed to me by Booker's favourite TP tester, the Bulldog. He mentioned to me that putting my right foot down was a definite no-no. As if i didnt know that.
12.00noon: Reached home. Had a nasty feeling called failure deep inside of me. In the words of the late c2y, i feel like whacking someone ady.
1.00pm: Decided to go to sleep..and look forward to the next test on the 7th of August.
p.s. Yesterday, i made a comment to CJT saying tt if Turkey were to lose in the semi final match against Germany, then i will fail TP test. How true that came out to be. Next time, i'm never gonna curse myself like that ever again.
