今天請假，一大早就去監理站等著考筆試，同一批考試的大約有30人，都是懷德駕訓班的。
可能是因為我報名前就自爆"擁有國外駕照"，而且每次都開車到駕訓班練車，讓教練太放心了... 一直到考前1個多禮拜我才開始做筆試的練習題，由於時間不夠 (主要是因為我一個禮拜只去兩天)，我只好盡量每天讀一些，到了駕訓班就做幾張練習題，結果還讓我剛好在考前兩天把12張練習題做完，其中大概只有最後4張有達到85分的及格分。
考前最後一晚，我心裡有點慌，因為我還沒背熟所有的條規，書本裡面的練習題也還沒做完，可是要我這個離開學校三年的"工程師"再回去背這些條約規定數字真的很催眠... 我昨晚做練習題到最後已經是題目還沒唸完就已經闔上雙眼，半秒鐘後眼睛睜開時根本不知道題目是什麼... 不過有做的幾乎都可以答對，至少也可以猜對，所以我就不再掙扎，關燈睡覺。
晚上睡得不是很好，早上也是鬧鐘還沒響我就醒來過兩次，等鬧鐘真的響了我又爬不起來，還好早上沒塞車，我到監理站時還早了10分鐘，我就在車子裡多練習幾題，差點練到忘了時間。
進入考場，翻開試題，很慶幸地，我最害怕的罰多少錢吊幾個月的題目不多，做完算算大概只有4題沒把握。結果成績公佈，只有2個人不及格，有1個人考滿分，而我只錯1題，順利過關。
過了早上這一關，我才開始擔心自己路試會不會順利，於是我聽從教練的建議，提早到考場練習，果然第一圈就出狀況，S型倒車差點倒到安全島上... 經過教練指導後比較沒有問題，不過心理還是沒把握。練習完之後又等了約2個小時，終於輪到我上車，臨走前，教練還說我是他的強棒... 讓我不禁心虛了一下 (我沒跟他說我紐西蘭的駕照可是限制駕照啊~~~)，也有點後悔選擇手排，尤其是當我看到選自排的女生咻地退出S型彎道時...
第一關，倒車入庫，過關，第二關，路邊停車，過關，第三關，S型彎道... 倒出來超不通暢! 不過沒壓線，所以過關... 這時考官上車了，我不知道在緊張什麼，竟然忘了打回1檔，幸好沒直接踩油門... 接下來第四、五、六關都順利過關，到了最後一關直線加速的地方換檔的時間沒算好，在通過終點的最後半公尺才勉強打回1檔，鬆開離合器...
把車停好，走下車時教練還拿著DV在拍，直到聽到他恭喜我拿到駕照時我才發自內心的笑了出來，哈哈哈~ 我終於可以合法開車啦~
教練都會把學員學習&考試的過程用他的DV拍下來上傳到他的無名小站... (註: 他已經60多歲了)

Long time no see, Blogger
Having more time to myself recently, I could finally get my minds back on some of the things I gave up over work.
For example, I went to classes learning how to use softwares such as Photoshop and Corel Painter; I also enrolled to a driving school, and is finally going to drive legally in Taiwan; I had time to upload hundreds of photos up to flickr, and even categorized them into Sets and Collections; I went out more frequently, played paintball, played basketball once, watched a couple of movies, even went for a walk on a Sunday.
The latest addition to that list would be: I came back to check on my own blog! and it looks... exactly the same, just as I remembered it a year ago. The urge to make a change is so strong I started biting my teeth! I want to make it pretty! I want to post new stories! I want to make it come alive again! (has it.. ever?)
So, this post is an announcement (to myself) that I will start keeping my diary... more often! In truth, it's just a post to let everyone know that this blog is still up and running. I wanted to post something interesting but couldn't think of anything, so I might as well practice my English... I even changed the colour and the layout!

Ice Skating
酷愛溜冰的我, 在回到台灣十個月後, 總算找到機會&地方去涼快一下了
天氣這麼熱卻還要帶件外套出門的人大概不多見吧
搭了火車, 捷運, 公車到了台北小巨蛋
小巨蛋裡外都打掃的很乾淨, 設施雖然還不齊全, 但規劃的不錯
進去吃了中飯後迫不及待往冰宮方向走去
買了票, 租了鞋子, 護具, 甚至買了襪子跟手套後踏進溜冰場
果然涼爽... 不過幾秒後就覺得有點冷了
穿上帶來的外套, 換上溜冰鞋, 戴上手套和安全帽 (本來不想戴, 但馬上被工作人員制止)
踏上冰的感覺有點熟悉又有點生疏
大概是因為太久沒溜了感覺有點站不穩
試著滑了幾步後漸漸又抓到感覺
台灣雖然溜冰場不多但是場內仍然有不少高手
有人後溜溜地超順, 也有很多人會剉冰 (煞車), 甚至看到有人騰空轉了一圈
我則是盡量享受在冰上遊走的快感
我平常走路都比其他人慢一倍, 只有在這裡能夠有點速度, 這也是我特別喜歡溜冰的原因之一吧
可惜的是租的鞋子似乎小了一號, 溜到後來腳實在痛的受不了, 時間也快到了, 只好回家
晚上赫然發現兩腳內側各長了一個大水泡!!
我於是決定, 下次去要買雙自己的溜冰鞋!

Just another tiring day
Such a tiring day... as have been for most of my days ever since I got into this damned factory.
I got up late today, when I woke up it's already almost 8:30am!!
Oh well, the hell with it. We don't work by the clock anyway. I still felt a bit gulity toward my colleagues. I hope they can forgive me seeing that I usually work the longest hours.
Ahhh... Why is my brain filled with work related stuffs? Obviously because I have nothing much else to think about. I did something other than working today. I went to play basketball!
I just sounded like someone who's trying to be young by telling others he can play basketball!
Anyway I tried my best to finish my works for the day and rushed to the basketball court in an elementary school just behind our factory.
After not playing for almost a month... I felt like I haven't played basketball for almost a month.
We played full-court games, and just after 1 game I was already exhausted... our team lost.
After waiting for a very long time, I had my rest, and played a second game. This one lasted much much longer, and we won! My back felt like a breaking wooden stool though.
It's a good thing to free my mind on the court, even though it tires my body on top of a day's work.
