Confuscious Confusion...

Seawal 8:30 am tadi aku dah menunggu di depan Masjid Al-Hidayah tuk Cikgu (aku panggil Pakcik jer...) Karim pick me up there (Hish... apesal tetiba aku guna bahasa Melayu nih? ni mesti sebab puisi jiwang karat tu masih bersisa dalam template blog aku nih :p). Today is the day for the 6 hours of theoretical/practical class for driving!

After quite a long wait (usual-lah about 1 hour) baru la kelas bermula... The instructor introduced himself as "MEC" wallahua'lam is it his real name or not. But he IS such a confusing teacher. As a matter of fact, today is full of confusing people & things. The analogy he used was so confusing that if one stops listening for a while, one cannot get the meaning of what he is trying to relay. For example he used his (so-called) name MEC in a sentence to make us remember the 6 major errors done by students. The sentence goes like this; "MEC Dah Tak Suka", so the 6 errors are MECDTS which are actually for M=meter (as in > 50 km/hr), E=enjin (stalled, etc.), C=cermin (forgot to check the rear & side mirrors), D=divider, T=traffic lights, S=simpang. Can you catch it or not?

Altogether it was so confusing that we paid so much attention to it that we remember almost all of the lessons (huh, I guess his objective of catching our attention paid off afterall). After that it was the other 3 hours of workshop class where we were tought how to service the car, change tires, lubricating oil, etc. I was in a class of 10 people (7 females + 3 males) with a Kancil and an Indian instructor (quite old, around 48-55). You can imagine how the instructor would talk. Indian-slang Malay mixed with the technical terms of the engine. Sooooooooo confusing! I thank God so much that I've learnt about engine when I was in Form 3, learnt about it again when I took NGV class with Dr. Zul in UTM, thank God 'coz I've been exposed to servicing a car by my dearest Papa since I was a child. And thank God again for His wonderful gift of a great intuition and brain. Or else I don't think I'll survive that class 'coz I won't be able to understand what the hell the instructor was babbling about.

All in all, although I'm tired (wrecking my brain to max limit to understand everything) and hungry (yeah, thinking took a LOOOOOTTTT of efforts, that's why you rarely see a huge/fat/ college professor), I came back home with a lot of new information for me to use in another 2 weeks... on the track. Huhuhuhu... couldn't wait!!

And talk about confusion... I am currently reading 3 books (my usual habit ever since I started working). 1st book is One for The Money my Evanovich. This one is an e-book so I only read it during lunch hours at the office or when I really had nothing tangible to read on hand. So far as expected of the Stephanie Plum bounty hunter series, it was hilarious. Some confusion in there but still understandable by the ever so complex mind of mine. I really wish I had a PDA or a tablet so that I can read the e-book anywhere because I had nearly 500 (I think) titles of e-book that I downloaded over the net. It's hard to read them all or even one without a computer and a Microsoft Reader (it's in Lit. format).

Another book is a Malay novel called Rengsa by Zharulnizam Shah. Just started this one last night. The introduction was a bit confusing but after a few more pages I started to understand the whole picture if not the motive of murder (O yeah... I tend to like mysteries, murder & science. Romance I layan juga.... hey, I have TWO sides of brain to satisfy, OK!).
And the most confusing of all is the novel by Michael Crichton called The Andromeda Strain. I bought this piece at the Payless Books last week (you can check out the rest of my collection here) for RM 2.40 and I'm beginning to think that this one worth every damn cents. Well, to tell you the truth Michael Crichton novel made your money worth it (even if you buy it firsthand at about RM 50). I'm quite a big fan of his novels (not him). Actually I just started this book this morning while waiting for Cikgu Karim to pick me up and continued reading during the breaks & boring minutes I was at the institute. I'm currently at the 3rd chapter & I already found a binary code to crack. Fuuuuhhhh... Really exciting and mind boggling + yessss... confusing. For simple minded people who are looking for light reading material... don't ever touch Michael Crichton's. Or 2 pages you'll doze off to lala land. Heheheh...

OK, to bookworms, happy reading this nice weekend! To the people who's taking classes for their P driving license like me, Good Luck! (Suddenly I remember Takuya Kimura... never mind I'll talk about Good Luck in another post). Happy holiday to all, we'll face a new year in just about a week, stay alive!!
