Learner Permit

Woke up at 7.30am today to have breakfast with Qing and Shan. It's their last day today at Glenn as well and they would be flying back to Singapore for 2 weeks. While they're back, they've agreed to help take the mooncake mould from my parents so that I could make mooncake during the mid-autumn festival. Went back to sleep thereafter and woke up at noon to head for VicRoads over at University Hill, about 10 minutes away from university.

I got lost. Couldn't find VicRoads. I thought it was inside the university hill mall but it wasn't. Luckily I wasn't late. Sat for the online test and I was so happy and surprised when the customer service officer told me that I had scored a score of 97% for the online test! I took a photograph for the permit card and when I posed, she commented that I had such a big smile. I replied, yes, as all my photos looks similar - with my signature big smile exposing my slightly yellow teeth and cheeks. I had earned my Learner Permit, which was valid till 25th of June, 2018. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the expiry date. Who would actually take 10 years just to get from their L's to P's? Well, perhaps some people would. Now, I need not carry my passport around when I need to get a couple of drinks or when I go pubbing or clubbing.

Met up with Melvin thereafter and we went over to Epping Plaza and Westfield. Walked around and he drove me to Mount Cooper. That's inside Bundoora Park and he was surprised that I've never been there before even though it's just a short walk away from the university. The summit's 137 meters above the sea level. And when we arrived at the summit, there was already a car parked there with a couple inside making out. They were making out so passionately that they didn't even notice that we were there. We left less than 5 minutes after as the sun was not in our favour.

Went over to Marcus's house thereafter as he wanted someone to accompany him as he was bored. We went for dinner and I ate fried rice, two nights in a row. Wasn't too bad. At least better than the one I ate last night. Went over to his house and had a short nap thereafter.

I'm just feeling very emo and depressed tonight. It's caused by many factors, which has been building up inside me. I really feel like going back to Singapore. Doubt anyone would ever understand how I feel and such. Drank 5 big gulps of 40% Vodka directly from the bottle and my throat started burning. Until now, it has the buring sensation. Made a mixture of ribena with pepsi and 3 shots of vodka, but couldn't drink after 1 monthful as my throat hurts.

Stayed online to surf the web and checked for airfares back to Singapore. It would cost me about A$1400 if I would to fly home on the 8th and back on the 16th and about A$1000 if I were to fly home on the 12th and back on the 19th.

Just stoned around and such. The tension and pressure's really building up.

Goodnight.
