::Well, time to face it: THAT disastrous practical lesson

Should stop going cycling whenever I get bored.
Yesterday, I went cycling down Yio Chu Kang road cause I was in a bad mood. Today, I had to go cycling again cause I needed to book my bike practical lesson and I didn't buy bus concession for this month.
Now my lower half feels like it has been beaten half to death with a plank.
(That damn road is full of hills, ok? And SATan is unfit, ok?)
And of course, I was too tired to go and run.
:x

Ok anyway, *groan* that fateful practical lesson.
Well, it's already a part of my history, so nothing to be ashamed about.
(I just needed some time to make myself feel better)
It was my first practical lesson 4 part II.
I was scared to death cause I'm shit at remembering routes, like please, I can get lost while cycling around Yio Chu Kang.
(What is this place? Why is it so eerie? Oh shit, I'm lost. And at 9-something pm at night too.... Am I going to be stuck in this eerie place forever? HELP!!!!!)
First, they let us go and do our own warm up. And my bike welcomed me by being a temperamental piece of shit (but of course, I was too nervous to realise that).
So I wandered around in a panic until I had to change lane to the right and I realised my bike had no right mirror (ie. someone had crashed it earlier, that's probably why it was acting up).
So I changed my bike.
Then, I couldn't remember the lesson route.
Mercifully, an instructor showed me around the route after I asked.
But.....
I was so nervous I crashed wonderfully on get this: every one of the courses.
Except the slope cause once you know the technique, you won't crash on slope.
I think the instructor was a bit like 'sigh, why is this person so 'kayu' (stupid).
What's more, it was in front of all the lower lesson people.
I felt utterly terrible.

Second time round, it was better.
I overshot the emergency brake and fell off the narrow plank.
And missed out a few blind spots here and there.
That was all.
(Hey, that is pretty good compared to the *sigh* first one, ok?)

I didn't pass, like duh.
I was kind of relieved though, imagine if I had passed.
I would probably be a total nervous wreck the next time round.
When one is not ready, one is not ready.
(I wonder how I am going to do my TP test though.... hmm.... better don't think about that yet).

Hmm.... I am blogging a little too frequently.
Maybe I really have nothing to do.
Bored -> Cycle / run -> Too tired to exercise -> Blog -> Finished blogging? -> Blog again
I can't wait to pass practical 4 be able to book circuit revision!! Then I can go for circuit revision all the time! Then I'll practically be living at SSDC!!
Heheheh.
I am like, that bored.
