Lindy

I have decided that Lindy will really be a social event for me.

It used to be very important to me. I feel happy meeting people, be there. I always want to be in the in group.

I could go dancing on every day that has an event or a lesson. No matter how tired work has made me become.

Now, i slowed down. And realised that what i want from dance and what i can do within what i classify as in do is not the same.

I decided to pursue dance as a leisure thing. Nothing serious. No committment from performance, turning up and all.

I still like to perform, but has understand that turning up, going for lessions is just not enough. I cant do what i wanted within what i classify i want to do.

So i've let go. Just go for socials. I'm happy enough

recent thoughts

I feel that i've changed over the years. No longer the always nice girl, not as chia. The me now, i know what i want more, i show my displeasement more, i start to really look at results.

At work, i try to help, but i start to want to do things that i can accredit to my KPI.

I use to be really busy fool. Do things and that without a clear focus on the end result. I think of the end result, but not clearly enough.

Now, i target on what is the problem more to get the project up and what i need to do to get there.

Though being in a big company, i was always on my own plan. I plan and do what i want. I wasn't in such a state where my boss will lay out my path and i work towards it.

Now, with my new boss, there are stuff to work towards to, deadlines to meet.

I feel more focus. But am feeling the heat. Is it because i do not really like what i'm doing? or what?

I'm searching for an answer. Not bewildered, just thinking.

Parking.....

Oh my god, i actually mount kerb for 3 to 4 times!!! There's a lot to remember. Before i forget, let me list them down

Parallel parking
1. Adjust side mirror to be able to see kerb and back wheel
2. Have your car a distance away, centred on the lane
3. Slowly reverse your vehicle straight till you see on your left side mirror the cement line
4. Once your back wheel is on the cement line, turn your steering wheel all the way to the left.
5. Control your brake!
6. Once you see the edge of the second yellow kerb on the right mirror, turn your steering wheel to the right 2 rounds
7. Keep reversing until your right backwheel is on the parking line from the right side mirror and turn the steering wheel to the right all the way. Turn that wheel Fast!
8. Look out on both sides on the side mirror to avoid hitting the kerb
9. Once your right back wheel is almost hitting the kerb, turn your steering wheel to the left to straighten the vehicle (2 rounds).
10. Engage drive gear, control speed and turn your steering wheel to the left to straighten the car.
11. Reverse your car slightly to be in the middle of the lot
12. You should finish this within 5 mins or fail the test.

To exit
1. Move your vehicle to the front till near the front curb.
2. Engage reverse gear, turn your steering wheel to the left all the way till the front kerb in line with the lane is almost at 10 O clock position of the steering wheel
3. Engage D gear, turn the steering wheel all the way to the right and once the kerb in line with the lane is blocked by the lining of the car on the left, turn the steering wheel quickly to the left to straighten the car.

DONE

Phew....

This is what i remember of the class...
