First driving experience, No Starcraft 2 until 2008
So last night I went for my first driving practical lesson. Time slots are usually fully booked, but people tend to just hoard the slots up and cancel the booking last-minute when they've something on. So yeah, I saw the free slot, booked it and immediately headed down to BBDC. I'm pretty excited about the lesson. In fact, I'm all hyped up about driving and stuff. About time I stopped procrastinating, since if anyone remembered, my last post about going to driving lessons were probably six months ago.
That was my first manual car experience, and it wasn't as easy as I thought. For me, the difficulty comes from having to get used to the stepping pressure. For first timers, it takes a bit of practice to maintain the very low pressure on the accelerator and hold it there while dealing with the clutch with the left foot. I've learned pretty fast, or so the instructor praised, as I've properly moved and stopped the car on my second try. Ran out of lesson time when I'm about to drive around the circuit, though I was sorta getting addicted.
So, a small update on my life. What am I doing now? Nothing much. This month I've pretty much been just playing WoW arena with hopes of attaining the armored netherdrake and raiding SSC when I have the chance. Also playing some misc. games that I've bought like Smackdown vs. Raw 2007, Rogue Galaxy and Spiderman 3 on the PS2 and hanging out with aug and company, playing some Drum Mania.
Out of boredom I've created quite a nice World of Warcraft wallpaper for 1024x768 res. I don't usually use wallpapers, as it makes my packed desktop look even messier. But anyway, it's featuring non other than myself, Zyphyris, on his Frostsaber gazing upon the Statue of Elune in Darnassus. I'd have to say, it sure looks as good as any official wallpaper!

Oh, and a bad news for all the Starcraft 2 waiters out there - there would be NO Starcraft 2 at least until 2008. Refer to this article for more details.
