cookies today :)

baked batches after batches of chocolate cookies, also tasted tons of them! realised it's kinda an like an experiment baking cookies, trying not to make them get burnt... after 3h of baking, i raced off to Amore bugis for my cardio latino class... it's damn hilarious la cos i had to shake my hips and butt for an hour... there're few hand movements jus sway to the beat hahah... good for trainings abs la... after that i did my crazy treadmill workout, going up to 14km/h hahah felt really really good after tat... and did some gym exercises hahah...

but wat i found weird is tat though i can see tat my arms and calves are getting more muscular, my abdominal muscles are getting toned at a much slower rate! sianz... hahah i shall persevere anyway...

I simply wish tat 3 aug can quickly come and go, be it a pass or a fail... driving now jus plagues me like a sickening cold, never going to go away till my test is over... and did i mention how much i loathe my instructor? he jus keep criticizing my driving till i simply have zero confidence in driving... how to do well liddat? then when i did the right stuff he dun acknowledge lo... sianz... sometimes i think i'm subconsciously doing something wrong to check with him if wat i was doing had been rite all along... i wish i could change my instructor!!! Still wanna pass my test the first time one!!! wish me luck...
