FIRST SUMMER HOLIDAY STARTED
After tonight's driving lesson, i can finally relax a bit and enjoy my first summer holiday this year! Is the "first" one as i am going to have another one in august too! hahaha! This first holiday is because 11 and family will be here from July 14 to 23, for that reason my next driving lesson will be July 28. Then later from Aug 8 to 21 will go to the beach together with Marco and Cece.
I had 2 lessons after the theory exam already, one was yesterday 8 to 9am, lesson starts from home as teacher lives near so he has no problem to come over and start here, Marco only needs to wait me back home b4 go to work. I have refused to take exam on Aug 7 but have requested to do in Sept instead. Then another lesson tonight from 6 to 7pm.
After lesson i joined back Marco and we have dined out for our 6 years and 5 months special day. Then after dinner, we went to a supermarket parking for let me drive Marco's car. After tried abit in the parking, i just want to go home already, so Marco asked ME to DRIVE HOME....so i did. I still have some problem with that disel motor, but just better and at least i did drive home.
Now stop to think about driving and let my brain relax abit and enjoy the holiday with my dearest family. Since Feb when i started the theory lesson, seems i haven't been relax. So probably won't update blogs for 2 weeks....will see...

IDONEO!!!
I have passed the driving theory exam this morning! Finally no need to do those quiz anymore!
The exam time is 830am this morning and we need to arrive in school at 745am and went with other classmates. At first we planned to take a taxi so no need to wake up cece. However when i have my driving lesson yesterday, teacher said he can pass by our home and pick me up. So this morning i woke up at 650am and met teacher downstairs at 735am. It was raining all the morning.
Other than me, there are 2 other classmates from the same school and 1 other boy from another school go together by teacher's car. We arrived the exam center around 815am but i think we have been waiting near an hour for start the exam. After checked the document, the examiner gave you a sim card for insert to the computer. There were 30 True or False questions which all done by touch screen in the Lcd mon. I have chosen the exam in both italiano and chinese (which is exactly the same like the exercises i have been doing). We have 30 mins for the exam. Actually it took less than 5 mins for me to finish the exam, so finally i have double check for 5 times. I termined the quiz when there was still around 8 mins left.
After 30 mins gone, the examiner correct immediatly (actually should be corrected by pc)....i saw her wrote something on the back or the document we gave and one aside. She put the document in 2 different places, so i was thinking one is passed, one is failed (if make more than 4 mistakes will be failed)...i have count, there are around 20 students. After she done all and started to call the name and give back the document. The first one she gave made 8 mistakes, failed....oh...at that moment, me and my classmate was nervous as we were thinking those are the students passed instead. Lucky that the 2nd one she gave was passed....(so now i think maybe those she left aside are those absent). Since she gave back according to the surname...i need to wait till near the last one. And b4 called my name...need to wait to finish those Mr Shing.... After she called my name and said IDONEO! which means passed! Both our theory and driving teachers were there waiting for the result too, they were happy for us as all of us passed. Then teacher dropped me home and i will meet him again Thur morning 8 to 9am for another driving lesson. Yesterday he told to the seceratary saying want me to do driving exam on August 7....for me i was little shocked as seems little hurry...so will see.
Marco said the first present i have is 2-hour-free! As marco went to visit cilent with cece this morning, so i am home alone now!

BELLA GIRA
This is what my teacher said when finished my 6th driving lesson today which mean we have a nice ride
Today is the first time i drive in strada extra ubanra, is not yet highway but something similar where max speed can be 90km/h (inside the city can only drive up to 50km/h). So teacher said i can drive up to 70km/h. With the window opened, the feeling was quite good, i know i was little smiling while driving there. During the lesson, we talked about MJ, talked about where i will be going with 11's family during their stay here. We did pass really near home too.
Today have told the teacher that i will be absent for 10 days in July while 11's family will be here. He still saying after the theory exam, i may have lesson "everyday"...then can still do exam early August...but still...i think i will perfer to wait till Sept. Even now i feel i do drive not that bad, but we still haven't learnt parking yet...i am little worry the day starts to learn parking will be the day i start to cry in the lesson too (hope is not true).
After lesson 5 to 6, then did one hour exercise of theory in school, every exercise i do if make less than 4 mistakes (which means pass),i can have one stamp, with 14 stamps, can win 30 mins' driving lesson which worth 14 euro! So that means every exercise i do, i earn 1 euro. Max can win only 2 hours' lesson, now i still need to do 21 more there for complete it. Still have 2 times to go there b4 exam, hope i can finish without problem (actually can go there whenever they open, but i just hope no need to spend extra time there, as i just keep doing exercises at home with the CD bought from school). After 1 hour's exercises in school, i earned 11 stamps today. Then have one hour lesson from 7 to 8pm...totally 3 hours without stop make me tired.
We bought kebeb for dinner and after dinner i have bake some more cookies as tomorrow Iris will be here visiting us from beligium.

DRIVING LESSON 5
I just nearly don't remember how many lessons i have done already, now totally i have done 3.5 hours. Yesterday's have done one hour driving lesson b4 theory lesson. When the lesson started, teacher just told that after i pass the theory exam, we can do more lessons a week, then can do exam at the end of July or early Aug. My first response is, "you joking?" and then teacher said he don't make joke and asked me why i don't want to do....i said i feel little hurty and i haven't told him yet that i will have 10 days' holiday in July when 11's family will be here. Anyway, i just hope that i can take exam by the end of Sept, then if touchwood fail, still have one chance to take the exam b4 the learning licence expired.
Yesterday's lesson made me really nervous. When the lesson finished, teacher said, "today you are red"...yes, i felt hot and my face became red easily when is hot. I think i was too nervous in the lesson and i did feel my muscle little painful after too. I was so nervous because yesterday we were driving in the center of the city with those narrow roads and alot of bicycles nearby. Then also learnt the marcia 6 for go on the back. My problem still: i brake too much when no need to brake. And the teacher started to talk little "loud" too...ok...is not yet scold ...and i hope i no need him scold me...as i know i will.....cry...haha!

PAULFRANK!!!
I like that monkey Julius of Paulfrank, but here in brescia we don't have much paulfrank products. Even sometimes when we travel and passed by some shops which have paulfrank's stuff, most of the time i will only have a look but won't buy (same as for internet shopping).
Tonight after driving road lesson 6 to 7pm and theory lesson 7 to 8pm, we went to the mall for dinner. We were in h&m but i haven't bought much (only one bib for cece and one hello kitty beauty bag for myself). Then on our way to the restaurant, we passed by one shop and i immediately attracted by the paulfrank stuff inside! And when i check the price, i can't believe is so cheap!! Ok, i should not sure the word "cheap" but the price is very attractive too!
Here are what i have bought:
Paper file: 4 euro (i am going to keep cece's document inside)
2 note books: 2 euro each (good for cece drawing, writing)
round pencil bag: 13 euro (this can use as a beauty bag)
big rubber: 2 euro
pencil bag which can open on both side: 11 euro (this is for put my "future" dc)
i am satisfied with this crazy shopping! The sales told this stuff is newly arrived last friday, so is lucky that we were there tonight, hehee.
ok...talk back about tonight's driving lesson...actually not much to talk. I start driving from the start of the lesson, so i have drove 1 hour today. New thing tried is marcia 5. Then teacher have told must remember to change to marcia 2 when near the "stop" or anywhere which need to let other car pass first (including run about)...as he said if i am still in marcia 3 but haven't changed to 2 during the exam, i just fail already. And during my driving, my teacher met his friend (driving next to me) and teacher asked me to down the window so they were talking while we were waiting for the traffic light. Next lesson will be coming wed, same hour.

3rd DRIVING LESSON
Today's driving lesson, we have talked about the fake watch in HK, teacher also asked me the name of cece and how old he is. I have asked him if i am his first HK student (as is what dandan asked me)...so we still have some "chatting" time which is not that bad (at least less nervous). Teacher also think is too early for me to drive with Marco, is better i have more lessons first. Today still i keep driving during the lesson under teacher's instruction. We went to more far this time, even i can't recognise much the street but at least was not like the last time driving around repeating the same roads. Teacher said that i should be less "violenza" when change the marcia. Be more ready and press more deep the firzione, also don't press the frena so stronge.
Last time when talked with dd on phone, she told me that HK orchestra was having performance in Brescia last weekend, they are having a tour performance. If i knew that earlier, i also wish i could go to see and support.
tomorrow will be cece's 22 months, i am really busy on my theory exam recently and haven't much time to write something in this blog (those mammy's comments). He really growth up alot esp after the hk trip. I am pound of him for quitting the soother without problem. Is already 2 weeks he no need to use soother and he even hasn't asked for it. In the beginning i tried to avoid mention that even during the conversation between me and Marco, but later, even i was saying in front of him, he hasn't showed he want to have it. Even on Sunday, when we when to acquasplash and he saw some babies using, he hasn't told anything, so i think he really have quit successfully. I think i will have 2 or 3 brand new avent 6 to 18 months soothers at home, anyone want?
Today Olga hasn't came for cleaning...so me and cece were washing the floor together b4 his nap. I do feel my back little tired after cleaning the floor esp with cece need to help to clean together!

2nd DRIVING LESSON (on road)
Today Marco was not able to pick us up for go to the lesson, so after lunch, we just went to his office together. Since was cece's nap time when we leave home, so he just fall into sleep few mins after the car started which mean i could skip to bf him b4 his nap....then on our way home after lesson and dinner, he fall into sleep again too...when i put him in his bed, he did woke up and asking for milk, i told i went to bring the nappy fir him to change first...then b4 i back, he just sleeping back...which mean no need to feed b4 sleep at night too!! I guess he will wake up for milk around 2 to 3am...so will be like near 24 hours without feed. What a good step! Yes, i do want him to quit on his own without force. I even thought that if everytime during his nap time, i go out with him, then he can sleep in his baby trolley and can skip one time feeding....but is only a thinking as i am too lazy to go out with him walk around without purpose and i think is better he can sleep well in his bed instead of sleeping outside.
Ok, talk back the driving lesson. Today's lesson is from 630 to 7pm right b4 the theory lesson 7 to 8pm. (i have read in a hk people's blog saying she was having driving theory lesson for 3 hours! i wonder if HK people are so busy and in hurry which need to have so long hour's lesson in one time)
The teacher have drove the car to a supermarket paking which is 2 mins' from school then let me drive all the rest of the lesson. I still only need to do what the teacher tell only but is just good i have already tried marcia 1 to 4 already. And during the lesson, the teacher keep talking and asking me questions like what post Marco do in HD, what car he has...how many years i have been here...when i will have my theory exam...which language i use for the exam...when i told him HK people talk in Cantonese...then he said cantonese fried rice is good and i have told him not only fried rice but alot of other food..then he said cantonese chicken...ok....and he even told me he saw a film last week which has some shots in HK...so i think he also think i drive not bad..at least he did think i can response to his questions while driving too. Haha. My next lesson will be wed b4 theory lesson. Then next week, he asked me to have one hour lesson instead of half hours.
After theory lesson, we went for dinner then Marco asked me to drive home!! At first i also want to try as i do feel i did not bad during the lesson too. However, just arrived the first cross road out of the parking, i was under shocked already!! Marco's car is a disel one but not a "normal" one. So the motor was super easy to close if i didn't do probably. Just like when stopped in the cross road and need to restart to move, when i release the firzione little by little..then the motor just closed and need to restart and this make me really nervous..was just lucky that there was no car at the back. Then later when we arrived the "STOP" and i have the same problem again and finally i asked Marco to drive back. Marco didn't want i just under shock in this way, so he has stopped little bit b4 arrived home and let me drive home.
After he told me that is true the car he is using, the motor is little "naughty"! Anyway, i think i better have more lessons b4 drive "su bi" again, i don't want to be under shocked so often.

FIRST DRIVING LESSON
Finally i did my first driving lesson yesterday 530 to 6pm. The teacher seems not bad, at least i can understand well what he said (or i can say my italiano is not bad? haha).
Every section of the driving lesson is only 30 mins, till near the exam, can have 1-hour-lesson. Since was the first time, so the first half of the lesson was just explaining some basic things like: first thing sit on the car need to adjust the car, the mirror, which button is for which lights or window cleaning, etc. The most important things learnt yesterday was how to start the car.
I did drive delfina b4 but delfina is an automatic car and now i am learning the one need to change the marica (for some terns, i only know how to call in italiano)...so after the teacher showed me once, he did let me drive for 2 rounds...2 rounds means drive around in a square direction for 2 rounds.
So...first one is press all the firzione pandel (the first one on the left)...then turn the key for start, then change to marcia 1, left the firzione slowly and start the gas lightly. Then left the gas, press the firzione again and change to marcia 2 (which is for about 20km/h). During the turn, left the gas. When need to brake, press the firzione again and brake lightly.
Next lesson will be Monday 630pm right b4 the theory lesson. Teacher said that i can just drive during the beginning of next lesson already. Good luck.
p.s teacher's name is Giovani.

BF-ING
I have been bf-ing for near 22 months already. Some people think is amazing that can resist till 22 months...actually i think is also because i am lucky. I didn't experience the pain till cece was 15 months. I think if i experienced the pain in the beginning, maybe i have had given up too. When he was 15 months, my nipples were hurt on both side, it was really painful during the feed. At that moment, some people also think i sohuld stop and they said that i won't get well if i don't stop. However, i didn't stop....i was thinking if i stop to feed only because of the pain, i am selfish. Then after 3 months' pain, finally it get well alone! And i can tell even was painful, but that kind of painful is still ok...is like only the first 10 to 20 seconds you can feel the pain, after you will just "get used" and won't feel that painful.
However 3 months after recovered, they hurt again. This time is cece 21.5 months. Last night was really painful that after night feeding him (or better tell night sucking while woke up in mid night), i did have tear went out while sitting in his bed (yes, i jump into his baby bed for feed him during the night...just good the bed still not broken). At one moment i really want to give him back the soother...but i know is not that wise for do so...as mostly he won't accept. Also we have just helped him to quit his soother 1 week ago and is better don't let him get use to have it back (Even marco said we can quit again anytime in the future too). Thanks God that today i just feel less pain...is still hurt but at least is those after 30 seconds and you will get use's pain. I told myself that even gave birth to cece was so painful but i did overcome, now i should be strong too...as this kind of pain is "included" as a mom.
I don't have idea when i will stop bf-ing cece...the most ideal is he tell me he don't want anymore one day. So will see...i believe bf-ing is a good bonding between me and cece and just thinking that i can only do in these first few years but never can do again when he growth up, is not bad that i insist abit. I have asked 11so's experience for overcome the pain as she has bf both the babies for 2 years 11 months (seeing Anna BB is so clever, i want to learn from her too)...she told me there is no soloution other than "yan"!
Is less than 1 month b4 my theory exam day, i better get back to the exercises...and hope tomorrow's first road driving lesson will be fine. Amen.
