plank not so scary leh.

 

e-brake scary sia.

angel22: for plank, all you need is to use your thigh and grip hard on the tank. Straighten your hand and look high + far. Throttle abit to go up. When you front wheels went up the plank, close the throttle and clutch in. Let your bike roll up and concentrate on balancing and going slow. If you find your bike is moving up to quickly, use your rear brake and slightly tap it.

 

For me, i always let it roll up and i looked far. Dont ever look down or look at the pathway ahead of me once i'm on the plank. Then started talking to myself. Count from one thousand to 13 thousand.

plank is scary if u allow ur bike to be in "free-wheel" mode.

that is like mostly clutch in or throttle a bit to get some speed.

 

it will be easy if u half clutch all the way. the engagement in the gears will make it more stable and u will feel more safe. u dun really need to balance a lot in this way.

well that works for me.

 

i had trouble at first coz i'm mostly into "free-wheel", but once i get the hang of the half clutch thing, plank is no kick.

 

anyway i wish if only 2.5 is as easy as plank....lol!

for me its quite different. i straighten my body and keep my hands relaxed to do minor adjustments.

2.5 wasnt so bad . I get so nervous going up the plank, if i get the starting right, i dont feel so nervous already.

 

Hey , seriously, do u want the set of revision notes i got from FTC with the pocket notes? I have loads of questions and answers inside. Only problem is i dont know if they teach u the same method of tackling the questions in SAA. If you're interested, i could give it to u. PM me ok if you want it?

Thanks for the advice. Will remember it when i go the next RC. I always look at the end of the plank then the instructor always yell at me coz he asked me to look forward not look down. I am not so worried about the timing, if get 4 pts so be it. I just wanna pass it properly and get a nice 2A bike after exams !!

[xb84]

bah. cancelled cl2 tp again. if not waste 1 day on revision and 1 day on tp. now 2 days more to study.

[angel22]

Haha ! Dont keep on cancelling the TP lah... A few hours wont make much difference to the revisions also!

[Shawn--]

Anyone from CPA house?

 

Did anyone of you find the customer service officer at the counter very rude?

 

Instead of getting served there, i find myself entering a loanshark's office.

Hahah i ever tried calling to enquire about the classes and the person who answered my call was super rude also.. wonder if its the same person.

 

You going to register revision class?

[Zandon]

SAA u mean?

i'm from there.

 

and yes i do agree the customer service quality varies from time to time.

 

sometimes i wanna hand in my tutorials for marking, they like dunno wad to do with it, then gimme blur look. best thing is, me and my friend submit tutorials together at the counter, he got back his scripts and i didnt.

i'm pissed already!!!

 

FTC got such problems?

[Shawn--]

I'm sick of all the guys CSO especially the plump guy who wear spec sitting at the counter. He's extremely rude and shown me his ah beng style.

 

I dont know whats wrong of me inquiry information. He seems so unwillingly to share the information with me and even direct me to surf SAA website to know more.

 

1 last time i'm going to write in to complain. Just imagine how many times i have to enter that office from CAT till ACCA. I dont think i can endure his ignorance for such a long period.

 

Misterbean is right... Should have listen to him.

Haha you at least have the option of handing in tutorials for marking... we got no chance to even hand it in. Mostly all questions are gone thru in class then if you got tutorial wanna mark, u email the lecturer directly. Some are very fast, others mark like tortoise...!!

 

Maybe they accidentally threw away your tutorials , Zandon. Hahaha Joking.

 

But the customer service at FTC is very . No complains.

 

The stupid thing is they wanna implement some tap card system so no one can crash the lectures. They say must make the pass to go in. By the time i finish work and reach there, its almost 6.40pm and lecture starts at 6.45pm. How to make you tell me? Alamak!! They want me to go down specially one day to make the pass. Stupid. Not as if i never pay money for the lectures.....

[Shawn--]

I notice alot of china student using the digital dictionary. Anyone here using it too? Is it good? How much it cost for 1 which can reads and pronounce?

Yeah lah , last Tues I wanted to walk up from 2nd floor, the lady stopped me asking me to go queue up and make card. I looked at the queue and it was so long and I would be late for lecture if I go make the card. Makes no sense to me to be late for lecture just to make card.

 

I forgot to submit the photo the other time when the lecturer asked so me and my friend are kinda stuck without cards. When they really wanna implement then i go queue. Now I cant be bothered yet.

 

Offtopic, my re test on Tues morning!!!
