[6/8/2023 2:17 pm] Jared: School term will have started by the 18th — I’ll only be free weekends during term 😓
[7/8/2023 5:17 am] SGDrivingInstructors: weekends peak hrs, call uncle ng to reschedule
[18/8/2023 1:43 pm] Jared: Hiya, checked with Uncle Ng, and he only speaks Chinese
[18/8/2023 1:43 pm] Jared: No hurry (and actually discovered that Fridays are just fine for lessons), but can I get an English-speaking instructor?
[19/9/2023 5:48 am] Jared: Hi, so any update?
[22/9/2023 1:41 pm] Jared: Hi? Any update?
[26/9/2023 9:52 am] Jared: Any update mate?
[29/9/2023 12:38 pm] Jared: Hey mate if you’re not going to help arrange this, it’s only fair if you provide a refund.
[29/9/2023 12:38 pm] Jared: Been over a month already
[29/9/2023 12:39 pm] Jared: If you’re down to help arrange for an instructor, I’m willing to continue the contract. If not, please do refund. After the initial confusion over whether I wanted auto/manual lessons, I promptly topped up as asked but the instructor referred only spoke Chinese when I clearly stated I don’t speak Chinese.
