hope this doesn't upset abi...but i PASSED my driving test!!
whohoo!! PASSED the test 1st time lah.. so exciting.. been driving my dad's car on short trips.. cuz his honda accord is like so much bigger than the honda civics i use at the driving centre... den alot more difficult to manouvere.. but i'll manage with more practice :)
anyway i took the 9:15am test on friday.. which i really must say is a better timing than the 8plus slot abi took.. cuz there's enough cars to convince the tester that u can handle traffic.. but not too much traffic because there's no rush hour traffic with those a*hole drivers that just can't seem to see that we have 2 'L' plates and that we're on test... so abi, i'm sure ur skills are ok.. just that the tester was crap and the road conditions weren't gd like u said lah..
think huiyian must be like so relieved now..haha. cuz she booked the 9:15am slot too.. jiayou.. just be more daring on the road to handle the treacherous traffic but do the circuit stuff just like how u always do during lessons la.. shd be ok..
anyway, abt my driving test.. i must say i got a pretty ok tester.. cuz i was the last one left in the waiting room and the last to move out.. so i had to wait alot to do the circuit stuff.. and also i was like so nervous when i first moved off that my left leg was shaking when i clutched-out.. seriously shaking lor.. but after that i just imagined that the tester was a normal instructor lor.. den miraculously i was ok le.. despite all that the tester passed me.. phew..
the funniest thing was the tester didn't let me do the circuit slope and emergency brake and we went out on the road.. den after that he also cut short the test route den i ended up being like the 3rd car to come back out of the 8 cars who were having test that day.. and i was e last to go out!!
so i was act quite scared when i got out of the car and i tot i failed lor.. but aft that when we go into the waiting room the instructor just told me that i must not be hesitant during turning at junctions and the next thing he said was do i have a photo with me... and so.. i passed with 14 pts!!!
oh yah abi, wanna share a viewpt.. i was thinking that they probably fail pple if the quota for passing is reached... cuz e session i took there were 8 pple.. den 4 passed and 4 failed... where got so just nice one.. i mean, if u think abt it, the traffic police also have to regulate the number of new drivers so as to mayb prevent accidents due to inexperience (?).. and oso to regulate the no. of cars on the road.. pple who passed can drive (duh..) and means there's the chance they'll buy cars.. so yeah.. i'm pretty sure u can pass the next time abi.. just dun choose test timings with rush hour traffic.. mayb u can take the saturday morning slot.. got a instructor tell me not so many cars and more smooth la..
ok.. hope i haven't sound like i'm boasting or anything.. just tot i'll share abt my experience like abi did.. so huiyian and anqi can know more (?) jiayou anqi with ur driving lessons too.. think u shd be gonna finish and book test le?
boo hoo abt the bbq pit booking at anqi's place.. huiyian, i think i'm running out of ideas le.. nobody else is coming up with stuff and the stuff we come up with we feel is boring.. haha.. what a headache..
oh, for those who dunno.. anqi can't get a pit at her place on the saturday we arranged to go out.. dunno wat new arrangements is huiyian making thou... hopefully things will go ok..
btw, shileng never talk here a long time le.. he's still in taiwan is it? haha..
drive safely people.. take care.. haha.. hope to see ya all soon..
