My driving instructor told me last monday...
" The last time u drove was in July 2006 and ur test is on this thurs. U jus book for 2 practice lessons and u expect to pass?"
I was like " Ya"... i was hoping but not expecting coz i know my chances of passing are real slim esp i was damn rusty in driving. I forgot how to do my parking, where the turning points are, 1st gear half clutch, Crank course..... full of mistakes for the practice session. I was thinking most prob gonna fail this time round...
And I did my last practice jus the day before my driving test. Everything seems okie but who knows i will screw up my test on the very day. Fine...
25 January 2007
I woke up in the morning and got myself prepared to get to the driving centre. I booked the 2nd slot which was like 8:25 hrs for the warm up session and 09:15hrs for the TP test. I left my house at 08:00hrs and get a little yucky... coz... i waited until 08:10hrs .... the bus was still not here yet. I only left with 15 mins to get there. It would be definitely fine for other time of the day as u know traffic in the morning is kinda unpredictable. U will never know if it's gonna be congested and most imptly, everyone are rushing to work. NO TAXIS available!!!!
I was thinking of calling my brother. The though that he will "Yak" at me....it jus shiver down my spines. Finally, the bus came and i managed to reach there jus on the dot. Reported at the counter for my warming up with one of the instructor. Still some minor mistakes in the warming up session whereby blind spot... speed control... turning points and PARKING. Out of a sudden i forgot which direction to turn and i turn the steering wheel to the opposite direction that totally freak the instructor out. Well, i'm sorry. I'm jus suffering from short term memory.
The instructor led me to the waiting room and reminded me on my mistakes as well as the common mistakes. He commented i should drive a little faster. I "engraved" that piece of advice in my heart. I was always told during my practice that i drove too fast. Hence, i decided to drive slow. And when i slow down my speed, they asked me to drive faster. (-_-")
Drawing lots for the test route.... i got a route that is not too difficult. Considering the fact that there was not many cars on the road at that time... no major mistakes made in the circuit... The tester criticised me until i'm not fit to be a driver on the road.
And there he goes.... He passed me with 14 demerit points.
I got my driving licence. It's a long long queue jus to apply for my licence. I waited more than an hour in the queue. Not as in many pple have passed their driving test, those pple who pass their basic theory test were queueing up for the application of PDL. U can expect it jus simply took me how long esp when there was an indian lady, she had some enquiries on her licence in India. Well, she could have called and ask instead of coming down to jam up the whole queue. Everyone was like " argh" and when she intended to walk away, it jus gave me the feeling of... " finally finished". Guess what... she turned to the counter AGAIN and ask questions. 3 times.... i counted... she did that for 3 times... How irritating!
Mm.... Yet to get my photo-licence... as it takes 2 to 4 weeks to send over. Hence, my temp licence is jus a slip of paper. *Grinz*
I bought my P-plate and asked my dad to accompany for a spin in my black humble swift. To be honest, I'm a little scare.... especially slope.... and parking without poles. Let me get the hang of it and i shall drive my frenz around.
Zoom Zoom.... wait for me hur...!!!!
