The driving test- TP (Traffic Police).
It was as scary as ever! I couldn't sleep well the day before. & it's probably the worst night I've experienced. It felt worst than taking 'O' levels?
It's like all came down to your skill, luck and fate.
Shila accompanied me and Aina would come later. If you were to ask Shila how was I doing on the way to BBDC, she'll probably said I was at my worst?
I definitely felt better after I when for the practice which was at 8.15 AM.
The instructor said my driving was ok. Ok is never good enough! It should be like my driving is excellent! Then, I went to the waiting room @ Level 2. Wait there with about 4 other people and just wait for our name to be called.
After a very looonnng wait, my name was called. The tester gave my I/C and PDL back, and we went down. I don't know what's my route number till now. Whatever the route number is, its the best!
The time where we went in and drove off seems to be so fast. I've make sure that I lock the door but one thing I forget is to release the handbrake!!! How silly! There's this alert sound coming from nowhere, which I didn't know it's because of the handbrake. That's probably what kan chiong-ness do to you. Haha!
After that things seem normal, then came the parking where I strike the kerb. I was out of words! Why!!! I've thought it was immediate failure! Obviously, I felt sad and think that we should just stop the practical. But we continued. I was a bit down, but luckily, I didn't take things lightly knowing that I've got the immediate failure. & hoping that the tester gave me chance.
Oh! Back to the circuit, there this once after my parking, apparently the tester told me to go left (kiri) but I went right (kanan). Not that it sounds the same but my mind probably not working in the proper state. I don't know, I just went right and do some corrections. Like I really know what I'm doing.
I love the test route that I've got! Whatever number it is. Then we went back to BBDC.
Aina was there when I came back and while walking pass, I told them, 'aku cium kerb' or something like that. But I don't know if they could heard it. Then, sit down back in the waiting room and just wait for my result. He came in and sit down in front of me, tell me my mistakes... & he told me I PASSED!!! Alhamdulilah! Like YAY!!! Phew!
I told the ladies about my result, and my silly mistakes... I take my passport photo. Then, went to watch the graduation video. Then, proceed to apply for new license. Wuuhuu!!!
Then, we went to Bugis- ate Pastamania, walk around, laugh around... Went somerset......
Okayla, I'm not going to elaborate any further about what we did after that.
Then off to Jurong Point and Malaysia with the family. With not enough sleep, I'm really tired.
Yours sincerely,
The qualified AUTO-driver which family has a manual car (Haha!)
