Finally!

I'm feeling so uneasy that I have to write something to calm my nerves. Or distract myself from thinking about it.

Been sitting here for about an hour now, because my smart ass instructor planned the lesson with a two-hour gap before the test. Ate breakfast and drank coffee in attempt to smoothe the tensed mind. Which doesn't help at all. The tingling chill in my body gets worse by the minute as the clock ticked away.

The next wave of chills were sent down my spine when I saw that tester who failed me in the previous test. Better not get him this time round. Not quite sure of my luck today. Let's hope it'll be a lenient guy plus smooth traffic and let my skills work the magic.

Fingers crossed.

Gobbled down a bottle of water and peed. Not sure if it is just me or the air conditioning got colder, but I'm shivering a little now.

Moved outside to get a breather and the much needed heat. Spotting the anxious faces walking into the centre. Funny how this day could mean so much to each of us, while it is just another mundane working day for the testers.

I wished I could do something to double my chances of passing though. Like wearing low cut or short skirts. But the testers look anything but gay. Hmm... I wonder if bribery works.

Alright, time is almost up. Moving back into ice chamber and await the final judgement.

Good luck dude. Bring home the good news.

Think I don't need to state the obvious that I wrote that during the wait for my driving test. Well, you know what? I passed it on the 2nd time with a whooping 10 points! Vast difference from the 34 points in the earlier one!



FINALLY! I don't have to face my annoying instructor anymore! I think I'm super ungrateful because I totally forgot about him after I've gotten my results. He had to go around the driving centre to find me!

But nonetheless, I owe it to him. His "guarantee" of his students passing within the first two tries indeed was true! Well, if you're keen to get his contact, do let me know! (He teaches in Bukit Gombak) But you have been forewarned that he is irritating to the core when it comes to teaching!

And he calls me by my chinese name but always get it wrong! He says Jian(3rd tone) LIANG, when my name is Jian(4th tone) LONG, even when I corrected him so many times! Annoying or not?!



I wasn't confident of passing, so naturally I didn't prepare any photo for the application of license. Between having to go back to BBDC yet AGAIN, and looking like a drug addict, I chose the latter. Hell, no one will look at my license anyway!

So yeah, I can officially drive now. Time to take a trip to down to Queenstown area soon!
