took my driving test today.. well, i passed!! NOT!! haha.. had 30 demerit points and 2 immediate failures.. hm.. well, the demerit points started when i was doing the vertical parking.. i used the same method my instructor told me but i just couldn't get in.. i don't know why..
from then on, eveything seems to fall apart.. i forgot to engage first gear on slope but luckily it didn't roll back that much.. then out on the road i almost hit a taxi while changing lane, stopped too near a van and a lot of stuffs weren't properly done.. oh ya, i picked one of the hardest test routes.. route no.6.. teck whye road!! oh man.. that place's a terror with so many cars.. my aunt failed the first time as she got that route via balloting too.. but i have no reason to blame on the test route.. if i was good, no matter how hard the test route was, i would've made it..
actually i was kinda grateful that i got such a friendly tester.. i mean he's just like any nice grandpa you'll see around.. he helped me along the way.. i mean like he told me to do this and that and he was kinda worried for me like that.. nevertheless, he still told me all the mistakes that i've done in a nice way after that.. really appreciated that because i saw some people's testers reprimanded them as they made their way into the room.. i mean the person feels bad enough already and do you have to rub it in? that tester's name is called chong!! it was kinda a familair name, isn't it?? it's one of my rugby pals' name.. so i was laughing at the name when i saw that tester's name..
well, i wasn't that sad when i knew i failed.. maybe i saw it coming.. i knew i wasn't up to the mark as yet but i still tried.. looks like i'm gonna try getting that pesky license again.. i'm just glad it's over.. i don't care about the result.. what's important most is the process.. now i can stop worrying about it for the time being and go for acupuncture on my sore foot and start looking for a job now.. now i know the real meaning of the greatest enemy is thy self.. i guess i gotta cross that self-barrier before i can get the things right.. by the way, rugby seems easier to play than driving afterall!! =p
now there's another problem arising.. the next nearest test date is in july.. remember i'm enlisting to tekong chalet on july 7th? there's only slots left for 8th, 10th and 11 july.. dam.. and now i know the real meaning of everything happens for a reason.. my registration with the driving centre expires on the 7th july.. and it's the same date as the enlistment date.. that means for sure, i'm gonna renew it again!! arghz.. i'll see about that soon..
though i didn't make it but i gotta thank all the people for their encouragement and support.. thanks to my mom and dad for their continuos support, encouragement, their prayings for me.. everyone who wished me luck - jm, ym, gab, sharon, yh, kiap and my uncle eric who passed it a month ago when his license was suspended due to drink driving.. lolx.. not forgetting dt who talked to me about it.. haha.. thanks to everyone for everything if i've forgotten you.. don't worry so much about me.. i'm alright.. don't sound as if i'm so depressed that i'm gonna die.. but i am just a bit disppointed.. just like that day we lost to combined ITE during the rugby competition and our title hopes were kinda dashed.. but in the end still get second place.. haha.. so i guess, it's not the end but the beginning..
