[at least i'm good at something]

oh yes. the thing i've been after for 6 months.

it was the fastest half an hour in my entire life.

so i came for my warm up right. i was the earliest. so i got registered and everything. then more and more people started coming in. (well. actually there were only 7 but ya.) so i sat there. reading the top 10 mistakes and top 5 immediate failures. how to calm myself down during my test. i was making lotsa weird noises and shuffling my feet lots. so yeah. as time went by. the instructors called out the names. and guess what. I WAS THE LAST.

so after being the EARLIEST. and going off the LATEST. i was in the car. for a warm up. to get the feel of the car. so yeah. was already damn kancheong la.went round the circuit. and at the place for directional change. i was trying to look out the window. and *TOK*. guess what? i was so anxious i landed my face too close to the window. *WAHAHAHAHA* OMG! damn embarrassing la. (well. at least i don't have photos of me wit unsightly patches on my clothes at the underarm region. sarah. babe. see friendster.

oh well. MOVING ON to other matters. *LOL* after one round out on the roads. we drove back to the centre. and i had to wait in this PRESSURE COOKER of a room for the testers to come. so when they finally arrived. had to draw lots to see who goes first. so some girl in front drew first. got some guy's name and the cycle went on. everytime a ballot was drawn i was anticipating my name. i didn't hear it. it happened like. 6 times? and NO! I STILL DID NOT HEAR IT. and that's when i realised. I WAS LAST. AGAIN!

can you imagine the pressure? omg.

ok. then we had to WAIT again. and then bring our tester's to the car. ok did that. and then went round the circuit. NOTE: for those who are going to book for their TP test at UBI. it's quite good to have it at 11.45 on a saturday. i'm serious. the circuit was almost empty. fantastic. don't have to irritate the tester by waiting in queues. had small talk wit the tester about how empty it was. *haha*

first thing i did was. SLOPE! omg. i didn't roll backwards. YAY! i figured out a way to pull the handbrake all the way up. even tho i've got the strength of a squirrel. =) ok. so did that. puuuurrfectly. so next was. hmm. i can't remember. directional change. was it? think so. yeah. did that rather sceptically. thot that my front wheels were gonna hit the curb. oh man. damn stressed out la. i was like. please don't touch. please don't touch. please don't touch.

ok. then reversed. perfect. =) so we left for PARALLEL PARKING. WAH!!!! at first i thot i positioned myself to far away. but luckily. perfect again. =) (*hahaha* i'm soooooo lapping all this up la.) oh ya! and when i was gonna move off. i forgot to release my handbrake. *HAHAHA* omg. he didn't penalise me for that. good huh. (Mr Ong Chin Ho. i love you man! *lol*)

after that was vertical. hoho. had to do correction. (which is just turning the steering wheel. i'm not that lousy ok? *hehe*) but the end product was lovely. then headed for the S course. in my mind i kept saying - OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!! i was especially worried at the end. thot i was gonna mount the curb. *sigh* didn't!!! phew!

crank course. and then it was out onto the roads.

i got 12 points. 2 for incorrect - i.e. LATE braking. -_- 2 points for failing to signal in good time? really? hmmmm. and another 8 for OMG! failing to take precaution against road users/pedestrian. like the guy was cleaning the inside of his van for god's sake. BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. aiyo. i was supposed to cross over to the oncoming lane. isn't that so wrong too? *HAHA* oh well. if not i could have gotten like 4 points. =)

oh ya. after passing the guy cleaning the van. the tester was like. why didn't you go to the other lane. aiyo. dangerous you know. aiyo. cannot like that. and i was like. SHIT! DIE! FAIL!

then drove back to the centre. was quite smooth from then on. but i was like. die la. gone. coz of a man cleaning his van. the INSIDE of his van somemore. -_-

got out of the car and had to go to this room. and had to sit facing him. like some interview. my fate was still unknown at that point of time. damn stressed out la. then he started counting the checklist.

first page - 0

second page - 8 (and i was like. OH NO!!!)

third page - 4 (omg. i was like hoping there wasn't a forth page. hoho. there was.)

forth page - total: 12 PASSED! and he said. and i quote "ok la. pass you la." unquote.

wah. like he could have chosen to fail me. *HAHA* oh but i'm glad he didn't. i was like. smiling from ear to ear la. and i said "THANK YOU SIR!!!" and he was like. "yaya". =)

sarah and nelson came to CDC to find me. so shweet uh. thanks you guys!!!

reached home at about 2+ ah. damn tired la. driving alone is so lonely. i rolled down the windows and blasted the stereo. oh! and i got lost. can u imagine. *HAHA* but managed to find my way. yupyup.

and one last thing. when i got home and parked the car. i saw this police car patrolling my neighbourhood. didn't think much of it. then they slowed down and looked at me. then they turned into my carpark and stopped near my car. they didn't come out. so i was like. "yes? can i help you?" then they drove off. so weird man police these days. when i didn't have a license and was driving around my estate never patrol. when i finally get my license and they're like wanting to stop me. like gimme a break la!!! -_-

wow. this is my longest entry so far. =) so cool. *LOL* i'm so lame.
