i've passed!


I passed my driving test peeps! with a lousy result though... haha. I was so scared for the past few days that i couldn't sit myself down to blog... i was anxious and nervous and all. I was thinking why should God allow me to pass. But i'm not keen in spending more money.

The expenses on this would be made more useful if we were to use it to repay the renovation loan we borrowed from FIL...

The waiting time was tormenting. I lost sleep on thursday night. I woke up in short intervals, then started thinking about the different test routes... Then the ones that i often do badly... The feeling was bad. My Friday was totally panicky since the morning, the insufficient sleep also altered my judgement. I was totally scared.

Then i keep getting stomach aches from the anxiety, good gracious, the last time i had this was my guitar grade 5 exams. The similarities in these 2 tests: the costly fees, I'm consistent! still money-minded... haha. But during my grade 5 exams, i had Amelia WOO to ease that.. GOSH! while i was at BBDC, i was scared and i dint call anyone during my 1 hour break b/w the warm-up to the exam. I was too scared to talk.

I keep going to the toilet... for a highly constipated person, this is like... "something is really wrong"

Although i did well for me warm-up, i was inconfident when it started to rain. The rain was the heaviest rain i had ever drove in. Visibility is less than 10m, i'm not exaggerating. The sound of the patters were deafening, that leaves my legs shaking...

I really did quite badly even though i cleared my courses in the circuits. 1 major correction at vertical parking, a slight rolling back at slope and a delay E-brake. What else do you need to fail the test?

My road was worse, no more blind spots checking because i was so scared when the vis was that bad. foreward driving behind a car that dint on head lights were not to easy. I dint on my headlights until i was told. i failed to cancel signals after turning in many ocassion too.

I did nice u-turn, drove slower in the rain. that's the only things i did right i think. haha.

When i finished my test, i was expecting a fail. But i dint. the tester said, "you can improve on your safety checks. however, you have what it takes to drive." so i asked, "so i passed?"

"yes, i'll pass you." He said with a smile.

i was thrilled! It's the worst drive i had ever driven. But i still made it. For the "kelong"-thank God for his gracious and my family who's been praying for me. For the skills, i really thank my 3 instructors that got me here... Eric, Wilson and Ah Yap.
