h20 no you did not!!!!

okok..how to start..Well, today is my driving test!!!..Gosh hard to express how i felt. I went to Sepakat driving institute at around 7.50 and i got my number-D4 02. That was gonna be my number for today, whether its gonna be my lucky number ...i just don't know.


i was just nervous. Like a cat on hot bricks, anxious of what is gonna happen later.


Well, i though that there was nothing much for me to worry, aftell all so many people whom i know have passed before me..calvin, japheth, my sis, zhi cong+many others.....its gonna be simple woudn't it be. And + if i passed, i can drive whenever i like! Won't it be fun? i was always wishing that i could be like my sis or kok wan when i can drive whenever i like....if i wan to go yumcha..anytime...nows gonna be my golden opportunity and i sure don't want to ruin it!


while i was sitting on a bench waiting for everyting to get started, i heard the girls(they are too taking the test) talking and chatting so much..say scard this scard that. Believe it or not, hearing them gossip may be irritating for some but it seems calming for me...kind feel that I am not the only one alone! them people came filling the place and all i could just do is to wait, wait patiently foe the tiem to strike...and then, my instructor Mr Beh appeared! Clad in a dark green polo shirt he walked towards me and greeted me..i was unsure wether he was greeting me or the
others cause i am not his only student..but all that he told me was." 做好點來!!!! " (in Cantonese) Those words were calming and since i didn't fair too well in my pre test, this was my time to shine!


DING!!!!!DING!!!! Finally The JPP people arrived. In smart and neat uniforms they seem to march back into the office...the pressure in on DUDE...after listening to a brief talk...the driving began!...i was lucky to have spot Xue Ming and Ng Kah Boon at the institute..I am not ALONE...Hooray!(calvin had LZC and tham to acompany him and so do I!). Gosh i was nervous..i was the 2nd to drive..went to toilet about twice..whats up with me..i have to calm down..i need somebody to slap me on my face and make me awake(kiddin)..the GAME is finally starting.


02!!!!!!! 02!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was what i heard...thats me right???.yaya...haha...silly me..marched my way to the car that holds my destiny! baby, here i go...Off i go to the slope...and waited for the JPP guy..waited and waited..(being 2nd is mind breaking!!!! ) but i have to put it all together and bring the house DOWN..!!!


and OFFFFFFFF i go...ba ba ba ba ba ba ba...1, 2, 3...i finally gao dim the slope!!!!..next 3 point turn and parking...off i go...again..ba ba ba ba ba...and i waited at lorong 1 for further instructions given to me before i could continue...so i waited.. while i was waiting i noticed that a lot of my peers are looking at me..staring wide-eyed....at me...gosh...had to pull it off and i thought of a way of calming myself down(I'm yours-jason Mraz did the job)..

Finally it was my turn..did the 3 point turn..siap ..next was my parking..and while i was reversing..and GOSH>>OMG i sei foh...tried restarting..again sei foh.OMG sei lor..i fail jor ar...Game over ar..OMG

I thought this was the end..but they called me to finish it..so siapkan itu and went to the officer...and Praise The Lord..I passed??? wow a miracle really happened...gosh..this must be my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now the last part..go gai gai ....waited...haiz...so happy+nervous at the same time(really a roller coaster ride) . then my "charriot" came. Bright and shiny...this is make or break time...the officer asked me to get into the car and asked me to wait....so as i wait, i started looking for some water to quench my thirst...drank some water..and then..the office appeared..


" Mengapa kamu minum air saya??" GOD!!!!!! what did i do???????? .i imediately apologized.i mistaken is bottle of water as mine....silly me..OMG..went down to get him another bottle of water..so MALU...H20...no you didn't!!!!!..

okok..calm down and continue with my test..while i was waiting, i tried remembering the steps i had to make....okok..and DROVE..gai gai..i remembered my friends told me to not drive to slow..so kept around 40-55km/hr the whole journey..okokok...i just wished my changing gear could go more smoothly..but everything seems fine..and i saw BUFFALOS!!!!!....

End of gai gai and I passed! Thank the Lord lor..and my friends for supporting me all the way!...driving was ok but ....gotta be more calm..i can be a bundle of nerves easily...so this is the END..no more SEPAKAT..well until i get my P license ready..but..bye bye...

ROADS of Ipoh..Here i COME!!!!! I have officially departed!!!!!!!

Gotta Drive to Pass!

tomorrow is going to be my driving test. Fingers crossed. Please let it run smoothly..i really don't want to be the one hu failed the test. Gosh..embarrassing lar..so what i got to do know is to calm down and stay focus.

I still can't believe that i am really gonna go for my driving test tomorrow...i can't imagine what would happen if i screw it!..haiz..make it POSITIVE..thanked my instructor Mr Beh in the end....i really hope that it would be the last time (tomorrow) i do back to my driving school(meaning i passed!!!) i really hope the parking and the slope thing+ everything goes absolutely fine!

Went to seek some advice from LZC and Calvin(thanks !!!)....after all, they went for test last week and they have been in my shoes before! Hope their advice helps me to like prepare myself. Now...i just hope to calm myself and fair well. i don't vye to become the BEST but i just wanna pass...for God's sake..i wish i can do well...

Since this week is EXAM week for the kids...i just have to picture myself as a student taking another test. Trust me, i rather take a SEJARAH paper rather than this driving test..hehe..

Anyway, today is Leow's bday! so HAPPY SWEET 18!!!!!!!!!!!!

gotta trust myself, if DUmbo can fly, i can DRIVE too!

Believe!!!!!

i guess i should not have given up so easily. After all the Chinese saying goes this way " Failure is the mother of all successes!". No pain, no gain. There is no free lunch in this world. This is what i learnt from TVB dramas.

I agree. How could i let this little setback break my desire to drive. there is no point giving up that easily! Yes, i was defeated but now i have reigned. I am going to prove them all wrong! i can drive! and i can do that well too!!!! All i can do now is to believe in myself.

After all, Pets had to battle her way through one after another obstacle during her participation in One Million Star! I'm just gonna channel this spirit into me! I just have to calm myself, lose the nerves and start believing in myself!!!!!.

STAY PINK POSITIVE!!!

PISSED!!

today's driving lesson went so well at first. No 'sei fohs'. Everything went well as planned for the first time! and then, it was time for my pre-test.

I dun really understand why they gave me a different car to drive. It was newer car and the engine was much stronger. It was something that i did not expect and did not know if i could control. After a few tries i kinda managed to calm down my nerves and got on track. However, things did not seem to end well when i had to park my car.

It was like i was kinda brainwashed but thanks to all the people at the driving institute including all the other instructors(about 2 of them like gave me tips and motivated me somehow...thankS!!! for now), i managed to finally do the parking right in the end. It was only after a few attempts till i managed to do that. i did not understand why...i never hit a pole ever before until today during my pre-test!!!! was it the nerves? was it the different car i was using? maybe that contributed to my downfall. Everything just didn't didn't went well as i hoped it would. Never mind, i stil managed to pass my pre-test in the end!!!(the examiner passed me in the end)

Just when i thought that everything was ok, HE appeared!!! Everyone(_and i do mean really everyone there!!!_) was there to help me except from HIM. HE did not know anything about my driving skills and there he was to FAIL me and put me on for more lessons. At that moment, i almost felt hatred was overtaking me! i could not believe it! Who was he to give me extra lessons when he did not know anything that happened while i was driving!

I was angry(first time in a very very long time...)...despised by what he HE had done to me. I felt like it was he made me a fool out of myself. i felt BETRAYED!....thinking again...why waste my energy on somebody like that...thats pointless...i just felt torn apart!...speechless.

i knew i was not like very very ready at that moment and i should not put the blame on the new car or my nerves.....maybe i just need to calm myself or take an extra lesson..but for HIM to add 3 extra lessons for me...HE HAS NO RIGHT IN THE WORLD TO DO SO! i told him berfore that if i was not confident, i would tell him personally and add extra lessons by myself and so, for HIM to do something without even consulting my opinion...it was just wicked bad!....

i still feel torn apart because everyone wanted to help me except HIM...call em childish or silly ..whatever....really tak ada eyes to lihat HIM at this moment.i feel defeated! Well, thanks to HIM because i no longer have the will to drive!

PISSED OFF!!!

Life goes on..right? So went for my 2nd,3rd and 4th driving lessons. haha...for the 2nd driving lesson, it actually rained...so got to experience driving in the rain!!!..then on the 3rd lesson i finally went gai gai out in the Real roads!!! And today(4th lesson), i again got to experience driving on the real road. Well, what i can sum up is that driving needs lots of patience and also you must be extremely alert and careful at the same time!!!!....Today i kinda gave myself a target. I cannot sei foh so many times jor...so i targeted 0 times.

unfortunately...failed to do so..so changed my target..instead i targeted to sei foh 5 times(the most for today)..and i met to my expectations. Hooray!!! Great....Today was kinda a weird day as when i drove, i saw a dead dog on B route...really pity the dog. Its' carcass was left on one side of the road and for goodness sake, its skin was like in such a poor condition. (so kesian)..gosh! I really sympathise the dog......treasure life as we live only ONCE!!!...i kinda looked at it the very last time as i drived pass it.....(love you Waggie!!!!)

AND!!!!..i saw goats and cows on the way..really bizarre la....haha...by the wat did i mention today that 2 L-licenced car overtook me???...really la..i was driving at 40 km/hr..and using gear no. 4 odi and stilll they overtook me....they must have been speeding!!!..Where is there Justice!!!! How come they can speed!!!!...haiz..

Earlier smsed with Calvin and Japheth and shared with them my driving experience..haha...very funny to hear their 'encounters'!!! Good luck ar!!!..

The night before and had tuition...the girl did GREAT but the boy..haiz...the boy...gave spelling..and he got 3/16....and he told me he studied...i believed him...he told me studied by just looking through without practicing by writing down...kinda frustrated with him!!!!..Hei...!!!!!!...that was what i wanted to say....haiz...kids...please lar...listen and do properly lar..ok? Your exam coming already and yet...

Those went quite smoothly..so we went driving lor...drive...drive..ok..change gear must step the clutch then adjust the gear den only step on the oil pedal.(must be gentle...haiz..) And at the same time when you step the oil pedal must not step on the clutch....should be something like that la....i did not know leh when step oil must be so gentle...i always step den got BOOM BOOM sound..haiz...ok lor

later we went gai gai..made some turns..great..mastered it then he took me to the slope. Slope i heard from my friends not that easy wor...that loh kee min duno fail jor how many times...ok..my turn...and boleh lah...i did it.

okok...den tried a few times...ok..berjaya..den leh he ar...went up the slope ..this time different jor...need to put the head out of the window and adjust till you reach the yellow line..sei yeh lar..got so many yellow line..which yellow line you are talking about, + i duno wheter its the same like the previous one..and i panicked..forgot everything and here i started to 'sei foh'....haiz

duno how ar...thats the end of my 3 hours of driving experience...sei mou..(apparently, calvin nga also experienced the same problem=same same la..lega hati)
