HUIFANG PASSED DRIVING PRACTICAL TEST TODAY! :D
finally after 4 months of lessons, theories, stallings, negativities, IVE GOTTEN THE GOLDEN LICENSE YO :D and i tell you, i seriously screwed up TTM during practice session!
1. front and back tyres both brushed against the kerb when i did my first left turn at the traffic junction. teacher blamed my wearing sneakers for that (cos i usually wear slippers to drive)
2. circuit- reverse parking w/out poles: rather than turning RIGHT, i turned LEFT when i reversed and teacher was like "EHHHHH!!!!!!!!" and i was like WTF??! i dont know why i did that ANYWAY :/ first time that happened.
3. i stalled 4 times while on the road.
WAAAA SCARY BALLS I TELL YOU! c'mon man, the problems appear only at the last minute?! madness! like seriously can faint that kind. went into the waiting room for practical testees, half feeling like im gonna fade off and die in fright. but teacher also one kind of pump confidence lah, say "ok one!" LOL :D
waited till 4.25pm, i was the 4th to be called out by tester. alamak. i tell you, my tester is one kind of the unfriendly and hostile TTM please. he was like "go start your car". then he just leisurely walk behind. i see others' testers walking with them one lo ): meh poot.
started car, went into circuit, and problems start to come in.
1. nervousness kicked in, hand was shivering slightly ):
2. circuit- uphill: accelerate, clutch down, brake down, handbrake up, accelerator down to 2.5rpm, DID NOT FIND BITING POINT, release handbrake, CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS. WALAO SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF ME SERIOUSLY! if i hadnt zam brake on time, id have gotten an immediate failure. cos roll back >1m= immediate failure. mine was <1m. HENG SIO! but nevermind, kill factor x1.
3. circuit- reverse parking w/out poles: rather than turning RIGHT, i turned LEFT when i reversed. sounds familiar? YES, IT WAS WHAT HAPPENED EARLIER ON. doink. the first time it happened, the second time happened again on the same day today. freakkkkkkkk! speechless TTM! i was like URGHHHH! "SORRY!!!" and the tester coolly told me "is okay, try again". i tried again and went the right direction (of cos, duh!). and well, i was given chance for it lar :P otherwise 2 more demerits. kill factor x2.
4. once i left the reverse parking w/out poles lots, i turned out and got penalised for not checking traffic on both sides before turning out. SHEEEET. cost me a freaking 4 demerits. and the tester nag like idk-no-tmr! GRAWR! kill factor x3!
5. at the end of the test, i turned in to the wrong lane. should be right-follow-right but i went to the left lane. RAWR! kill factor x4!
kill factor x5?
MOVING AT TOO SLOW SPEED ON THE ROAD.
i was moving on eunos link at a speed of 50kmph, a speed which my teacher would quantify as "OI! TOO FAST!". but he marked me down for slow-ness x2. mehhhhhhh! ANGRY!
and this is not all. he really is unfriendly TTM. when my test ended, he said "off engine, follow me". i looked at my car in horror and realised that i didnt know how to off the car engine cos id nver done so before :/ scary ballllllllls! use common sense, and turned the key. HAHA! then i realised i hadnt pulled the handbrake even after id unbuckled my seatbelt so i did so, and he was like "your gear why still at 1? must put neutral you dont know arh?" FIERCE ): i adjusted gear, and he just walked out lo. so i kookoo-ly followed him, really fretting that i would fail cos i screwed up the circuit like so unexpectedly! and i was really trying so hard to emphasize on my "checking blind spots" already. damn nice of him too, he was like, walking up to level 2 and not bothering about me at all. and he walked into the room, asked me to "sit down". and proceeded to print my driving practical test report. he then told me to sit down at another table, and he explained to me my 5 mistakes which incurred demerits, aka kill factors. boo, i counted like.. the number of demerits that would warrant me a fail. but in the end, he turned to the back of the slip, and showed me a
"PASSED".
OH CRIES IN HAPPINESS! i was like thank you thank you thank you thank you! SO HAPPY!!! im like so gladddd! then went outside the room to the counter to make payment for my license :D hah!
went downstairs, saw my teacher, and i was like "I PASSED!" and he also said equally loudly to the people outside "PASS LO PASS LO! HAHAHA!" first time i saw him really so glad for me yo! :D but im glad too! really glad. :D he's a really nice nice teacher. teaches well, and really ensures that i master things properly before moving on. even though he lieks to burp out loud and laugh at me when i make mistakes, he's still the nicest driving teacher, really! (: he changed my whole perspective about private students being taught by slack teachers who dont follow a strict curriculum and having to wait a long time for their test date. but it's not true at all (:
