I MADE IT
yeah!! YEAH !! YEAH!! yeah!! finally got my driving licence !!!
i feel extremely happy and overjoyed.. but i'm too tired to celebrate..
lets recap what happened today.. its the 1st time i'm not being nervous..
visualizing your tasks seem to cure nervousness.. waiting in the room for 15mins til it was 415.. a man in his late 40's called out my name and i just followed him.. when getting into the car.. toyota vios.. he told me the procedure for the test.. so listen lor
he drove around to the furthest end of the circuit and asked me to turn in.. i did.. however there was a car blocking the way to the parrallel parking.. the tester just say " overtake him and turn in".. i was like "WTF" and was staring at him in doubt..
but he say again : " just turn in".. since he repeated it again i just turn in lor.. had to make the waiting car wait longer.. parrel parking is a diaster.. 1) i forgot reverse.. i moved forward to realised i was in the wrong gear.. 2). i kinda mis que the turning part but it turned out alrite.. with the side mirrors missing the pole by centimetres.. lady luck on my side =)
next was the S cource.. did it like what i usually do- slow.. real slow.. went to the hill next.. no problem.. 3 point turn.. dont know which instructor wana pressure me.. when i was abt to reverse into the space, his car was stationed in front of the space i;m suppose to go in.. i go no idea how to judge distance from the mirrors.. it turned out alright..
this guy was quite annoying asking me to turn in and out. like a maze in the circuit.. i kinda lost concentration at one point and just stop there to let the person move out.. he needed to ask a question" y arent u moving?" the reason i give him is that that guy stopped on the middle line.. if i oversteer i would scratch the car already.. he kept quiet...
i admit during the drive out part i drove damn slowly.. 70kmph road i went 55kmph or so.. and thats slow for the tester.. he did'nt give me any U-turns but give a lot of turns which i see as an attempt to pass me.. the roads were clear of jams and it was kinda smooth for me..
by this time i was abt to fall asleep.. everything was undramatic becoz i was slow.. went back to hear i've pass.. but i dun ahve the energy to celebrate..
