VROOM VROOM!! !! !!

I was really pressured last night because my driving test was stipulated to take place today.
well, why pressure u may ask?
It was not so much of me worrying that i didnt have the adequte skills to pass, but it was more of I NEED TO PASS BECUASE I HATE LEARNING DRIVING AND WAITING FOR A TEST DATE!

yes, as usual my self-confidence and arrogance played an intergral role in hyping myself up so i wasn't that anxious about driving until the test finally took place. But i ll talk about that later.

u see, a week back, my instructor quit the company i was learning under and thus i went through this big chain of being pushed around with different instructors and cars.
Having your instructor quit and thus causing u to drive using a different car ONE WEEK before the test date is never a good thing. (could be a blessing in disguise though)

so yea, a big part of me grew so sick of going for lessons, driving around aimlessly around planned routes and also spending cash from my parents on paying for all these stuff. (i spent around 1.5k for this license btw)
u see, everytime u go for a test, u spend roughly $200. so if u keep failing, u ll keep spending tha amount everytime u book a test.

anyway, on to the test. My legs were so bloody tired from the warm-up drive and teamed with nervousness finally setting in, they were actually shaking while i was going around the circuit.
and to be honest, i kept having this illusion that i had mounted curbs, crossed lanes when i wasn't supposed to, etc... etc...
which lead me to think that i had actually failed the test even before i hit the road.
NOT GOOD!!!

well, in all 27 lessons that i have attended, i have never experienced such bad traffic. NEVER BEFORE.
bad traffic topped with people who DONT GIVE WAY and a ice truck that cut into my lane causing me to almost get into an accident probably is the ultimate disaster recipe for a driving test.
But somehow, by the grace of God, Mother Mary, St Peter and the various other Saints, i somehow managed to pass!

yes, i do believe that divine powers helped me A LOT today. probably even helped me pass the test :)
and yes, i believe in God. i am a Christian after all.

so yes, and as for those that are curious, the testers are damn dao and rude.
ugh.
well, i thought some of them were decent but with my luck with people, i happened to get mr grouchy.

but who cares!? i passed!
THANK YOU GOD!!!

ha, its so much more fun to drive in your own freedom and on highways! (of cos, under the supervision of my mummy!)
so yea, i drove from eunos down to city hall, then to this place in bedemmer to cut my hair (its spiky spiky now) and then to esplanade for dinner with my relatives from overseas, then to hougang and back home!
HURRAY!

i ve got my own set of keys now!
next up, time to buy my own car!!!
