after 9 ardous months...

1st test: immediate failure for not stopping at the stop sign. too freaking nervous. total points = 24
2nd test: knocked down parking pole after completing the parallel parking. urgh. total points=28
3rd test: completed circuit with ZERO points. on my way out, failed to see pedestrians coming from the rarely used pesdestrian crossing in BBDC. IMMEDIATE FAILURE. cried my heart out. total points = 22

today.
4th test: did 4 out of 7 items in the circuit. test route cut short by tester for some reason or other.

and i passed with 6 points. FINALLY.
could have kissed the tester. grin.

but i did expect to pass today. wondered how would i have felt if i failed this test and had to go for a fifth one.
even my instructor instructed me to pass and he said he dint wanna see my face again.
before the test i was checking out the safety video viewing session timing. i dint want to miss the 1240 one, or else the next available timing was at 2.45pm. i was the last person to leave the room, yet the second or the third to come back to the room. i did only parallel and vertical parking, crank course and directional change. and he told me to get out of the circuit. no mention of the slope, S course nor E brake. but given today's weather, quite hard to E brake unless he wants the car to skid.

then went onto the road.
took route 3. the tester dint remember the route he had to take me. so he asked me. i could have changed it to an easier route ya? heh. but i am an honest kid, i swear *blinks bambi eyes*.
turned onto bukit batok road towards teck whye.
turned left into CCK way. had abit of a problem changing down from 4 to 2. 2 points there.
turned right into CCK ave 1. nothing happened.
turned right into teck whye avenue. took a while to move off. 2 points there. :(
WAS supposed to turn right into teck whye lane. up the slope near the temple. tester dint say anything about turning right. go on straight and remained on teck whye avenue.
turned left out onto CCK road and drove towards the Uturn in teck whye. no incoming cars, did u turn and off i went back into the direction of BBDC.
had a stupid slow lorry in front of me. over took him. took the tester a while to realise i overtook the lorry. he turned around and mumbled to himself, "now why did you overtake that lorry.. OH the lorry is indeed slow."
all this when i was on my way back. *grumbles*

on the way back i was wondering. why on earth did i only complete 4 items in the circuit and why was my route cut short? did i commit some big immediate failure mistake that i dint realise along the way such that he took the liberty to cut short every single thing i did?
but noooo. when we went back to the room, all he merely did was flip the paper to the back, signed his name with a flourish and told me to drive safely. wheee!
so happy. bounded down the stairs to look for junjun who was patiently cross stitching. then watched the video, talked to fellow passees. waited to make my temp license, talked somemore to fellow passees. i swear i was on a high. :D
went back down to get my refund, got hold of phone and started msging every single person who knew.
kailyn, joycet, fishball, timtoh, mok. thank you all for encouragement and support.
to junjun, i love you for being there for mee! *muacks*

and tada, quote yy, i shall join her in terrorising the roads of jurong. grin. :D
