Good News!
I passed my driving exam! I'm not going to say "It's so easy man!" because it's not.I don't understand why some people boast about how good they drive and said that it's so easy to pass.
My advise is..for those who thinks that you're not good enough(which is like me!haha), it's not as hard you think it is.Just be confident and pray! and the best advise you can ever get is "RELAX".Thanks Tabitha for that piece of advice and prayer!
For those who think that you're too good to take the test..Think twice.Don't show off or off you go.
Well, as for what happened today.I woke up around 5:15am.I couldn't even get my eyes open.Then my driving instructor came around 5:45am.He went to pick another student up.To my suprise I knew him.We're from the same tuition class last year.I just go to know his name.
Anyway we got to Ulu Langat(where the driving test is held) around 6:50am or so.So my friend, Yi Gang and I took turn to practise.We have to stop at 8 to get ready for our test."Get Ready". Yah right. Typical Malaysian style. Since when anything's on time? JPJ officers came around 9am.I registered only half an hour after that.Then I waited for an hour before being called to test.
They called my number - Kuning 15 which means Yellow 15.One JPJ officer will usually call 4-5 of us together.Then we'll go one by one under that particular JPJ officer.I was kind of happy that I got a decent looking Malay lady as a tester.I'm the second one by the way.So I waited for roughly...15 minutes? Owh, this is the road test where they'll see how you drive by asking you to drive to either "Route 1" or "Route 2".And did I mentioned that they can fail you for not adjusting the mirror, seat, checking the signal etc etc.As in you must get at least 16/20.They'll tick on your card if you did the things that you're supposed to and put an 'X' if you did not do it.
Well, since I'm the second one..the tester's already in the car once I got in.Guess what? Once I stepped into the car, she said "sekejap ah"( for awhile ah).So I actually waited for her to SHOW her that I did ADJUST the mirror and did TESTED the wiper but she put an 'X' for that column.Basically..this 'decent' looking lady may be having her 'monthly' thingy or something.She got pissed because she said I drive too slow.wtv.She said she don't have time and all.I wanted to ask her "then why are you here?".Owh yea..what actually calms me down is the fact that she's much more nervous than I am.Ulu Langat is a place with too many lorries.She kept asking me to brake.I took my time to brake as the lorries weren't that close to us.She scolded me for that.Saying that I drive dangerously.She keeps shouting "Saya sudah bengang la! Buat baik-baik boleh tak?!" - "I'm pissed already la! Can do properly?!" (in the typical pissed Malay lady tone.haha).People used to say that JPJ officers will close one eye and let you pass.Maybe she did close her eyes but she opened her mouth too much.I got 16/20.I think I deserved 18 or 19 as she gave me 'X' for the mirror and wiper thingy.The other two X's I got was for putting up signal too late.LoL.It wasn't late at all.And the other one is for not changing gear according to the situation.That I admit.Most of the people got an 'X' for it.I hate driving manual cars.At least I did not fail or I'll totally sue JPJ.
After that I waited for another 30minutes to be tested on the slope and parking as well as the '3 point turn'.I passed all that with flying colors.I can't fail it or else my driving instructor will kill me.haha.Anyway, before we park we have to pass our card to one of the JPJ officer sitting under the shade while we drive under the hot sun.If anyone know me well enough..I sweat so easily.So as I went over to sign my card in front of the officer, one drop of my sweat drip down on the card just a little.Before I took the card and left..the JPJ officer said "Basah Gila"(Basah-Wet.Gila-Crazy)which actually kind of means freaking wet.It's actually just a drop of sweat and it barely touch the card.The JPJ officer held the card as if he was holding onto some kind of crap.I don't mind him acting so but what bothers me is the way he said that while staring at me in a stupid way.I hate those attitude.
Anyway..I passed! That's all I need to know.That's all that matter.I'll get my license latest by next week.
Thanks again for those who prayed for me! Thank God!=)
