Bye Little Blue Book.

Woke up today at 830am expecting to feel all the crazy jitters I had anticipated.
But I felt pretty ok. No performance anxiety... yet.

Checked the weather, sunny with a light breeze. Perfect.

Washed up, took my breakfast and went down to catch the bus. While I usually had to wait close to half and hr, it came aft less than 10 mins. Great.

Arrived at the driving center with 15 mins to spare. Nice.

Instructor picked me up for warm-up at 10am. No jitters but dunno y I reversed too fast and knocked down the poleSS during parallel parking -_- And rolled off a little at the slope. Road was ok.

Came back to the driving center and waited for the tester to pick me up as I sat in the waiting area with 9 other anxious looking students.

Tester came, not too fierce. Good, no pressure.

Test route 1. I smiled as if I've passed.

Jerked when I brake at the slope. Tester not comfy :( But the rest of the circuit was smooth and parking was my best attempts so far.

Dunno y we right-turned at the entrance (route 1 supposed to go left). But not much problem. Half way thru, tester shook his head. Den I realised I moved off at Gear2. DAMN. Did u-turn at green arrow. Smoooth. And we're on our way back. Clear traffic so it was easy to overtake.

10m away from the entrance back to driving center, taxi stopped to pick up passenger at the side. Over took and went back to the test lots safely.

Tester din wanna tell me my results, he says have to print out :S

Waited impatiently at the tester room.

He sat down in front of me w my result slip and reprimanded me for my mistakes. I din hear much coz I was busy trying to peep at my results.


18points Thank God!!!
But stupid Taxi, I got deducted 12 pts because of u :( :( :(

Still, I'm very very very thankful coz:
1) I dun have to go to the new driving center at WOODLANDS.
2) I dun have to do POLE-LESS parking
3) I dun have to spend MORE money
4) Poppy told his family I'm taking my driving test and uncle said, "good, must pass one shot."
5) I can drive 蓝宝宝 while poppy sit next to me and erm... rest :)

I was praying to God the entire time and I realise I really dun feel as anxious as I thought I would and was greatly blessed with great weather, one of the easiest route, smooth traffic, not too fierce tester and the ability to rmb all the silly mistakes I've made b4 and not make them today. Thanks to all who prayed for me :) :)

Yayyyyyyy I can say gooooodbyyyyeeeee to my Little Blue Book :)
