I PASSED!!!! I PASSED!!!!

I passed my driving test today. It was a waste of time there though, because I waited for more than 5 hours. The actual time I’m in the car driving was only less than 1 hour. I met a few of my ex-schoolmate there. They are Lea Ci, Xue Ying, Chuan Koon and another guy from S4 that I don’t know his name.

I did the 2nd section first before going on-the-road. A lot of people fail going on the hill. I’m weak at that, so seeing so many people before me fail was quite frightening. While I’m chatting with a girl from the same driving school with me, suddenly “BANG”. Someone released the hand brake without stepping on the brake. The Kancil bang on to the other Kancil in front of it, but fortunately both cars were not dented.

When it’s my turn, I got a lousy car. The driver side door can’t be open. Someone before me was using that car need to get out from the other side of the car. As I know the door can’t be open, I straight away get in the car from the other side. The one in charge for calling number said to me: “Eh Ah Moi, kalau kamu duduk di sana, siapa yang memandu? ”, I immediately answer him: “Pintu tu tak boleh dibuka lah ~ ~”. He has nothing to say after that. Luckily my instructor helps me fix the door so that I can go in and out of the car easily. The car jerks all the time making me more nervous and its hand brake can’t brake properly. But in the end, everything turned out right.

Then after waiting for more than an hour, I was tested on-the-road. The tester I got was Malay with the name ‘Abdul Hamid’. He’s good. He talked to me all the way. Well, I think that makes me less nervous. And he even teaches me the right way to over take. I really want to thank him but I didn’t because I was so excited to get out of the car and report to my instructor that I pass the test.

Tester: Hari ni ambil ujian kereta dan motor sama-sama ke?
Torpor: Taklah. Hari ni saja kereta.
Tester: Jadi bila nak ambil?
Torpor: Mungkin selepas Chinese New Year.
Tester: * I was following another ‘L’ candidate quite closely * Pernah belajar memotong?
Torpor: Pernah.
Tester: Nak potong tak?
Torpor: Tak berani lah.
Tester: Pernah memotong?
Torpor: Pernah tapi sekali sahaja. Sebuah teksi.
Tester: Yang sedang bergerak ke dah berhenti?
Torpor: Bergerak tapi sedang diperlahankan.
Tester: Ok, nanti saya kata ‘Clear’ kamu potong.
Torpor: Ok.
Tester: * after I make the U-turn we must make as a part of the test * Ok, nanti… ‘Clear’…
Torpor: VROOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM…… * accelerate as much as I can *
Tester: * I’m in front of the car now * Lain kali kalau memotong, seluruh kereta mesti di lorong kanan. Tak boleh begitu dekat dengan kereta yang dipotong. Jangan himpit orang lain pula. Tadi sudah terlalu dekat.

I got 3 crosses and got 17 marks out of 20. I think the tester gave me more marks as I can drive while talking to him and I dare to over take others while being tested. Why I say so, because I saw someone with 2 crosses only but got a 16.
