Lord, i thank you for giving me this chance to drive and with this license, may i bring more joy and help to your community. May i use the gift that you have given to me to be a blessing to others. Lord, thank You for being with me throughout the whole test, giving me peace and assurance.
Thank You for letting me pass my driving test. All honour and glory belongs to You.
The day started out scary. Sky loomed grey and it actually started to rain when i was driving my warm up. Circuit warming up was not bad except for directional change. Instructor said to pay more attention to it coz today i seemed to be turning the wheel more frantically. so go slower and pay attention to the unconscious signs and signals i'm giving while driving.
After i got my tester and route, i got in the car and the circuit went flawlessly. Thank God coz the 'starting on a hill' [which is my most unconfident part] was the first... that went well, didn't roll back at all, jus went straight up, controlled and calm. The rest of the circuit went according to plan, no glitches whatsoever. Once i got onto the road, i was already really happy inside coz i cleared the circuit.
The road section was interesting. There was a point in time jus after coming out of the circuit where i wondered whether i was on the right lane... coz he said go forward at the traffic light... and i was on the left lane [slow cars wad]... then i was like.. OH CRAP. wait a minute, the lane i'm on now... can go forward or not? or issit a left turn lane? then i was like... man man man!!!!.. then the cars in front of me started driving off... forward! YAY. aha.. so there was no mistake there.
I came to a hump at the later part of the day and i slowed down but apparently not enuf coz when we went over it, the tester leaned forward and backwards like some rocking chair [so spastik lor]... and i knew i'd get points deducted for that... no matter. To cut it all short, when i went back to the test circuit, i parked and followed the tester up but i managed to give a thumbs up to my instructor before i disappeared into the building. After he sat me down and showed me all the mistakes i made [3]... he ticked passed. WAH! i tell you, the feeling was like a volcano erupting inside... i was so happy. :) relieved la. coz i got points deducted for 3 things.
1. Early Clutching [apparently when i E braked, i stepped on the clutch first instead of the brake] i think that's nonsense coz my technique was correct. whatever!
2. Never slow down enuf at the hump.
3. Turn into wrong lane. [which is true too la. i was turning right and went to lane 2 [left lane] so i'll admit, that was wrong. i should have turned to the right lane then filtered left]
yeh so all in all, 12 points. :) great la! i was so happy. got out and called my instructor straight away. He said after he heard who i got as a tester, he knew i'd pass coz my tester wasn't so ngiao... jus make sure i did the normal stuff like check blind spots and all. :) so yayz. haha made my license and then headed to camp.
yarh.. then to cut a long day short, i graduated today from Driving School AND Section Commander Course. so effectively today, i am a driver and a section commander. wowz. big day huh? hahah... sad thing is, course is over... so tml must go back to unit. sighz. haha. and i heard we're going to OT on wednesday. yayz. what a start.
heh. so great day. and it's not over yet. going to meet some YAFers outside for prata in... half an hour's time. haha. yup. great feeling now! :) heh
