Post no. 873.

Looking at the number of posts I have posted, I cant believe I have post for 3 years. Since 2006, I have been blogging til today. Blog about life, about friends, about movies, about sports, about games, about little things I see every day.

Today, I will blog about something that I have accomplished this morning.

Getting a driving license!

I remember going to school with one of my army friends. One fine day, he asked me to go book BTT with him as a supportive person, I went with him and booked the test too.

After awhile, BTT test was here. It took one month for the test to arrive. I didnt really prepare alot. I remembered reading just one of the theory book and not understanding what the hell it was trying to convey to me. I tried the Trial test paper. I think 1 out of 3 passed. Then i went to take the test. I went home with a fail while my friend had a passed.

He went on to book FTT for himself, while I have to rebook BTT.

For the 2nd try, I spent alot of time studying every page, every points and finally understand all. I was awarded a pass for BTT. A Pass for FTT too later on.

I went to apply my PDL and asked my friend for an instructor. Only one reply, I called the instructor, he told me to call back at mid July. I decided to wait for about a month because the I thought the instructor will fetch and send me home. In the end, terms were not met. I declined the offer. I called another friend. He suggest me my current instructor.

My this instructor is good. Sometimes he will chat with you, he will ask you alot of things and try to learn things from you too. I learnt quite alot from him not only driving skills. His IC no. starts with a 0 but he doesnt look like someone at the age of 70. I started my lesson with him on a friday during july (25th i guess). It took 30 lessons before it came to today...

Today...

A rainy day.

I was like oh my god! I have encountered similar cases for the past 2 lessons too. But luckily it wasnt raining very heavily.

I actually mount the kerb a total of 4 times before the actual tests started. So i didnt have much hope of passing. I brought the testor to the car and started to drive off. My left leg was shaking through out the test. The best part is I didnt manage to stall the engine. LOL! Imagine how difficult to maintain half clutch with a shaking leg that shakes on its own. IMAGINE!

Anyway, the trip was not long. I went through all the obstacles in the circuit and went through the road. I was able to get a PASS! That's really an accomplishment for my year since I'm in the service nothing much to look forward to.

Now that I have passed my test, I do not have to go back to learn driving but I have a sudden emptiness feeling. A feeling like there is nothing left to look forward to. Maybe I really need to divert myself from what I have to do at the moment. I really dont like and want to get out of this soon. I realize driving really divert alot. It kept me busy for 5 months. 5 long months had past......

By the way, my instructor asked me have I ever been a top student in class. Obviously, the answer is no because my highest rank was second. (lol) So he told me, if I were to pass today, I will be number 1 for the first time in my life. Hmm... haha.... Though i passed, sigh......... Felt lost......
