Today I received a registered letter. At first, I didn't know what was it as it is my first time getting a registered letter. After I signed, I found out that it was from the traffic police. Then, I knew that I have got my car licence. I thought I would get it on 03 Jan 2007 as it is 2 weeks after I have pass my practical test.
This is what happened on the 18 Dec 2006.
I went to the driving centre behind City Plaza at 1330. I drove to Ubi driving centre to practise the circuit. After that, I practise on the road. My instructor show me route 8 and 2. By the time I finished practising, it was 1525. I have to be settle down in the waiting room at 1530. I only have 5 min break.
I left home in a rush that I didn't have the time to go to the toliet. Besides, I thought the practise is going to be short. And after that, I can go to the toliet. However, the lesson was until 1525. I have to bear it for 2 hours.
I was the last person to enter the waiting room. I was allocated to route 10 and Mr Lim is my tester. I was confident this time as I told myself to do things slow and easy. Lucky the sky was dark and it wasn't raining yet. Everything went smoothly during the test. The tester didn't say much about my driving. Unlike the previous tester who kept saying about my driving skills which made me nervous and panic too.
After the test, the tester and I went to a room to review my performance. On the way, my heart was pumping so hard. I thought I fail. But when the tester said, "later go down and watch the video," I was happy and as I knew I have passed. I got 18 demeit points out of 20. These are the points deducted:
1. Incorrect technique for emergency stop----------- 2 pts
2. Insufficient Acceleration-------------------------- 2 pts
3. Verr off course while driving---------------------- 4 pts
4. Fail to slow down when approaching road hazard -- 6 pts
5. Take too long in checking blind spot/mirror-------- 4 pts
Total: 18 pts
After that, the rain started. I thought, "So lucky to have test at 1545. Or else I will fail in this heavy rain." I called my dad to pay for the licence though Nets which I don't own one. I told my instructor that I have passed and he was happy for me. He told me to watch the video and he went back to the driving centre. I waited for my dad as the video watching starts at 1700.
At 1700, I notice that there were about 8 people in the room. Hence I knew that only 8 people pass during my session. The video was about 6 minutes only. After that, I went to level 2 to apply for my licence.
After that, my dad ask me to drive his car to Mamaboy's house to fetch Mama and Ben. I drove quite slowly as I wasn't use to my dad's car. I also had to learn how to park without the poles. After fetching them, I drove to Changi General Hospital to visit my Grandfather. There, my parking wasn't good as there was a hump. Overall, the experience was great.
I told Jie Ying about my test. She was happy for me. She also pass her final theory. I hope she can drive soon.

Hoorray........Jie Ying has a blog too. At least now, we can chat with each other thru tag if there is no msn chat in school. Haha....
First, I wanna say my grandfather was admitted to the hospital for high fever. He has been there for a week already. He is suppose to be discharge a few days later but because the doctor found a tumour in his large intestine. Hence, he needs an operation. Wish him Luck!
Second, I just finished my term test yesterday. For my poly friends, they still have CDS test today. I wish them good luck. I have 4 term test. I only have confident in one test, that is Procoi. I have confident that I can do well. As for the rest, I think I can pass but not in the A range.
Third, my driving practical test is in two days time,. Worried? Not really. I am more confident this time. I have learnt a lot more. Basically, I have to take things slow and steady. I really hope I'll pass my test this time as I do not want to spend more money on the lesson. Im going broke soon.
Forth, I am going to KL in three days time. I can't wait. I has been a long time since I left Singapore. Actually, I wanna take a plane to further countries like Australia. Due to my mom fear of plane, we could only go to Malaysia or Thailand thru coach or car. Boo hoo hoo. When I started work and earning stable income, I will go overseas. Hahaha....
Last, Wesley wants to meet my on th 27th dec. However, I haven't confirm with him that I will be coming as I have so many projects to do. I dunno if I have the time. If I can't make it on the 27th, then I will have to meet him another time.
Well, after typing so much, my fingers are tired. Blog some other time. Most likely after my KL trip.. Bye.
Nerdatic was here......
