Want me to drive you around?

Yep! I passed my driving test. =) First try too. Hahaha!

Got my L license on the 28th of January 2008. Started driving lessons on the 21st of February. Had 2 more lessons(22nd Feb and 1st of March) then took my driving test yesterday(4th of March).

Hehehe. First part was the slope, parking and 3 point turn test. I was really worried over the slope by somehow managed to get over it. Once I passed the slope I pretty much knew I'd pass the rest, parking and 3 point turn are easy. Hehehe.

So passed the first part. Hehe. Had to run around a bit for the JPJ people cause they wanted me to collect some forms from some place. But hey, I passed, I'll do anything for them. =P The JPJ people asked me if I ate some proto something something. I had absolutely no idea what they were talking about, so I just... smiled along with them.

Then road test. People are usually nervous over the road, but I like the road! Haha. Okay, I was only worried over the slope. The rest I'm pretty much ok. Waited until about 3.50pm before they called my number.. The examiner I got was a veli nice fella. We're supposed to check a few things such as mirrors, signals and wiper, right? He just told me to 'Jalan je'. I thought it was a trap and didn't bother, just told him that I'm 'pendek' and need to adjust the mirror and car seat. Which is very true, anyway. When I started checking the signals, he was like, "Jalan aje! Kami tolong kamu!

So I went.. he told me to cross, but I was like.. "Tunggu, ada kereta.." Then he went, "Mana ada??! Jalan!" Ish. Then the car I thought was turning in didn't turn in.. ish, he was right. Lol. So I jalan lor. Went till 35 km/h, he told me to maintain. He told me to 'dengar arahan saya je, senang.' So I did. He told me when to change gear, when to go.. only thing he didn't do is tell me to brake.

Why? Because I'm sooo slow??

No! Because when I wanted to press the brake down I found it already down(you know the L cars have an extra brake on the passenger's seat..)! Hahaha. So many times. Somemore he was looking down at the papers and not the road! Yet he knew when to brake. I grew geram and started braking really early cause I didn't want him to keep braking for me. :-D

Hahahhaa. Then the road I'm supposed to take is 7km long. We have 2 roundabouts, traffic light, highway, then 2 roundabouts again. At the 2nd roundabout on the way to the traffic light the examiner told me to turn back already. Wheee! Hahaha. He was like, 'Susah ke senang?' I tersaid 'Susah,' and he went, 'HUH??! SUSAH???' and I quickly corrected, 'Tak, tak, senang!' hahaha. So I turned back at the 2nd roundabout.. drove all the way back again.. In all my route was only 1/4 of the supposed 7km. Hehehe.

Passed!

Whee. When I reached back, CP was like, 'So fast?' Haha. She passed too. =)

And my baby hamsters are remarkably cute. Will post pictures of them when I've got the mood. =P

Oh yes, SPM results will be out on the 12th of March, next Wed.

You know what? I don't feel that nervous anymore.


God bless
