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

it was 7:10 in the morning.. i woke up and got myself prepared, waiting in front of the television... (no, i was not waiting for some freakin program on tv... as i was saying..,) i waited patiently, but no one was outside my house gate... i continued to wait in front of the tv.. (and obviously the tv's influence was too strong to resists.. i had to turn it on and browse through the channels..) i waited, and waited... and finally it was already 8 o'clock, a phone call...! it was one of the soon lee 'apek' asking for directions to my house so that he can pick me up.. well, the 'apek' couldnt understand english and so i had to try to give the information to him in hokkien... (and my hokkien sux..) so after about 5 minutes talking crap on the phone, neither one of us understood anything.. so he decided to ask me to wait in front of the governor's house.. i finally reached soon lee at 8:30 am.. and sat there nervously... the air-conditioned room made the situation worse.. i could feel butterflies flying in my stomach.... *flutter, flutter, growl, flutter* 30 minutes passed, all of us were then called up to sit in the van and off we went to melati.. this time, i was sitting in the middle and the air-cond was blowing right into my face.. *shiver* both my hands and face were starting to freeze up... so, there i was, sitting at the bench with the other ppl taking their exam too.. and oOOo.. isn't it my lucky day to see that 'ann'.. (it's not jann..anyway, dun wanna talk about her.. back to what i was saying....,) my heart was pounding like mad.. just like how grandmothers' pound chilies to make sambal... furthermore the malay girl next to me was mumbling out her nervousness.., adding stress to me... and my hands were freezing cold... (i was wearing a 3-quarter sleeve shirt and black pants and yet my body didn't even produce a drop of sweat...) i wasn't very confident at doing the slope thingy.. and that was the first thing they test you at.. noOoo.. a few ppl b4 me failed that part and *poof*, gone.. there goes their test.. -fail- but luckily, i got the front wheels IN the box!! 1 down, 2 more to go..!! the parking and the 3-point turn wasn't bad.. i did everything super slow just in case i wont do anything stupid and knock down every single pole after that tension i had b4 doing my test... haha.. and i PASSED! yay! then i had to wait to do my 'on the road' test... i waited and waited.... "gosh, how long am i gonna wait??!!" *sheesh* ... finally, after 2 hours of waiting, it was time, for my test... i got in the car, put my bag down and started to adjust my seat... and oh, not to forget, i was being polite to the tester and greeted him b4 i did anything... and oo.. guess what was his reply? "huh.. OKAY, JALAN!" okay.... so i then adjusted my seat, mirror and etc. etc. he continued saying "JALAN! CEPAT JALAN!" (note the caps...) i just didn't bothered and continue adjusting.. cos i didn't wanna end up like what happened to sookie.. then finally after all those adjustments, i just sat comfortably and slowly put the car in gear and get ready to move.. you see, unlike him, i wasn't in a hurry to go 'kick the bucket'... so i took my own sweet time... and there he was, next to me shouting, "CEPAT LA JALAN! JALAN!" well, it was about 12 o'clock at that time.. doesn't he want to have his 'last meal' first and spare me? goodness.. and so, my horrifying, earsplitting test began... drove down to the practicing ground and out of melati, onto the road..

common sense no.1 - you dun cross/turn a corner of the road if there are cars coming at your direction
common sense no.2 - there's no need for you to cross/turn a corner in hurry even though there are NO cars from at least 2 km away..

well, i guess that tester either does not have common sense or forgot to bring it along and left it at home... there were cars coming so i didn't turn the corner.. and what he said was, "JALAN LA!! PUSING PUSING PUSING CEPAT!!!!" what the?! what's his problem?? is he that desperate to 'go meet his maker'??!! he even wanted to grab my steering wheel... *sheesh* 'please dun drag me into digging your grave man..!' (i obviously didnt say that..) he took me to route C.. and that was the route which i'm not sure of.. luckily, there was another learners' car in front of me and that guy asked me to follow that car.. *phew* save me the trouble to ask him to show me the directions which i think he won't be happy to do so... we stopped at a junction.. as i was being taught, we should stop at a save distance from the car in front.. so i did... and.. what he said was, "KENAPA BEGITU JAUH?!! JALAN LA!! HAIYO!!" what?! you want me to kiss the other learners' car bumper izzit??!! so i just moved barely a foot and stepped on the break REAL HARD.. i was wearing the seatbelt... he wasn't.. and so, the car jerked to the front and then back.. and obviously that nimrod kinda 'terhumban-ed' to the front a lil... LOL :) and there he goes shouting... "EI HAAIIYOO!!!!!!" and stared at me... i acted as if nothing happened and continued looking straight.. i just wanted to burst into laughter when that happened.. but i had to control.. dun want to give him any reason to scold or fail me... the journey continued with his "CEPAT JALAN! JALAN LA!!" i guess his vocabulary's just limited to words like 'jalan, haiyo, kiri, kanan, cepat...' *tsk tsk tsk* pitiful soul... thank goodness i didn't have to drive the whole way but took the shortcut.. but trust me, driving with such an a$$hole for 5 minutes is a REAL PAIN..... thankfully, he passed me.. but what's with the shouting then>?! baka!! and how stupid of me, i said thank you before i left the car... i should have said "CELAKA HANG!!" before getting out of the car.. like what jie said i should have done.. oh well, i passed anyway!! YAY!!! watch out everyone, here i come!!!! hehe...
