Well, I PASSED MY DRIVING!!! Hahaha. Happy happy happy happy happy happy. Anyway, as the whole world can tell, I had my driving test, at 825am this morning. Couldn't sleep well the night before. Had nightmares. Woke up at 2 am and then at 4 am and couldn't go back to sleep. Tossed and turned. Had pre-test drive and still screwed up like almost everything. I think Helen was super irked that I had a test coming and I'm still stalling the engine everywhere. So that left me super worried. Sat in the waiting room. Could feel the tension in the air. All the other people on test were like sitting in silence. I was literally scared shitless. Felt like pooping the whole time. Scared, nervous, cold sweat, etc.
My name was called and I was like "This is it. I'm dead." Started the car (problem-free...surprisingly), then went throught the circuit. Did the slope thing first, which was one of my weakest 'cos my car always rolls backwards down the slope. The other car beside me rolled backwards and I was like "Crap! I'm dead!" and then I overcame the dreaded slope pretty smoothly (cool!). Abit more confidence restored. Vertical parking, parallel parking, perpendicular parking and crank course all went better than expected. I was like in the circuit for not more than 15 minutes.
The tester took me out on the road. I was super scared that I'll stall the engine in the middle of the junction, which I ALWAYS do without fail. Every single lesson would see at least one stalling of the engine. So naturally I was darn scared. Again (surprisingly), I didn't stall and no cars horned at me and I managed to change lanes quite nicely which I also ALWAYS fail to do and just during yesterday's lesson, Helen was like telling me that the way I drive could cause an accident very easily so like DUH! I was scared. But test went very smoothly and I was among the first few to finish. But didn't know the result yet until I overheard the tester guy telling Helen "Bagus!" which meant good in Malay. So a teeny weeny bit happier as I followed the fella up to the traffic police office. Then he told me I passed and I was smiling like some doofus. He was like "How many lessons have you had so far?" and I was like "Erm, 19-20?". Then he was like "20 only? And you can drive like that? You ride motorcycle?" and I was like "Nope". But the guy was pretty impressed and I was pretty impressed myself. Didn't know I could get through this. While waiting for the test to start, it felt worse than waiting for my 400m breastroke event to start during last year's nationals.
Had to sit through some road safety video which the driving centre put up for those who passed the test. I was the only girl in that room. Had to restrain myself and couldn't smile as widely as I wanted. The other males in the room were busy talking to one another and I had to sit in one corner alone. Felt like prancing everywhere but can't. So torturing. Haha. But IT'S OVER!!!!!!!!! I love the whole world. Really really thank God for a smooth test and considerate drivers who didn't horn at me or anything else.
Enough about driving. Polo training the whole week. Really shagged man. Last 2 trainings were the worse. Felt like my arms and legs were leaden. Can't swim properly 'cos I was darn tired. Assessment tomorrow and Sunday. Hope I can get through it.
Gotta run now. Meeting Mom for lunch. Bye bye beautiful world!!!
