Blog Entry2 Years on...Aug 24, '06 12:58 PM
for everyone

I was on the way back from Yihui's and Ester's grandpa's wake when Chong Jie mentioned about learning driving.

Today is exactly two years since I’ve got my Class 3 driving license. Time flies mann... But the day of the practical test is always so fresh in my mind.

Everything went well in the circuit itself. Till the moment the driving examiner, Mr. Yeo instructed me to proceed to exit the circuit. Mistakes I’ve made during my test were turning into the wrong lane and didn't check my blind spot for don’t know how many dozen times mann... The driving examiner, Mr. Yeo, can still tally the number of times I failed to check my blind spot.

I was the among the 1st few to finish my practical test and we headed back to the center.

In the evaluation room was where the tense moment came.  Mr. Yeo then asked me what my mistakes are. I replied and he started to tell how serious it'll be in making such mistakes. I looked at him sadly and to show him how guilty I was in making such mistakes and hope he'll give me a pass...

I still remember the moment he started to tally the points and he put his pen on the "Result" box and then he ponders. It is such a killer mann... Seconds felt like minutes... Then he finally put a tick on the "Pass" box.

That was such a happy moment for me. I remembered running down the stairs passing by a few candidates who just came back from the practical. I went to look for my driving instructor and he told me to offer some joss sticks to the gods erected beside the driving center. 

It all happened 2 years ago... Thank you Mr. Lim (My driving instructor). 

Hmmm... should i go for class 2???
