It's UNBELIEVABLE !

Today is April Fool's Day!! And it's also my lucky day. Everything just seemed to be going so well until i couldn't believe what had happened. I woke up early in the morning to get ready for everything b4 going for driving test which i had been waiting in anticipation. Finally the day has come... Then i drove illegally to the place where i was supposed to reach at 6.30a.m. to "warm up" . The journey to the driving school took abt 1hour. We reached at abt 7.30a.m. It was still early , so we got to practise b4 the test began.

We had waited for very long for the counter to open. Then we went to wait at one place until our names were called. Just right after i came back from the toilet, the person in-charge called my name. Then i was waiting anxiously for my turn to come. "Nombor 64" oh no!! It's my turn... Then i greeted the examiner and he was not that scary afterall. In fact, he's quite nice as an examiner. I was driving very slowly and carefully to play safe. True enough , I passed the 1st test(driving on the road). Yeah I was HAPPY...then i went to the next station. This time round, we had to wait for ages for our turns to come....it was sooo boring and the weather was getting hotter... After a long long period of time, finally i could put a fullstop for the whole process.... I was called to drive on the slope, side parking and last but not least three-point-turn. And I passed!!!! It was quite unbelievable... I walked happily to the pondok to sign the form. When i finished signing, i realised that it wasn't my form...omg..i signed on the wrong form..arghhh...
But it was not a big deal... they just cancelled and asked me to sign again. Pheww...

After reaching home... my dad congratulated me and brought to choose my own car...wow..everything was happening too fast as if i was still dreaming...By next week, i will be getting my P- license together with the car...oh i'm so lucky!!!

I'm just a Beginner!

Driving is an experience that everyone should try it on your own because you'll never know how it feels like until you hold the steering on your own. Today is my first time driving on the road. I thought it was easy but it wasn't for a beginner like me. Luckily, I have a very patient and nice instructor, she taught me every step in detail. So after letting me know every important part of the car e.g. clutch, brake, accelerator, speedometer, fuel gauge, gear, handbrake, side mirror, rear-view mirror etc, I began my lesson. I sat at the driver's seat excitedly. First, i adjusted my seat until my foot could press the clutch to the maximum. Then, I checked whether all the mirrors were in the right positions. Next, I tried all the signals to make sure they were functioning well. After I had settled everything, I fastened the seatbelt. Here my journey began.

I started off with the 1st gear and I just followed my instructor's instructions. I found it hard to do a few things simultaneously, probably my brain couldn't coordinate well with my limbs. I also have another problem. The steering! It was hard for me to control it, so the car was like zigzagging on the road. Very dangerous!!! I think no one dares to sit at the passenger's seat when I'm driving. But, it was only the first time. I'll improve..it's just a matter of time. The road was rather busy as I drove back home. Yet, I was driving like a tortoise...no wonder one driver honked the car horn as he drove past ..ops sorry la..After that, my car stopped at the traffic lights, but when the light turned green, the engine spluttered and died. In fact, before this the engine had died for arnd 3 times..heheee I was panic-striken..fortunately the instructor cooled me down. Afterall, it was FUN!!! My next lesson will be on this wed. I just found out that it clashes with qx's surprised party. If possible, I'll try my best to go.
