bad day + great day = good day
warm up was fine. it started drizzling before the test. much confident as compared to the first time. went for balloting and got route 4. was told that the traffic was rather bad so we just follow the tester's instruction. i was the first to be called out by the tester. went to the car. started the engine and off we go. traffic in the circuit was rather bad as compared to the other times i went into the circuit. no major mistakes. following was on the road.indeed the traffic was freaking bad. jam and jam. dont wish to talk about the detail. went back to the centre feeling damn dejected. proceeded upstairs with the tester. he ticked on 3 boxes which is sufficient to fail me. immediately i shut myself out. didnt want to stay there any longer. i knew i failed. didnt need his advice at all. all i want was to leave the room. i could feel tears forming up slowly in my eyes as i tried hard to fight it back. i breathe deeply as he spoke. i placed one hand on the desk waiting impatiently to get my ic and pdl. all i knew was it was unfair. i couldnt accept the fact that i fail cos i was expecting to pass. he told me my weakness was traffic jam. if the road was cleared. i could drive. he went on to give me advice on how to improve. to sit in the front seat of friend's car or cabby and to observe how they drive. the moment he gave me my paper. i walked downstairs feeling angry. i walked past keong and simply ignore him. i couldnt look into his eyes. i looked around for my instructor but i couldnt find him. just when i was about to leave the centre. keong told me my instructor was just behind. i showed him my paper and he sort of scolded me before he left. tears roll down the moment i left the centre. keong followed as i walked. he consoled me and ask me to try again. at that point of time. im so disappointed i dont wish to take the 3rd time. i finally calm down when we arrived at the bus stop. we took the bus to the mrt. went to ntuc cos he promised to get me ice cream. but couldnt find the flavour i want. instead we had lunch at mac donalds. after lunch. we headed to marina cos i wanted to go there to play gun bullet. we spent 10 bucks in total at the 2 arcades. dinn was at chong pang steamboat. the variety is pathetic. really pathetic. we had uninvited guests as well. they were squeaking and we could see the grass moved as they moved. after dinn. we took a cab to keong place.had a rather good day today. not mentioning the test earlier in the day. but i have decided to take up darl's suggestion to take class 2B license first. yay~!
