3rd September

my BIG day

woke up at about 5am in the morning with a rather calm mind and headed over to the Woodlands driving centre.

due to the long waiting time for the shuttle bus, I was late for the warm up round for my test but luckily the instructor still allow me to go for it.

I was so cautious while in the circuit that I drove at less than 10km/hr!

After the warm up round, I walked around the whole place and only go to the waiting room when it is nearing the time when the tester would call names. From my past experience you see, sitting inside makes you even more nervous and could result in you failing it.

My name was called by the tester not long after I was in the Holding Room, sat in the car and drove off around the circuit steadily. Went out to the road and got scolded a few times by the instructor.

1. Speed too slow while turning

2. Can't judge the speed of other car to turn out while at the stop line

3. Stopping too far away from stop line

Can't remember all, but I know he keep scolding me.

Went back to the school and was given my result, he didn't use the tablet but assessed me on a paper, so I was sitting there looking at those box he crossed out (those are deduction of points actually).

From 10, he added more while looking through, it went up to 14, he look through again then he cancelled one tick away...

After the 5 minute which felt like 50minutes, I lost count of my total points. He flipped to the last page and calculated the total points I got.

I PASSED!!!!

P.S: I sort of just pass because the passing criteria is, if you accumulated more than 20 points or had an immediate failure, you fail..

Going at 10km/hr does help, a lot.

I no longer needs this anymore, because...

I'M A CERTIFIED (PROBATIONARY) DRIVER NOW~

So for now, I can drive with this piece of paper while waiting for my card to be mailed to me. How cool is that!? :D

And because today is my BIG day, my special one came to surprise me at the driving centre and we headed out to Braddell's Botak Jones to celebrate.

This was created out of mustard and chili by yours truly.

A letter given by my special one. :)

(name edited away to protect his identity. cause this is the internet you see.)

Well, actually today was also my birthday, but it seems like most of my friends had overlooked it. How realistic this world is? I didn't post it up in my Facebook, so no one gets any alert that my birthday is approaching, that is why they don't even know about it.

The worst thing was, those friends who I was closest with for years, whose birthday I was so anxious about, whose present I was so concern about, turn out to have clean forgotten mine.

I am utterly disappointed. This is what I get back after playing my part so hard as a friend.

I envy people who have friends who would plan a surprise for them during their birthday, I always actively involve myself in all these celebrations in hope that I could get one during my birthday as well, but all hope was in vain.

I was even commented "You are so greedy! Where got people go around asking people for present one!?", "Don't expect anything from me, greedy girl." a few years back when I was just teasing friends (of which, one is my godbrother) that my birthday is approaching.

Those comments got into me and it hurt me so much. Thus, I do not put in much hopes of receiving anything from anyone anymore. Not even wanting to remind anyone about my birthday because I do not want to get hurt anymore.

Whilst majority of the people around me forgotten my birthday, I appreciate those little thoughts from people who messaged or Facebook-ed their wishes to me.

ANYWAY!

If you read this post and went "OH! I FORGOT! Shit, I want to make it up to her...", "Whoa, I don't even know it was your birthday!" or "Huh!? That day meh?! Shit, mixed up already."

I would like to tell you, don't bother telling me "Happy Belated Birthday" because what is over, is already over.

I didn't choose to tell anyone about this 'special' day because other than my loved ones, no one would bother. Neither do I want to make anyone feel stressful by thinking "Kamy's birthday is coming, if I forgot or didn't wish her, like very paiseh." I really don't want that.

good bye
