big news everyone: as of yesterday i have officially become a licensed driver!

when i was thinking about this post, the first phrase i thought of was license to kill. but now that i'm remembering how if i kill anybody or even come close to it, i'll be fined plus my license will be revoked, that phrase suddenly isn't so funny anymore. it has not been easy getting this damn license and God knows i can't pass the test twice.

the reason i say that is of course not because of my lack of skill, but because i was blessed with almost perfect conditions yesterday. i had like one of the most lax testers in the history of the universe, who was so chin-chye about things that he nearly made me parallel park twice. then i had to tell him which route he was supposed to test me on, which happened to be a bad one because it involved the tiny ubi road 4 which is always congested with parked vehicles along one lane. but this tester apparently was in no mood for jams and delays, so he practically gave me straight roads all the way. plus, when i had to overtake the roads were almost completely clear! i was shocked when he asked me to turn back into the circuit so fast, because he completely missed testing me on U-turns and emergency breaks. i thought maybe i had driven onto a bus lane or something and he was too mean to tell me to my face. then he was like 'overall you were okay' and started calculating my demerit points and then when he ticked the 'passed' box i was like shocked beyond belief. i think i went like 'thank you SOOO MUCH!' and nearly had a bimbo moment but whateverrr, i PASSED! :D

anyway, the sad part is that my parents, just like my driving instructor and boyfriend, have determined that i am Not To Be Trusted with the car. so now i only get to drive around the estate and maybe short trips to nearby places. i definitely should not have told my mom how i space out after 30 minutes of driving. anyway i suppose it's just as well cos the only thing i get to drive is an MPV which is hard to park, and i also haven't really driven an auto car legally before. but considering how i have this tendency of stalling manual cars, i think having no clutch is obviously a good thing. at least i know how to operate a manual car though, which will come in handy when i get my red ferrari.

in other news, i need to train up! now that i have a Goal i will need to have discipline to match or face public humiliation. i'm thinking of going for the terry fox run soon since it's at sentosa where the scenery is nice! anyone interested? :)
