today's truly a blessed day for me. never had i felt SO damn lucky before because i passed my driving test today! not because i was exceptionally good, but because i've got a rather easy test route and the traffic condition at both circuit and road was UBER good. like a few cars only...and most imptly, i had a VERY lenient tester. he was like so fatherly...guess he was the only kind tester around 'cause the rest of the testers are chinese and they looked damn stern and rigid. i guess i wld have flunked long ago if i've gotten the chinese testers.
so i have forgotten to put on my safety belt because i was so engrossed in pretending to adjust my rear mirror...such that i've gone through half of the ciruit without the belt till the tester's reminder. and the tester was kind enough to remind me on things like 'move off after that car move' or 'dont turn 1st' or 'signal and keep left' etc. see, where to find such a good tester! and he cld easily fail me because i've kinda exceeded the stopline by abit. PLUS, i forgot to check my blindspot during merging lane and there was actually a car on my right.
and i really went all the way out to pass on my 1st attempt..i did superstitious things like throwing in a gold coin under the mat and wearing a mini skirt based on the hearsays. haha! i mean seriously, it was quite unbelievable that i actually passed on my first attempt and i believe many pple agree to that too! (pple like miss ah jin esp, yor, lynn, meows and including myself!). and that's only 3 words that can describe my feelings now, overwhelmingly relieved+happy. and it's really heartening to receive so many well-wishes and good luck msgs from so many pple before my test. :)
anyway, had a ktv session with pei today...it's been so long since we went ktv....and it was very SHIOK. sang my lungs out today. it was followed by a farewell dinner with the girls. i'm going to miss all the people here in singapore (esp my girls and family and bed and laptop) :( till then, girls!
