I FRIGGIN PASSED!

I don't mean to be rude, but i'm so proud at myself right now, right here, this moment, in this time and day and month of year where the skies are blue and the wind are always passing and the sun never seem so yellow and birds chirping.. yeah yeah yeah.

So today, you know what it is, it's my JPJ test, of course like most people i was awkwardly nervous, so the day started with me waking up, i thought that it had already passed 6 or something cause the tutor was suppose to pick me up at 7.30am, but the clock was only showing 5.45am, so i slept back, that morning i was feeling so cold, not that it help me cause i was already nervous, nervous makes me cold, i wonder if i could survive in the hottest heat and just be nervous, i wonder if that would work, you know making my body cold, shivering.

After waiting, he finally pick me, but there was a guest, i never had a guest before, it's always me and the tutor, so it's really different, and i usually drive the the driving place, but this time i didn't which is good i guess, cause i don't really like driving, but i kinda have to, so i sat at the back, and the guest sat in the front, she was also taking the JPJ test like me, we didn't talk a lot, she did talk to me at first, but she was speaking chinese so i didn't really understand, then the tutor told her that i couldn't speak chinese, then she stopped, and then we arrive at that place and she was the first to test drive and she did really well, although it's a bit slow, i really shouldn't critic, i mean i'm not so great, and she was just being careful, and she makes a lot of funny faces when she was trying to park the car, she went for 2 rounds before it's my turn.

After 2 rounds, it was my turn, and i feel more comfortable this time than the other times that i did, then it was the hill part, i've always had trouble, not that i fall all the way, but after i release the hand break, i always drop a little bit before i go forward, but then she gave me probably the best advice that my tutor didn't mention, he probably did, but i probably didn't hear it, anyway the advice was at the middle of the hill, when you're already hand-breaking, and after you balanced the car, rev the gas till the meter hit more than 3, surprisingly at the second round, it went smoothly, it didn't dropped, it just went through, that was awesome, i should've thanked her, but, i don't know, i'm just awkward, but after 2 rounds then finally it was time to test.

Basically, it's just taking number and wait for the JPJ, i guess the JPJ were okay, they got me waiting anxiously, i was shaking from top to bottom, i can't calm myself, of course that was only in my head, seriously i felt cold when i'm nervous.

Then the test began, they started off with the second part which is the hill, parking, and that 3 movement thing. The hill was okay, the parking was surprisingly okay, and the 3 movement was also okay, of course at that time i didn't know, in my head was FAIL! FAIL! FAIL!, but then they asked us to go to the hut where the JPJ are marking our score, surprisingly, i passed, i was so happy at that moment, i didn't know that i could do it, but i am freakishly happy when that guy told me that i passed, sadly it wasn't the end for me cause part 3 is coming next.

Part 3 is the road test, i was agitated, cause i almost fail on the pre-test, but it was a long time before it was my turn, actually not at all, it was the wait that was long, i was worried for the proton cause the signal stick is at the left side instead of the right side and i wasn't use to it, but when it was my turn, i actually had a chance to use the Viva which i never used before but it's similar to the Kancil since it's a Perodua car, i guess i'm a little bit relieved, then it started off, the Viva was surprisingly big, even though it looks like a small car from the outside, but i still prefer the Proton Saga cause it's a sedan, well it went well, except that the engine died twice, near the hill, the hill was between left and ride, it's not the test hill, but it's the road test hill, but i could handle it, just turn on the engine, but then it died again, when i was in the round-about when i had already went in and the engine died suddenly, it was shocking cause i've never made the engine died in the middle of the round-about, thankfully it was a small round-about and there's not much car.

I guess till that point nothing worries me, and i felt okay, except that i almost hit more than 60 almost couple of times, but i was just in time for my eye to catch the meter, i thought i was gonna fail because of the dead engine, but i passed, i couldn't be more happier, i've never been this happy since i, i, i.., i can't remember the last time i was that happy, i've never been happy really,
I'm just thankful to god, honestly, that i passed the test, but the score was still the same as the pre-test, it was 16/20, i don't know, maybe i still got issues, but i passed, i passed when i thought that i would fail, i passed when i thought that there's no hope for me to passed.

The lesson that i probably learn here, if you believe in yourself in the right amount, you can do it, wow i sound so uninspiring, but seriously to all those who are taking their driving license, good to you all, and have a safe ride.

Finally I CAN DRIVE!, probably the reason i learn to drive is so that i could move the car when my parents are double parking, instead of waiting for them, there were times, but now i can reverse, wee, probably the only thing i'm gonna do with a car, is to move it away so that people can go.
