Had my driving practical test today, my first attempt....and i passed!!! Still can't believe it... :p U must be wondering what's the big deal...but in Singapore, due to the miniscule land space and hence road space, cars are sold at a ridiculously high price, that nevermind, and COE (cert. of entitlement) is bidded by car buyers at incredulously high prices as well....hence cost of driving here is horrendous. Some compared the expenses of owning a car to owning a wife...or 2nd wife heh.
Anyway, back to the main point: becoz of wanting to control traffic conditions and minimizing no. of cars on the road, the traffic police are really strict when conducting driving tests...so it's not very easy to pass on the first attempt. Many fail a number of times before finally passing....
The reason why i didn't take my driving when i hit 18 previously was becoz i was also taking my piano diploma at that year...so wanted to concentrate on that 1st. Then subsequently, due to being very busy in sch and laziness/procrastination, didnt take driving lessons at the same time. So now, in my free time as a piano teacher, decided to quickly take it before i get busier with more classes in July. Just nice :)
And now there's a slight dilemma. Coz beginner drivers' 1st yr of driving only have 12 demerit pts. And 2nd yr increased to 24 pts if im not wrong. So it's safer to drive in the 2nd yr...but u'd probably be rusty by then....so i guess i'd only drive once in a while...haha still haven't face the actual 'real world' out there as a motorist. sigh....
Okie tmr would go see my altered evening gown, hope it turns out well, and at night starts my EE (engagement encounter) camp from Friday till Sun evening. It's a compulsory camp for couples who wanna get married in churches in Singapore. Long time no camping...hope ppl are nice and the program is good. Hence, will be missing my good times spent here and reading your blogs and comments :) Cya all~ muaks hehe
