A disappointing day indeed...
(Monday, June 30, 2008/11:31 PM)
Failed my driving test for the first time... Tho' I know it'll be common to fail for the first time, I'm still rather disappointed cos' looking back at some dumb mistakes, I could have passed if I didn't commit them. I was a bundle of nerves and my stomach hurt like hell probably due to the undue stress I had which affected my stomach ailment. Nevertheless, I was quite stable for my warm-up drive and had confidence to pass.
I guess I got too nervous during the actual test and the positioning for my vertical parking and directional change was slightly off and required me to do correction, which gave me some pts. I even rolled back on the slope but I thought I hit the brakes fast, but I still got some pts. On the road, there's a ton of darn roadworks but I was well-prepared for it.
But the fatal error came when I thought it was okay to keep to the center lane since the roadworks was on the left, and after passing the roadworks, he required me to turn right after the next traffic light so I assumed it's alright to stay on the center lane. He marked me for road-hogging. That's freaking 6 pts. That's juz so great.
Oh well, it's not like I got a car waiting for me to drive even if I did pass, so I kept this mentality with me in order not to feel that disappointed. I'm juz pissed at how good they are at making money, forcing me to take 2 revision lessons before I'm allowed to apply for my next test. Kinda embarrassed cos' of how all my friends are expecting me to pass. Perhaps that's another aspect of the stress I had, trying too hard to fulfil their expectations.
Anyhow, I've booked my next test date and I'll be praying for success more fervently this time round. Despite the circumstances in life, God is good, all the time! Gotta move on and look forward in life! Sorry for the slight negativity... I shall move on to happier posts and continue walking down my memory lane of my recent trip to Japan. =)
