Back to STUDIES for now!

When I didnt blog on Friday after my driving test, clever u must have guessed that I failed. Its just like this, when we have good news we'll wanna tell the whole world, but if its bad news we tend to keep it to ourselves, or at least we will keep it with us for sometime before we slowly break the news. For my case, I really took quite abit of time to accept the fact that I failed.

I had 1 immediate failure, and thats because I took more than 3 minutes to complete my reverse parking. I did not expect that the time factor would fail me. Yes, I was indeed very lousy when it comes to parking, and during the test all I did was to try my best not to hit any poles, because knocking any poles down was immediate failure too. So after much struggle and when my car was safely in the parking slot with the 4 poles still upright, I was so happy. I told myself, got chance to pass. Then the tester came back into the car after I completed my parking and told me I took more than 3 minutes to park. I still happily replied a ok and we carried on with the rest of the test.

When we were out at the road, everything went very smoothly. By the way, I've got a really nice tester. He kept giving me advices along the way, and tell me I can actually do this instead of that, and he only tick the demerit point boxes when we were back in the room. Before he tick every box, he will explain to me the mistakes I made, and its only after I said ok that he tick the boxes. I think he's too nice to the extend that I get the wrong impression that he'll pass me. So it was really disappointing when I saw the paper and realised that I had 1 immediate failure! Right now I've more or less recovered from the trauma. But whenever I think back there are still regrets, I should have parked faster!

OK, in any case, I should put my failure aside for now and concentrate on my studies. Exams starting soon, my first paper is on 17th Nov, which is only 1 month from now. I've got alot of school work to catch up!
