Last nite, it was the 1st time i drove my dad's car. Boy was i anxious! It was a black hyundai trajet(MPV). Its a 1.8 tonne monster. There are a couple of differences btw a civic which i drove at the drivin centre and this baby elephant. 1) Its taller which means tat handling will be worse. 2) Its longer and wider which means tat a wider turning circle and more sweat during parkin. 3)The driver's seat is taller which makes e drivin experience different. And 4) Its heavy, harder steering and braking is required which is really a workout! So we left home at 7pm and went to the nearby Shell petrol kiosk for the trangle plate and then off we go, with me at the driver's seat. It was a gd and enriching experience. We drove all the way to IMM(frm toa payoh to jurong, hell of a long journey). And then up to the 5th storey of the IMM carpark. We did a head first vertical parkin at the top floor cos all other floors are occupied and went for a walk at IMM. After an hour walk, we head back to the car and drove all the way to tuas. 100kph seems nth when travellin on the long empty expressways. Then we head to Toa Payoh Lor 1 to practice vertical parkin in the dark!! Boy was it hard, I cant even see the markings on the ground!! but anyway after 3 practices we headed straight home and i did my final parkin. Today i drove out again and it was all fine. And when i reach home, i did my parkin again and guess wat, i made it perfect at one shot. Boy was I proud..haha..Truely indeed, cars are my life.... =)

Oh manz..my lifelong dream has finally come true..On the 19th of Nov 2004, my life has changed..I've got a Driving License!! The tester was really horrible..When i made a mistake of stopping at the give way line, he shouted at me. At tat point of time, i knew tat i need to saved up to retake it. But i remained calm and carried on with the test, makin quite a few silly mistakes along the way like not checkin rear mirror, blindspots and not cancellin signal. after 1/2 hour, hell was over. We went up to the briefing rm. He was talkin in a loud pitch and i crossed my fingers as he pointed out my mistakes. Seein the points shooting up, my heart skip a beat. But to my surprise, it stopped at 16 pts. I PASSED!!! haha..Before i can thank e tester he was already out of the rm. AHH watever la. Who cares..I Passed!! haha..then i went to register but i didnt bring a photo of myself so i went down to take one. ANd then they also needed $50. I thought was $15!! So my dad had to come down and pay for me. After i watched the video on road safety my temp license was ready. Wow am i happy....

[[ Dont ].[ Quit ]]
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you can never tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit...
[[ Just ].[ a ].[ shoRt ].[ inTro ].[ =) ]]
Jus a simple guy looking forward to a simple and happy life
