I got it!

Yahoo!

Remember when I wrote about I failed on my driving test? And I also wrote that I didn't know when I would repeat it, right?

But yeah, I repeated it and I passed with flying colours! I'm so thankful.

How I got to repeat my driving test earlier than I expected?

When I failed at the first time, I really didn't want to think about it anymore. But yeah, I felt so down and frusted. Then I decided to try to get the driving test's date before I go to my new place soon. So, the clerk at the driving school told me that 23th May was fully booked. Then, my teacher told me to go to the JPJ. I went there with my test card, my offer letter and a letter that my dad helped to write. I was accompanied by my father and my nephew, Ihsan. Ihsan was a good boy there.

I thought it was hard. But no, it was super easy. I just went there and waited for few minutes and met the Penolong Pengarah Bahagian Pengujian (I think so lah). I was suprised to know that that man is so friendly and so nice. Because I thought he must be a fierce person. LOL!

What I did was I told him that I failed. How I failed and so on. He got me a copy of my Borang Penilaian since I didn't brought it. And I just need to listen to his advises. That's all! He signed on my letter and asked me to go back to the driving school and submit this paper, the test card to them. It was so easy! I'm thankful. =)

Practice makes perfect!

Before my second driving test, I needed to practise another two hours. But not with my teacher. I practised with the IM's teacher. That teacher said my driving skill improved compared to the last time I drove with him beside. I felt confidence. I believed I would pass this time. Even tough sometimes, I just couldn't resist my nervousity.

The 2nd driving test

On 23th May, my friend accompanied me from 12 p.m to 3.30 p.m. I went to the driving school at 12 p.m. and gave my license and myKad to the JPJ officer whose on duty that day. Oh, it took an hour to wait and give these two things. After that, my friend and I had sirap bandung since it was very hot day. Actually, I was having a light fever that day and yesterday too. It wasn't good for me to drink ice. But whatever!

Then, my friend went to somewhere else in the IM and I went to the 'Pondok Kereta'. I waited for about 40 minutes before my name was called. Once my name is called, it was very nervous time and I turned off my phone (During the first time test, I didn't turn off my phone. My brother-in-law called a few times and the phone was vibrating in my pocket). I walked to the car. The first I did was turn off the engine. But yeah I got scolded by JPJ for turning off the engine. Whatever!

So, the test began. I was so careful. Even at the u-turn I waited for more than 5 minutes to make sure the road is clear. Of course lah, kereta kat belakang-belakang tak leh nak sabar. Ada yang hon, macam orang tak reti baca 'Pemandu sedang diuji'. Nasib baiklah saya tak gelabah bila kena hon. JPJ tu pun asyik tengok-tengok belakang.

Asal saya lulus sudahlah. Ada part yang saya paling tak suka ialah lori mengundur betul-betul depan pintu pagar IM. But I did it well because it was actually the same situation on the day before when I was practising. Again, I'm so thankful.

At the end, let see the result!

My hand-writing was bad because my hand was shaking that time. LOL!

I got 19/20 which is so cool! Satu sahaja JPJ tu pangkah. 20. Menggunakan gear yang sesuai mengikut kelajuan. JPJ tu pun tulis kat bawah 'Lambat menukar gear'. I always did that mistake...

Now, I'm so in love with the orange-coloured card in my wallet (walaupun kad itu hanya hiasan semata-mata buat masa ini). Especially because my picture looked good compared to my L license.

That's all.
Wassalam!

Counting.

Assalamualaikum.

So, my last post was on 4th May. And today is 21st May. On 30th May, I will begin my brand new life which will be different from my life now.

Yeah, I have so many things to do, and so little time left. Seriously, I'm not ready to face the new life. The life where I have to share room and toilet with others. Life where I have to buy my own breakfast, lunch and dinner. No one will feed me anymore. No one will help me doing my laundry and I have to do it myself. All by myself.

I never live in a hostel, so I don't know what to expect.

Most of my friends will start their new life on 23th May, others just like me and the teachers-to-be will start their new life on 20th June. Now is such a boring moment. Waiting for the day come. Waiting to settle everything down.

Hopefully life will be better there.

Mengeluh lagi.

Assalamualaikum.

So, on my previous previous post, I mentioned about my driving test. And I FAILED. I was so stress and frusted. Because I did a very silly mistake that I really regreted. But who's care. Even if I already got my driving license I still can't drive on my own since I don't own a car and my father will never allow me to do so.

Even tough my sister was so brave to drive on her own to some place just a few days after she got her driving license. Most of my sibling passed the driving test with one trial only. But yeah, I'm not one of them.

So, if you asked me when will I repeat my driving test, I will answer 'I don't know!'. The clerk said to me that I need to check the new date for driving test on May 9th. I told my teacher that I failed and he said he will check the new date for me.

But I called my friend who failed on her driving test too and asked her when she will repeat the test. She told me that she didn't want to think about it yet. So I called my other friend who also failed on driving test, she said the earliest date she got is in June. So, I think I will also get the date in June. It is the most impossible thing to get tested in June since I'm going to college soon.

The conclusion is I will not getting my license in this month. I have to postpone the driving test maybe until summer holiday next year. Sighed.

Oh that's not great! But every cloud has a silver lining. I believe Allah has some other plan for me. Maybe I just have to forget about this about a meanwhile and focus on my study soon.

That's all.
Wassalam.

The moral of the story : Don't make silly mistake and remember the right technique. Jangan main hentam je, Arina!
