Haiz. Very disappointed with myself. My cumulative gpa only increased by 0.03, which adds up to 3.37 only. WTH. Though there's an improvement in my semester gpa but its still not enough to pull up to 3.5 ..i'm getting desperate..will i get into University? some say 3.2 is enough..still its better to be safe than sorry.

Too tired yesterday to blog abt this historic moment of my life. haha this time is good news!
*I'VE PASSED!*
Finally, i've graduated from Bukit Batok Driving Centre. No more online booking for lessons, no more free shuttle bus ride there and best of all, i dun have to stretch out my hand and ask dad for money to pay for the next tp and more driving lessons!
Speaking of tp, i made many mistakes and nearly cost my license.
Mistake no.1:
After doing my vertical parking, i was told to proceed with a left turn. I didn't know why even though i heard a LEFT turn, i made a right turn instead.
Tester: just now i ask you to make a left turn right? why u turn right? nvm, proceed.
Me: ooh..*quickly u-turn*
Tester: no, proceed...continue your right turn..you should listen properly and pay attention.
Me: =x
Mistake no.2:
A Huge Mistake. I nv had this before during lesson..and i cant believed this happened...
I striked kerb during the crank course due to early turning.
uh-oh..
*i looked at the tester at the corner of my left eye*
Tester: strike kerb.
*noted down my mistake in the test paper*
ARGH!!
tts a huge deduction of 10marks! Thankfully, i didn't panick and continued to drive calmly. i even told myself that i still have 8marks to deduct so there's still chance to pass. lol..i duno why i was so optimistic tt day..
Mistake no.3:
Tester: turn right and proceed out of the circuit.
*signal right..check blind spot..accelerate and changed to right lane*
To my horror, immediately after i changed to right lane.. this stupid car in front of me decided to change to another lane and braked..causing its booth to block my way. I've no choice but to brake hard.
Tester: you shouldn't do that..change lane abruptly.
*note down my mistake and deduct 4marks*
oh god..now i have deduct at least 14marks before i move out of the circuit. liddat how to pass?!
thankfully, nothing much happened on the road.
On my way up to the briefing room, i was preparing to top up money and book more lessons later..but before that i have to bear with the briefing first. hate it!
Anyway, the briefing is more like a nagging session. The tester kept nagging and nagging..ask me why i strike kerb..kept telling me sometimes i forget to check blind-spot, brake too late...etc etc...
I duno why at that moment, i remained very patient and polite..answering his questions nicely.
In the end, he gave me a pass...HAHA! a deduction of 18points!
I'm happy already. Its still a pass even if its a deduction 2 points or 18 points.
oh well, though i got my license, i didn't have any urge to drive..frankly speaking, i juz dislike driving.
