My alarm rang at approximately 6.45 AM, first thing that struck my mind: “ What the heck… What is my alarm ringing? “ Obviously my mind was still abashed, at sixes and sevens just because it wasn’t a customary for me to be awake such early. Then, I snooze back until I could merely hear dad’s yelling asking to me prepare for driving test. “ Oh Shyt! Driving test today!!!!!!!!!!! DIE.” Adrenaline rush and non stopping heart pumping occurred simultaneously – I was agitated.
I met Priscilla, James, Valerie and Siaw Fen there. Out of the blue, I suddenly realised I only remembered to bring my wallet, but left my I.C and L License in my room. “ Double Shyt!!!!!! “ Luckily dad managed to pass it to me in time. The atmosphere was intense, everyone practically having similar feelings being nervous, anxious and clutched. We still managed to remind each other to check the seats, side mirror, gear etc.
When I flip to the next page to see what route I get, I was dumbfounded!!! “ Oh Shyt!!!!! Route B!!! Hell !!!!! “ Honestly I wasn’t really familiar with the routes and I am cognizant that my sense of direction is pathetically bad at times. Feeling a little worried, I proceeded to the slope just after Valerie. Slope just gives me nightmares, I am traumatized at it by just imagining myself being unable to control the clutch causing the car to roll backwards and eventually fail. My first attempt succeeded but imperfect since the wheel overshot the yellow line by a few millimetres, I decided to give a second shot. It stayed stationary at the exact position I wanted, JPJ officer gave a thumbs up. Releasing the handbrake slowly with my sweaty hands, sigh it went over.
Then, a few of us walked to do side parking and 3 point turning. I tend to remind myself to release the clutch at a slower rate or else it won’t be in the proper position. The vehicle managed to stay in the correct position, hands up and the JPJ officer gave a smile. “ Sigh… It’s almost over.. 3 point turning to go. “ I was astonished that the ones before me failed 3 point turning, typically that was the least to worry but after witnessing candidates failing 3 point turning because their wheel actually ran over the white line, the sensation of distress emerged. Completed 3 point turning with seconds and the JPJ officer exclaimed “ PASS!!! “ Road test to go.
My road test wasn’t that successful, it was afternoon and JPJ officers were staring to get hungry already, stimulating their brains making them feeling tetchy. I entered the vehicle and began checking everything. Seats, side mirrors, fasten my seat belt and then he scolded “ Ooi budak ! Kenapa lambat sangat!! “ I ignored and continued in checking everything and finally got my engine started and move on. I approached several road openings and stopped to make sure the road was clear. There he goes again “ Ooi! Kenapa pandai-pandai berhenti!!! “ I explained to him that I need to make sure the road was clear, feeling odd on the way he got pissed of easily just because I’m following the law. At one point, I was suppose to go straight since I’m given route B meaning there wasn’t any ‘U’ turns ahead, but then the JPJ officer swung my steering and screamed “ Belok situ la, dah la tak letak signal!!! Potong markah! “ He changed my route from B to C without even mentioning it earlier, how could I possibly know that I’m suppose to make a ‘U’ turn ahead unless I have psychic powers. I drive at a speed rate between 40km/h and 50km/h, and again [ yes again ] he yelled at me “ Awak pandai memandu atau tidak??!!! Lambat sangat la!!! Pandu sampai 70 la.. Aduh~ “ Feeling annoyed, I fulfilled his obey and speed up to 60km/h. Then, he asked me to overtake the few candidates in front of me. Myself, feeling shaky and unsure whether to overtake or not since cars where zooming here and there, replied “ Tapi banyak sangat kereta macam mana mau overtake. “ That seriously got his nerves and he swung my steering to the left, and told me he cut my marks for weak steering control! “ WTF MAN!!! YOU SWUNG MY STEERING YET CLAIMING THAT I’M NOT CAPABLE TO CONTROL THE DARN STEERING!!!! “ I began to curse him monotonously despite the fact it’s the month of Lent. Overall, the road test was a disaster but luckily I passed.
PS: That JPJ Officer meant to be fed with elephant poop or even tortured to regurgitate his own piece of shit after all the crap and absurd mocking! I really pity him for one thing, he was on the phone with some officer, obviously struggling very hard to speak proper English but end up with a whole broken gibberish English which almost made me to burst out of laughter. I’m not showing any insubordination, but that JPJ officer needs some serious spanking and shit feeding.
The neighbourhood was pitched black for an hour or so, maybe slightly illuminated by candle lights. I didn’t bother to switch off the lights of my house, so most probably my place appears to be the brightest around town. Mum called from Grand Continental and told me that the hotel was in darkness as well, given candles maybe. Before the world shove accusing fingers towards my unsupportive actions, allow me to give a reasonable answer to that. I actually showed my support to Earth Hour yesterday, why? Due to the intolerable conditions whereby the electricity broke down putting me in grave torment for 12 hours or so. Instead of switching off my lights for an hour, I exceed the limit. See how much I care for Mother Earth? [ Vainny says I’m kiasu ]
