I passed my Class 3!!!

Though it's been 3 days passed, it's still not too late to share the good news. In fact, it's GREAT news for me & also the family. After spending almost $3K and a lot of time sacrifice to attend the Sat, Sun morning & night lessons, at last I am now a Class 3 driving license holder! Hip Hip Hooray!

Our holiday trip to Desaru had to be cut short coz hubby & Ali didn't get to take long leave & I had to attend my driving lessons that was scheduled 3 consecutive days before my test date. On the test date itself, asked Abah to send me. Nak make the story longer, I left my receipt at home & Abah had to drive all the way back to Pasir Ris for me to get it. (It was a longer story anyway)

The warm-up test was ok. I wasn't too nervous coz the CDC instructor was so comforting. He gave me lots of advice & tips to score for the test. Then, comes to the test itself. The tester was a retiree, plump Chinese man. Not too fierce-looking but not too-friendly as well. Anyway, everything went quite well except some minor mistakes that I made - moving off with wrong gear twice, veer from course when coming into the s-course & waited to long to look at blindspot. So all in all, just 10 demerit points! I was so elated after he told me "You passed." Macam nak lompat-lompat kat situ jugak!

First person I told was of course hubby & Ayah. Then comes the rest of the family members. Hikam couldn't believe it that I got lesser points than him. Then, hubby fetch me (belom berani nak drive coz P plate takde) & went for breakfast kat St 11. That afternoon, just laze around at home & went to Ibu J's place at night. We heard the news Kak Ida masuk Eastshore hospital.

Next morning, after having breakfast at Changi Village, I drove our Verna for thevery first time. Mula-mula tu susah jugak nak get use to it but lama-lama ok jugak. We ventured to the Changi chalets & bungalows & the kelong. After that tried my vertical & parallel parking at the Changi beach carpak. Along the long stretch of Changi road, there was a road-block!!! My heart pumps so hard & so fast that I think I could hear it. Dahlah drive takde P plate, Irfan tengah pangku Fikri kat depan, tak pakai seat belt lagi! I guess my lucky stars were with me that day, the police officer tengok ada budak agaknya, terus dia suruh continue je. Phew!!! That was so close!

Petangnya, we went to visit Kak Ida & at night, I belanja satay & mee while my bro & sis-il belanja pizza to celebrate Father's Day. I felt quite sad not having to celebrate with my own dad (susah kalau ada 2 famili ni) tapi nanti takut bila I bersuara kat hubby, dia bising pulak. So, oklah sacrifice again. That night, Fikri tidur dengan Nek Wan & Tok Ayah dia. Me & hubby had a time of our own together *wink*

Next day, I drove to school for my work review session with Mr Tan. Luckily this time wasn't as bad as the last one. Drove back to rumah Ayah. Nasib tak baik kene saman coz not enough parking coupons. Takpelah, at least I tried driving alone without anyone guiding me.

As for today, I'm looking forward to meet my Sis. It's been ages since we last met, so I'm sure we have lots to share. Plan to meet her at 3pm later. So for now, chao!
