Laughing Stock.

Imagine this scene...

You've waited practically the whole morning just to get your name called. Close to 11, your name was called. Finally. While waiting in line to get into the car, some fella instructed his students to jump the queue. His reason was that the queue goes in a different direction as to what you have been following. Hence, his students should go first. You and 2 other exam takers who have been waiting patiently tried to explain that you were doing exactly how others queued up. But the fella insisted that he was right bla bla bla...
Ok, so you decided to forget it and forgive the guy anyway.


That wasn't the main part of the story. Please continue with the imagination.

After an eternity 15 minutes or so, you got to do the test. You managed to drive up and down the bukit albeit a bit jerkishly. Then you proceeded to the side parking test, which you nailed. As you drive into the three-point-turn area, you thought to yourself so far so good. Next, you reversed the car and began to ease out of the area. Then, the evitable happened...You heard a sickening clang of metal on cement. Too late. You realised that it was game over. You've hit the front pole while doing a three-point-turn.

Yes, that was me. I know you're laughing. Go ahead. [insert peals of laughter/loud guffaws]

The instructor already laughed at me saying that only 70/80 year old grannies fail while doing a three-point-turn. And i'm his first student who failed that part (there's a first for everything, yes? XD). I know it's crazy to have failed at the easiest part. Yeah, i reversed too little, hence the banging of the pole while exiting. Was pretty disappointed at first but hey, not all things happen according to your wishes ma...Nevertheless, i excited with a clang! People notice! XD

On a brighter side, i passed everything else including the jalan raya (i got a good, cheery tester for the jalan raya like i hoped for. THANK YOU for intervening!). XD Only thing i have to do now is to renew my L license and redo the 3 things again. Bukit, parking and three-point-turn. So, i'm not incapable of driving...just slightly silly? Hhaha.

Heh. My dad was in shock. Then he yelled..saying that i should have prayed to the gods before going in the morning like he said to. -.-' Some other people just opted for the normal laughing. I can almost visualize my sister/brother in law/mum/three of them laughing at me. I hope i don't have nightmares of three-point-turns. Hahaha.

Oh well, all in a day's work! XD
