Got my "P" Licence!!! ^_^

Hey everyone! Sorry for almost forgotten this memorable event that fulled of happiness and joy, and i think it's time for me to post it up here in blog, to be shared with everyone. Ah, yes about the car driving test, it was done on 31th of March 2010. Early in the morning, i woke up at 5.45am and prepared myself for everything, with an extreme nervousness overwhelming me. Well, i bet everyone would be as nervous as me, in that particular situation.

That day, we seemed to arrive at the driving school in Bangi a little bit earlier than as usual, because my car instructor told me that he would let me and 3 other candidates to practice first, before the test. And well, at 6.30am, we reached that place and started our practices. Due to the limited car available, which was only my instructor's car, i have to share the car with the other 3 candidates for our practice. Three of them were girls, so as you might have expected, i was the last one to practice. Ladies first. Everything seemed to be done well, but due to the time constraint, I had merely practiced for two rounds, while the girls had practiced for 3 to 4 rounds, not sure about that though. At 8am, we had to stop practicing as the JPJ officers seemed to arrive the driving school. Each of us was given a card, with a number and the session printed on it, by our instructor. I got Session 2, number 24. So, i guess i have to wait for quite a long time, for the Session 1 candidates to finish their tests.

While they(those 1st session candidates) were completing their test, we went to the Malay stall nearby inside the driving school and sat there for another 2 hours before we went to register our names at the driving school. After registering my name, I had to wait for another approximately an hour for the test to commence. The JPJ officer gave us a short brief, and finally, the test started, with the first person went into the car. Maybe due to over-nervousness, she failed for the parking part, luckily i was not the first person. Time do flies, and soon enough, it was my turn. Gosh, not to be rude, but the car was indeed an extremely old car, with almost no maintenance at all. Why did i say so? Well, because when i release the clutch at a certain level(as i have get used to my instructor's car), it had totally no response, and thus i had to release more on the clutch. My car engine almost stopped due to the clutch, oh well, luckily it didn't die out during the uphill part, parking part and 3-point-turn part. Oh, but when i was waiting for the parking part, my car's engine did stop and i had to start it quickly. Since there was nothing tested by that time, so it was not counted at all. *Wink wink*

Everything went on smoothly, and i had to wait for the another 2 hours, for the second part, which was the "on the road" part. Oh Gosh, this car was even worst, than the other one i had used for the previous test. My car engine stopped quite a number of times throughout the whole test, and well, the JPJ officer was quite nice though, and gave me a tick at the "Passed" column. He even taught me ways to balance the oil pedal and clutch, but frankly speaking, if i were to use my instructor's car for the test, my car engine would not stop at all! Never mind, at least i have passed my driving test, and i have got my "P" Licence a week after. For now, i have successfully became a legal driver on the streets, finally. =)

Penning Down Thoughts

I never had the habit of journaling, and it was never my thing. You see, I had a hard time polishing my language skills. Having grown up and educated in a Chinese primary school and surrounded by Chinese-speaking community at least two third of my life, I had the tendency to speak and think in Chinese. English was out of my realm of mastery. Mandarin Chinese is my mother tongue after all. Ironically I have been widely misunderstood as being a 'banana' - a Chinese who only speaks English.  It seems I do have a 'banana' look. I have been told that I speak and write English better than my Chinese sentences, which the latter often seems to be awkward and to some extent, trying too hard. Can't really blame me right? I have not been consistently writing Chinese for the past 10 years. But this is blatantly deceiving! My English proficiency has not always been acceptable. Reading back my blog posts even just 5 years ago brought myself to embarrassment. In short, I d

What Owning a Turbocharged Car has Taught me

If there is a single word that can sum up what owning a turbocharged car for the past one and a half year has taught me, it will be this — humility . I have quite a number of people telling me my car is cool, fast and what not. But instead of getting all boasted up, I can't help but to be humble at my slow car. Slow car? You wondered. For a hot hatch making well above 234 horses on the wheel with 270Nm torque, this Neo turbo boosting 1-bar (14.5 psi) is producing more than double a stock Neo CPS is making. This is certainly not a slow car by any conventional family car standard. But with this comes a hefty price, in terms of time and money. The maintenance cost is not cheap, as it is the case with any other turbocharged car. Turbocharged vehicles are more prone to component failures just simply by the fact that there are a lot more things that can fail within the complex system, as compared to a much simpler naturally aspirated mode.  I have educated myself with how a

2 Weeks Experiences in The New Class! =)

Listening to: The more I seek You - Kari Jobe It's been two weeks since I joined the new class! Most, if not all, of my new classmates are quite friendly to me, gratefully! Thank God for that! Within the first few days I've recognised and remembered most of my classmates' names! =p Okay to be frank, I was trying to memorise. That's why I could remember their names fast, and blend into their group easily? =) How? Facebook does the trick! Adding someone into your friend list in Facebook will definitely improve your ability to remember names. Well it works for me, at least! =p Okay why am I keep writing posts about PE1? I don't know, just want to share my thoughts with everyone, how I spend my time in the new class and so on. During break time I tend to hang out with a group of new friends, and a large portion of them were from Catholic High School, PJ. Haha I was supposed to go there, but I didn't. My younger sister did, anyway. Most of them tend
