YES I'M UNIQUE.
im like the only person i know in my circle of friends to fail auto driving test 1st try. that feeling is worse than failing any other tests. it's like, high hopes from everyone, instructor even higher hopes, mum even HIGHER hopes cuz the pple around her, the sons passed at 1st try MANUAL. i still can't accept this failure. seriously i'm not taking it well. dun talk to me about driving test or i'll kick your ass.
that traumatic feeling, having so much confidence, and becuz of one tiny mishap it screwed up my whole test. man i really hate kerbs now. and the worse thing is bring practical, my mum feels that i really suck cuz i couldnt pass at first time when her friends' sons and daughters did.
even my friends around me also are as lucky. even though stats showed that only 48% auto driving candidates pass at first attempt, the fact is that pple around me pass at their first try.
am i really that lousy?
if i were i would be ok to accept the fact that i failed. but i swear im not. not like im trying to be ya ya, but i mean when you control the car you obviously know whether you cmi or not.
haix. maybe im over reacting cuz there are pple also who don't pass at first attempt in singapore, but really i dunno how to explain the pressure im facing.
BUT anyways, i was quite consoled cuz my dad brought me out for supper at night. turns out that my dad, the one im always quarrelling with, became the light at the end of my nightmare. it was really sweet to bring me out to relax. he told me he did not believe pple could easily get first attempt pass in any driving test, becuz he knew the harshness of the tester. and he felt that pple should not be judged by how many attempts they take to pass. he was even glad i did not knock someone down while taking the test. ha!
no matter what im quite surprised that he was the one that came to my rescue during my nightmare and depression. after all he's a driver himself, im glad he could feel for me and nt blame me for the money i wasted learning driving.
sadly, tmr i will be leaving home for roughly 1 month, with only a few times which i can come home. i'll miss home, and im sadder cuz i hate to leave at this point of time when my mum's still sore abt my failure and when my dad just touched my heart. hahas. a bit ): but yeah, for hall 15. and it's my choice to take up that post. (see pple go overseas, damn envious!)
i'm leaving the mess behind, but bringing an unsolved burden with me.
be DIFFERENT.
