the behind-the-scenes

When I learnt that its wiser to sign up for driving at the start of the year, and not at the end.

still, driving was awesome. chan hy. he told me a lot of stuff i cannot blog about (cos bbdc sucks, remember) but he also told me funny stuff like how the instructors' year-end test encompasses 70 questions (they're only allowed to get 4 wrong) and a practical test with everything under a time limit. in his own words, during the test even instructors mount kerb & hit pole because they're all trying to do it under the time limit. he also told me about the parking without pole business and apparently they havent determined the turning points and all that. but he said the instructors all know its better to do it without pole because when you go out there are no poles to help you but nobody has said anything for so long cos poles = easier.

the moment i walked into bbdc i saw ronald siew but i walked away quickly so he wouldnt have a chance to say anything to me. he had the "EH??" look on his face so im guessing he doesnt know i failed my test. ive been wishing i dont get him cos i think its superbly embarrassing that i failed my test. for some reason though it only occurred to me today that the only two instructors who remember and take note of each student's strengths and weaknesses are him & chan hy. they've damn good memory and you could say they care. so please please please please may bbdc do the right thing for once and put all three of them (+ hau kw) in the same group. if i have to choose between three of them i really wouldnt know who to choose. probably chan hy since im trying to avoid ronald siew. erps.

on a totally random note, the instructors in each group are further put into pairs to share a car each. for my group, the pairings are: ng hl & sim kh (g117), ronald siew & chan hy (g118) and alex tan & hau kw (g119). thank goodness i am under g118 most of the time. i wonder how hau kw can stand alex tan. heck, HOW CAN ANYONE STAND ALEX TAN. i would like to know if anyone has actually fixed him as their instructor.

chan hy says if i have any friends who wanna learn driving at bbdc, i am to tell you to sign up at the start of the year and not at the end cos they break up groups every year-end.
