so while i was happily at my com after i typed the previous entry, watching 老友狗狗, trying to open yoga's album (it is still unopened as i type this) and having my beehoon lunch at 11:56am , it suddenly dawned on me to check bbdc's website to confirm the time for my last driving lesson cos yesterday when i checked my organizer on my phone, the time stated was 2:20pm, which is impossible cos bbdc's timings are like 12:20, 2:10, 4pm. i only take these three slots. so i logged in.
please imagine my shock when i clicked 'booking statement' and saw: 6 Jan 2010 Wednesday 12:20 - 2pm.
I FREAKED OUT OF COURSE and jumped out, changed and went without showering. disgusting but true. booked a cab which sped (i didnt ask him to) all the way to bbdc. cost me $12.50. but i got there like 3min late, which is fantastic considering bbdc is like far side of the world.
everything else that followed however was just a nightmare. shi fu (no this is not the nightmarish part) was terribly disheartened by my poor performance in the circuit. i was striking kerbs turning too quickly driving too fast. s-course was atrocious. i was and am awfully discouraged.
seriously i strongly believe i might still be able to drive decently tomorrow (even if i dont pass) because the past three lessons were genuinely fine. but i dont know about s-course.
SIGH.
trust me i hate being this unprepared. but EITHER WAY i have wasted the $100+ (because theres no refund if you cancel your test) so i might as well just go for it. i just feel awfully bad for my instructors cos they really put a lot of effort into teaching me but im just not there yet.
i have just booked a lesson with hau kw (but it'll probably be someone else) for 1st march. that will be the day i go down to renew my PDL and my first lesson before my next test, whenever that may be. he will have to teach me parallel parking without the poles. if i renew my PDL on first march i will have till sept to pass the stupid test, but i intend to pass by Rafa's birthday (3 june) because thats when the bbdc account expires - I AM NOT PAYING BBDC ANY MORE MONEY.
