Lucky me

So. Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to me. It's driving test day!

Other than being a little too sleepy, I woke up to a perfect day. Got myself dressed, my hair gelled down rather than tousled up (good impressions are important when you're taking a test!), and got to the bus-stop just in time.

Before the test is a warm-up session - a short driving lesson before the test itself. Did Test Route 2. It went quite alright, yay. Weather's lovely - the sun makes everything twice as beautiful. I swear that even the road markings glowed in the golden morning sun.

And the drawing of lots for the testers and test routes. Lady luck must have been working overtime, because the tester who failed me the other time isn't taking anyone from my time slot. Yay.

And I got Test Route 2, which I had just practised a while ago. Yay again.

And the weather remained lovely. Just looking at how perfect things were going calmed me.

The tester was quite vocal about chastising me on my weaknesses - I don't tend to show that I do check the mirrors and blindspots and all. But hey I passed. YESH!



It's a long-drawn affair next, watching a compulsory safety video, taking a passport photo, applying for the license, collecting the remaining credit in the driving school account. And after a long wait to register for the license (for real!) I'm now legally qualified to drive cars of all colours. Not just dark green ones with MID plates. Now to make that fact obvious, perhaps I should look into the possibility of acquiring a pink car.

Goodbye, Singapore Safety Driving Centre!

Went to the library, went to lunch in Ang Mo Kio (loose ankle socks+walking too much = painful abrasions on the ankle) at Rasa Sayang, Blk 711 Ang Mo Kio Central.



To be honest I've never eaten such an insanely huge chicken cutlet before. Ever. I'm going to take back whatever I said or thought about the $5.80 price being steep. Taste is pretty good too, but the coleslaw is quite soggy and garlic toast being on the stale side.

Reached home, and got a phone call. A couple of weeks ago my mom coerced me to join a lucky draw to win a Sarah Brightman CD for her, and yeah, I won it. Yay again.

Was planning to do a short bike ride but just felt too exhausted. Weather didn't hold up anyway, so that intention's moot anyway.

Somehow even the coffee tastes better today.

Please don't tell me that today is all a dream or I'd be devastated!
