Lets hit on the road!



Pass my traffic police test today! I can drive on the road officially without an instructor !!!
Thanks to the god (chinese OK), family, friends, school instructors and myself for making it possible. I guessed lady luck was on my side because i got a very nice tester, whos so confident in my driving! Cant go into detail about it here because it might be case-sensitive. I'll tell you personally. Almost could get a perfect score on the test sheet, but blame it on my bad - being over careful in the circuit. Whatever, ive been through another test after the korean class had ended last week. Like what edmund put it. "Its one more load off my chest".

Due to the initial objection from my dad to learn driving in amidst studying, i have made a pact with myself that i must complete the whole driving course on my own. Yes being strong-headed is cool but not advisable at times. LOL. Hence i bore all costs of the entire course, despite im still schooling. I told myself that it'll be a challenge for me. I like setting new goals when the old was reached. It required alot self-discipline & sacrifices(& money). Since im paying out of my pocket, I refrained myself from going out with friends too often and sacrified most of the time for driving lessons. (Comes to think about it, actually not exactly =p) Occasionally also feeling a little low when some friends are not being understanding about it. Probably that is why im feeling sorta light today.

Infact having a license was not a thing to gloat for long. Almost 6 out of 10 young adults these days owned a license. 8789273921748216 people had a license. Nothing to brag about. It is going to be the usuals. When time pass, I'll start fanasizing of owning a lousy-also-can car like most people do. Next, would be owning a dream car like what most guys do. Then, to the stage about worrying about the price hike for oil and related car expenses. Lastly to the stage of taxi uncles; whats the deal of owning a license? They drive to earn a living. Yeah actually during the process, i also thought so "If one day i get retrenched and couldnt get any jobs. I'll be happy to drive an old van down the road. Blasting some folk songs loud on my players and get the delivery to my destination while driving and cursing on the new drivers on the road". Ultimately... exercising caution on the road is still the most important reminder to every motorists. The last thing ever wanted is an accident which costs lives and people's future lifestyle. This is one of my another died hard principles. No passengers outside the 3rd related parties (unless best friends) within the first 6-12 months full driving experiences. Its heavy duties being responsible for other people's daughters & sons. Can never compensate them any should ... ...

Obtaining my license today may put an end to the tiring driving lessons and notes revision. It is also a beginning chapter of another journey. My engine has just get heated up to hit on the road. I dont know whats lying ahead of me. Curves, bends or straights? I'll only know when i get my wheels rolling. Lets move on.
