These are some of the tips which would help you pass your driving.It would definitely help you pass your driving test if you are 1.6metres -1.7metres tall . It depends on your sighting point.

Driving in Ubi

Picking up a skill in driving is never an easy journey for me . I decided to write this blog post to share with the current students who are taking driving manual /auto car some advices and skills . I think this is really important , and I wish to impart this skill to those who are keen to learn.

Knowledge should be widely shared to the fellow students . I have so many experiences I want to pour up to drivers out there taking provisional driving .






1) Basic theory test and Final theory test


Enroll in the school because there is a total of 10 assessment paper to do . In one assessment paper consists of 50 questions . If you practice enough , you can pass !! Practice on assessment MCQ paper is the key to pass .There would be usually some understanding and memory work . I urge you to use the school practice paper ,as it would be more accurate in their answer on the actual test . I passed it swifty on first attempt . Personally , I feel that basic is harder than final , because they test more memory skill . Studying on the highway code book is important , however one should not put priority on it.It should be used as a guideline instead. The focus needs to be in the MCQ trial mock test provided by school .  Sign up the test, you won't regret it.




2) Practical lessons /test


I am not shy to post on my practical test results and how much immediate failure and  demerit points I want to share with everyone my journey I went through


My first practical test results


Shown as picture :

My heart was really apprehensive , as my mind focus on achieving the driving Licence . I hold too high expectations on this test . My driving test is  in Kampong Ubi .Kampong Ubi area would be harder , as there is more heavy vehicles around the vicnity due to factory. I remember my driving instructor said if you can drive through Ubi . You have master the real driving in Singapore.

First tester: Tiew Nee Huat (2.50pm test timing)

Well, on  first few minutes when i started the engine  I went into the parking lot I hit the parallel parking kerb . Personally , I felt that I didn't went before that area of the  parallel parking( actually for those test cars or at the evening period)  . This resulted of me being  nervous . Because it is a totally different environment ,however same parking slot. I reckon it is my sense of in confident and lack of skills. The parking slot of length and width is the same as the one I took in the other side of the parallel parking .Due to my anxiousness, and many round of corrections i strike the kerb .It constitutes to 10 points .  With that  10 points, I gave up .I didnt bother to focus on driving .Didnt check my blindspot. I told myself there was no point continuing to do all the procedure since I couldn't pass already . 

However, I shouldn't gave up so fast that time . Actually getting 10 points doesn't mean losing End : I still have a 50 percent of passing . I choose to gave up . That same day , I cried on the bed the whole
Night terribly . I held high expectations. I couldn't make it happen . I cried till I fell terribly sick the next day . Headache and fever . I wasn't able to take the kind of stress that hover me. It was really bad. Lucky, i wasn't on work yet.






2)2nd tester: Lee Kun Jun Kennett (11.45 am test timing)

When i get into the car, i joked : " the weather is really hot" 

" hmm , hmm please concentrate on your driving " said Kennett

with folded arms

emotions stir up me. my heart keep pounding extremely fast.

I was too nervous with coordination of hand and legs are terribly shaking. My left leg cannot control the clutch . I rolled back on the slope less than one metre which is bad from the start. I should not have done that mistake  . Since I am so proud and good in slope !! Therefore , since my left leg is incredibly shaking nervously, i lose total control in alot of circuit courses.( mine is manual car) .

 I striked the kerb when i was doing S course . Also because I am too focus on the pointers ,which I didn't see the overall where the car is directing. Therefore I strike it !! Sad and get 10 points!!!!!

By then i am perspiring profusely even on air conditioner blasting towards me .


With disappointment , I continue my circuit courses. The parallel parking is the biggest mistake.

 I didn't position my car in a correct position . Therefore , even I have the correct turning point at the back of the rear mirror . However , my positioning is wrong . my car back couldn't enter the slot .I  did a lot of corrections and exceeded the stipulated timing on 3 mins. This time I got an immediate failure . I am sad disappointed, and depressed .

After the test, I couldn't have the guts to  tell anyone this was the second attempt , only my Boyfriend knows about it . I was too ashamed to let anyone know.

I treated the test as a learning point . It is a strong and hard one for me ,especially when all the finance is running low for me. i didn't cry when i go back. Just feeling disappointed and low . I take it in stride since this is my second time.

3) 3rd Driving tester: Gang Hap Seng 

3rd time taking my driving test.Scheduled again to try after one month .

***(Private learners need to take 2-3 months to retest ,school takes 1 month only) 

I have finally passed . I know that Those mistake I did. I  realised and revised it . Tell myself never to make the same mistakes. Therefore , on the day I tell myself to calm down and read inspire quotes . 

I tend to calm myself down by going a little later  to the office . 

Disclaimer*****

Because I think the later you enter , the less hurry would be the tester that pick up .The tester sort of go by sequence .

 With a less hurry tester , lesser anxiousness ,more calm  ,

Able to give you time to adjust mirror when you move out or do reversing . My warm up starts at 10 am . I reach at 9.45 am purposely ( i reached the driving school at 9 am). I wanted to be the last few person to let the tester to take me as an examiner.  Guess what !! It helped. 

This TP tester is less hurry and slowly give instructions on what to do first and next . 

I was lucky to have him.

 This tester is really good . He gives clear instruction .

 Hahahs the cctv that is mounted on the mirror dropped a few times As there is no mounting towards it , I guess .

i feel less anxious , the cctv is smaller size when it faces us .'so it seems like isn't there . The trick is wind down the mirror , breathe the fresh air clear the mind to combat that anxiousness( if you are the kind that it is like my personality).

 Sometimes, I lean towards the rear window to let sunshine purposely fall on my face and body to calm me down when stopping . It helps . I even suck sweet to distract myself .Watch mr bean video during my wait for the tester to call me . 

The one that calm me the most is putting the rear window down , and breathe fresh air and let sunshine come down to your face . Guess what !! My circuit I am close to perfect with just 4 demerit points . The road I am getting 12 demerit points. I really thank the tester to be lenient towards me . The killer points was 2X 6 points fail to keep safe following distance and road hogging fail to keep left . I thought I did . The tester said I didn't , but well he is really good on me . I have 18 demerit points !!! I passed !! It was really elated .

 And I want to tell everyone never ever give up even in the hardest area in life . In the next post , I would share with you some secret tips to pass the driving test and excel in it . 

Mentally stressful and straining

I thought everything has resolved ,

It doesn't seem to be

I really don't wish to ponder on this matter anymore 

Just that it's just mentally stressful and straining 

I don't know why these days I am becoming highly fatigue and tired.

Am I worrying too much ?

I am the cause of everything to happen .

Yes maybe I am the cause to such things, really that's the truth ..

Sick

Even though I am feeling unwell due to heatiness ,he feels I am reigning illness . What's more to explain? You just don't trust me , repeatedly sense that I have the intention to deceive you.

If you love me so much , you will care that I am feeling unwell . Give your utmost care and concern. You just simply assume that your stand is right . Just that simply I don't know how to reject you or say that I don't want. 

I need someone to care and concern about me . When I need you most , you are not there .😢😢

Batam

Living standard and costs are vastly different . This shows the different economic status . I want to thank God for the weather and opportunity given . Thank god for the grace and mercy 

Valentines' Day

This valentines' day is really meaningful and special in my heart . I celebrated with Gavin these 2 days from 13 Feb to 14 Feb . I am really thankful that he specially book the flight later on the night at 1.55am. Reason is to celebrate this occasion for me .

He surprised me with a peaceful and fun night at furma hotel waterfront . We enjoyed the night together with each other really much . Therefore , I hope I am able to spend most of my nights and days with him together alone. He is the only guy I am willing to let him touch me comfortably and embrace me by his open loving arms . 

He gave me a nice meal in the Thai restaurant and chinese food .Never letting me go hungry and giving me abundance of food . 

He even surprised me to lay on the flower a silver neckance bought from Poh Heng . It is really pain my heart that he spend so much money on me. On the hotel stay , flowers, food and gifts just to surprise me . I feel really blessed and wonderful i. 

Personally to me , he is my everything and I really treasure him in my heart . I will never love any guy in my heart other than this special one . He treated me the best . I don't think anyone have treated me  better than him. When i wanted to separate for him, he even send me to the Mrt train station .He waited for me to depart . He always make an extra mile and make the effort and extend to do. In the sense , I willing to do everything for him.

As long he bother to care for me , I don't care that he is rich or anything . I just need a guy to care and concern on me . Understand me ...

There's no guy who really understand me . Other than you .😄😄😄

Heartbroken

Nobody seen it because they just walk past them . 

Same for my thoughts and heart to people

They just walk away like shadows in the dark

Pondering of the stakes of letting go whether is worth while

Guess it is

Because nobody ever really seen it anyway .
