Hello.
I just came back from my driving theory test this afternoon. I am taking a time off from my study schedule to write about it because today was a rather prolific day and should be recorded in this blog! 
So yeah, about that stupid, useless, WORTHLESS test. Omg it wasted so much of my precious time and made me stress out the entire week. SPM’s in approximately two weeks time and I am doing this driving shit.
Just in case you are wondering, I ain’t starting the whole driving course after SPM because… I JUST CANNOT. I must get my driver’s license by DECEMBER. It is urgent.
For those of you who have been there and done that, you would know that the driving course thingy is split into two parts right? I am trying to get the first part done before SPM and will be doing the second part after SPM.
No, actually I really do not want to go for it now because 1. SPM’s around the corner; 2. I have zero interest in driving… seriously. Haha. Probably it’s because I know I’ll be successful and chauffeur-driven like… forever. Kekekekeke. Ok. I am not gonna count my chickens before they hatch. For all I know, I’ll be someone’s chauffeur instead. Omg. Touch wood. Touch wood. Touch wood.
I took my test in Kinrara. Arrived at the test centre at 9:00AM. It was super small, super humid, super stuffy, super Third World. The air-conditioner wasn’t working. Even the padded fabric of the seats were ripped off. Omg.
There were A LOT of people. By the way, I was so lonely there. I thought I would meet people who are of the same age group as I am and perhaps make new friends but no… ALL of them were old! Yikes! Ok lah, probably not all… but most of them were! Even at the 6-hour driving class, majority were OLD. Some even have a jangut and it is DAMN WHITE. Omg. It was so white and frizzy that I can’t help but notice and blog about it. Haha.
Speaking of the driving class, it was soooooooo boring. I brought my Biology book to read and managed to cover half of the ecosystem chapter. It was a success! Haha. There was this guy who sat at a few seats away from me… he slept and HE FREAKING SNORED. Omg. I cannot stand being around these type of people lah seriously. So lazy. At least although I wasn’t paying attention I was studying HARD for a better future. And I don’t understand why it took them so long to apply for a license.
Back to the driving test centre… as I was saying… I felt so damn lonely there. This time I brought my chemistry book along! Haha. But I didn’t study at all though. I was trying to memorize the entire driving 101 book.
I didn’t really read much prior to that stupid theory test. SPM laaaaaaah. I have no time to give this thing a damn. But once at the centre, I was damn worried ’cause if I fail, I’ll have to wait until next week to resit and thus prolonging my stress. Die die also must get my driver’s license by December. If not, I won’t have transport to college! Takkan lah I walk? And no, I refuse to take the public transport.
And oh! I forgot to mention that I took the mock driving theory test at home TWICE and I failed TWICE. The first time I scored ±60% and for the second time which I took last night, I scored ±80% (yes, 80% is still a FAIL). I thought of doing another round of the mock test but 1. I was too exhausted and sleepy; 2. I couldn’t do and hence I became lazy. According to Gok Heng, >45/50 is a pass. (Note: My mock test tallies my scores in percentage, so yeah) In other words, I need to score at least 90% to pass.
I only studied Section 1 and Section 3 but completely ignored Section 2. I swear there is no more empty space in my cerebrum left to take in useless and worthless information such as the signboards, how-many-points-I-will-receive-if-I-break-the-rules, the-minimum-amount-of-alcohol-in-my-breath, etc. What are the odds that I will see a binatang liar running in front of my car? It’s dumb.
So yeah. I waited and waited and waited and waited and waited until it was my turn. At 2:00 o’clock, I WAS STILL THERE! I felt like I was like attending the 6-hour class for a second time! It was such a waste of my time and when SPM is only two weeks away, it’s really a waste of time.
While I was waiting, a few ladies were sitting near to where I was sitting. They were like the mak cik-mak ciks from the hood. Haha. And it was so funny ’cause they were LOUDLY yakking about all sorts of housewife nonsense. And one of them was like “Ya Allah, tolonglah berikan saya kekuatan untuk mengharungi ujian memandu ini” And I was like omg! It’s just a driving test! Hahaha.
We all waited pretty long. While waiting, I diligently eavesdropped on their housewife conversations which always sound interesting and funny to me. It was certainly a one of a kind first time experience! Haha. Wait, I don’t think ‘eavesdrop’ is even the proper word to use ’cause they were speaking so loudly that I can naturally hear.
Later one of them said “Budak nih (obviously referring to me) pun tunggu lama” thinking that I was from China and do not understand Malay, deaf or retarded. I starred at her and then the same mak cik asked me since what time have I been waiting. I replied “nine. err… sembilan!” while putting on a kesian face. Hahahaha. And then she praised “waaaaa… lamanya! you sangat sabar ya?!” (the entire herd of mak ciks exited the centre for lunch at noon)
Mak cik number two asked me what school I was from… to which I proudly answered Subang Utama! I told them that SPM’s in two weeks time and I am so stressed out. And at that very moment, I was officially inducted into the ‘driving moms’ clan. Hahahahaha.
They asked me about my school and what course I am gonna take in college and all. I felt like I was at some college interview or something. Haha. And a few minutes later, I was FINALLY called out to sit for the theory test. My ‘driving moms’ clan wished me good luck. Awwwww… so sweet. Hahahaha. Even my parents didn’t wish me good luck before I left the house.
The questions were okay lah. Quite tough actually. Gunning for a hundred, I did it very slowly and very carefully to avoid making any careless mistakes. The day before the test I didn’t know what a clutch plate was and till now, I still don’t know what a clutch plate is! Haha. And there was one question about it!
I rechecked my answers and then submitted it. My total score is…

43/50
Thinking that 43/50 is a fail, I was like *gasp* Masyaallah!!!. Hahahahahahahaha.
But then at the bottom I saw the word lulus (pass) and then I breathed a huge sigh of relief. Passing mark was actually 42.
As I walked out of the computer room, my ‘driving moms’ supporters asked me if I passed and so I nodded my head. One of them uttered among themselves “baloilah dia tunggu lama”. Haha. They are super sweet and super cute lah.
I took my result slip and waved goodbye to them before I left… as though I have known them for centuries. Haha. And they all waved back and said bye. Awwwwww…
Happy ending
