Yay! i just passed my driving!!! Thanks to all well wishers, i have not failed u! Thanks darling for letting me take my first official drive out the very night, not too bad right?
Really really thank God for His blessing in this. The tester was so kind to me, was quite steady in the circuit and all until i reached a junction at Teck Wye, should have waited until the 2 predestrians cross finish than i turn, dunno wat got into me, ended up stopping right in front of them and block the on coming road fortunately no cars at that moment. My tester went" Oh Oh..." and i was like 'shit....'

Thankfully he decided to pass me; smiled to me and told me to drive safely. *reminds me of a kindly old grand-dad :p
Passing driving means 1 thing- no more Uncle Raymond!!! If i have to take lessons from him again i think i'll be uber duper sian and so will he cos he's just to lazy to make small talk during lessons anymore. Nonetheless, he was very glad for me too, of cos not forgetting to remind me to intro more friends to him in the future. He really cracks me up sometimes, and so i'll dedicate this post to him:
