Steps to getting it:
1. Get my driving license. Check.
2. Find some sort of reason that I need it. eg. my uni is very far away and it's more convenient to drive there than to take public transport. Check.
3. Convince my parents of the rationale of step 2. Haha, now THAT poses a problem...:P
Yay...finally got my driving license today! 10 demerit points from the test...Not the most excellent result...but hey...what's important is that i PASSED right? :P Haha, at first when i saw what lousy test route i managed to ballot myself into, (route 6...which is like one of the hardest) was like "darn...why such bad luck...", but luckily the tester was quite nice...He could have failed me really...when some bus in front of me suddenly stopped to cut lane and i had to stop within the yellow box (aka stop at junction and cause obstruction to traffic which= immediate failure)... Thank goodness he decided to let me off on that though... Realised what ppl mean when they say that my centre's pass rate is quite low though...Out of the 19 ppl taking the test during the same time slot...Only 5 ppl (including me) passed...That's like about 25%...Bleah...
As for piano exam yesterday...kind of screwed up the Prelude section for the J.S Bach English Suite...which was the very first piece..(haha nervous...so my fingers went haywire..) but guess the rest of the sections of the suite, as well as the other pieces, went fine...I didn't blank out during Debussy's Toccata...(which i memorised for the exam) Phew!! :) The good thing about the exam venue at parkway is that the examiner seats directly behind you...So after some time, you can will yourself to forget about his existance...since he doesn't talk, and you can't see him anyway...:P It certainly helped calmed my nerves...the part about pretending the examiner is not there...;) Haha, it was kind of weird to have the examiner not mouth a single word the entire time though...unlike in my previous piano exams...Not that I'm complaining that LTCL has no aural and sight-reading and stuff...Actually prefer it this way..:P
