i passed!!
having unwisely told you the result already, let me tell you about my eventful driving test. before it started, i prayed like mad that i would be gracious enough to fail. and not in anger ram into a tree or something, like apparanly one particular testee did along the now- infamous teck whye avenue route one. and of couse, i prayed for splendid weather. i even went so far as to say that i would drive josh and dan to school at their beck and call if i passed. i negotiate alot. well, it rained. poured, in fact, during my warmup session. i was all in a tip. luckily, the very gentlemanly ( one of the few) warmup instructor said some consolatory things like, testers are more lenient when it rains, and you won't get the e-brake test. that was a great consolation, for me at that time who was wiling to believe anything. well, to cut a long story short, there wasn't e-brake, and i suppose the tester, though totally anal in behavior, was ultimately pretty nice, closing one eye while i did stupid things like turn right in the circuit when he said turn left, and parallel park in a very un-parallel way. in fact, i'm pretty sure he closed two eyes when i was on the road. he was practically asleep. he even three-quart reclined his seat. well at least that credits me with giving him a darn smooth ride. so, i was a very happy girl today, though a total of SGD$17600 poorer.
after that i went for another interview at SAM. This one was actually pretty fun. cos i got to take alot of dumb photos and check out the photojournalist('s equipment). and while i was at it i got talking to this whole bunch of primary school kids who were on tour with a super-enthu musuem docent. i admit, its fun to do it right.
