I CANT BELIEVE I FINALLY PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!!!!haha...yeah..i passed it after 2nd round..failed bukit the first time...feel like bulldozing that piece of over-grown land..haha..well...after all the effort..it wouldn't suffice to just say i passed...so...i shall endeavour to explain it as detaily and vividly as possible.....
i got into the car...said a quick prayer for myself and Wayne...and got off....drove up the hill...and my clutch in the car was super springy....like fighting with my foot...got up the hill...landed right smack on the yellow line...and waited for the JPJ fellow to give me the thumbs up...well....i THOUGHT he gave me the thumbs up so i started moving the car...1st time failed miserably...apparently my clutch wasnt lifted high enuf...and my car slipped back a few precious inches...2nd time again failed miserably..same mistake..and my car slipped back ANOTHER few inches....i was thinking "oh my gosh..im sooo failing this test..." prayed "oh God please let me pass..i cant bear to come back..You know how much i want and need this license...". just then the JPJ guy looked at me and said..."eh..saya pun belum suruh kamu jalan lagi.."...lol..and he let me drive again....really thanked God..apparently he didnt see my car slipping backwards....so the third time...steeled my nerves,held my breath and tried again..this time i had the sense of mind to lift the clutch just a wee bit higher..and the car rolled over the hilltop to my utter amazement....was laughing like a lunatic in the car and repeating "Thank You God!" for i dont know how many times....when i was waiting in the car for my parking run..i saw my friend wayne above the hill..his attempts were even more miserable...haha...(sorry wayne)...tried like dunno how many donkey times..when i saw his car sitting there like a rock even tho he was revving the engine i began praying for him...haha..didnt want him to fail and come back alone...den his car went back down the hill...i thought it was all over...suddenly he drove up again...was a retry..after a few more moments of anguish in the car he fianlly got that stubborn vehicle moving..and it too rolled over the hilltop to his relief....haha...prayed before goin for the parking..and God answered my prayer by somehow seeing my friend thru the hill so he could do the parking with me...finished it and the three point turn...and i had passed my driving test...was ecstatic i tell you....wanted to hug the JPJ people d...lol.....so yeah...finally got my driving license after a looong wait...good on you Ira for getting it the first time..and congratz to Jasmine,Amanda and all those who passed before i did...you guys stay safe on those roads okay..=)
well, this experience really thought me a lot....not just on how to drive a vehicle..although that was the main point of it....but i also learnt something new about myself..and most people in general...for MOST teenagers...being able to drive is like...the ULTIMATE freedom...we get to go anywhere we want...no more relying on people for transport...we chart our own course...and we are in control of our own direction....aah..such freedom...so sweet....but then again, its not just teenagers...being human we tend to want to be able to drive our lives, to be in control at all times, to chart our own course and to go our own way....i discovered this while pondering about what the driving license will mean to me...for us, it means a lot to have our freedom...so much so that sometimes we forget that our lives are best driven by divine intervention...a sovereign hand....our God above...i mean..its natural for us to want to lead our own lives..but lets not forget that God knows whats best for us...and sometimes, tho we might want to control our own lives and steer our own course, it might not always be best for us...my prayer is that even though i can drive my car legally...i want God to remain the driver of my life...becoz i have no clue whatsoever as to where to go and what He has in store for me..but one thing's for certain..if God is driving, you can rest assured that you will achieve your final destination..and it will be even better than what you wanted for urself....what i wanted for myself....while i was waiting for my test i played a song on my handphone....My God is Big, so strong, so mighty....and He proved that today..that hill might have been a huge and scary obstacle to me...but my God is bigger...and He is strong and mighty...thank you God..for seeing me through..not just my driving test..but also throughout these wonderful 18years of my life...be my guide....for now and forever....
IM FINALLY ABLE TO DRIVE SOMETHING OTHER THAN BLOOD PRESSURE UPWARDS!!!
