Passed my driving test at the first attempt. The tester was spewing all sort of expletives throughout the duration of the test, giving me the impression that I was going to fail. Luckily, he passed me, saving me the trouble of staying back for remedial training.That marks the end of class 3 course. I have to return to my unit tomorrow morning. I dont know whether I should feel cheerful or depressed. As the day of departure for Brunei draws nearer, the training gets tougher. The fact that we have remain inactive for about a month worsens the situation. At the same time, I have been looking forward to meet up with my friends, whom I havent seen in about a month. Anyway, there'll be lots of stuff to prepare. I'll try to squeeze in another entry before I leave for Brunei. Cheerios! 11 to Brunei 441 to ORD Wednesday, November 08, 2006, 10:05 PM
Just a week ago, I went for the infamous HSP(Highway Situational Problems) test, the equivalent of the advanced theory test in the commercial sector, known to have a high failure rate. Well, its not exactly identical. We have to push toy cars on different kinds of junction on a board instead of answering multiple choice questions. There was this specific format you have to follow in order to pass. Any other variations would mean a sure failure.Knowing myself(blur and careless), I knew my chances of passing it on the first attempt was slim. My prediction was correct. I failed. The feeling I had at that point of time was... I couldnt describe it. It sucks. And it sucks even more when you see all your friends passing the test without much effort. While they celebrate their triumph, I could only keep to myself in one side of the room. I now understand how it is like to feel helpless, there's nothing you can do to change the outcome of the test. It's lucky I manage the pass it on my second attempt after some remedial training. I just cleared my parking test yesterday too. All that stands between me and my class 3 license is my driving test now. =) BSO and sergeant came to visit us yesterday. From what we heard, life in camp is really torturous now. There would be numerous route marches, SOC training and IPPT test every week. Those who didnt manage to pass IPPT would be confined during Saturday for extra PT sessions. Im beginning to doubt that I will be able to undergo all those trainings. My fitness had been deteriorating since day one of the course. 13 more days to end of the course if everything goes smooth. Whether or not my body can take those punishments isnt a major concern now. Passing the course is. 454 to ORD |
