And so its over... Driving test that is!
The amazing thing about it all is how everything fell into place so nicely. I guess putting it in point form would make it easier to see.
1. We were scheduled for testing in the afternoon (its easier at that time compared to morning because of the traffic)
2. My instructor finally praised me and encouraged me to pass when I went for my warm-up before lunch. He said he took extra care of me cos he knew I had the heart to learn, learnt fast, and was humble enough to accept his teaching.
3. Only 5 out of 15 of us were allowed to take the test, and people were chosen randomly. It so happened that I was chosen. At that time I knew I was definitely going to pass, as I could see everything fall into place.
4. There were 3 testers, and the order of people going for the test determined which tester you went to. In the end I got the best (lenient) tester!
5. While driving traffic was surprisingly heavy, but it seemed that my senses were at their peaks for the test duration, as a result was able to spot all the possible hazards and avoid them.
6. The test route was insanely difficult, going through Eunos, then Ubi. Places with a lot a lot of industrial vehicles, inconsiderate drivers and pedestrians. Thank God that no difficult situations arose despite the route.
So many things to give thanks for, if all these pieces didn't fit together so nicely I think I wouldn't have passed. When I look at it I know that God was definitely in control of the entire situation.
Well, its taking some time to sink in but.......... I CAN STAY OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!! WHEEEEEEEE!
At least until I go back to 8 SIG.

The NUS letter, the same one as last year came a couple of days back. And theres only one thing I wanna say: Whatever.
One thing is that the pain of last year is still on my mind. Another thing is that I have more important duties to attend to. The last thing is that my impression of the med course in Singapore has gone from bad to worse, mostly thanks to things I hear from a friend in the course about back-stabbing and dishonesty and whatnot. Tsk.
I'll give some thought to it. Later. Maybe.

Mai-Hime and Mai-Otome are pretty good series of anime. Not only in terms of the action, character development and plot development, but also it brings up a couple of really interesting issues about love and friendship.
Would you actively destroy the person your friend loves the most in order to save your significant other? Would you, for the sake of your dreams, give up on the one you love the most? Would you go against your friend to uphold your master's honour and protect his life? Would you stop loving some one just because you are afraid of losing him/her to the circumstances around you? Would you forgive your friend if he/she were the one who caused you to lose the one you love?
Dilemmas like this are what make anime so real to some people out there... They've had to think through these things before. And thats what I like about anime as well. Something that is so out of this world can still be so relevant some times.
