So I went for the Law test last Saturday. Had to take leave again. 😛 It was actually at this place near to Warta, Myeg. We had to do the usual, thumbprint scan, take pics. They use a pretty lousy looking Casio digital cam to take our for the L-license. I hope it’s a better camera they use for the actual licence later.
Anyways, sat around waited and all as usual. Then it was my turn to do the test on the computer. The computers all looked rather aged. Is the government not paying them enough. I had some kind of phobia that in the midst of the test the computer would hang or reboot itself. But thank God it went on without a hitch. I went there with two other kids, a couple of 16-year-olds. The boy had thick glasses on and I suspected he was colour blind. For the colour blind test we were actually allowed to ask the people to reset our results if we failed it the first time. Amazing huh. Anyways, this boy was seated next to me, and he actually asked me for the answer to one of the colour questions. He didn’t dare ask me a second time but asked one of the guys who worked there instead. The guy came in and ask the boy directly if he was colour blind. Coz the picture of the number was really clear and pretty impossible to miss. Eventually he passed that part but failed the 50 questions. The girl who came with me also couldn’t pass the colour blind test. In actual fact, they are not supposed to be allowed to drive I guess, but somehow paying allowed their bad record to be cleared in a way. Anyways I passed!
So I went to the ‘teori and amali class’ on Sunday, which took up my whole Sunday, I had to skip church and even my cell leader’s training class. The class was pretty useless in a way, we had this lecturer who said he used to teach the army driving. Well he spent more than 3 hours cracking silly jokes about driving and some really unrelated stuff. I think some people found him rather insulting especially to the feminine kind. I thought he was pretty funny though, and maybe should change his job to be an on stage comedian instead, coz students who really wanted to learn driving are not gonna get anything out of him.
We were then given some more coffee breaks, and then there was the amali/practical class, just looking at some engines and changing tyres. It was helpful in a way, but I think bigger car engines would look so much different from the Kancil’s. Changing tyres for the little Kancil is definitely going to be much easier than for other cars as well.
Now I’m really looking forward to start my real driving lessons next week through the bad roads of Kajang. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
