Driving!!... not.

Okay, so on Monday I called up the driving school to know about the details and what to do and the procedures and everything. A week ago, my mum said we would go on Tuesday. But then she had class. Then we could go on Wednesday but then my dad was outstation so we couldn't get some particulars that we needed. So then, okay FRIDAY!

For an L License, first of all, a 5 hour course, a computer test and after that a workshop. Next, the JPJ test which you can take it for 14 hours or 16 hours. And finally the P License which is something like the probation period. And the place opens up from 9.30am to 6pm

So this evening, at around 4pm, I was all ready and set to go... My parents were out and my brother was too tired to drive so my dad suggested to just go walk there with Safi since it was around a 10-15 minute walk. We walked and fast-walked (whenever we see men; regardless if they look suspicious or not) and crossed a pedestrian bridge. One interesting thing about me is that I hate pedestrian bridges. Well, not really hate. They are an aid to humankind to cross the road and get to the other side for safety. But why oh why must they make it so high up? Going up the steps, I always freak out that I would fall backwards or something. That's because I'm not holding the rails because I take it that they're dirty (EVERYONE touches them)>_< and when I'm walking on the bridge itself, I will never ever look to the sides, or to the cars down below. I would just focus on the middle and tell myself to keep on taking one step forward. I told this to Safi and HE found it quite amusing. He made this 'tripping act' on the bridge and I screamed out. A good thing nobody was there:P

So anyway, when we reached there, the big sign on the door said: Jumaat Cuti.
I didn't scream or throw a tantrum or whatever. Just took a deep *DEEP* breath. And walked back... Ahahaha.

That was my big walking-to-the-driving-school adventure. Soon, I SHALL get my Driver's License! InsyaAllah:)
