matthias & davina: I'm a certified driver now :)

I am truly very thankful for having to pass my driving test. I was feeling rather nervous before my warm up, and just kept thinking of all the trouble and time i had to go through should i fail. Thank God for His grace and blessings.

I must say, I am really very thankful for my driving instructor. He's really very very nice, and i fixed him for all my revision lessons. We would talk to each other on countless of random topics while i drive...and that definitely made the driving lessons much more enjoyable. Of course, there were times he was pretty strict and got me so worried of my driving skills. But on the whole, he was encouraging and i really enjoyed his coaching. I was just telling God, on the day of my test, that it would be great if i could pass because I've bought a christian book "The purpose driven life" for him to read and so, the faster i pass, the faster he can learn to know more about God. I hope he reads it though :)

And a very big thankyou to all my friends too, esp Jess who always believed i could do it. It meant so much, and I was really glad i could end off that day having a nice meal with you.

And to you, my dear. I truly couldn't have pass without having you by my side. The many times you took time to drive me down to the driving school...and patiently waited for me for the entire 2 hours without having anything to do. It must have been boring, but you never once complained. You were there to give me advice and knew how to deal with me. You made sure that i wasn't too overconfident or too overly-worried. That must have been tough on you, especially with my constant whines and anxieties. On the day of my test, you were there to see me off before my test, and when i hopped out of the car after my test, you were right there before my very own eyes :). That made me very very happy. Throughout my test, you sat patiently for 50 minutes, and prayed endlessly and sang songs to God. God heard your prayers, and must have been touched with them. When we both found out that I passed, you immediately gave me a big, tight, warm hug and said "Congratulations darling, I knew you would pass" with a big glow and smile on your face. You were proud and happy of me, and that made me soo happy. Not only that, you went straight ahead to buy the P-plate for me and upon knowing that Joel Swee (our senior) was also there and passed his driving, you went to buy another one for him. Your generosity touched my heart. What can i do without you? I really don't know. And immediately after i collected my temporary license, you did not hesitate and encouraged me to drive your car. Your confidence in me means a lot to me, dear. Thank you for every single thing. I love you.

So far, with him by my side, I've successfuly driven from my house to the airport, from bukit timah to vivo city and parked in the carpark, and drove back home via ECP from PGP (NUS) at night. There's still a lot more room to improve on, and a lot more confidence to build up...With God's grace, i hope one day i'll be able to drive by myself safely and confidently.

Anyhow, here're some pictures we took after the results were revealed.

Me with the P-plate dear bought, and my test results...16 points haha.
