Bro, i saw garrick at bbdc today. He was taking his sp. How are you?

[Veil]

Well anyway i'm gg for 9am sp this sat.Most prob.But i may cancel and change timing again.

 

Oh btw guys i just cleared 8.01 today! Was the only one out of 6 to pass.

Zhun zhun 18 points haha.

 

U turn wobble =( if not 12 points alr. A bit sad why i did not take my time n u-turn..was told by instructor: ownself check n go la.

Gan chiong siao check liao faster go..tot i making right turn or what..resulted in wobble plus quite close to the line on the left alr.For that,4points wobble n 2 points for getting close to the white line i think.Was e first bike btw ! Anw end of lesson then realized ..veil gf in the same class lol..saw the familiar looking gloves and asked if she was veil's gf.Lol.

 

talk abt me ah? (sarah, veil's gf)

yo bruddah! not too bad..been slacking off recently.. remember i said taking SP every alternate day after i clear 8.01? haha, i only managed a few only! booked one today at 920am..but too tired, decided to take a day off. tmr will take at 920am..then i think i should be done liao..

 

i'm still quite affected by the u-turn leh..dunno why..but i think the trick is to make your bike more perpendicular to the stop line bah..still trying to find out the best position. *yikes, and TP is just 2 days away*

@garrickchoww, good luck for tomorrow buddy!

[guiderer]

just dropping by...

 

good lucks to you (kelena) for your TP tomorrow!

hello guiderer. first thing's first: thanks!

 

ok, now the cost part - it's subjective. for me, i know that i'm quite a slow learner, so i thought i'd beef things up by going for more practices. it's personal, really. There are some pple that have only gone for 1 or 2 SPs..

@guiderer

 

it depends on whether you are a slow learner or fast learner.

 

i personally spent a bit more than my friends lol

for me, i go to the limit of saving money~

when i was getting my 2b back then, i only use my NSF allowance to learn, along with my regular expenses, thus $ is the most important thing... but luckily i managed to scrape through with the minimum points to pass hahaha... i did 0 self practice, 0 revision... not within my budget >.

[kelena]

@kelena

 

good luck for your tp

 

and i survived! phew*

[garrickchoww]

eh, so how was EFR?

[garrickchoww]

Yesh.....TP day is gan chiong siao!

Haha only got gan chiong when the instructor briefed last time before we go out for test.Heartbeat v fast.

Not gonn write too much.

 

Two days back having fever ,flu and baad cough...

Recovered much alr..but decided not to take cough med in the morn ...as i did not want drowsiness to affect my TP.

 

Sequence for number tag today was by firstly foreigner first..then come by oldest to youngest.

So needless to say..i got a tag that was v at the back cos i'm quite young.Today the number went up to 70...

Mine was 66!!

 

Briefing talk a lot kok..n v sloooooow make us all gan chiong.

Briefed finished..started to rain ...all v sian.

 

Waited n waited...mind was v thinking of all the possible mistakes i could/would make during test...same goes for some other guys....

Lol.Kelena got number tag 20+ if i rmbr correctly...

Finally called out...got helmet n stuff...coughing damn badly while waiting to go out..

Good thing was didn't need to wear raincoat by the time reach my turn cos rain stopped.

 

Got bike...tua pek kong (Tester) Waved..proceed on....

My mind went blank! A few guys also said their mind went blank...

Think cos of nervousness and the fear of doing wrong things...

Went ahead with what i did normally during sp... go test route..

End alr got back and talk to a lot ppl..check out how they felt the test was like...

 

I can tell u how funny it is ..strangers who arrived in the morn at bbdc suddenly become "good friends" LOL! Talk like no tmrw while waiting for results..

Waited close to 30 mins?

Knew the procedure clearly as veil had mentioned that those number tag being called out were those who failed.

So was praying v v hard that my number wont be called!!

 

Tp and instructor read out the numbers....

my whole row.... "62 63 64 65 67 All come out"

My heart almost drop out! Cos my number sandwiched in between!!

Me and kelena PASSED! WOO! :D

 

 

After everything....realize a lot ppl fail..nt sure is it cos of rain or what!

Out of like 60...20 passed! That's like so little eh!!

When all numbers read out i went ...Baik ah! woohoo!

Some ppl still don't know they had pass lol!

 

Went for Expressway familiarization ride...fun to the max... speed faster. But the bike vibration cannot tahan... lol.

U-turn went till 3rd lane 2nd lane for all i care ah!!! Right turn just corner low low! WOO

It's been a fun journey for 2b at bbdc.Awww sad to say i wont need or wont be coming back anywhere near 1 year! Woohoo!

 

Got 16 points btw! And quite a few got 18...or 16.The best i saw was 8 points followed by 10 then 16 alr.

Thx alot veil for all e guidance u given! Appreciated much and alot man bro!! :D

 

Well i spent a total of 1080 man! Haha after passing i think u would heckcare about the money! Now just find a job and get a bike in 2-4 months !

PS: It was a long post after all ...lol -.-

Yeap thanks bro!

[kelena]

Yeap thanks bro!

 

congrats again!

[Veil]

Congrats guys! Muz sayang ur licence since so much money n time were spent.

 

Do ride defensively for ur initial stage. Try not to push ur limits til u r more proficient. If u ride daily, the confidence to handle unexpected incidents will eventually come to u.

 

The real lessons starts nw so ride safe!
