[Random conversations of grouchy uncles...]

As my driving test date draws near, I've always gotten the same car and the same instructor as well. The instructor I've been assigned...I used to think that he was a jovial guy, until getting him on a regular basis, I realised - not so jovial.

In any case, he had a very heated conversation argument in the car today, on the phone with another student. Obviously, I caught only one side of the conversation (although the phone was loud enough for me to know that it was a girl on the other line).

To the best of my understanding, the girl had a lesson scheduled for tomorrow, but I think she got it wrong and came down today instead. My instructor scrambled to find someone to give her a lesson (they work in a group, hence I was assigned different instructors in the past). She ended up being late for the lesson because she went into BBDC for something. And from what I gathered, she wanted her assigned instructor to make up for the lost time which he could not because he had other students after her.

So back and forth, they traded verbal blows. Honestly, I thought the girl was being unreasonable. She threatened to look for other private instructors instead, and my instructor called her bluff by saying go ahead and hung up the phone.

She called back about 10 seconds later. Owned.

And in other news....I went to BBDC to print a receipt I need to present for the test. On my way in, this lady came out and she was visibly upset...With a red nose and eyes. I wonder what happened. Well, not really. Anyone can guess what happened.

I hope I pass on my first try...Mainly because I'm starting to run out of money. In any case, I think that passing the driving test is 50% skill and 50% luck. Seriously. It depends on the road conditions as well as the tester you get.

dont eat oily food.

you think that auntie will pass this time round?
Part of me hopes that she passes, so her agony's over.

The other part of me hopes she doesn't pass cause I don't feel safe on the roads with that kind of people behind the wheel. Actually, I think she's a little disturbed...
