今天請假，一大早就去監理站等著考筆試，同一批考試的大約有30人，都是懷德駕訓班的。
可能是因為我報名前就自爆"擁有國外駕照"，而且每次都開車到駕訓班練車，讓教練太放心了... 一直到考前1個多禮拜我才開始做筆試的練習題，由於時間不夠 (主要是因為我一個禮拜只去兩天)，我只好盡量每天讀一些，到了駕訓班就做幾張練習題，結果還讓我剛好在考前兩天把12張練習題做完，其中大概只有最後4張有達到85分的及格分。
考前最後一晚，我心裡有點慌，因為我還沒背熟所有的條規，書本裡面的練習題也還沒做完，可是要我這個離開學校三年的"工程師"再回去背這些條約規定數字真的很催眠... 我昨晚做練習題到最後已經是題目還沒唸完就已經闔上雙眼，半秒鐘後眼睛睜開時根本不知道題目是什麼... 不過有做的幾乎都可以答對，至少也可以猜對，所以我就不再掙扎，關燈睡覺。
晚上睡得不是很好，早上也是鬧鐘還沒響我就醒來過兩次，等鬧鐘真的響了我又爬不起來，還好早上沒塞車，我到監理站時還早了10分鐘，我就在車子裡多練習幾題，差點練到忘了時間。
進入考場，翻開試題，很慶幸地，我最害怕的罰多少錢吊幾個月的題目不多，做完算算大概只有4題沒把握。結果成績公佈，只有2個人不及格，有1個人考滿分，而我只錯1題，順利過關。
過了早上這一關，我才開始擔心自己路試會不會順利，於是我聽從教練的建議，提早到考場練習，果然第一圈就出狀況，S型倒車差點倒到安全島上... 經過教練指導後比較沒有問題，不過心理還是沒把握。練習完之後又等了約2個小時，終於輪到我上車，臨走前，教練還說我是他的強棒... 讓我不禁心虛了一下 (我沒跟他說我紐西蘭的駕照可是限制駕照啊~~~)，也有點後悔選擇手排，尤其是當我看到選自排的女生咻地退出S型彎道時...
第一關，倒車入庫，過關，第二關，路邊停車，過關，第三關，S型彎道... 倒出來超不通暢! 不過沒壓線，所以過關... 這時考官上車了，我不知道在緊張什麼，竟然忘了打回1檔，幸好沒直接踩油門... 接下來第四、五、六關都順利過關，到了最後一關直線加速的地方換檔的時間沒算好，在通過終點的最後半公尺才勉強打回1檔，鬆開離合器...
把車停好，走下車時教練還拿著DV在拍，直到聽到他恭喜我拿到駕照時我才發自內心的笑了出來，哈哈哈~ 我終於可以合法開車啦~
教練都會把學員學習&考試的過程用他的DV拍下來上傳到他的無名小站... (註: 他已經60多歲了)

Long time no see, Blogger
Having more time to myself recently, I could finally get my minds back on some of the things I gave up over work.
For example, I went to classes learning how to use softwares such as Photoshop and Corel Painter; I also enrolled to a driving school, and is finally going to drive legally in Taiwan; I had time to upload hundreds of photos up to flickr, and even categorized them into Sets and Collections; I went out more frequently, played paintball, played basketball once, watched a couple of movies, even went for a walk on a Sunday.
The latest addition to that list would be: I came back to check on my own blog! and it looks... exactly the same, just as I remembered it a year ago. The urge to make a change is so strong I started biting my teeth! I want to make it pretty! I want to post new stories! I want to make it come alive again! (has it.. ever?)
So, this post is an announcement (to myself) that I will start keeping my diary... more often! In truth, it's just a post to let everyone know that this blog is still up and running. I wanted to post something interesting but couldn't think of anything, so I might as well practice my English... I even changed the colour and the layout!
