We all have that one friend who posts their problems on social media like facebook , twitter or even on instagram . I'm sure you will sometimes get annoyed by this kind of tweets or post and you might block them to mute them because you might think that they are spamming your newsfeed .
Indeed , this issue really bother quite a lot of people because I've seen a lot of memes complaining about people posting their problems on social media . To be honest ,sometimes I get annoyed ,but sometimes I don't , because I know why they are posting them even if it is the most private problems they are going through !
I heard being sarcastic actually makes people wiser but your point here reflects that you're quite ignorant .
WHAT IF I TOLD IT WILL MAKE THINGS EASIER ?refer to the seven points !
Sit back and imma tell ya right away !
Why People Post Their Problems on Social Media
1) They spoke for themselves lest they're gone one day
Truth will be spoken or their voices will be heard if they were gone one day . They may want other people to know that they are bothered by some problems lest they committed suicide, be it by accident or vice versa . At this moment , I believe it's no longer a problem to them anymore , it's a conundrum . It's different .
Most of the time , people with life problems are suicidal to escape from the problem and if you said they are stupid ( yes , to a certain extend) , I gotta say you don't understand them . Posting their conundrums on social media is like they are writing a 'death note' or a 'suicide note' that they wish to clarify and come clean with things that had been bothering them . Of course this will make them feel better , their voice is heard when they can't speak anymore .
They wish people could try to understand why they took their own life , how they feel and hope to minimize criticisms from the 'keyboard warriors' online . However , they may not be suicidal , keep reading to check out what are the other possibilities !
2) They've been keeping it for too long
Everyone has their limits , and when it's exceeded , they do things without much thought. This is when 'the side you never want to see' is shown.
I saw this picture online two years ago , but I didn't understand the meaning of the third point . Now I know ! If you don't get it , I will try my best to help you understand this .
Holding the weights symbolises keeping their problems to themselves , steps symbolises time . Imagine holding on your palms 10 kg of weights , and for EACH step you take (walk) ,another weight is added to the load . Your arm is strained to the maximum .There comes the final weight that breaks your resistance , and your arm gives way and the weights crash to the ground .
The feeling is exactly like this , except that her resistance have not broken , her arms have not given way and the weights have not crashed to the waters . The process is not easy .
This is implying that they had have enough of the things that are bothering them and 'the side you never want to see' makes a debut ! They loses themselves (become bewildered) , and you should understand why they post their problems on social media by now .
3) Writing a diary or journal is troublesome
Keyboard warriors ( or even pandas) be like " Hey brotha , that obviously sounds like a personal problem , keep it to yourself please ! "
I believe many of them writes or had tried to write a diary before but they stopped after a few weeks ,months or even years . Why ? because they want to post it on Facebook or Twitter .
Writing a diary can be quite troublesome , because they might lost it as most of them don't write them everyday . As for social media , it has been a part of our life and it has become a daily routine for them to be online . Besides , posting your problems on Facebook or Twitter saves the hustle of getting a pen or finding their diary because their smartphone are pretty much attached to them and wifi is easily available .
4) They're helpless and desperate for help 5) They have nobody trusted to turn to
Point number 4 and number 5 are related . Here is how both are related . " They have nobody trusted to turn to that's why they are helpless and desperate.
They share it publicly because they think they can't handle it alone anymore but they can't trust anybody else . So , they start to trust the social media , which is something non-living , forgetting the fact that the social media are crowded with judgemental eyes .Normally , they will delete them after they realise what they are actually doing .
That pair of judgemental eyes , judging so hard aye ?
You can't really blame them for not trusting anyone . Everyone has their own stories , don't judge when you only know their name and face . You can't be sure if they had some obnoxious past experience that make them become more reserved to themselves .
6) Pouring out their feelings in words is easier than saying it verbally
People especially girls ( not trying to be sexist but this is how the internet describes girls) tend to feign carefree saying that they are completely fine when they are obviously not . It's not easy to express feelings verbally because they are many factors that may hold you back . Look at the examples below , try to ask yourself if you find it easier to write or to speak them out .
I love you
I hate you
You're annoying
You're ugly
When they speak ,they tend to feel bad , embarrassed or worried , so it's better to put it in words sometimes .
7) Being an Attention Whore Wanting Attention From The Expected Person, to be accurate.
Possibility 1 : They are expecting that person that they think care about them to willingly ask about their problems first before they told the expected person . If it really happens in the way they expected , they feel appreciated . They will realise that someone actually care about their concerns . Undeniably , this makes the them feel better . And you were asking how it's all better because of that huh ? ( third photo from the top )
Just want to share this photo because it touched my heart even though I didn't not know what's their concerns . Moreover , the comfort here is too comfortable . =')
Possibility 2 : It's possible that their problem involves a third party . They want the third party to solve their problem and maybe both are reluctant to speak to each other . At the same time , they do not want to be direct to the third party and hinting them that they are actually bothered . I personally think that think is the worst excuse or a weakest reason (of all) why people post their problems online . I mean , grow up brotha , solve the problem between you guys the mature way ! No offence , Peace . Sorry for not posting anything for the past two months , I've been busy with college and now it's my mid-sem break ! Yippie Yay !

I was first introduced to Garena Blackshot when I was14 by a friend who wanted someone to play with him . Garena Blackshot is a shooting game that is close to an exact copy of Sudden Attack , Counterstrike and so on . So , I created an account and I had fun .After a period of time , I eventually stopped playing it at all to focus on something that is more important .
After a few years , I graduated from high school/secondary school and I have a long holiday. I had plans for my long holiday but this gaming thing was definitely not in my plan. It was quite a distraction but who cares , YOLO ,I did not regret it , at least for now =) I need more fun before college starts. I started to play this game again but with a new account because I forgot what was my old account ID and password.
1) I Was A Game Addict
I played for 3 months since January , almost everyday for at least one hour or up to 4-6 hours . If I were in a mood to do nothing productive on that day , my day can be just game , eat and sleep . That definitely exceeded 6 hours of gaming .
Stopped since April because I realised I had been derping for months , and I should commit myself into something more meaningful , something that will gives me permanent pleasure and happiness . I had to do something with my life instead of feeling happy temporarily in a game which is not useful or beneficial to me in a long run .
2) Why I loved the game
I liked the suspense , and how it made my heart flutter when people stabbed you in the back (literally) . It was even more palpitating when someone jumped down from the top to stab you !
The pleasure and satisfaction you got when you played it well is the BOMB ! HAHA The game was thrilling and I loved it
The amounts of head shots in a row at the bottom improved my mood =) . My best record of all time was either 9 OR more (I forgot) head shots in a row ,without respawn . BOMB !
7 kills in a row (without respawn), that was my best record of all time .BOMB !
That sudden bafflement that struck you when you got killed not knowing who did it was one of the wow factor !
3) Screenshot It When I have a Fancy Weapon
Be it a knife, sniper, SMG, shotgun , rifle or a grenade , I would press the print screen button .
A paraphernalia of fancy weapons with different colours,name and shape.
4) Cyber bullying
The game (in a game room) was divided into blue team and red team . There was once , I randomly entered a game room and I was told to leave the team and join the other team because of my rank . My rank was private , if I'm not wrong . Private is a rank for beginners and newbies of the game .
Gamers cheating and hacking in the game was quite common. Gamers online could be mean when they are scolding them . Coo called Ruby orphan because he was cheating/hacking the game . There were actually meaner gamers scolding people with all sorts vulgarities !
I've been booted from a game room before , not sure why , maybe because I'm noob . I had seen other gamers boot people because they are weak/noob too.
5) Real Name as Game ID
Initially , I used my real name because it's easy to remember , so that I wouldn't have problems logging into my account to play the game . I tried to change my game ID but to no avail . Anybody out there knows how to change the game ID ? please let me know in the comment section below !
6) Flirts And Catcalls
People could just randomly send a whisper message to me asking if I'm a girl . Majority of gamers are guys , but there are a minority of girls too . I'm curious if the other people who used girl names get this kind of whisper message too ? Let me know in the comments below =D
HAHA just kidding , don't slap me due to my narcissism .
Some gamers took flirting to a whole new level . He was not my friend , I didn't know him . He didn't even know anything about me .He only know my name , oh my name is beautiful , punch me , but stop , I was just joking. Although I told him I'm a guy , he just keep teasing me .
I don't like unwanted attention , that's why I want to change my game ID as I previously mentioned .
7) Never Accepted Random Friend Requests
I had never accepted random friend requests in the game . I only accept friend requests sent by gamers that I have interacted in the game . 'Friends' in game just remained in game . Untill now , I only have 5 friends out of the 5000 friends limit .
8) People in Game
The determined people
I rejected a random friend request and that gamer kept sending me another one , one after another after every rejections . LOL what !? And he sent more than 3 game request until I got annoyed a little bit , hahaha .
The kid
Saw a gamer girl using her real name , and I thought we could be friends . Oh wait , she's just 12 years old . OMG, Hey I just wanted to have peers (girls) who have common interest .
The nice people
Sometimes , people would just say 'good luck' before a game started .
The vulgar people
And the vulgar people would be like ' stfu' after people saying good luck . (errrr.... it was actually me who said good luck to random people , ahaha)
And vulgar people like those that I mentioned previously ( cyber bullying ) refer to #4 .
9) Got a S rank in Blackshot
S rank is higher than getting an A
Stop discriminating girls , Girls can be good at video games too
10) MVP (Most Valuable Player) in Blackshot
-------------------------------------------------------------
From this gaming experience , I truly had a lot of fun . Besides , I also learnt that guys could just throw out promising pick up lines like how they throw rubbish . So yeah girls , don't be deceived by them .
'Practice makes perfect ' , and I have proven it right . I was once the gamer who got booted out of a game room because I was too weak . Now , I managed to cling the 'S' rank and finished as a MVP a.k.a most valuable player . In fact , I was not that good , I'm only good using smg in the game .Now , I came back to reality , so I will be on a indefinite hiatus in gaming . Moreover , college will be starting really soon , and I will not be able to blog often .

Well , I'm not sure if this was my first experience but this was definitely my first lucid experience .If it was a dream , I had to admit that this was the weirdest creepiest and scariest dream EVER.
Woke up naturally in the morning , brushed my teeth , had my breakfast . As I was using my laptop to check my emails and stuffs , I felt lazy and my bed was just beside me , my brother's bed to be exact . I was in his room . I might need some power nap , I thought , nites !
But first, let me tell ya some bedtime stories .... LOL
Yum yum I love to sleep but I hate how I could fall asleep during the day better than at night . I wish it happens the other way instead . Lately, I don't feel sleepy at night , I closed my eyes and tried my best to 'faint' into sleep , but I just couldn't . My eyes were hurting , wanting me to sleep , but my hypothalamus in my brain located in my ass ( oh no, just kidding ) just did not allow me to do so . I might stay in my bed for hours with full consciousness up to 4 a.m in the morning .
There was once , I was conscious until 8 a.m in the morning .I woke up and then just fall asleep VERY easily at 9a.m. in the morning . I guess my sleep hours are quite messed up , my hypothalamus is not as intelligent as I thought .It was like having a jet lag .
Lately , nobody could wake me up from sleep , I will either sleep like a dead log or wake with half consciousness and fall to sleep again until 12 noon ( latest) . Normally , my mum's powerful voice or my phone alarm could wake me up .
OK , where was I ? back to the story , the dream began( wait , was it a dream ?) I woke up from sleep , I'm not sure if i woke up anyway , but I was conscious .I can see things around me in the room . My eyes are supposed to be open , I guess , but I can't be sure .
I could see someone standing beside my bed , I just saw its lower body , mainly the torso . I have the feeling that it's my brother . I forgot what he said to me , I guess he was trying to wake me up from sleep because it was really late . It was between 12.30 p.m. to 1.25 p.m.
I tried to get up because my mom would be back home for lunch at 1.30 p.m. usually . I didn't want to get scolded by my mom for sleeping at this hour . Oh wait , I couldn't move . I tried to lift my head / back to get up but I was like glued to the bed with a generous amount of SUPER adhesive glue .
Maybe my head was heavy or what I dont know . So, I tried to lift my arm instead and I just could NOT get out from the 'glue' that trapped me in the bed . What was happening ? I'm trapped , I'm trapped !
Trap Music Video - Henry ft. Kyuhyun & Taemin
Oh wait , this video is random . And NO I'M NOT A FAN OF KPOP , but this song is nice =)
OK , BACK HERE , this is a no laughing matter .
I tried to call my brother as he was there to wake me up just now . He was walking away , out of the room , I tried to call him to help me . I was trapped . I opened my mouth but there was no voice . I can't talk , I can't move, I can't make any noises . I was like in a vacuum space , or am I in another dimension ? That was hella creepy . Nobody heard me including myself , I was dumb at the moment and dumbfounded of course. I tried to scream as hard as possible but to no avail .
Feeling vulnerable and helpless , I struggled hard . I tried to lift my arm , with all my force until I felt a slight pain in my arm but it was a wasted effort . My body felt really stiff and I couldn't move AT ALL . I had zero idea what the hell was going on .
Where was I ? in my brother's bedroom , not in hospital or elsewhere that no human on earth would ever wish to go ( if you know what I mean) . That gave me a slight relief , as I was stuck in a place that I was familiar of , but I was really anxious , not knowing what was happening . Was it the end of the world or what ? Was I paralysed ? I was terrified to the max . It was all so sudden .
Wake Me Up- Avicii
Seriously , if Avicii was right in front of me , I still couldn't get out of my bed , I had no control over my muscles , my limbs at that moment
I feel asleep or 'asleep' again and stopped struggling . I'm not sure which it was . After a while , I regained consciousness again , this time , literally conscious . I was thinking it must be really late , mom will be so pissed off if she found out that I was still sleeping . I just got up right immediately when my heart wanted me to, this time my brain did not deny what my heart wanted . I could move , I could speak .
I realised I fell asleep after my brother went to work , that means I was home alone when I was experiencing all this . Wait , who was that I saw beside my bed ? I thought it was my brother . I asked my brother whether he went back home to grab his things later on that day and it was a negative answer from him. That means I was either hallucinating or it was someone else . He was not actually there ! Creepy to the max ! #OMG
Anyway ,THANK GOD I could wake up again , I was really afraid that I couldn't wake up again . I thought my life would just end there , I'm so grateful that I could wake up again and do my things as usual . This make me realize that life is very fragile, you wouldn't know when you will lose it . Appreciate life , thank god for not forgetting to wake you up everyday !
The first thing I did after getting outta the bed was to search it in google . I realised I was not the only one that went through this . People were reasoning this from the most ridiculous way to the scientific way .
Explanations / Reasoning
Chinese believes it was a condition called 鬼压床 ，which means ghost holds someone to the bed , not allowing you to move.
Some sources from the internet explained this condition by relating it with demons and jinns ,trying to possess someone .
Scientifically it was a condition calledsleep paralysisa phenomenon in which a person, either falling asleep or awakening, temporarily experiences an inability to move, speak, or react.It is often accompanied by terrifying hallucinations ,such as an intruder in the room ( which explained why I saw my brother in the room )to which one is unable to react due to paralysis .
I'm really not the only one !
I'm more convinced that the third reasoning is true and chose to believe that . The first and second ones are way too creepy .
Live life to the fullest , nobody knows when is the last day of their life , YOLO , you only live once , appreciate your time and make every second counts
" Let me live today like there is no tomorrow,
regardless of how many tomorrows I may or may not see."

It gives me a cringe whenever I recall back my experience learning how to drive. Just want to share my experience here .
If you read about my previous blogpost , you know I am one of the latest among my friends and acquaintances to get my driving license and you know why ! I heard their experiences , describing their driving instructor as friendly , humorous , patient or loquacious , nosey and impatient . Good or bad , all those seems okay to me , at least it's within my tolerance level .
Fast & Furious Nerd Shocks Driving Instructors by Maxman TV
Well , I believe everyone has watched this viral video which already has 30 millions of views on youtube. Many people said that the man named Alex in this video was not qualified to be a driving instructor due to his attitude .Negative comments towards Alex were all top comments ! Well , you just gotta see how was my driving instructor compared to Alex , keep reading !
No choice so I was learning with this driving instructor that had taught my mum and my bro to drive. I have heard a lot from my brother before hand , so I thought I prepared enough , mentally .What I heard from my brother was not all !
How he annoyed me ,
1. Being Loud
" He might not hear well due to his age , so he had to be loud when he was speaking . Okay I understand " , this was how I comfort myself at that time to make myself feel better . Born into a family with family members used to speaking loud ( my mom , auntie, uncle and my grandma ) All of them speak very loudly , and I'm pretty much immuned to high decibels , high frequency and high amplitude sound waves .Do the maths , just imagine how loud this terrible driving instructor is when he was scolding me. It was a miracle my ear drum was not pierced by his loudness yet !
2. Being loquacious
Nagging at me again and again . I really don't mind if those words are helpful and make sense ! I think he had a script doing this , nagged at me the same thing for umpteen times ! He was even nosier than a woman , sorry for being mean , but this is the truth .When I related this to my brother , I found out that he nagged the same thing to my brother too ! Here were some of his classic words that are still stuck in my mind .
" I've been driving on the road for 46 years , teaching people how to drive for 43 years ! "
" Listen to me , you won't be wrong !"
" Tell me why !"
" In Kuantan , if it hasn't reach 10 000 , I'm sure I had taught 8000 Kuantan folks how to drive !"
"It's so hard to teach you since you don't listen to me. "
Hello ? how do you expect me to digest all your words in such a short time when you are so loud and loquacious and I have to control the car at the same time . I'm trying my best to listen to you and digest your words please !
told him I wanted to postpone my driving test but he convinced me for approximately 1/2 hour from his curry mee theory till his tuition theory till his experience teaching a 60-year-old old lady to drive ! I've decided to follow his arrangement at the moment he told me better not to postpone it , basically the 29 minutes of lecture was totally unnecessary .
3.Having a bad breath
I'm totally okay if you have a bad breath but just shut your mouth and better don't speak so much. Having a bad breath , and continue to nag at me without a single feeling of embarrassment . I really had a hard time holding my breath and try my best to just breathe through my mouth . His breath was like someone who just woke up from their bed without brushing their teeth ! Yes, keto bad breath is what we called it informally ! Yaiks , disgusting and i'm about to barf if I continue imagining that .
4. Being unreasonable
And people said women are unreasonable , think twice ! My driving instructor is a man . It wasn't easy , I just kept quiet the entire session , just let him go on with his accusation and stuff .
-Accusing me of being recalcitrant, not listening to his instructions intentionally (I was trying my best to listen to him while I struggled to 'manoeuvre' the car ).
-Tell me to ask him if I forgot the route , scold me when I ask , scold me too if I don't ask .
5.Being rough
Rough but never used profanity . Rough in his actions . When I step on the clutch but I didn't fully step on that thing . His foot would just cross over to my place and step on top of my foot to step on the clutch with all his force . Thank God my nails were not broken , I thought it would . That's why I always wear black shoes ,just in case my foot bleed , so nobody would see it . Another reason is because those pair of shoes are my school shoes , so I would not feel wasted or anything even if he damaged or spoiled my shoes .
Stepping on my foot was already painful , imagine how it felt when he stepped on my foot with all his force !
6.Being Impatient
I wonder how has he been teaching all his students in the these 43 years if he loses his cool so easily ? Shouldn't he be more understanding and considerate ? I'm a newbie on the road and it's his responsibility to teach me . He expects every student to be perfect when they start to learn driving , crazy.
7. Never turn on the air conditioner
I was sweating like I just came back from a marathon . I was sweating profusely so I decided to wear my hair up . I just don't care how I looked anymore . He turned off the air conditioner once I get into the car and it really turned me off =( . Each session was like 3 hours or more , and that means I have to endure the heat and sweat for 3 hours . Nice one , burnt a lot of calories , 'thank you' .
8. Never wind up the window / windows are opened at all times
To prevent us to die from asphyxiation , of course he did open the window . Driving from my house to the driving school was horrible but at least I didn't have to endure the heat and perspiration because I was driving and the air was rushing in through the window . On my first lesson , I just let my hair down . My hair was in all directions as the air rushed in and it poked my eyes , it hurts and I can't really open my eyes ! As a newbie , I'm thankful that I'm able to do 2 things at a time. I have to remove my hand of the steering to get my hair out of my eyes , put them behind my ears .Fortunately , he didn't scold me for that. On my second lesson , I wear my hair up and used a hair band to hold my hair in place . My hair still poked my eyes but it was much better .
I was in the car like this .
9. Two-faced creature
Laughed like a hyena when he was speaking with his friends , but kept wearing that strict face when he was teaching . ok , enough said , I know this is not fair to him . Sorry.
I know he has his reasons for behaving that way to me . I totally understand that he had to be rough , impatient or nosey because his life was at risk ! It's always better to prevent rather than cure . However , this experience really traumatized me , I'm not sure if I am okay to learn driving ever again !

In Malaysia , you're old enough to get your ass on a motorbike at 16 , legal to drive a car at 17 . As for me , I got my driving license at 18 . An aries baby but the delay was because of a lousy excuse - I wanted to focus on a major academic exam first .( final year in high school/secondary school) The process was really long and time consuming . Continue reading and I will tell you all the procedures from tip to toe ! Before that , I graduated from a driving school named PMC, Sungai Soi in Kuantan , Pahang . PMC stands for Pusat Memandu Cermat ( Careful Driving School ) And if you want to laugh , Click here , it's about my driving instructor and it is to entertain you !
1. Register myself
I was told to pick a date ,only on Saturday ( for my driving school ) to attend a talk .
2. Attend the talk
The talk lasted for 6 hours ( 9.00 am - 5.00pm) with lunch break in between.
We were given a textbook which includes the theory , rules to obey while you drive.
The talk was boring and I don't think it was necessary , seriously .
It was to summarize or to hightlight the important elements in the textbook .
Just flip, ain't nobody got time to study using the textbook , it's too bulky .
We were told to buy a mini Q n A book which consists of 500 Questions only at RM5.
That mini book is good enough to make you pass the theory test with flying colours.
4. Take the theory test
Contact the relevant party a few days before to book the date you would want to take the test .
The test was done on a computer in a room with many computers and partitions .
The test was easy if you have common sense .
Even though you have common sense , you still have to study(at least the mini book ).
Passing mark is 42/50 , if you have common sense and you read up the mini book , your score will NORMALLY ( I can't guarantee anything ! ) range from 47 to 50 .
You will have more than enough of time . I checked twice and I only took less than 1/2 hour to finish it . Time allocated was like more than an hour （ I forgot ).
Be sure you obey the dress code , collar tee with sleeve , long pants and shoes /sneakers .I got fined for RM2 for violating that .
5. Wait for the issuance of L driving license
L driver license is the learner's driving license , you need this to learn driving legally .
The wait is like one month.
Once the L license is issued , start learning as fast as possible before it expires ( 3 months) , in case you fail the test, you skip the hassle of getting another L license (not expired yet ) to learn driving again.
6. Driving lessons in the driving school (track)
According to the law , time allocated is 5 hours and 30 minutes. ( You have to pay extra if it exceeds 10 hours)
You may discuss with your driving instructor for the suitable time to attend the lessons .
Supposedly , the lessons are conducted individually but some are in groups for the convenience of the driving instructor
There are six things you need to learn and pass in total .
i) Z track
the space is narrow , tougher compared to S track , turn the steering as soon as your car pass the kerb ( the pointy part of 'Z')
ii) S track
more space , easier to control your vehicle .Moved forward while looking at the centre as a reference point to stay in the middle of 'S'
iii) Parallel parking -
park inside the yellow line.
iv) Three point turn
there is a space shaped like 'L' , move forward into the vertical part of the 'L' , stop , turn the steering to the right and reverse into the horizontal part of 'L'.
v) Ascend and descend a hill
accelerate up the hill , stop in the very bold yellow line /box indicated by two poles , free the gear , pull up the handbrake . Next, change to 1st gear and step on the accelerator until the engine sounds very loud , release the handbrake and followed by releasing the clutch , move forward down the hill WITHOUT descending backwards
In short , to pass this part of the driving exam , you shall not hit the kerbs or dividers , et cetera . Stop when you see the stop (berhenti ) sign or a traffic light. Use signals and never descend BACKWARDS while you're on the hill. While doing the tasks above ( except the hill part , you're suppose to use clutch - control and the accelerator shall not be used.
vi) Car inspection before driving (RPK & RSM)
Inspect the car inside and out .
[Inside]Check the hazard lights , meters , mirror and so on .
[Outside] Open the frontal bonnet , you must be able to identify the things inside and inspect them . Open the car boot and check if the equipments are present and functioning well . Check if there are any dents, cracks ,damage or leakage .
I suggest you to record a video while your driving instructor is explaining all these to you , because there are too much things to remember , you might forget when you are having your driving exam !
Here's a video of RPK & RSM uploaded by someone on facebook , uploaded into youtube version by another someone . I do not own this video.
7. Driving Lessons on the Road
According to the law , time allocated is 10 hours .( You have to pay extra if it exceeds 10 hours)
There are two routes , either one is chosen during your test .
Remember the routes , familiarize yourself with the routes , know where is the stop sign , junctions and speed bumps.
Never let your engine stall while on the road during the test , you might fail it !
Never move too slow or too fast , the examiner will not have the patience , as many others are waiting to be examined . The maximum speed I was allowed to reach is 60 km/h
8. Driving Test
The date for the driving test shall be booked early if not you might not get the dates you want.
Register yourself once you reach your driving school.
Track before road !
For my place , we started with the RPK and RSM thingy , we were called one by one while the others wait in something like a veranda nearby . After that , we were handed over a piece of paper ( for them to fill in the marks) .
Pass the paper to another examiner on the hill , pick a car and just do it , get the paper back once you're done and pass it to another examiner at the parallel parking , wait for your turn.
Once your name is called , go pick another car and do the parallel parking , 3 point turn , Z track, S track all in one shot and park the car in the original position.
Get out of the car and get back your paper to get signed by another examiner , pass or fail .
You will be handed over another piece of paper for the driving test on the road ( instead of track ).
Wait for your turn , pass the paper to the examiner and now impress the another examiner on the road !
You can choose either Perodua Kancil or Perodua Myvi for the test.
The paper given to me after passing my test in driving school, attached with my L license , this is for the test on the road . It's like a checklist . Photo taken with Nokia Lumia 520 .
9. Wait for the issuance of P license
P stands for probation period
I got mine one week after I pass my test .
You can now drive legally on the road !
My P license , I know I look fabulous !!! Photo taken with Nokia Lumia 520.
10. Renew license
Your P license will expire after two years and will be replaced with a competent license if you did not break the laws on the road during your probation period .
Renew your P license within a year once it expires.
