YEAH!!!!!
WOOHOO!!! Went to bbdc (bukit batok driving centre) at around 10 to register for the basic theory test. SO WHO STILL WANNA SPREAD THE RUMOR OF GETTING LICENSE AT THE AGE OF 21?? WHO WHO WHO?? Lol. Back to the story. I went there with hoi kan. He’s a “funny” guy.. We reached there and asked for the queue number from the information counter. He than said that he forgot to bring his IC with him. Since the counter said that the waiting time as around 1 hour plus, he decided to go back to get his IC. So, We took bus 188 to chua chu kang interchange and transfered to 302. We reached his house and he asked his dad to pass him his IC. He looked high and low for it but he couldn’t just find it. That’s when his mum came back and helped to search more thoroughly. It only took her 3mins or so to find it. Amazing? NOT. She remembered that the IC has always been with him since he went to hong kong for holiday.
OK. So, we travelled back to bbdc only to realise that my number has been called. I had no choice but to get another number. Haiz. While waiting, I saw Ariff from CSS band. He’s a super big sized guy who plays the tuba and is always cracking jokes. Remember him? Didn’t had time to ask him why he’s here though. But to be meeting him there is most probably either having theory lesson or taking theory test. We waited for VERY LONG and our number has been called. It took quite awhile to be registered but who cares? As long as i’m registered, I can’t be bothered at the time taken to register. Oh, for those who wants to register, bring along your credit card or NETS as they don’t accept cash. The total cost I paid for registering and booking for theory test cost $11.35. After going through all the trouble, we headed home. Only after i reached home. I realised that we didn’t get the theory book. I was laughing my head off when it hit my mind. Oh well, looks like we had to go back to bbdc to purchase the book. That’s all for now. Gtg back to yishun. Bye-bi~
