happy because...

i passed the test on first try! so i don't need to care about anything (until months later when i finally take the practical bleh) so i can slack now and play happily for chinese new year, and watch all the dramas and read all the books i haven't dared to touch because of this test!

yeah and mainly because i can suan my kor, who passed the test only on the second try because he didn't study the first time round! ahah the woe of underestimating the final theory test! trust me, it's quite hard to pass if you don't study, so make the right investment (in the practice books) and save more on time and $6(s) for retaking of the test!

an early happy chinese new year to all! ^^

laughter's the best medicine

i have a driving practice book with practice questions for the final theory test, and it has horrible grammar in almost every question/options for answers. it's most likely directly translated from chinese (as there is a chinese translation right underneath the english questions), but that's not the point.

here's the funniest option i've ever seen in the book (and seriously, the book has many funny options)

If your windscreen suddenly shattered by a pebble while driving, you should:-
A) apply emergency brake.
B) break a hole in it with your fist in order to have a clear view in front
C) move slowly to the roadside and stop

obviously the answer is C, but even without the lousy grammar in the question, reading option B is the most hilarious thing i've ever seen in ages!

yeah right im SO going to destroy the entire windscreen and NOT injure myself and then happily continue driving for the rest of the day!

HAHAHA i wonder if the actual test has such stupid interesting options?
