driving school part I

So, this is the start of my driving era!

I had my first step in getting my license! I did the whole 5-hour talk thing about driving rules and whatnot. By the way, mine wasn't 5 hours. It was just 3 hours excluding the break. And they had the break very early on. We started somewhere at 9 and break at 10! And I was like, is this for real? We haven't started on anything! Not that I'm complaining but...

Anyway, the day started with me waking up at 6.30 in the morning. Which is by the way, the earliest I've been waking up since forever. I had a really hard time just moving from the bed to the shower! haha. Nonetheless, I reached the driving school office right on time. I am doing a campaign and my name is Miss Punctuality! Spreading the words of being on the dot to the other ignorant Malaysians.. haha! In fact, I was earlier than the admin herself! She was about 30 minutes late. Sheesh. Fine fine, I'm always late for outings with friends but this is different - this is WORK alright?

Anyway, while I was waiting for her in the car with my sister, I saw a couple of mat rempits and their girls parking their bikes beside the car. Now, I know I'm biased and look down upon them and pretty much think they're a nuisance to the country and they should all go to the army and suffer and get their heads check before they all turn into criminals or something and breed more mat rempits... But! I seriously don't think they'd wake up at 6.30 in the morning just to hang out and smoke so I'm guessing.. they're a part of the driving school. And they are, I learned later. I was already whining to myself that I'd be joining them and that thought makes me want to quit the damned driving school...

I mean, that's how mat rempits get girls right? First, the girls somewhat get into their surroundings and backgrounds and then BAM! I AM SOME REMPIT'S GIRLFRIEND.

Anyway, finally, the admin came with her husband (who looked more like her father but.. what do i know about love, eyh?) and kid. So, I thought ok, let's go! Then, I saw the mat rempits talking to her and I thought, ok, wow, maybe they're sick of the illegal driving and stuff. Maybe, they want to take license too. Oh damn. I knew this is going to happen. But I didn't know I'm going with them all the way!

For one thing, some of the rempits, are working with her.

To be more specific, they're driving me to the damned driving school in Semenyih.

... OH. MY. GOD. I freaked out when I saw one of the rempits were getting comfy on the driver's seat of the van. It's like, hello, I'm being driven by a guy who gets kicks out of doing stunts on the highway? Am I insane? It this safe? Am I gonna be alive at the end of the day? What the hell? Damn you, Kajang!!

Earlier, my mum told me to memorise the way to the driving school in case something fishy happens. Well, at first I didn't really care because I think my mum was just being paranoid. But even if I did want to, I can't. The place is in some ulu bentara ok. We went through those small kampung lanes and went through fields and fields of green grass. It's like, we're not in Selangor anymore! I've always thought Selangor as a modern place regardless which district. Damn, I am so wrong. When we finally reached the place - I was packed with the rempits and the girls in the van by the way - all I can see is oil palm trees. Yards and yards of palm oil trees. Okay, there is a driving track and a small block of a building but apart from that... I could get killed here and no one will know where I was buried!

Paranoia runs in the family. Oh, the mat rempit drove well. Weird. Anyway, we were late. The lecture had already started but it's not like it's so amazingly important to get every bit of detail.

OOH I MADE A REMPIT FRIEND!

Not. Kidding. It's a girl lah. So, it's still justified and my reputation crystal clear. haha. I entered the class and scanned through the class for empty seats and apparently, there's an empty one beside her. I asked her has the lecture already started and she asked me my name bla bla bla.

Meet Ami. She's such a specimen of the rempit species. But she was decent. Not tomboyish brutal or anything. She's the rempit ayu types that are usually favoured by the mat rempit species for the coupling ritual. haha. But she was nice and friendly and I figured, hell, I might as well make friends if I wanna survive 5 hours of driving theory. And guess what? She's actually very interesting. I swear, she is! I never actually befriended anyone like her. Even the rempit in my school last time was the posh type of rempits. haha. Observe:

Ami: Aku sekolah kat Sri Serdang.
Me: Sri Serdang??
Ami: Sri Serdang! Tak tau Sri Serdang?
Me: Uh... yeah! uhuh..
Ami: Hah. Sekolah vokasional kan.

OH WOW. VOCATIONAL SCHOOL.

I remember I asked my sister once did she ever seen a vocational school or their students before? I mean, I don't think there's a vocational school in Subang even! I always wonder how those kids are and everything. And here she is, a product of vocational school... I feel like observing her every move and taking down notes and prod her with metal pokers. haha. I just feel like researching her! I don't know what's on the white board on the front.

Ami: Alah.. aku hari tu SPM pun dapat A dalam katering ngan seni je.

CATERING? Oh my god, people actually take those subjects for real?? I mean, I still remember my SPM timetable last time where they have exam subjects like Menanam and Menyusun Meja Makan. I was like, NO SHIT. hahah! Me and my Bio tuition teacher used to laugh at those subjects. I mean, they're a joke right? But obviously I was proven wrong here. People actually study, ace and flunk those subjects! Luckily she didn't ask what I get for SPM. It'll be too awkward. I was really tempted to ask her how she did for the Menanam subject though.

Ami: Aku jumpa bf aku kat TV.

Yeah, I know, I was thinking the same thing too. Her boyfriend is a freaking celebrity?? Whoa rempit allure! haha!

Me: TV?? Macam..
Ami: Alah, yang chat TV tu..

Oh. OH. OH MY GOD. She actually do that stuff? I mean, c'mon. C'MON. Those stuff are lame ok? Not to mention wasting money. And plus, I can't believe you can actually hook up from those things! I mean, how does it even work? But! Ami said that she actually met his parents and stuff. Wow... That is serious stuff there. Maybe serious commitments can be found from TV chatrooms? Hey, maybe!

Anyway, yes. That's all I can remember of driving school right now. haha. I know, most of the stuff written here are not about the driving theory itself. I have the JPJ book but I don't have the questionnaire book! So yeah, right now, I'm slaving myself to read the damn textbook. Shit, I have some sort of studying-withdrawal because I can't make myself study it at all! Dang.

Ah well. I need to study so I can get my car, right?

Yey!

-- This is all for now!
