[[Juz another stupid day]]

I hate Mondays.

You bet I do.

Nothing seems to go really right on Mondays. Firstly, I was a little late for my bike test today. Managed to run to the driving centre juz in time. But what really annoyed me was that the shuttle bus arrived at the driving centre at about the same time as I did.

I actually decided to travel on foot from the MRT station, assuming that I would be able to reach the driving centre in 10 minutes. That was around 7:40am. And because the shuttle bus only arrives at the MRT station at 7:50am, which was the time I had to report, I skipped the bus.

And ended up getting myself profusing in my own sweat as I reach the centre. How dumb.

Anyway, I didn't manage to pass the test. Now now, I know everyone must be thinking of what kind of excuses I'm going to come up with. As one of my coursemate, Val, once told me:

Everything you say seems like rubbish, but they actually sound logical at the same time.

Somewhere along those lines.

So below are the reasons...I mean, factors, that resulted in me failing of my first bike test attempt.

1. Fatigue

I didn't managed to go to bed until 2:30am in the morning. This was because of staying up to watch Manchester United vs Newcastle. In case you can't fathom a link between me and soccer, please kindly look to the left of your screen and read what I wrote under "My Adores".

Anyway, I only had 4 hours of sleep prior to the test. Actually, I don't need a lot of sleep. Juz like the great Napoleon, who reportedly slept only 4 hours a day. He believed that it was the quality, and not quantity, of sleep that matters.

Ahh...how great minds do think alike...

But I don't regret this factor of mine, though. Because I witnessed (live) what I believe would be the goal of the season by Wayne Rooney. Man...it was an absolute rocket. Simply unstoppable.

2. Loss of concentration

The primary reason why I didn't pass my bike test was because I incurred an immediate failure during the circuit test route. I couldn't manage to travel through the narrow plank for more than 6 seconds. In fact, I had barely got my bike onto the plank before it went off.

As one of the testers told me, I had loss concentration and should had focused my sight further.

I do admit that I loss concentration slightly at that moment. It's strange that my mind would have wondered somewhere else for even a split second. Maybe it was the hot sun that seemed to be sucking all the moisture I had left in my body. Maybe it was because I was wearing a smaller helmet than usual. Maybe it was because before I left home, I didn't see one more time the picture of...

I think I'll juz leave it as that. *bleahz*

3. Wanting to pass my driving test first

All right, I know this sounds totally absurd. If I had wanted to pass my driving first then I could have booked my bike test later right?

Truth is, I wanted to do that. But at the time when I was booking my bike test, I was simply too excited about the prospect of it that I forgot all about my driving test date.

But why the hell do I want to pass my driving first?

A simple reason. Because my parents don't know I'm taking bike lessons, stupid. If I pass my driving first, the back of my driving license would state I'm qualifed to drive Class 3C vehicles with no mention of anything about Class 2B yet. By the time I pass my riding (which, I had presume, after my driving), I need not have to show my license to my parents again and they will still only remember I pass my Class 3C.

Am I a genius or am I a genius?

Oh well...geniuses are humans too. And humans make mistakes.

And yes, I really learnt something precious today.

Never fail to properly motivate yourself before you hit the big stage. Motivation really works wonders.

Darn...if only I had switched on my com for a few minutes and see the picture of...

Oops. *shuts mouth*

Hahaha...till the next time, guys. Take care! *sMiLeZ*
