I know I haven't been using this blog in the longest time, cause I've been blogging (diligently) at my dayre at dayre.me/dearjoyce but recently I did something that I wanna document every single detail down!
So back in 2009, immediately after my 18th birthday on the 27 nov 2009, my parents told my sister and I that we should take our Class 3 licence and we did! Immediately after signing up online we headed down to the centre at night *yes on the same day on my birthday date* I was telling my dad I wanna take up auto motorcar but he said class 3 will make so much more sense cause I can drive both auto and manual so I agreed, even though deep down I was terrified cause I heard some of my friends couldn't cope with manual cars and they failed their TP test a few times as well.
From the period of Dec 2009 to May 2010 when taking my Class 3, those were the best!! I was looking forward to going for practical lessons, I had so much fun talking to the instructors there and it was just plain fun to drive a manual car. I passed my Class 3 (on my first try!) with a total of 10 points on 26 may 2010, not bad for a girl taking manual motorcar hor hahaha.
You can read my post about the day of my Class 3 TP HERE!
Back then when I was still in poly, wanted to take up Class 2B after Class 3 but my parents had some strong views about it, they stopped me from doing so. And I listened to them and not sign up for it, carried on with my daily life but occasionally the thought of getting 2B will still pop up.
Then after graduating poly I went on to university. My uni's timetable was not fixed and normally is in the afternoon so I kept putting the "take-2B-licence" thought off. Seeing people ride makes me feel damn gian to own one myself hahahaha. Guy friends have been telling me that riding is damn fun, a total different experience. After dragging for another 2 years, I've finally finished my final exams in my entire university life in 1st Sept 2014. I can consider this to be the end of my undergraduate life.
I've always been an introvert, I dare not try out new things by myself, I get scared when trying out something new. That's when I decided to take up a new skill and do something for myself, also I would love to have a form of transport for myself. My sister had taken her class 2b secretly prolly just little over a year and half ago and passed on her 2nd try. My parents knew about it but when they knew about it, she was already at her last few stages of riding so... Might as well let her continue. My mom had also given me the green lights and asked me to buy my own bike, THAT'S IF I CAN PASS MY 2B!
So on 14/9/14 (Sunday), I pre-enroled online and the following day, I went down to BBDC in the afternoon (after a sibei tiring work morning) to enrol physically, paid my fees and went for a quick introduction talk.
WHOOP WHOOPPPPPPPPP!!
Feeling so excited to get started man.
I have to attend 4 theory lessons, BTL 1.01 & 1.02 and RTL 1.01 & 1.02! Luckily I'm exempted from BTT cos I passed it years ago.
On 16/9/14, a day after my enrolment, I checked the BBDC website to see what are the available slots for both riding theory lessons. Seeing there's an available class on the exact same day in the evening, I quickly signed up for it. Although it was RTL 1.02, the centre said the lessons' order don't have to follow strictly. So yes, I attended my RTL 1.02 FIRST before my RTL 1.01.
Went for RTL 1.02 that tues, proceeded to level 2 room 2 and outside the classroom at the waiting area I saw ALL GUYS (I was 10 mins early) and felt damn intimidated?!?! Then we entered the classroom and the guys stared at me as if I'm taking the wrong class or something. In the end there were prolly about 20+ guys and 5 girls (including myself). I know that definitely the ratio of guys:girls will not be equal so I prolly have be buay paiseh and thickskin abit ya ahahaha.
Damn, it's a super lengthy post, I'll keep updating on my progress of taking a Class 2B licence!
