  My TP is tomorrow... My stomach is really churning now. I hope I can fall asleep tonight man.
  
  Anyway, if you're not confident of your circuit courses, you should book more revision lessons. Practice makes perfect!

  Parallel parkin ah...
  
  Hmm...
  
  Ur positionin of the car mus be correct... Ur car nearer to the kerbside on the left...
  
  Make sure u do the safety checks... Fail to do safety check - 4pts
  
  Reverse when the pole appear behind, to ur left full lock...
  
  Stop n check ur front, right, back - safety check
  
  Then look ur side mirror, right, the pole appears, 2 rounds to ur LEFT!!!
  
  Then the pole appear infront of the car, full lock to the LEFT!!! Tis v impt coz always forget...
  
  The car will now swerve in... Stop...
  
  Adjust ur car by movin forward abit... n straighten ur car at the same time u move forward... straghten by turnin 2 rounds to the right.
  
  FREE GEAR HAND BRAKE!!! If tester keep quiet, tell him u r ready... If he ask u move off as soon as u park finish, jus go ahead, no need free gear hand brake... Tis applies to vertical parkin also.
  
  Ur clutch technique very impt... Do it very slowly, esp when u seein ur side mirror tat part... U miss the pt if u go to fast... usually use 1/2 clutch, tis use 1/4 clutch tat kind of power or slowness... Hmm... N hor, mak sure when u turnin the steerin wheel tat time the car is movin... else will deduct marks....
  
  Relax relax, dun gan giong, do carefully... don knock down poles if possible...
  
  S-course:
  
  Hmm... jUs mak sure u check ur blindspot before u go in... Safety check...
  
  Then hor, jus follow the pointer ur inst teach u... U first go in, half clutch technique... do v slowly... hmm, keep the car in the center... then u reach the most curvy part, whereby the car cannot keep to the center liao rite, u adjust ur car to suits the curvage can liao lor... Usually u will steer to the left side if i not wrong....
  
  Crank course:
  
  The same, check blindspot b4 u go in...
  
  Do slow, half clutch...
  
  The turnin pt mus be somewhere around ur body tat area then u turn... don turn too early or too late...
  
  Vertical parkin ah:
  
  UR postion of the car is that the ERP thingy sittin on the center line or white line...
  
  Then u reverse the car... U full lock when u see the pole appears from behind... U stop... U can see a samll triangle lik tat...
  
  check front, right n back...
  
  Continue reversing, u see big traingle form by the pole, u 2 round to the right, small triangle, 2 rounds to the left... u will then go inside the parkin space...
  
  Then u see ur side mirror, adjust 2 rounds to right to straighten... then u go in n stop can liao lor!
  
  Slope:
  
  Mak sure don roll back...
  REmember to stop at the line in the center there... use handbrake hor
  Mak sure go up is gear 1...
  Don forget there got a kinda of stop line
  
  Gd luck!!!
  
  Don forget tis pointers:
  
  STop line, die die mus stop
  Don qiong red lights, amber, or flashin... Approachin road junctions, cover foot brake, get ready to stop.
  Always check ur blindspots
  Change lane make sure is safe... usin ur rear mirror is a must!
  Stop b4 yellow box junction.
  Speed limit is 50 only... don go too much beyond... mayb 55 acceptable... or else immediate failure. unless got indicated lah...
  Zebra crossin always look out for people!
  
  Luck luck!

  Anywae, dunno u guys wanna try it out not...
  
  Coz first test very hard to pass de... Chances v slim lor...
  
  So... Hiong hiong abit... Drive as though as u tot u fail liao lor... Deem it a failure when u tak ur test... coz is very high possiblity...
  
  U first test, nervous nervous... they langi don want pass u...
  
  Me, first test, nervous, slow slow, careful careful, end up failed...
  
  2nd test, hiong abit, but careful n alert... passed...
  
  Coz wat they want to see is tat u can drive lik a qualified driver... mus be confi, cannot over confi lah... wait say u too proud, than go break ur ego...
  
  U mus be lik careful, cannot overly careful... see things slow slow, do things slow slow, cannot too hiong so la.mus show u careful... in other words, jus be average lik tat... think u qualifed liao, but of coz more careful than when u really qualified lah...
  
  u qualified, drive how so can!

  Heehee, thanks for the well-wishes and advice, everyone. For me, the circuit courses already practised a thousand times, so know what to do but the only thing is cannot be too gan jiong.
  
  My instructor's only advice for me is to STAY CALM, BE CONFIDENT. A bit hard, but I will try... *takes a deep breath*
