got license illegitimate. where to go frm here?

daninnjx — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 08:25:28 +0800

I'm going to be turning 18 next month and got my license in May. I got it at a center literally located in the jungle la as my parents arranged it for me.
Anyway, I deal with a lot of nerves while driving and as I'm taking manual I just didn't pass the first time. As the wait time was almost 2 months and I had to go for uni study already my parents made me pay more money for me to pass (all my family members also v traditional and old school) and said it was the way to do it. all in all the license cost around 3k (regret not going to Metro for the unlimited try until pass thing).
my mistakes were, manual:
1st try: managed bukit and z turn, fucked up the parking and hit the curb bc i was rly nervous.
2nd try: didn't get to the top of the yellow line at bukit, and they just asked me to wait for on the road . did okay except for a stall but the officer helped me so Idk la.

i drove often with my mom with a big car ;-; and did fine, made mistakes but overall ok now.
key mistakes I've made:
-for my first time parking alone somehow thought i could do it in a tight busy parking spot and hit someone bc they were zooming past me while i doing my parking ;-; never contacted me despite me giving my number which was weird, maybe he could see i was scared as shit.
-TNG toll booths. 2 times i didn't have money in a busy toll booth. first time was ok i use hand of god to stop traffic to allow me to move to refill booth. but second time i got hyperfocus and when reversing i almost hit the car behind me bc i was hyperventilating already (first time in that situation). anyways they honked luckily so it's all good T-T
-other than that i feel okay driving other than parking in tight spots; I've driven to klang (2 hour drive sometimes), and dealt with heavy ass rain. ;-;

but now I'm dealing with immense guilt and not sure feel like I should be allowed to drive until I get my license legitimately lol. i know yall people are brutal so just lay the hard truth la, be it I shouldn't drive or should just let it revoke my license and do another test. how tf to ppl with kopi license deal with the guilty conscience lol, like all my friends just seem like they don't care.

i literally don't get nervous about anything as much as driving lol (jumped off a cliff before). I'll be back home next month. thinking to get a refresher course for rm700 (got save up a bit of money as I'm working part-time abroad atm). or just look for a driving instructor to drill me until I'm a safe driver on the road. so msg me if u have any contact.

i know some of yall are gonna ask me not to drive but i have to la. gonna be working in the future and don't want to live my life in fear, and just making the courtesy to make sure i'm not a hazard. but if u wanna rant at shit drivers feel free to do so too.

ausmat maths

hello, would like to ask any ex-ausmatians who took any of the math subjects:

Mathematics Applications
Mathematics Methods
Mathematics Specialist

are there any concepts i can teach/strengthen myself before going into the modules? As i didn't take add-maths beforehand i'll likely be in a slightly disadvantage if i didnt. and i rather not rot at home and do nothing HHAA
any resource/ syllabus i can follow helps, just want to make sure that i can be well prepared and not get confused early on

Pre-U for computer science

So basically i am finishing my o-level qualification, and will have to take a pre-university program. I want to pursue computer science at NUS, which would mean A-levels would be the best choice . However, problem is I don't have Add-maths qualification( i realised i wanted to do computer science a year later after picking subjects). This basically prevents me from taking a-levels as colleges like sunway require you to have add maths if wanting to take a-level further maths and maths . I know this is a less recognized qualification compare to a-levels, but i figured the next best alternative is AUSMAT . Although this does me put me at a slight disadvantage and by no means it is an easy pre-university program, I feel like it's my best bet to NUS. I'll be able to take ausmat subjects relating to maths and even do psychology. What are your thoughts? Also would appreciate any ex/current AUSMAT students give review about their experience there. Thank you! any input will be greatly appreciated!
