I failed my 1st TP test...

The title says it all... Now there is seriously no point in living man, especially after my instructor resumed his fucking ways and tormented me with his scoldings. I didn't mind the part about scolding on my errors, because they are definitely there, and had to be corrected.

But there are also parts of scoldings where it sounds like he was working overtime for 5 weeks, and was expecting some monetary bonus from my TP pass or something like that. That, really turned me off.

Some people might be wondering how I failed the TP.

The story was something like this...

From the the start of the test period, I was already in bad luck... One of instructors was holding the test papers in order. In a careless sense of anxiety and nervousness, I took the paper without asking. The instructor recording the test, called for the next person (supposedly me) to take the test.

And because my test paper was with me, I was not called next. Then this created a mix up, and mixed feelings. The person who was called was shocked that it was his turn, and was also in a bundle of nerves, a worse state than me. Of course, with that, he failed, and blamed me.

The tester, found out about the mix up, and was apparently angry. This totally destroyed the mood of the first half of the test, and got me, in a worse state as well.

12 minutes into the driving test, some thing like this happened...

I was travelling at 30km before, but my heart wasn't really on stopping and slowing down... until....


Believe me, I was travelling at 30 km/h

The traffic light turned amber. Then I braked. HARD.

The result?


And the honking begins

One hell of a time, one major fault, and 8 minor demerit points (11 points to fail, at least one major fault to fail.)

Sianz.... Hope I don't screw up for my second test. But the hell, I don't think anyone really cares about the result anymore, because it's the second attempt.

Anyways, back to last week's post. Remember I was telling you about the layout of the Hard disks now? Here we go...

This was the layout of my hard disk before my 60 gig crashed.


before HDD crash layout 

The two disks are in the holding trays, screwed. But the 60 gig disk is under the maxtor 40 gig disk, and it caused a lack of ventilation. Of course the disk crashed. Then I redid the design.


after hdd crash layout 

I flipped over the 60 gig hard disk, and made it upside down. Ventilation issue is solved, but the 60 gig HDD is now suspended is mid air, supported by 4 screws, without the additional support of the tray holder.

But it solves the problem!
