Tayar pancit

So effing embarassing to have your tyre flat when you were having a driving lesson at a main road. We didn't realise it till someone horned at us and made some gestures.

It happened just when I was going to turn into a lane which would lead to a junction. It's quite hard to describe but basically, I had to stop in between two lanes. On my right side is the main road, and on my left side is a side-tracked road.

Then my instructor called other instructors to help us. A policeman who drove past then helped us to change the tyre. And all bruneians would stop and look when they saw a big police car stopped in the middle of the road and got disappointed when it's just a 'tayar pancit', and not some road accidents.

Even the policeman said if it were an accident, everyone would roll down the window and ask for more details. Then all the instructors were a little bit hyper. They exchanged quick burst of brunei malay and made the gestures to slow down the traffic, as if they were the police, while bellowing, "PERLAAHAAAANNN!!!!"

I think this is the first time I heard Bruneians mummies burst out brunei malays. I've just realised most of the brunei malay words ended with 'a'.

Then one of the instructors parked her car on the other side of the side-tracked road so basically that road was trapped in between two driving-lesson cars. So all cars had to slow down no matter what. And for some reason, it happened to be quite busy with a number of trucks. SO EMBARASSING!!!

Like I totally refused to get down from the car until I really had to.

And it was not a good day because it rained and there was a road block at where I had to drive repeatedly.

My driving test will be on this thur. Wish me good luck mates.

ps nowadays I saw license plates 4444, 666, 6666. wtf...
