Knowing Your Singapore.

Nowadays, there is a debate on knowing your Singapore. As there are many foreigners taking up Singapore citizenship and yet most of them which also include the locals, do not have the knowledge about Singapore.

So, South West Community Development Council (CDC) organise a quiz where the locals and new immigrants get together and take part of this quiz.

To the locals, they thought it is easy for them but when the question being asked, they could not answer and it is surprised that the new immigrants could answer!!

Below are some of the questions to test you if you could know all the answer right. The answers can be found in the next entry.

PDL

Yesterday morning, I boarded the train at Circle Line, MacPherson Station and alighted at Bishan Interchange. Then, I walked to North South Line and boarded the train and alighted Admiralty station and waiting for the free shuttle bus to Singapore Safety Driving Centre (SSDC).

Just then, I suddenly remembered that I forgotten to bring my Student Booklet out with me!! I hope that everything will be fine without the booklet. Soon, the shuttle bus arrived. Guess what, the bus engine died. According to the bus driver, the brake is out of the control and it was dangerous to drive!

I was like.. What a great day for me.. I was discouraged and I am prepared to fail for my Basic Theory Test. I keep on waiting for the replacement bus and hopefully I can reach the SSDC on time.. About 15 minutes, the replacement bus arrived.

Soon, I reached the SSDC and take the lift. Guess what, one of the lift is not working!! When I reached the Level 4, it is about to start the theory trial lesson.

Again, something horrible happen!! The network is down!!! How am I going to do my theory trial lesson? I came forward and took one of the past year paper and do while waiting for the network to stable.

After finished the theory trial lesson, I quickly walk out of the classroom and wanted to take the lift down to ground floor. But, the lift is like so slow!! Finally, the lift arrived!

When I reached ground floor, I quickly walk to the Basic driving theory test (BTT) room and wanted to sit for the test and it is about to start the test!! Phew!!

I do all the 50 questions and I double check my answer before I submit! I thought I would fail the test but I was surprised that I passed the BTT and I could able to apply my Provisional Driving License!

I am so excited!! It is seem I am riding the roller coaster ride!!
