A new road bump on the road to my L's
Finally passed my Ls!!! Only they didn't issue a license to me because of problems with proof of identity. The order that my name appears on my secondary proof of identity (bankcard) is different to that on my passport, because of the whole shebang about difference in Asian and Western names. You know, like how Asian names have family name first and given name after while Western names have the opposite?
How frustrating. I really wanted to get my license before returning to Singapore, otherwise I'm bound by the new licensing laws that take effect from July 1 2007, meaning it's compulsary for me to chalk up 120 hours of driving before I get my Ps!
I think I can safely sum up my mood at this point now - FUCK YOU, bureacratic red tape.
Edit: As of 8 December 2006, I'm a Learner Driver! That I managed to get through the bureacratic red tape is a testament to the power of having a shrewish, pushy parent. (Just kidding, my mum was always calm and reasonable).
