first hand account of discrimination

i have always appreciated and loved the beauty of singapore. but today, i felt super super very extremely unjustified.

so i failed. i had made all the mistakes that i do not make on usual normal lessons. i dont know what had happened. many said it must be my nerves. some said they just hate private candidates. oh well, i am actually okay with the fact that i failed because i screwed up. yes, i had accepted the fact.

what i cannot come to terms with is the fact that the tester's supervisors did not even bother to attend or help me with my little small appeal to have an earlier retest day. hey, if i want to have a retest soon, does not it show that i am sincere and willing to learn? i do have valid reason for my appeal. i am flying off to usa for a year on the 12 feb and the earliest available test date is at the end of feb. yes, i do understand that i can continue my learning when i am back in spore. but why bother to start everything all over again when they are fresh in my mind still. fuck.

what pissed me off was the first question he asked me was whether i was a school or private candidate. immediately after my reply, it was a no no no to every single question and appeal that i made. i told my instructor and he also felt the same way too. he said did u show him the official document that states you are flying off for job training on 12 feb? oh well, he did not even bother to ask me for it. he claimed it is personal so i need to settle on my own. thanks ah. if u are willingly to pay for the damages and losses incurred due to the delay, i am pretty fine with it. did he look at his records to see if he can free a slot for u because the book will contain all the free days but not all will be released online? no, he kept saying no no no.

if that is the way how school vs private candidate works, i am so ashamed to be a sporean. why would such discrimination exist here? this is an OBVIOUS case of biasness and the school still claims that school and private candidates are treated fairly. fair my foot.

i am just being prideful over this whole thing now. i am fine that i failed and there is a high chance that i have to take the driving test in usa. but i cannot accept the fact that i am deprived of the chance for my appeal to go through just because i am a private candidate. come on, let's be fair for once and let my voices be heard. damn you school.
