Me.
This is like an extension story to My Driving Adventures.
Oh, boy. This June 22nd will be an awkward day...
My dad just had a fight with my driving tutor (an old man) over the phone (I think they've resolved the argument, though...). Well, I made my dad call him whenever needed cos (1) he's the one who found the tutor & (2) my parents paid for my driving lessons. This time, my dad called him to ask him why he's overcharging us (extra RM50) to retake the driving test. Then, he said it was because I owed him 1-hour of lesson. That day, he asked me if I want to have some practice first before the circuit or "litar" test (I dunno if this term is right or not). Of course I went for it (duh!). But I never knew he's going to charge me for that, he didn't say anything about it. And don't start with that You-should-know-it-yourself or *uh!* "the unspoken rules"...if you didn't say anything about it, then you REALLY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING. That's why sometimes I will just ask [back] (even though it's an awkward question) as long as I got their meaning clear because I want to avoid misunderstandings and miscommunication issues. *Geramnya!!!* My dad said he stuttered when he asked for the reason - the tutor was lost in words - and finally said about me owing him.
This is so horrifying. I'm utterly disgusted by these "mata duitan" driving tutors (I believe most of them are like that)... Even though they are so grossly disgusting, I still need them to teach me driving. I'm ashamed to say "I need them" cos I need them against my will. You know they are cunning and 100% sure will swindle you and yet you let them be just because you need them to teach you drive. Mel-chan actually once said I can change my tutor if I want to, but how can I be sure the others aren't the same? It wouldn't be that easy too...
Why can't I have other people who I know teach me instead (like some countries)?
Why don't they have that option here in Malaysia?
I just hope everything ended quickly.
