i got mine like 4 years ago, went to register my basic theory the moment i cut my 18th birthday cake. was very very 'gan chiong' for it. haha
after the 2 papers, i took my lessons at SSCDL. after the 25 lessons, i have alot of time before the test. so my mum suggested that i get a private instructor and roam, cuz learning in school can only max out at 50km/hr. my PI let me drove till 80km/hr. haha!
all in all spent around 1.5k if i remember correctly. =)
