Yeah.. Thursday went for driving lesson..
Reached there 1/2 an hr earlier..
Im very excited but at the same time oso a little scare+nervous.
Was shaking all over..
Saw Some ppl checking their instructor's photo so i went to check mine too.
-.- In my grp all the 4 instructors that will be going to teach me look so kuku.. Dotss..
This time Im more scare...

Finally, its time for my lesson. Met my instructor. Got into the car. hahas..
Inside the car, in the passenger seat's there's a brake pedal and a horn.. i think instructors will be safe with this kind of fixture.. LOL

He asked me the name of each equip, actually i know what it is but
maybe im too nervous and i kinda forgotten everything.
He explained all the functions to me.
And he also taught me how to change the wheels.
Its then i found out that he hold resemblance to my uncle, abt the way he look.
AS if im talking to my uncle. hahas
This time, had already calm down.

i was then taught which pedal to depress and approximately how much to depress and etc.
The worst part was when he was busy talking and explaining while my left leg was depressing the clutch pedal,
and it is for a very long time already and so i asked him whether i can released the pedal,
BUT he said cannot and he continue talking. -.-

Then he kept asking me to practice on the controlling of the accelerator and the clutch pedal.
But cannot look down so haf to stare in front all the time.
the car wasnt moving cos the handbrake is pulled up.
Kept repeating the process.
He then went to release the brake without telling me..
So the car moved.
damn, i got a shock of my life.

He then asked me if im scare?
I said yarx. Im starting to panick a little.
He laughed..at me and said scare then dun drive lohs. -.-

He said he can controlled the brake and said dun worry and asked me to concentrate on accelerating and reversing.
So i was busy "driving" the car forward and backward in the same area.

then, he ask me to get out of the car again. He took me for a spin around the circuit.
Then it started raining. And when it rain, the floor became rather slippery.
Then he ask me to get out n take the driver's seat.
SO i asked him am i going to drive? He said yes..

I think at that time, my heart is going to jump right out.
But i was determined to drive and i did it!
During the first few rounds, i was busy concentrating on the pedals
and it was my instructor that is controlling the sterling wheel for me..
thinking of it makes me laugh.
He then asked me to change to gear 2 and he asked me whether im still scare and
I said nope. He said fun hars? And i said yars..
He said now im not scare but he is very scare.. LOLS..
And the engine died a lot of times on the road. My first reaction was Ooh-oh and i looked at him and gave him the stunned look.
He quickly said faster start the engine cox there's a lot of cars behind me waiting. lols..

Aft driving round and round the circuits, got pretty used to it.
And it got more and more fun cos the speed was faster and i got
to counter the 4 corners better.
We then changed over, he summarised everything and said i will go to lesson 2 next week.
Then the bell rang(indicating end of lesson), he said thank you and i said thank you back.
He then hurriedly get out of the car and walked away pretty fast.
I haben even got out of my car yet! Cos my leg a bit "jiao ran" lols..

Then I feel a bit giddy too prob dued to the continuous driving around and around the circult. Aft updating my driving statue, left BBDC by the shuttlebus.
Reach Bukit Gombak and had to change to another bus to go to bukit batok interchange.
Then haf to change to bus 61 to go QW then took another bus to reach home..
By the time i reached home, its already 8pm already. And i had a freaking bad headache.

But the driving experience was good!
