Petite. Have weight issues(overweight that is). Funny (the last time I checked). Bad Words are part of my vocabulary. Obsessed with Hollywood hunks. Fierceee(high possibility..)
Third day of car practical went well than I expected. Weirdly, I see the road more clearly at night than the previous prac which was in the morning. Well, actually have to blame on my seating posture. That night, I never wanted to stop driving the car, even though I still sucks at some areas. 100 minutes seems so short like that.
But what's more interesting about the lesson, was the conversation I had with the instructor. This guy can really talk anything under the sun. (well maybe the moon for that night, heh) The topic that we talked about is.. RELATIONSHIP. No surprise right, It is always one of the first few topics that you would talk to someone you just met right?
And I always hate it when people always blame me for being choosy when I told them that I've never been in a relationship before. Like come on, hear my part of the story first before making assumption. I'm not all to blame eh.
And he gave the same advice as many others would, "Your time might not come now, you just have to wait patiently" You know I strongly believe in it previously, but then I guess I realize that I hold on to it tightly that it seems to be not working. I can say that I might lose faith in this thing called love. And for once, I really hope I'm bloody wrong.
But hey, for now, 21 years of being single, I think I can handle it for the next few years, or maybe a decade. :)
Ok, I'm going out of the topic now. Back to driving. two practicals for this week. I hope its gonna be good. And I seriously need to master the consistency of starting the car smoothly.
You know, last week when I had my second prac for Car, I learnt on how to do turns. And then, when i was doing my very first sharp turn, I hit the kerb, and my instructor said, "TSK!" Eh Hello, its my first turn wad. I'm a noob at this, sucker. For that next 5 minutes, I hate ONETEAM. This coming Thursday is the next prac. I hope I would be better.
On a brighter note, I passed my Final Theory Test. YEAHHHHHH Like Finally... Been carrying the books everywhere I go for months, finally happy to see it out of my sight
Driving post again. So yesterday... it was my first time learning driving under school. Well.. technically, it was my third time driving a car.
But wait, before that, i want to talk about my e-trial for FTT. took 3 different papers and i FAIL all! Fail by a few marks, I is very pissed!! I'm going to go for more of the e-trial, and better luck next time, I guess. Better pass some of it.
So then, I've got about 50 minutes before my practical. So what to do, CUCI MATA uh, hehehe. You know.. some of the instructors are good-looking! But high potential they are married uh, Lucky wives. So ladies(or men), if you are looking for a hot driving instructor, you know where you can try your luck! :)
And another observation is that I see big groups of young adults waiting for their practical as well. I'm not really sure where are they from, either they are from the police or civil defence. But now I know why there were only limited slots for other students to learn driving. SIBOK jer. Never mind, ONE TEAM for the win!
So before the practical, I went to the toilet twice, nervous breakdown uh, heh. When I went to the car, no "prince charming" is waiting for me at the car, but a chinese, not-so-tall guy was standing beside the car. The moment he talk, I was like, "Yes... his pronounciation is CLEAR"
He was actually a very nice guy and funny too. He really like literally show me how a bad driver start a car, which almost make me flew off the seat,haha.
Not much things I learned yesterday. He only touched on the starting and stopping of the car and turning at a bend. I still feel I need more work on it. Sometimes what I did was excellent but sometimes I did it terribly. I need to be consistent in this. But one thing for sure, the clutch pedal is not that MEAN as the previous intrsuctor's car, woot!woot!
I think I talk too much though during the lesson. In one night I had complained to him about my previous instructor, then talk about my father asking me to take private instead of school, then me rambling about how I always lose in car racing game at arcarde, and how much I hate Paris Hilton. And then I also ask about him and my other permanent instructor. Quite alot eh?
At the end of the practical, he asked "So how is today's lesson? Better than your private one right? cos I more handsome right." Cheesy, cheesy man. But all I can do is just laugh.
Yuhoooo, I'm on MC today. But sadly, its only for one day.
Anyhoo, let's talk about my driving adventure. The last 2 Sunday was my last driving lesson that I had with the private driving instructor. For the 2nd time, I couldn't get what the fuck he was trying to tell me. He should really stop talking to himself man. I didn't know that he was trying to get me do a 3-point turn until it was done.
And when I couldn't get what he was trying to say, in that point of time was to change the gear and turning the steering wheel clockwise or anti-clocwise, I see myself driving the car in the form in the form of "S" shape HAHAHAHAH, epic!
After a few days, I called to inform him about this. And he sarcastically congratulate me for choosing school to learn driving. What the Fuck sia. He should have asked what's the problem, and its not mainly because he was complaining about my short legs that I wanted to stop learning with him. Yeah he did talk about how short my legs were and how dfficult it would be for me to control the clutch pedal, BLAH BLAH BLAH.
So yah, I almost wanted to give up on driving, but decided to take the risk and enroll to school instead. One thing I learn is that if you are going to learn drving for the first time, I suggest, you register yourself under school. It might be pricey, but it is worth it. $160++ for free 3 BTT e-trial session, and 6 free FTT e-trial session. This also includes the BTT and FTT books and also online e-learning. Even if you are choosing private instructor for your practical, I seriously feel this is damn worth the price. Trust me.
I chose to be in this group called ONE TEAM!(I've been shouting the word whenever i say it out) $5 extra for more early slots and also to have a fix of maximum 3 driving instructor to teach me. I really really really hope that I could have a good and nice instructor. I saw one damn good-looking instructor while on the way to register myself. If I had him as my driving instructor, that would be YAWESOME! hehe.
Tomorrow's gonna be my first lesson, I wish myself all the best!
So on Thursday, I start on a new journey, LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE. I have finally decided, after 3 years of the legal age to drive, to take up driving lessons.
So it was either Auto or Manual to learn. And honestly, I have no idea why I even choose to learn manual. When people asked, I would say I want to be a race car driver. Too much of watching F1 i guess, so macam paham like that, haha
And so my first lesson, was in the evening at some roads behind the Comfort Delgro Drving School. Much theory was told, which I don't really mind, cos I was freaking scared to get the car moved. And then after half an hour or so, its time to get the car moved. I know for sure, reading the book is totally way different from what you will be doing practically, You get what all those driving term means.
When the car moved, i was amazed-balls. LIKE WHOA. Happy for that moment.
But then the rest of the driving did not come into pieces at all. I can't coordinate my freaking legs. That is the most irritating thing of all. Then secondly, when asked to change lane, I totally forget to see the mirrors! Seriously asking for accident seh. And then when comes to turn, I don't how much to turn the steering wheel. Stopping is another shiteous thing. I keep on forgetting to simultaneously press the clutch and the brake pedal, And then feel "panic at the disco" when I can't move the gear stick.
But I think there's this eenie-meenie part that I have to blame my instructor. He's like mumbling uh. So I don't know what he was asking me to do sometimes. Everytime i go, "huh?!", lucky its not "what the fuck?!" And when I didnt do what I was told, he do a hand-brake to the car. Hah.
But at least, there's something good that came out from me. 1) When the instructor asked to change lanes or do a turn. My hands are fast enough to hit the signal indicator. 2) I can change the gear level without looking down! :)
I will be learning again later today. I hope with what Faezah had told me about the tactics, I can drive well. Coordination is the key! *cross fingers*
