Driving

Morning called Yh at 9.30am. Was expecting her to pick up the call and say that she was patronizing Krishna at the prrata stall. But no... Lazy bones was still asleep.

Arranged for lunch near her place. Dad's sending me for my first driving lesson.
Wheee....
Anyway, lunch was good. I think the popiah there is good. (Yh, I know you will read this... You know what to do eh? *Hint hint*) Fish soup was ok.

Okok.. My driving. I wanted to go and apply for my PDL before the start of the lesson. The queue was freaking long! Didn't want them to say that just cause I didn't apply for my PDL, I can't take the lesson and my money is wasted. So my lesson was 12.45pm, at 12.35pm I was still waiting for my turn. Darn, I decided to risk it, ran to the information counter and checked if I needed PDL for first lesson. Phew!! They don't need. So I just went to find my car and wait.

Instructor came and blah-ed on some theory stuff. What I should know, how to move off and stop blah blah. Then after that he said, "Ok... Now we shall swap seats, I shall take joy ride while you drive." Yeah... The moment I was waiting for. Hahahaa... So I happily swapped seats and then it was my turn.

Anyway, hands on driving is so much different and more difficult then how I read from the book.
My car stalled for umpteen times.
My feet weren't cooperating. Clutch in, brake.. accelerate. What what, how what??
My braking was damn sudden. The instructor said it was so ungraceful. I should steadily and gracefully brake the car.
My car was dancing hip hop in a jerky way. A frog. As what the instructor described. Its damn funny... I couldn't help laughing.
I kept on ramping on the accelerator like I was in a motor race. Vroom... Vroooommm...

Ohh... Then the ultimate thing happened. I stalled the car and wanted to start it again.
Cranking the engine. Cannot leh.
Instructor: "Turn.."
-Cranking engine.-
Instructor: "Turn harder..."
-Cranking engine again-
Me: "Cannot lah..."
Instructor: "Turn until you cannot turn the key."
-Crank again-
Me: "Max liao max liao... Turn somemore will break."
Instructor: "Orhhh..."

I caused a mini tailback on the circuit. 2 instructors from the car behind had to come out and push car. Wahahahaa... Then it started again. I wanted to laugh at the incident. But paiseh lah.. Hahaha...

My max speed went up to 70km/h on the circuit. *ahem* But that is with handbrake up lah, I was just ramping the accelerator.
Actual max speed I drove was only 20km/h. Wahahaha.. Circuit mah... Cars are so bumper to bumper.

So yes, thats the highlight of my first lesson. Wonder whats install for my second lesson.
