Busy

Went for my first practical driving lesson on Saturday! Was there about 20 minutes early and was damm shocked to find Soomin there. She was accompanying her uncle who was also taking lessons.

Luckily, my uncle, who works as a senior instructor at the driving school, helped me to find the car that i was assigned too.

My instructor was a small sized malay man named raj or haj or something. He went through with me all the basics of car operation. Including stupid things like wearing your seatbelt and look for cars before opeining the door. Of course he also went through things like how to drive/steer and stay on lane. After about 45 minutes of explanation, it was finally my turn at the wheel.

At first I was not used to the sensitivity of the pedals and braked and accelerated damm hard. It really requires you to be damm soft and slight. A slight depression of the brake will stop the car really hard. If i were to give a number to it, you will probably only need 5% depression to smoothly stop the car from a low speed (below 20km/h).

Once I got the hang of it, I think I drove quite well. Haj even asked me to learn manual cause auto would probably be too easy. Then I gave him some crap reason like no time and not practical. Which actually isn't crap la.... -.-

Slip ups:

-When doing a sharp turn I accidently went to switch on the wiper. Naturally I panicked and went off course. Luckily it was just a little bit, was able to return after that.

-Not my fault, but some idiot from the oncoming lane veered off course and almost crashed into me head-on. luckily my instuctor helped to steer me away.

It was a good result for my first practical lesson and very fun. Can't wait for my next, but earliest basic theory test is 4th of Feb which means I can't do anything till then. Darn...

-----------------------------------

School started on Monday. Damm crazy everyday ends at at least 5:30, to which poly students will probably laugh at. earliest is Friday ends at 3:30. But then again its CCA day which will probably take till 7:00.

Monday was also the first time in my life that i really mugged. Sat down for 5 hours straight to complete my GP homework. Finished a months work in a night. I think I'm superhuman.

Oh ya pool competition at Snooker Zone this Sunday. Teck will be joining too. Wish me luck:)

Okay time to go chiong econs homework.
