Okay, From now on... I should stop yapping, pointing and occasionally complain about other people's driving....Driving is serious businessToday, i took my first driving lesson... As i didn't really have enough sleep from the traveling the previous day.. The instructor park in a quiet part of a Petronas station, and i began my class...
In half dazed mind, i was instructed to get familiar with the controls, stepping around between the 3 peddles of the car.. Clutch, Brake, Accelerator (minyak), Clutch, brake, minyak, clutch, brake, minyak, clut- again and again.....
After leaving me there to meddle between the peddle for about 20 minutes... The instructor came back to start with the basics of moving front and back.... More clutch, brake and minyak again i thought.. Then he said: "Don't touch the minyak!!!" Uh.. Okay... Then release more clutch... BRAKE!!! moving the car up down, up down for another few minutes....
He then said "move up to the street" I was like.. WooOt!? First day?? on the street??? OMG!!! Luckily,(for the pedestrians) We just moved to a local parking lot which was a common place for driving practices...
Started with 3 point turn... Move, until the second pole.. Then turn right. Stop. Reverse. Stop again.. Then move out of the box.. Yippie... First try done without any glitches... 2nd round.. He called for a stop.. then got out of the car.. and call me to repeat the last few steps...
Okay.. Move..... Right..... Brake!!!!... Still not reach the pole yet...... Then reverse...... urm... reverse??? move?? *stomp on the clutch and release again* Puff!!! Mati engine...
From then on... The first day practically went down the drain.. Continues in circles and trying that darn 3 point turn for the umpteen time... Yet... I'd didn't get it right like the first time....
As my facial expression started to change, signs of struggling with the 4 wheel machine became more and more obvious.. More over, the Gods decided to shine on me today.. Giving me no less brightness of the sun.... Sweating and Stressed up in that small vehicle... The instructor came and said: "Er.. Sit to the other side a....."
The class ended there... Without much satisfaction of driving... I was sent back to office...
Next class :
Changed to Monday at 10
---Spell Checked---
