Driving...
quick update on my past 2 lessons.
3rd lesson started on last sunday, 9.30am. woke up damn early to be ready and not to be late. headed down to yck to meet him. same lesson again which includes turning left, right and U-turn. engine dead once during the u-turn there as there was this lorry turning, preventing me from u-turning. Geesh. I just stepped on the brake, forgetting the clutch. duh. afterwhich, everything was smooth and he has not failing to stop talking. oh ya he suddenly asked me to turn right at about 10.45am. and came this up slope, which i just ram the accelerator. =x and turn right. AND I SAW TRAFFIC LIGHT. he expected me to drive back. nervous me. =[ he said cause in the morning, the cars very little so he allow me to drive back.
it was NOT fun at all when driving in the road especially when there was so many red lights. my legs are crazy stepping here and there. Clutch -> Gear 1 -> acce -> clutch -> Gear 2, blah blah blah.. kind of regret to choose manual eh. when it turn green light, my car can't move cause im not ready yet. haha. but he slowly guide me thru. there was sometimes that i too messed up. that i kept ramming the acce. hehe. and finally i managed to drive back to yck of course with the great help from him. and guess what. She was luffing at me while waiting for her turn. humph.
home sweet home. napped till 2pm. then head off to mama house for mahjong session. don't know why tat day, everyone is crazy, almost every round was all limit. first round, daddy won the game but have to pay all, as eng saw he ate wrong card. third round, my tiles "bao" 东 but eng not scare still throw, and i "pong" happily. I tot i have no chance of winning. and guess what. I ZI MO! hoho. 6 tai. $_$ $13++ she paid all. =x everyone was making big cards. there was this time tat i gotten "小三圆", 9 tai. hoho. so shiok. but afterall i only won $16++ from a $0.10-$0.20 mahjong game.
okie. ytd lesson again includes turning left, right and U-Turn except that halfway he taught me some reverse. she wished my legs gd luck and told me tat i should be learning reverse ytd, which is true. So reverse gear, let off 1/2 clutch, turn all the way to the right once i saw that small pole standing. and move all the way. return steering wheel back to position. he told me turn one and the half back. i huh. and replied, isnt tat all? he said his english so good, you dunno what is one and the half back? geesh. is the same mah. lol. ok after which, clutch in, gear 1, turn one round of wheel, and 1/2 wheel. confusing eh. i think he teach me till crazy liao. =x ok do this for abt 5 times i think. then we back to normal turning for abt 2-3 rounds. AND THE SAME THING. traffic light. HELLO. IT's 7.45pm and there should be many cars. OMG. but ytd quite a few cars nia lah. BUT i still worry. =[ getting ready for clutch and stuffs. haha. came to this junction (down slope) the road printed SLOW. but i saw since it was green light, so i just want to DASH the road lah, if not later red light, mafan. so i ram the acce. then kanna scold. HEY IT WROTE SLOW. =x i told him my reason, he say sure minus point liao. hahaha. bth..
i think that's abt it bah..
