Today, i had my very first driving lesson. It was 9.30am in the morning and was raining quite heavily when i woke up, i was like...am i really that unlucky? first lesson only and is raining? by the time i reach SSDC, the rain was not so heavy anymore. I remembered that i did ask my instructor whether the meeting place was SSDC itself and i think the time when he answered mi was busy teaching other students and he said yes. It was 9.30am and he called mi, i still happily told him, ya i reached liao..den he say i didn see anyone leh, till den i realised he was at yck mrt station.
The worse part was not this..after that he drive over to SSDC to fetch me..while waiting i was so excited about his arrival...SO after 5 to 10mins of waiting time, i saw this white lancer and i immediately assumed that it was his car withour lokking at the car plate...then i saw this guy walking towards that car too, i still thought maybe he was one of his students who is meeting him to pass him somehting or get from him something...i can still happily walk to that car...the instructor of that car was like lokking at mi giving mi that "what does this gal wants" look...when i realised i recongized the wrong car, to prevernt myself for looking like a fool, i went walking back and forth, looking at my watch to create that kind of illusion that i am waiting for someone else...luckily i never went over to open the door and sit at the passenger's seat, or else it will really be the joke of the day..
After 15mins den my instructor arrive, this time round, i checked the car plate before walking over..dun wan to be an idiot again...
He drive mi to Lentor Ave and start explaining things to mi, like how much to pay and arranging many lessons for mi..den he start explaining all the buttons found in the car and the engine thing to mi...he keep asking you know what is this for, wat is this for and what is this for...i was like "you mean we must know all these?" he took out his advance theory book and show mi that it can be found in the book..i was thinking how did i really pass my advance when i dunnoe a single thing he asked..maybe for the turning of the aircon i was correct only ba...haha
After all those theory stuffs, come to the real thing about getting the car to move...before 1/2hr to the end of the lesson , he said "enough of talking, or else you wont get to drive"...i went speechless coz i really dunnoe a single thing lo...i need to adjust my seat all the way to the front when my keen cap already hit the car when i still cant really feel the clutch...and when i rest my hand on the steering wheels,my instructor first reaction was, "you got very long legs although you got short legs!" den he can continue saying, "usually legs short hands also short ma!" -.-" but i forgive him coz i really admit i got very short legs and overall he was a fun instructor who just talked non-stop...
he wanted mi to step on the accerelator to give it a try, i was already so used to stepping on the paddle of a sewing machine when you need some force, so once i stepped on the accrelator, the engine was so loud, i think my instructor nearly fainted ba..alot of times i stepped so lightly that i cant even feel it myself whether i did used any force and he still can say "ya h , like that, very good"..he still said "your legs are very obedient, they listen to you!"
After driving around, i realised driving was really that fun as i did imagine and my right leg was really numb after the lesson coz i need to control my leg to use only so little force..i think by the time i go back to giordano, i cant alter pants liao, the amount of force used for these 2 activities are totally different!
But overall, it was really fun and i really cant wait for my 2nd lesson to come! and is on monday! 3 days away only but is 8am in the morning! no more raining pls!!!
