Can you blog about your first experience driving a car, how do feel when you can move that silly box with a slight press of your feet. Can your share the exhiliration etc?

So wanna know how my first driving lesson experience was?

23 February 2010 ; 4p.m. - 6p.m.

The instructor(I don't know if teacher is the right word) came to my house and I entered the car. The super old, faded red Perodua Kancil. He drove me to SKBBS, which was my primary school. It was quite a hill-ish area. And then we got out of the car and switched places.

He told me about the clutch, gears, everything. I took a deep breath, my left foot stepped on the clutch and my right on the gas pedal, the car(aka 'silly box') moved forward. Gotta admit it was quite exciting. Slowly releasing the clutch as it moved forward,

...

BAMM I HIT A DEER.

'OMG I hit Bambi! NOOOO.'

HAHAHAHA okay that didn't happen. There were no deers in my area. XD





So for the next 2 hours or so I drove around, and the scariest part was the roundabout. I hate roundabouts :P So accident-prone.

YES, the car died down a few times. I lost count. HAHAHAH. Once the car even 'died' at the traffic light. I panicked like hell. The cars behind started honking. I feel like shouting
'OI, CAN'T YOU SEE I'M A NEW DRIVER?! See the L sign on this car? You were in my shoes too once! STOP HONKING!'

But of course, being a polite, and good girl I am, I didn't :)

HAHAHAHA.


Er yeah. That's pretty much it. And then at the circuit, do the hill, parking, 3-pointer, nothing interesting. Except there was one time, a cute guy was practicing too. I keep queuing behind him even though there were empty lots available(for the parking). He was quite bad at doing the parking though. TEEHEE. That's all.


ps; practiced driving an auto car with my mom just now. MUCH EASIER TO DRIVE.
pps; FORGOT to mention. I passed the driving test the second time around. YAY :D *do the happy dance*




In my opinion, the best thing you can do is to find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think that the sun shines out your ass. That’s the kind of person that’s worth sticking with.
