I guess this counts as one of those sleepless nights.. Yep, updating my blog again on one of those nights.. Nothing to do, just come and here and talk cock, okay what!
Just started my driving lesson today! Really beginning my action plan to make this holiday a fulfilling one.. Today I learnt to drive on the road.. Used gears 1-4, handbrake, clutch, pedal brakes, accelerator.. I can totally tell, not easy.. Im learning at literally snail pace cos Im not allowed to drive fast, but I can sense the difficulty to drive already.. So many things to process at one go.. To stop at a junction and turn, you must look for incoming vehicles, release accelerator, clutch in, step on pedal break, change to lower gear, turn steering wheel, release clutch and step on accelerator..
Seriously, the releasing clutch part is the trickiest, cos it's not one of those clear cut things.. When you clutch in, it's straightforward, just step in.. But when you release clutch, fwah.. Must gently release the clutch so that your car doesnt jerk, and also slowly step on accelerator at the same time to move forward.. Hate that part the most..
But not sure how many times I'm gonna stall the engine.. So far so good, once today only.. Cos the instructor just ask me step break, so I step loh.. I din know step break also must clutch in.. Complicated stuff.. Really tests your multi-tasking skills.. Individually, everything thing is simple, but collectively, it's a nightmare..
And I know why people ka lang ka boh when they learn driving.. We all sat on a car before, and we have all encountered cars with L plates, and we know how irritating they can be cos they are so slow! So sub-consciously, I feel pressurized to go faster when I see a car behind, but cannot, cos I learning, then stress, almost KLKB! No joke really.. But overall, it was fun.. Hope to clear it once!
