1st time behind d wheel...

1st time step behind d wheel dis yr... got bit of hiccups but shld b ok ba... hope at least can get thru my dad's picky-ness...

jus nw, dad said he need to go work to help see d escort. mum wanna follow him & i decided to go as well. last time, he go late nite we oso follow so dun wan him say i dun wan him le so i tag along. he long time nvr need to go out this time le. think d last time i oso got go & i did help drove a bit then. cos he walked in a long way, i jus drove forward or adjust d position last time.

today, tot would b same but b4 he go out of d car, he told me to drive while d lorry driver reversed in and passed me his remote key. i long time nvr drive at nite & i rarely drive at night. so i nvr on d headlights. oopss... luckily d polices left alrdy...

s i nvr notice d headlights, d lights for d gear is not on. & i more used to manual gear, i had difficulties figuring out the position for 'D'. on d light in d car to see den i managed to drive. hehe... halfway in, i realized i got no headlights & i on it immediately so not tt bad cos i not at d rd outside. i was at tuas. ulu ulu place. hee..

at d end of d rd, managed to reverse by doing 3 pt turn. i dun think i do tt b4. noe theory but practically nvr try b4. mayb oso cos nw i used a side rd to help. last time (yrs back), i failed to do so & strike d kerb... luckily not exam then or i'll kanna 10 pt... ;p

anw, dad go take my seat (passenger seat) & he asked me drive back. mum swop place w him so tt he could guide me the way, etc. think i alrdy hack care & jus put in my 胆 to drive le. last time, i might panick but ever since my cousins dare, i think it stimulate my 胆 to work rather than to panick. haha...

anw, easy to go back. jus straight all d way to ntu thr & fr thr i alrdy noe hw to go hm. cos i been familar w tt rd since jun 03 & nw alrdy 2010. if i still dunno d way, i can go knock myself in d wall le. yet dad still tell me, here can go this lane, etc but mum stopped him. tell him to test me if i really noe d way.

think it's d 1st time i hit d rd near 100 km/hr. cos on d expressway ma. yrs ago cant cos dad drove pickup then. got speed limit of 70 km/hr.

while at cck thr, while trying to cut into d left lane to exit, a car jus chiong forward. luckily i saw & siam a bit. sighed...

aft reachin d carpark, i was worried cos i nvr park at night b4. somemore, my parking skill v bad. last time, i always alight & let my dad park or if i park it'll b out of d lot. only d recent time when i park within d lot cos i always saw dear park by usin d guide of a vehicle. so tt time i tried myself.

this time, i was worried if it would be too dark to see d mirror cos it's late at night. but i jus try b4 i give up. & i managed to park in. i was too right & i decided to go head and adjust but i got confused w d reverse direction for a brief moment again. managed to figure out & park in d middle of d lot. yeah!!! nvr get d chance to go head & adjust d wheel cos dad said it's alright. think he tired le. wanna go back le.

so despite d hiccups, i think it shld b alright. can b better w more practices. i hope. ^.^ gettin better w my drivin skills have always been 1 of my resolution. only last yr due to d dare of my cousins tt i managed to pick up d courage to drive again. i really shld thank them... & of course my dear cos if not cos of seein him park all d time, i dun think i can try to figure out hw to park. ask my dad, he only say it's experience. sighed...
