I had my very first driving lesson last Wednesday (27 Jan 2010). I speak to my instructor in Mandarin coz he can't really speak English. Good chance for me to improve my Mandarin :) Anyway, I drove around some industrial area near my place (not telling where :P ). My first lesson was so extremely scary coz maybe not used to it. I even mati enjin 3 times in the row =( Later I got used to it but I still ditegur quite a few times coz I did same mistakes.
Today (30 Jan 2010 ; OMG, I din't even noticed it's 30th of Jan adi. CNY is near!) I drove from my house to near my housing area for about half an hour (thank God engine died once only. Phew!), then I headed for the highway & again I ditegur for doing same new mistake for a few times but it was so cool on the highway!...somehow... haha. XD My instructor speaks quite soft also at times... so sometimes didn't hear him & he's coughing T.T coz he smokes =.=" . I then drove to the training field. There, drove a few rounds & also ditegur coz I din do a big "push & pull" of the steering wheel enough to turn (I thought cannot cross ur hands when turning the steering wheel?) but after a few times I followed his instruction. After doing a few rounds, he asked me to stop at the side of the training field. Rupanya he wants to smoke =.=" I was disgusted by the smell when he came in. (Bleh...) Later I drove back home. So fun! :D
