I couldnt slp properly last night.. and i had a very bad dream... (which i will only tell my darling... anyway it is similiar to something that i had before..) I was super ka chiong about my first driving lesson today... how would the instructer be that? how would i perform... (even though darling keep on reminding me yesterday that i am paying the guy big bucks to teach me driving).. after all i still feel kinda of conscious that i dun even know how to start the engine and step on the accelerator pedal....
But anyway I survived last night... and woke up right on time today.... went down to XXX Mrt (in order to protect the identity of my instructer and my driving school) to meet up with my instructer... and there he was... this unfriendly middle age man who just couldnt even squeeze a proper smile during greetings.... totally unpleasant first impression.. anyway he totally match my idea of a unfriendly driving instructer... (I thought all driving instructers are unfriendly mens...)..
He took my PDL and asked me to get into the car... a little bit shocked becoz i thought we are supposed to go somewhere quiet and safer with lesser cars.. like a ulu carpark or something... so i blurted out my thoughts... and he is like "just get into the car first and i will tell u what to do...." of coz in a unfriendly tone la... i am like "what e f have i got myself into...??" ok.. never mind.. i managed to squeeze a smile and got into the car.... then he went through all the components of the car.. from the air con buttons to the central locking switch for the windows to the handbrake and gear level... I am like "hello I have my own car la.. what the hell makes u think i dunno all the small small buttons.. it is just that i didnt know how to drive my car!!!" Goss... this is just such a torture man....
My CarOk... after going through every single thing... he asked me to adjust the mirrors... rear view mirrors.. no problem at all... side mirrors... that is where all my stupidity comes in... (goss i hate myself...).. my side mirrors in my car have to be adjusted manually... there is like this switch by the side on the interior dashboard that you can use to adjust... and my driving instructer side mirrors (Car is a Nissan Sunny by the way) has the round knob thingy that you have to turn and press up, down, left right to adjust... and i freakingly spent 10-15 mins trying to figure out how to fucking adjust the mirrors to suit my eyesight... oh my god... why does it have to be that high tech sia...
Ok i finished adjusting everything.. i know every single component of the car now... what is next?? He said he will drive to somewhere where there is lesser cars and traffic so I can learn to drive... I am like "ok.. finally...".. and he drove a distance away from the mrt station and stopped the car by the main road.... just some distances away from a traffic junction and a bus stop.... I freaked out man.. i swear... THERE IS ALOT OF TRAFFIC LO U IDIOT... WHAT LESSER TRAFFIC?? anyway I was there objecting like crazy.... telling him that i have never freaking drive before.. i cant drive there when i dun even know how to drive!!! and he is like... "it's ok... just drive...."
WHAT THE FUCK??!! So being the student.. seeing that my objections have come to vain... i got into the driver's seat... and i can soo see in my rear view mirrors that motorbikes, cars and buses all have to overtake me by the right lane becoz i am moving even slowly than a tortise.... damz... I havent even step on the accelerator pedal yet lo... i just left the crutch at biting point and allowing the car to move by itself... how freaking fast can that be?? goss goss..... this shouldnt even be taught on the main road lo!! this should be taught in the carpark.... where i wun be obstructing traffic..... ok anyway the car slowly crawl to a traffic junction and i panicked.... and i stepped on my crutch and accelerator pedal at the same time and the car stalled... still never mind... then when the lights turned green.. for some freaked reason I stalled again... i sweared i am going crazy at that point of time.... i dashed past a zebra crossing and risked knocking someone over (luckily she still at the roadside.. havent crossed yet) because i forgot to step on my brake pedal and step on my crutch pedal instead..... i spent 15 mins at a side road when i need to turn right becoz my bloody instructor was on the phone and i didnt know how to control the freaking steeling wheel to turn into the extreme right lane!!! a couple of times i went crazy... shouting at the instructer who cant even give proper instructions on what to press and what not to press... he is like.. dun press the brake... and i am like.. i am not pressing.... step on the accelerator.. i am like i am stepping.. now what..?? then control your steering wheel... alamak you never release your handbrake.. i am like i remove liao... then he is like step on the brakes.. aiyah not too much.. then i went aiyah u also never tell me step how much... go a bit closer to the stop line... okok brake.. aiyah brake a bit can liao..... goss.......... an endless debate............ seriously why am i doing alll these??
And worst of all, bloody idiot woman driver HONKED AT ME!!!! i sweared if i am in my car, and darling is driving... i would have pointed my middle finger, stopped the car, took out a baseball bat and smashed her car window!!! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?? I AM ON LEARNERS LEI.. CAN U SEE THAT FREAKING BIG L IN FRONT YOU IDIOT BITCH!!! YOU ARE NOT THAT GOOD IN DRIVING ALSO WHAT... DRIVE A SMALL DIAMOND BLUE PICA.... NOT BMW NOT SPORT CARS NOT RUSHING ANYWAY... AND EVEN IF YOU DRIVE A BM OR RUSHING SOMEWHERE... EVEN THE AMBULANCE GOT TO GIVE WAY TO ME LO... BECOZ I FREAKING DUNNO HOW TO DRIVE WAT... IF NOT WHAT IS THE L PLATE THERE FOR!!!! OVERTAKE ME LA... TWO LANES DIE DIE WAN TO TAILGATE BEHIND ME AND HONKED ME!!!! just too bad i was so busy trying to concentrate on stepping on my crutch and brake and accelerator pedal.. (whatever shit).. i didnt have time to note down the number plate... (i only manage to see her yaya papaya face in my rear mirror)..... if not the next time i see her... i sure make her tyres puncture, scratch her car, cut her rear windscreen................. super pissed lo......
Anyway darling is super happy that at least i can drive a bit now.. and i know how the crutch pedal works.... hahaha... he is sooo happy he can dance i think..... I hope the next lesson will be so much better... wish me luck le...
