My First Time Behind The Wheels

Saturday, January 3, 2009



Hey, guys. Good evening. It is currently 3:40pm, 3rd of January here in Malaysia.
About three hours ago, my father brought me to Bangi with supposed ONLY my mother, but my other two brothers and Iliya persisted on following us. The motive of going there was unknown to me. I secretly hoped he wanted to buy me a new phone. hehehehe... We went there by Mama's Myvi (an auto).
During the journey, Mama made a comment about the weather and is it suitable. (it was raining - it still is actually) That made me wary. Plus, Babah asked me to bring the camera; which is quite weird if he was going to buy me a phone. Unless, he wanted to take pictures of me browsing the phones and take pics of me and the "new" phone. I highly doubted that. We arrived at our destination; a small field infront of the UKM's golf course. I knew we weren't going to buy a new phone!
There, my parents stepped out of their seats and asked me to take the driver's seat!! Alas, I knew why we came here!! Today I had my first driving lesson. I was quite panicky in the beginning. Not good, coz things usually ended up badly for me when I'm panicked. Furthermore there were 5 other passengers in the car.
It went on quite good in the end. It was also quite exhalerating. I learnt;
a - make sure your position and posture in your seat is comfortable, if not adjust it to better heights n ect.
b - buckled our seatbelts - duh!
c - checked all the mirrors; make sure they give you clear views of your background
d - pressed on the brake pedal while starting the engine
e - shift your gear
f - lift the handbrake (pressed on the brake pedal for safety measures)
g - drive!!!! okay, actually I didn't even go more than 20km/h. I just circle around the field repetitively. The back passengers were getting quite carsick after 15 minutes.
I also did reverse. It was a little bit harder. Anyway, after about 30 minutes, Babah called it a day.
He made me nervous during the lesson. Not good. He kept on commenting (as he should BUT ) and he did pulled the wheels from me (sorta) twice. Anyway, I guess I will not have anymore lessons in the near future as the schools start this Monday. Thus, everybody will be buzy...
Buzy.. buzy...
Anyway, that'all. Toodles.
P/S: I still have sore throat and sinus. The fever had calmed down. Sad - about the sore throat and sinus I mean.
