Gran Turismo VII: The L-plated road warrior
I finally finished the task that the stranger sitting beside me in the vehicle ordered me to do. Fear knotted my stomach and panic starts to set in. Adrenaline rushes to every part of my body as I waited in reluctant anticipation of what the next task this stranger will have for me. My throat goes dry while my hands are drenched in cold sweat. Finally, he spoke. "Okay, now that you adjusted your mirror, you can fasten your seatbelt." Gotcha!
Sorry for people who were hoping for a suspense-filled entry, anyway this is my blog, for goodness sake, what ever suspense can actually happen to my life? For those people who still cannot catch the ball, today is my first driving lesson and I'm actually quite excited over it. Yes, I'm a late starter so BITE me if you are not happy with it for all I care.
"When can I learn drifting or handbrake turns", I eagerly thought before my lesson started. Half an hour later, I was doing all I can to prevent the car from stalling. Whoa, driving is not as easy as the arcade games make it look. For games, it's pedal to the metal all the way and for real driving, my instructor keep telling me,"Accelerate slowly. Step on the pedal softly but firmly". To tell the truth, my right foot almost cramped trying to control the accelerator. Maybe I should dedicate a gym session especially for my right foot?
In all, it was a great session, where my top speed of the day is 10 km/hr. Not exactly hyperspace speed, but, hey, I'm proud of it, okay? Anyway, for your own road safety, try to avoid going to the Bukit Gombak area for sometime. If you really need to go, stay clear of any roads or L-plate cars because I might be driving and I really don't want to run down anyone who reads my blog. So good luck to me and if you want to contribute to my "Learn to drive" effort, I'm always open for donations in cash, petrol or cars. ;P Cheers~

3 years on and driving's a chore. I'd really rather have Scotty beam me to wherever. There're too many people in the city, a good number of which are on the roads. Precious few road users care for others. Morning drives are the worst, when I have to drop people off at work or school. Got a deadline *and* bad traffic. *Rant Rant* Um, methinks I should stop.
