i had my first driving practical session today! ok it didn't start off as fantastic. i freaked out (as usual) cause i couldnt find the car number and area. the paper looked so complicated! after taking several deep breathes, i realised it was on the top of the page. -.-

so the starting was a bit boring, with al the mirror adjusting and aircon thing. den i asked stupid questions. several stupid qns in fact. funny how til now i can rmb the stupid qns but i can't reali rmb wat i learnt. and when lessons finally begin, i kept over releasing the clutch and stalling the engine. -.- no wonder the instructor thinks i must be a slow learner. at the end he was lik "dun compare how fast u learn with ur other frens...". and i think my steering sucks. i couldn't understand how come the steering wheel dun automatically spring back to the straight postition. also, when steering's at the straight position, the erm, car's logo on the wheel's lik not upright. -.- he was controlling the steering the whole time, especially when i turn around at bends, whether it's a gentle or sharp bend. -.-

BUT. it was truly a fun experience! sure the engine kept stalling but i can't help but grin in this silly manner when i first start the engine. and it was so fun to jus accelerate on the straight road. and the braking toO! feels good to have control hahas... now i sound lik a control freak. =P

AND. the way he keep saying "listen to the engine" and "feel the speed" makes me wonder if perhaps speedracer is not TAT fiction after all. cause in that movie, the main star was lik one with the vehicle. mayb to be a real accomplished driver, u hav to treat the car lik some living breathing ALIVE thing. =) nice. hahas..;
