Assalamualaikum,
First of all, I would like to apologise beforehand to those who are reading this, well, probably 'yours truly' je yang read but anyways...I want to say sorry if this post will sound dull and boring. Having a severe case of mental blockage ATM.
So, guess what! I drove last Saturday. On the Road. First time. EVER.
Say what you may...noob ke ape ke but to me, it is such an accomplishment. Even though it was my 1st hour of driving after getting my L license, I feel like 'A BOSS'. Teehee
At first I thought we were just going to just drive inside the circuit. Ya know, the usual - hill, side parking and 3 pointer. I was 'heaven' nervous when I first sat in the driver's seat, thinking that I would screw up big time...just like the 1st time and get told off. Big Time.
Shockingly, with the help of AlMighty Allah, I was more confident and I was actually able to drive without constantly pressing the minyak and clutch at the same time and cause the engine to jerk and pass out on me. Like I did the 1st time. Noob. =[
Now I know why my parents never let me try driving in their car. Obviously they care about the well-being of their beloved belonging. Me, not the car la obviously. (...Ye ke?)
After making 3 rounds around the track and has parked the car at the waiting zone, my driving instructor casually said that we will be driving on the road today. This is how it goes, more of less-
Abg F: Ok, lepas ni kite pergi on the road
Me: Huh??!! (Automatically, my jaw dropped. )
*In my mind: *style African-American cakap* Oh no you di-ent (didn't) just say what I thought you said dowg. You gotta be kidding me. I'm still a child. You percaya ke you can still LIVE kalau you let me be on the wheel?!
Me: Tapi ni kan baru first day. Takkan nak drive kat jalan kot? Saya bukan nya terror drive.
(Dah kalut dahh~~)
Abg F: La...sebab tu lah ada lesen L. So boleh drive kat jalan raya. Kalau kat dalam institut tak banyak yang boleh belajar.....
ME : ZONE OUT
Tapi Alhamdulillah, dengan kuasa yang Maha Esa, a week has passed and up till today, I am still living healthily, with no body injuries or what not.
To say that everything went smoothly...hmm, not quite. It's a norm la right, for newbies to make many mistakes on the road due to inexperience or like me...just plain nervous at the time which resulted in bad body-brain coordination.
Below are a few major miscommunications that took place between me and the instructor. Seriously, kena korek telinga lepas ni. Adoyai~
Red: Instructor
Blue: Me
Ok, here, signal right. Ohh. ok, ok. Easyy~ (Put on LEFT signal)
Change gear, But as I've told you millions of time, remember to... Oh, change gear? Ok (Terus change while pressing minyak. Those with manual car should know what happens) ...press the CLUTCH FIRST!
Ok, after that Shell signboard...slow down to 30 Ok, I can do this ( Pressed the gas instead of clutch, car speeds up.)
Ok. Ada lagi banyak but lets justs stop right here.
Ok la. gtg, Going downstairs to do a full body checkup. I think I know my condition anyways but sebab nak memalukan diri and to face the fact, I will just go. haha =p
