Driving Lesson  

Posted by -NAZ-

Today I had my driving lesson and I had to wake up early at about 7.30 am. The driving instructor promised to come at about 8.20, but instead she came a bit late. I didn't even had a proper breakfast as there was no time to prepare one. So I just grabbed some bread to munch on. Then finally she came and we went to the driving trek which was not really far from my house. When we arrived at the trek I switched places with the driving instructor(whom I usually call Kak Nurul). Then I took the wheels and drive along the trek. I did the same old thing that is driving up the hill, balancing stuff. Then on to the parking and finish off with the 3 point turn. Apparently I was not in the mood to drive I guess as I did quiet a number of errors like making the engine go off all of a sudden just because I didn't control the clutch properly. Maybe I was still tired and drowsy from waking up early in the morning. Then we did a couple of rounds and as I was driving she told me that maybe I need extra classes. I was like "WHAT THE HELL". Well I didn't say it out loud to her. Just echoing it in my head. She continued saying that it is because of my lack of performance that I was currently showing. Then i thought that maybe i do need to add on more classes to the whole 10 hour period that was given. But it cost 30 bucks for an extra hour. The whole payment to take the driving license is already a lot and to even add more money???!!!! Nah, I think I'm confident enough with the total 10 hour given time for the driving lesson.

Then after mastering all the courses in the trek, we moved on to the real thing that is on the road! I was quiet a nervous wreck at first as it was my first time driving on the actual road with all of the fast moving cars. Then I braved myself and followed everything that she told me to do. After a while it was quiet fun actually as I could actually drive a bit faster compared to driving in the trek which always end up with stopping here and there. I actually felt a bit free and excited actually. Though I'm still not a master on shifting the gears and all. But I know I can do it. I drove along 3 routes that can be chosen by the JPJ on my test day. The first one had a lot of traffic lights and hills. So a lot of balancing needed to be done. The second one is the easiest one that is along the highway. That is if there is not much cars at that time. The third one is mostly passing along houses and schools. So all in all it was a great experience for me. Then after covering all the routes and finally feeling exhausted by all of the excitement, I drove back to the trek and then Kak Nurul drove me back to my house( which by now I think I could do by myself :D ). Then apparently I slept most of the day to relieve my exhaustion. OK done.
