yeah! driving was quite different today...
i had a different instructor, not sure where did my instructor go.
car 28.
at first, when i got the allocation slip, i was quite angry that i got a different instructor... partly because i am also not sure if this instructor is good. hmm. but it is a blessing in disguise.
i went to take a look at this instructor's face at the board... haha. okay la. don't really look very noob.
he speaks chinese throughout the lesson... but for some instructions like turn left, right, he spoke english... better to speak english when giving instructions. because i need to think what is 'zuo' and 'you' before i know what is left and right. lol... quite sad right...
so, he taught me what are the turning points for parallel parking clearly, like must see the whole pole before turning. then the corrective actions after that. my instructor did told me, but not as clear.
he asked me a lot of questions too... like what u doing now? (driving, lor) lol. but, of course i didn't said that. which school u come from? how's your results? how's your work?
quite fun chatting with him la. he seems to know a lot about education system, the schools too.
he also gave me some advice on driving and other stuff... not bad.
but... he went to the toilet halfway through the lesson, this is the first time i experienced such stuff. he also kept yawning and BURPping during the lesson. i was like "eh?"
the best thing is, i did not hit any kerbs, poles, or stall in this lesson... haha. i think it was quite a nice lesson. no major mistakes... if i can drive like how i drove this lesson, i think i will pass!!! :)
wah. don't be over-confident.
but i really hope i can drive like this... hehe. :)
this lesson is nice, and i hope if my instructor didn't come, i would get instructors like this instructor!
i felt so bad... haha.
2 more stages to go! 4.04 and 5.01!
quite strange, because i had 3 more test routes to go but only one stage 4 left. can complete 3 test routes in one lesson?
hmm.
i think is because during my auto lesson, the instructor only let me on 1 test route...
aiya, let the instructor think la.
anyway, my auto lesson last week was also fun! no changing of gears, left leg can rest and just accelerate and brake! nice... but my right leg becomes tired. maybe due to the low speed control... :)
i think the most tough part is to go over the kerb and stop before the pole. once u hit the pole, its bye-bye for you. and when u stop on the slope, there is no need to pull the handbrake. the car won't roll down. that is quite amazing. unlike manual cars, they will surely roll down if the handbrake is not applied. but the instructor says those learning auto have to pull the handbrake, its a requirement.
learnt quite a number of things for the auto lesson...
fun! i must enjoy my driving till the practical test... haha.
