Was the first time driving the car since Dar got the car couple of weeks ago. Was q excited coz m somtimes too lazeee to take public transport to go for tuition and thus a car would be super helpful esp if I needed to travel to various places. :P
So last nite Dar first brought me to the carpark @ Kallang Mc's and then to the carpark around stadium there as the carparks there were much bigger. Was v v v v scared of driving the car coz the car was still new and I was scared that I couldn't control and will slam the car into something; thank goodness that didnt happen! First thing I had to get used to was the clutch; have been driving auto cars ever since I passed my driving test so it was kinda strange to see a 3rd pedal. Next, gota practise releasing the clutch to the biting point before stepping on the accelerator. Initially I was releasing the clutch soooo v slowly, then I realise I could actually release q fast till about 1/2 - 3/4 way before stepping on the accelerator!! Actually I not bad wor, engine didnt stall ok *beams* Then Dar taught me how to change gears; somehow it was smoother when I changed to lower gears. Dar said it is coz when I change to higher gear, I clutch in too fast, so the engine slow dwn liao then I step on the accelerator dat's why no power. Dar also taught me how to stop the car, after I asked stupid question like do i step on the brake first or I change to neutral gear first haha! Finally managed to get the hang of it (although still not v gd) and we were driving around the carpark in circles.
Dar then suggested I drive on Nicoll Highway for while before going home but i vehmently refused!!! Alamak, I thnk I will freak out if I were to drive w other cars on the road!!! Must practise more first... and I thnk I beta go dig out the "P=Plates" to put on the car :P :P :P
To be cont'd...
