Driving Lesson #2

Yeah, sorry peeps.

I was late D:

Anyways...
Today's driving wasn't expected by me.

Seriously! What's wrong with me?!

Okay, nevermind :P

I only woke up because Mum had opened my room's balcony door so wide 
that my eyes were hurt eventhough it was closed.

Yeah.
So I decided, WTHeck?

Just go down and start working & having breakfast too... While I'm at it!!

Half-way through my bowl of Kellogg's Cornflakes and Milk, guess what? -.-;;
The driving uncle called.

I honestly thought, eh? Wasn't my driving, like, Monday?
Turns out it wasn't.

I just changed my pants into tracksuit and was good to go -.-;;
LOL!

So today, blurr blurrrr oso had to drive xD
After a few rounds in the neighbourhood, I was heading towards a T-junction.
Left was towards the main road.
Right was in the residential area.

So I said, "Left or right?"
I obviously thought "DUH!! He'd say 'right'!"

Guess what? He said, "Left."

o.o
Okay.

So I signaled, and turned left.
Then I learned that I had to calm my thoughts down,
and that the cars were all going on their own lane. lol

Like seriously!
So I stayed on my lane, watched my side mirror if I was able to cut lanes as I go along.
Yup :)

Okay, that aside, I changed gear.
The 3rd gear xD

Actually, I can go to the 4th gear, since I was only driving straight!!

I passed Technology Park, Bukit Jalil Stadium, ...?? ???? ?????? ? Carrefour...
ahahahah!!

Yeah, I'm still not good with directions xP

So, anyways, while on the main road,
in front of the traffic light,
the car didn't die stall.

In fact, throughout my main road experience today
the car didn't die stall at all!!

It was awesome xD
The car did stall during the excursion, though.
When we were lining up to pump NVG. lol =.=;;

But I remembered what Michele said
and didn't panicked.

"So what if my car die?! You cannot see the 'L' sticker ah?!"
keh keh.

Yeah, I got horned at.
But meh, wait la! lol.

So, after cruising around on the main road, I was back in my residential area.
When I was back, 2nd gear was too slow for me ;x

As was the challenge.
No traffic lights to stop at.
No other cars to watch out for.
And my balancing, about okay... I guess.

And yeah, today was awesome as well cause...
the uncle actually sucked the dried assam !!

I supposed he would smoke during the next lesson o.O
Not that I'd care!
I'm glad he doesn't smoke with me around :D :D

In fact, I think I did better today.
Even though I blurr bluurrrr xD

The car stalled about 15 times.
Yeah, I got honked at. Once.

And I forgot to stop the car at the intersection and just turned.
Opps :(
Sorry. My bad.

I'm sorry :(

*sigh*

Today... I felt like I had betrayed the Lord.

*rewind!!*

Okay, so my day started like this:

 Cleaning.

Mum was cleaning the fan with my sister...
and I was given the task to remove the cobwebs at the corners of my house.

But before that, we had breakfast together.
Literally having breakfast :o

 Yes. 
It's Herbalife Shake, chocolate flavoured.

The three of us shared.... 2 cups of shake. LOL.

Then it's off to work.

Come afternoon, I went to Assumption Church to help set up a Lenten Retreat, 
which I did not plan on attending.

You see, I wanted to go there.
Just to get a letter stating that I was a member of the 
Assumption Youth Bible Group [AYBG]
since 2009... from the AYBG's coordinator.

Who said that she would pass it to me today.

But since January this year, I felt it was sort of wrong,
because I had not been attending the sessions in the weekend.
Simply cause I had the Internet Seminars and Driving things to attend -.-;

Of course, the World Youth Day retreats, too,
but still, those were just 2 days of the 12 weekends.

What in the world did I do for the other 10?
Okay, so I did attend the sessions, for 2 weekends...
What about the other 8?

I don't know. I felt guilty.

Well, anyways, I went to help out.
And arranging chairs, hanging out, carrying the cross a floor down...

Paul came and made us to do...
this:

Nice, right?
It was awesome!

All of a sudden, I felt like staying back.
So I asked my dad if it was possible.
Because our agreement was, 
I come back home at 5 p.m.

Unfortunately, this was getting a habit.
The late-informing thing.

The same thing happened the night before the last pre-SPM outing, 
as well as the last pre-SPM sleepover I had.

The retreat session was going to end at 11.30 p.m. that night.
And when I told my dad, he got upset, and I don't know...

... shouted at me, and nagged as well?

Okay, it was unfair, so I just told him that I'll just get the letter and then he can come pick me up.
Turns out, the coordinator didn't show up.
She had to leave for Thailand for an outreach programme that night at 3 a.m.

So I had to make another arrangement with her bro.
I'll be able to get the letter the next day at the 6 p.m. Mass...

-.-;;

I still felt bad la D:

And a small part of me felt like I had wasted my time,
since 75% of the afternoon-evening spent was just waiting to pass time.

Oh, wait.
Come to think of it, maybe it was a good thing that I went anyways.

That night, Addelynn had called me after I SMS-ed her to tell about the letter...
Then ended up talking to her for like... 45 mins!! LOL!

Who knew that she also went to Sunway for A-Levels? haha!!
So, if any of you knows the Physics tuition, please tell me :)

She wants it :D

Slept at 3 a.m. today -.-;;

Okay, that's it I guess...

Closing pic :)

Mark... being narcisstic.

Lol... like he was the only one who did it :P

Happy April's Fool Day!!
+ Driving Lesson #1

[If there were such a thing xD]

Anyways, today was a scary day... sort of.
Well, simply cause...

It's my first driving lesson!! OhMiGosh!

Man, it took awhile for me to get used to using my feet.
I wonder, how am I supposed to pass the JPJ test? D: D:

Dad was like, super protective.
He purposely delayed his work hours and followed the car to a lane in my residential area...
[Don't wanna use too many BM; I want to improve my speech :D]

After that, I learnt about the gears.
Wow.
Didn't know that there were 6 gears 0.0
5 gears for speeding, one gear for reverse x.x
The furthest I've ever went was 2nd gear.
That too, at snail's speed xD

I doubt I'd ever use the 5th gear -.-;
There's no way am I going to speed anywhere x.x

Then, I also didn't know...
there were 3 pedals in a manual car.
Apparently, my parents drove around in automatic cars,
so I'm used to seeing 2 pedals.

But it was okay, I think.
So long as the instructer is helping out! xD

hmm...
Today, being my first day,
I finally understand about the clutch, brake, and accelerator.

It was sort of humiliating, too. LOL.
Especially up the slope. Cool xD
My car kept dying though D:
Released the clutch a little too early.

The instructer too, was pretty helpful... and kept repeating the words.
When changing gear [my very first lesson!]
He kept saying, "push left first, then go down."
lol

When reversing and driving forward, he said,
"Forward, stop. Reverse, stop."

Somewhere along the way, he lit a cigarette.
I asked him not to smoke ;x
He threw the cigarette xD lol!

 hm...
It was okay, I think.
I got to remember to relax! haha
And the steering...
and when braking, I must push the clutch all the way down.
If not, the car will die -.-;;

Well, the car did die...
many times today.
I think about... 20 times? ahahahahaha

The worst was the reversing part,
at the top of my house's lane is actually a steep hill.
No, I'm okay with steep hills liao.
BUT!! Dunno why today;

A LOT of cars park there =.=;;
I was so scared of banging into my neighbour's cars -.-;
Then again, if I bang, 
they have to be understanding, right?
Still =.=;;

Embarrassing!! D: D:
