Anyway, The instructor reached my house and got out of the car with a big grin and said: "现 在 到 你 驾 了!” (which means "here, it's your turn to drive now!" in mandarin)
Holly Cheeseburgers. @^%#^@&!!??
My brains instantly went deoxygenated and i kinda screamed: "HUH??? WHAT? you want me to drive there??!"
He looked shocked and said: "why....why are you so scared? C'mon! get into the car!"
"But...."
"You need more guts and confidence.."
"Fine."
The reasons why I'm so scared of driving to the academy is because:
1. It's just my second driving lesson, i mean, what was the instructor thinking?
2. I always wonder why i speed up when i wanna slow down. (YES i know where the break is, but u cant's blame me, my legs can't see what's happening down there can they???)
3. The signals seem useless to me. I change my direction whenever i want. Without looking at any mirrors. (I'm not used to looking here and there and giving out signals okay? Plus, the mirrors are for me to check my hair.. )
4. I always let the car engine die, without knowing what happened until the instructor said: "eh, don't let go of the clutch too much lah" Right. Manual cars.
5. The break seems useless to me too. I always feel so relaxed because the car would stop by itself until the instructor said: " Eh, you have to step on the break yourself lah, don't rely on me to step the break on my side for you lah.." and he was controlling my steering wheel for me while he said that. xD
Anyway, the journey from my house to the driving academy was supposed to last for only 10 minutes, but i took like, half a day to reach there. The instructor told me everything i needed to do on the way there. I mean, EVERYTHING, like "Put right signal!", "Free your gear!", "Release the handbreak!", "You can release your legs and relax for a moment now! " and most importantly "Stop! Stop! You know how to stop right?? " -_-
Overall, everything went well, except for the part that i wanted to turn right into a road where the cars go from right to left... like, my brain malfunctioned or something..
Oh well, will try to improve during the 3rd lesson ^.^
