9th and 10th lesson!

I haven't been updating cos lesson have been v packed like alternate days.

For the 9th lesson, I revised on my vertical parking, which I improved a lil lil bit ((:

New stuffs!

Sharp turn and moving up from slope

Mistakes!

Do not engage clutch too soon after you depress on your brake!!! Rmr!!!
Wide vision
Look when engagin turn
Use clutch to manage speed

For lesson 10, more vertical parking )): But I guess I am much much better already. My instructor asked me to start straight away before preparing. I managed. And only after I stop aside, he reminded me that I dont need warm up anymore Yea!

I did smth very cool today. I manage to balance my car on the slope without engaging the handbrake, only by using my clutch and accelerator. haha. Have fun doing it ((:

Today smth SUPER DUPER funny happened to me. haha! I was supposed to stop before the traffic light so that pedestrians can cross. I intended to stop. But I didn't manage to stop in time. And hence I crossed over a lil. The pedestrian was super funny. He hesitated to cross the road several times and I hesitated to move a few times and finally he decided not to cross the road. haha! So funny. My instructor was telling me I should just stop and let him cross without worries. And all because of my hesitant, he needs to wait for the next traffic light. HAHAHA!

Reminder: Clutch in after brake!

Comment from the instructor: Is not that your reaction is slow, it is because you do not have sufficient confidence. And as to why you do not have confidence, it is because you do not know how to estimate, observe and gauge.

I'll be learning parallel parking next wk. yea~ Enjoy driving a lil more than previously.

8th LESSON!

I finally learnt something different!!!

I learn how to do vertical parking. It's super tiring like gotta stretch all the way back to look at the pole thn manage my clutch and accelerator and turn my steering wheel. I am bad at coordinations! When I concentrate at doing something, I failed to turn the steering wheel. AHHHH! Improve on my coordination, that is what my instructor tells me every lesson until now. And he always ask me to do 3 point turn in order to improve on my coordination. haha!

I have been asked to speed up. I can forsee myself as a road obstruction driving at 40 km/hr. haha! However while I was doing my vertical parking, I was asked to slow down. So after the lesson I was supposed to drive back to the centre, I end up driving slowly again, after my instructor asking me to speed up before learning parking.

So exciting yet so scared cos my PT is coming so soon!!! JIA YOU!

It's the 7th lesson!

Today's lesson is much much better than the last wk. It's more of a revision of the previous lesson than new concepts. But I learnt how to gauge the distance to depress brake before the traffic light, how to change from gear 3 to gear 2 to engage a turn. That's all I guess. And do ALOT of 3 point turn and U turn.

My driving experience is not very funny, maybe cause my instructor is stricter though he does joke once in a while, when I looked super stressed up. haha!

Anw today I made a HUGE HUGE mistake. I actually change from gear 3 to gear 1 and my car stalled in the middle of the road. I hate to stall!!!

And my coordination is disgusting. haha!

Also instructor told me not to be too stressed cos he is trying to push me to the next stage of my learning. He also asked if I am stressed up if he keep nagging me on the road. And I said.... YES! I will become a kan chiong spider and forget all the steps. HAHA! Anw I am much happier this lesson, at least I managed my car well ((:

Today is my SIXTH lesson.

I feel like a total failure in driving. I cannot coordinate myself. Maybe is because I did not revise on what I have learnt before attending the lesson. My control of the clutch is horrible. And to think about it, it's the basic of driving.

It's already the SIXTH lesson. My instructor expects me to know almost everything that I have learnt. BUT I cant. Am I the only one that feel this way? Anyway the more the instructor reminds me of things to do, the more kan chiong I get. And this will affect the whole lesson, cos I cant relax for the lesson. Ahhhh! I feel like giving up on it, BUT no I cannot.

Anw things that I have learnt today:

1. Revise on 3 point turn which I still fail to do it well
2. U turn which applies to the same thing
3. Some very curvy turn
4. Revise on parking along the road
5. Right turn. This is super duper hard. It requires lots of coordination. MY GOD! I cant do it well. I was stucked in the middle of the road. Almost jam up the whole queue cos I was too stressed up and everything just could not coordinate. Luckily, my instructor asked me to relax and instruct me step by step.

Always remember to change to gear 1 before moving off. Remember to straighten your steering wheel before stopping.

I don't know is it that I am not used to the way he teaches. I always feel so stressed up during lesson. Nothing goes right.

It's another 1 month plus to my exams and I am still struggling with it. HOW!?

JIAYOU! JIAYOU!
