Managed to book driving lessons from people who were trying to sell theirs last minute. So lucky me didnt get to drive 1 month later =)

So ystd was the first lesson. Instructor was v v nice fellar, joked and talked with me to make me feel at place. So starting was def jerky, but he said i was quite a fast learner and brakes were quite smooth!! =) Well i think i did quite average for a beginner, though my stalls were like 9-10 times??

Got the same instructor today. Oh I forgot to mention that ystd he asked me to apply for PDL cos he thinks im ready for the road, which i very fearfully thought I wasnt. So went 1 round in the circuit, and to the roads. Yeah, stalled again but lesser this time, like 2-3 times only? Went on to 4th gear and managed to keep the car under control. Instructor said 4th gear was suppossed to be at the 3 or 5 session but he wanted to let me have a taste of it. Learnt changing up gear and changing down. No probs with that. Er and also checking for oncoming traffic before turning. Hmmmm quite ok too. Only there's once when i didnt know why but suddenly jam-braked and caught the instructor and the car behind me by surprise. I didnt even know what i was doing as well! Seriously sometimes i just control the car without knowing what im doing. This is not pro or smth, just that somehow or rather the mind just does its automatic driving thing whereas you're just not thinking abt driving. hmmmmm

Went to NTU open house after that. Alright the journey is SUPER FAR!!! I just wanna get into NUS and yeah, be MUCH MUCH closer to home. So the open house was alright, just that very few professors could answer my enquires on admission stuffs since i think they're just there either for show or to answer some course academic questions or refill the booklets. =P Went home after that and yeah...

THE JOURNEY WAS SUPER LONG ALSO!
