This morning, I went for my driving lesson 8, learning subjects 9 and 10. Basically subject 9 is about speed adjustment. It is broken down into (a) acceleration control (b) brake control (c) clutch control (d) gear shifting. the subject requirement being able to adjust speed on straight road and bends. Subject 10 is on traffic rules and it consists of (a) lane discipline (b) traffic light and signs (c) pedestrian crossing (d) yellow box (e) priority at intersections (f) passing intersection. the minimum requirement for the subject is to be able to understand/drive according to traffic regulations and signs.
I was suppose to meet Hazel before lesson. Meeting place is the pillar with disappearing plants. Anyway, she was late and texted me to go for lessons first. I met Jingxin again(don't even know if I spell correctly). Although I don't really know him well despite hearing Mr Lim mentioning him time and again, I think he is really friendly and has lots to share about driving. Thanks to him, I know how is my baby 110 different from some other cars.
Apparently, I got baby 110 today. Oh yes, I have to mention what I have learnt about her looks as told by Jingxin. Well, her outlook is different because she is the newer model. Her butt is squarish and sharp unlike the older models which have more rounded butts. Don't worry 110, I assure you that you are still as pretty as the rest.
Hmm, baby 110 is a bit grumpy today, or maybe it was my skills. She "died" (engine stalled) on me when moving off from a traffic light on a slope. How come your biting point is so far to find today? Even when I shift gear, you become so grumpy and jerky. Haha, probably you don't want my left foot to leave your clutch today. And babe, the last two times I know it is difficult to engage your first gear, then how come today third gear also hard to engage? Anyway, I am wondering if I get to see you on monday. If so, I hope you cheer up and get a good wash over the weekend. :)
Yeps, there were a few slopes on the road that I practised on today. First time trying out the handbrakes at slopes. What I've learnt is to keep the biting point, step on the accelerator and bring down the handbrake for moving off from the slope. Gosh. My engine stalled for most of the tries. But it is ok, it will improve, just like the other skills. Can't wait to drive again.
If you are curious about baby 110, the following are her pictures. Ooh, don't get too excited just because I included a picture of her butt. Haha. Presenting, babe 110!
