2nd Encounter with My Young Driving Instructor (Part I)
Remember the young driving instructor who taught me few weeks back on a Sunday morning? Well, I genna him again last Tuesday and hmm..what can I say? Ahaha..same thing. He is nice, opens the door for me and takes my bag for me etc. He even ensured of my safety when we switched over the seats along the main road! Making sure that I got into the driver’s seat before he went over to the passenger seat!
As usual, we chit chatted during the whole session about anything under the sun besides driving..ahaha..His lesson for that period was U-Turn and he taught me many things. As usual, his lesson was interesting and time flies. Well, his lesson was interesting so aint complaining about that. And a few incidents happened during these 100 minutes!
Incident 1
Well, I was supposed to check my blind spots whenever I made a turn and I always seem to forget it. So he kept staring at me and after I made the turn, he told me that I forgot my blind spot. So I told him yea I remember and he said that he was staring at me to remind me. But hey his stare was so intense that I felt so pai seh! So I avoided his stare! So I told him that I knew that he was staring at me to remind me but hey I was so pai seh lor. So I told him not to stare at me so long but rather just for a while to remind me coz I can get pai seh from his stare.
Incident 2
So we were driving along the road and I told him that I was ticked off my other instructors for dashing across red lights so he told me that I had better not. So we were at the junction and when the light turned red, I wanted to dash across but he told me not to and slow down. So I said why must slow down? Can accelerate and go mah. Still got time. He said aiyoh, you are at second arrow leh. Still have time to slow down and wait. I was like okay lor. And he was shaking his head and he said that he can understand why the other instructors ticked me. Ahaha..so was at the 2nd junction when the lights turned amber. I was like at half way between 2nd and 1st arrows so decided to slow down but he told me to dash across! I was like Huh? But must slow down and stop mah. He: Aiyah no time to stop already so just move lor. So I accelerated more and moved on. And the next junction, I dashed across even though the lights were turning amber. SO he was like “Aiyoh why you dashed across? Still got time to stop leh. I “Aiyah you told me to dash one mah.” He” No I didn’t I only meant the last one and not this one lah.” Oops..so he just kept shaking his head and said that I can only do that if I get my license already and not when I am learning or at test!
He somemore said that in future he will take a double look if he ever sees a yellow Suzuki Swift Sports dashing across amber lights! Hee hee..well I sorta told him that I want to get a Yellow Suzuki Swift Sports after I get my license and he even said that I cant get over my ex which explains why I am getting the Swift! Ahaha..well, I sorta told him about my ex coz he was asking why I learnt manual the previous time he taught me.
Incident 3
So after speeding past the red light, he decided to share with me a joke that his frens and him shared over the weekend when they drove up to KL. Apparently it was a dirty joke! So immediatedly sensing the dirtyness of it, I said:
“Aiyoh, you are telling me a dirty joke!Hmm..you are my instructor leh..And I am your student. How can you be telling me a R-A joke?!”
He: Aiyah we are at this topic of dashing red light mah. So I decided to share with you this joke lor.
I: I know but you are my instructor leh. How can you tell me dirty jokes? So weird lor..
But well he did continued with his joke..:P
Incident 4
While making a left turn and done all my safety checks, some stupid car from my right just cut in and I almost got into an accident. Luckily my instructor was quick enuff to step on the brake and steer my steering wheel away to avoid the whole accident. Thinking that I was at fault, I apologized but my instructor said that it was not my fault since I had the right of way. So it was actually that vehicle’s fault.
Me: His fault? Aiyoh then why dunch you horn at him?
Him: Hm..well I can only do one thing which is step brake. Which is safer? Step brake or horn at him?
Me: Well, you are an instructor so you can multi-task mah! You can do two things at one time. Step brake and horn at him also! Otherwise he will think that it is my fault leh.
All he did was smiled.
