Maddy: Life of a Beach Bum & Bikini Babe Wannabe!

Had my “virgin” drive this morning! Hee hee..Thank you CK for being so daring to lend me your car for my “virgin” drive! Hee hee..:P But hey it wasn’t that bad right?! Except for the parking maybe..Well you did manage to come back in one piece and most importantly your car as well! Haha..:P Really appreciated the kind gesture! :D 

It was also my “virgin” drive in rainy weather! Well, it wasn’t that bad actually. It was much better than what I had expected. But again, the rain wasn’t like really really huge. It was okay. Just small downpour. So it was still visible but I still have to keep a safe following distance. Was a bit worried there. 

My “virgin” drive on 5^th gear as well! Hee hee had to shift to like 5^th gear when I was driving on the expressway and I was so confused when I was told by CK to shift to 5^th gear lor! Firstly I had no experience of changing to 5^th gear since the max that we would go in school was till 4^th gear. And the max speed that I would go on 4^th gear is also 70km only. But hey I was travelling on AYE so I had to shift to 5^th gear in order to travel at 90km which is the speed limit! As it was my first time I was like looking at the gear when I was shifting and it was scary for CK Lor! Hee hee..he had to like take hold of the steering when I was doing that! Lolx. Sorry to frighten you there CK! Hee hee.. 

So how did I feel? Hm, it was fun and exciting but a bit worrying and nervous for me as well since it is like my first time actually driving without my instructors and L plate. So it would mean that I am a qualified driver and I have to be real careful when I drive. Moreover it wasn’t like my car so there was a bit stressed there. Was like holding the steering real tight and sitting tensed in my seat. CK had to like tell me to relax man! Hee hee..:P But overall it was a good drive and I was quite okay on the road except for the staying on my lane while travelling on bendy roads. Coz I tend to move out of my lane. Guess the remedy to that is to look far so that I will do fine. But hey I was a bit worried and nervous when I was travelling on those roads. Coz I only travelled at 40km and on 3^rd gear and not on 90km and 5^th gear! It was a bit scary as I am worried about losing control of the vehicle lor. But this is something I definitely have to work on if I want to drive in future. Just need to work harder! 

But hey one thing really sucks is vertical parking without poles! It is definitely TOUGH man! There are like no poles apperaing and disapperaing at the rear windscreen! Gosh! I was like at a loss of what to do! Now I can totally understand why some of my friends and colleagues are willing to let me drive their cars but not park! Haha..:P Coz it is really tuff without the poles! Goodness lor. I was like how to park man?! No turning point for me! So I asked CK and he told me it is by feeling! I am like “Huh? By feeling?” But bro, I fee nothing?! If I feel nothing, how do I park leh?! So by feeling doesn’t help, especially for peeps like me who have just gotten their licenses! 

What I cant really understand is that why we cant apply the technqiue that we have learnt in school? I read from the school book that we just have to take the front two poles as the right and left sides of the bonnet of the two cars and then shift accordingly to the lot. But again, theres no cars that are as high as the poles lor. So you cant really totally apply that wholesale onto parking. =_= So that sucks. CK told me that what they taught in school is only taught to you to help you pass test. But I am like if it is not useful then why the hell they teach you in school? There must be some logic and sense to what they teach in school right? So I was totally lost. Until CK told me to look at the headlight of the car at the small rear window. When that appears, then you quickly turn the steering full to whichever direction you want to go. So I tried that and it works! Gave that like twice and it works! Hee hee..So he was like aiyoh must give you sighting point then you can turn. So I told him “Ya lah! Of coz! I got no feel leh, how to turn?” Lolx. So seriously for new drivers like me, I definitely need some turning point! If no tunring point, how am I to turn leh? Different drivers are different leh. And I am those who need turning point, otherwise I will be CLUELESS lor. Hee hee ;P 

But CK did tell me that he aint going to teach me parallel parking. Hee hee..i think he almost lost his cool when I couldn’t quite comprehend what he was telling me when I was doing the vertical parking. Hee hee..sorry CK for dissing you off then. Hee hee ..:P I think it would be really tuff for parallel lor. Theres definitely no poles man! Hm, probably I should get like 3 frens to drive their cars and have two of them to stimulate a parallel parking for me eh? Haha..i think no one would be daring to do that! Unless they want to change their cars?! Haha..:P 

Well, I guess I would need more practices before I can be really good in my vertical parking without poles! Lolx. -_- There is definitely a technique lor. Technique to everything. It applies to both parking as well. So somehow I have to decipher the techniques so that I can do both parking. :D 

So peeps! It is definitely not as bad for Miss Maddy to be on the road lor. So please don’t be so mean eh! And always avoid me when I asked to test drive your car! Hee hee..:P You can ask CK if you are not sure! He said that I was quite alrights on the road, except parking maybe. Haha..:P But overall I am okay leh! ;P Worst still, my company’s operations asst gm made this comment “Aiyoh, another female driver on the road” Aiyoh please lor! So mean! Not all female drivers are bad hor! So evils of him! Excuse me, on that day when I passed my test, only 3 out of 10 who passed are male hor! Moreover those who genna really bad demerit points are GUYS! Heh. So please dunch be mean! Hee hee ;P 

And peeps, please have some faith and confidence in my driving!! Since I can get my license, it means that I can drive which explains why TP passed me lor! Hee hee ;P 

So whos going to lend me drive his car next huh?
