din do much work today. woke up at 11+am. then went for run with sister. thought would be very easy, after all i'm fitter than her. or so i thought... target was 3 rounds around the rivervale. i only lasted 1 round. when i got home, i was panting so deeply that i cannot talk... jia lat. really damn fat.
had intentionally wanted to go down eat lunch. but sister say cook at home better, some more can save money. so i thought, why not? cooked 3 cups of rice and warm up a can of peanuts, preserved vege with fish and curry chicken. and a cup of ice milo. :)
along the way i cut up the left over red pepper and king mushroom and a onion. cook them with some remaining spaghetti that was left in the bottle. i was afraid that the red pepper will spoil, so cook into the sauce can last longer. :) turns out when i tried to put the red pepper back into the bottle, it keep splashing sauce all over, so had to use a pair of chopsticks to put them in one by one. same for the mushroom. all in all, the sauce expanded from 1/3 bottle to a bottle. can use it tmw for lunch. :)
went for my 4th driving lesson today. turns out i had the same car which meant the same instructor today as i had on sat. as usual, drive around and shift up and down. today's focus was on intersections and lights. so spent quite a lot of time stopping and going through the traffic junctions in the circuit. he also thought me how to turn correctly so that will end up in the center of the lane.
i stalled the car twice while turning a sharp corner which required full lock on the steering. the purpose was to apply slight buy firm braking to slow the car through the bend. i braked too hard and the speed drop too low. so the car stall. so pai say. both occasions also the same. too much braking. guess i need to work on my braking. cannot brake too hard initially or else the car will jerk. and it wont be smooth. i also had to pay alot more attention to the mirrors and blind spot. have to keep looking left and right, here and there so that won't hit anybody. in the previous lessons, the instructors did most of the looking and told me when to turn and so on. but i guess this Mr Cheong was training me to be independent and not rely on the instructions of the instructor.
throughout the lesson, he was asking me questions on the car and all that. i thought he ask for fun one. turns out he was asking for the evaluation. since i knew most of was he asked, he passed my evaluation part which meant i pass the entire module 1!
haha. yah! 4 lessons and module 1 clear le. now i must pass my BTT on 22nd june so that i can drive on the road next lesson. which is on the 1st wednesday of july.
he also taught me 2 new things.
one, was that i din have to pay when i used the centre's toilet. cos they got one guy sitting there collect 10 cents. so i've been paying for a few times le. when he's not there, i act dumb and just go in. today, after my lesson i just walk in. :)
two was how to jump start a car. this method only works for manual cars. need at least 2 people, one in the driver's seat and one pushing. before the car move, turn the ignition to the start. then engage the clutch. once the car start to move, engage end gear and release to half clutch and step on the accelerator. the engine will start. cool right? i din know that. tried it twice and it worked! for auto cars, need to jump start using cables connected to the battery terminals of your own car as well as another car. he says that the other car has to have a bigger CC or more horsepower for the jump start to work. i din ask him how to do that though. next time i will ask during my next lesson.
quite fun la today's lesson. i'll make my notes on driving now...
