I wasn't a fan of driving. I didnt dream of having my own car too. But 8months ago, I signed up for btt with boyfriend. It wasn't a last minute decision. I just thought it might be good for me to learn a skill. Whats more, I have boyfriend to learn with me!
I managed to pass btt by a bit after practising mcq questions with boyfriend for a night. The same for ftt. And right after we got our pdi , we went searching for a private instructor. Boyfriend actually know of a driving instructor recommended by his buddy. Just that, he didnt have his phone number. And after searching on his friend's Facebook on a particular chat , we finally found the number!:D
We proceed learning driving with him. Well, learning driving wasnt a easy task. I took manual and it took me quite sometime to learn how to juggle between the different gears, handling the clutch and knowing how the entire machine work. At first, I used to hate driving because I always stalk the engine up. But after much practices, I found that yes driving was quite interesting and challenging. And in fact I can't even imagine I can drive a car on a road!
But being a slow learner, I got scolded for reacting slow. I understand that reacting slow on road can really be a dangerous act.
For eg: during parking, i turn later than expected and in the end , i got to adjust many times just to fit the car into the slot.And a month ago, the instructor even claim that I might not be able to take tp. I was sad and even blame myself for being so stupid. Boyfriend was there to cheer me up , encouraging me not to give up . Thus, I decided to increase the frequency of my driving lesson, making an effort to recap what I have learnt every lesson by linking it up with examples. Up till now, I can't say that my driving is superb but I am more confident and careful when driving on the road!
Heh. TP in 3more days and I have one more lesson.I just hope that everything can go smoothly!
