Official Driving Practical

Woohoo; okay; today's the day; my official practical starts. I sound all high on the topic myself. HA! Okay; the appointment's at 2pm; right before it i was somehow complainining to linmin about being all tensed up and " kan jiong " Haha; to make matters worse; the weather isnt making things any better.
Okay; so i left the house; head on to auto-ecole; this time round; its another " sensei "; she's 100% much nicer than the previous one; she's funnier- more relaxed; more forgiving and of all points; she's really patient. With the language barrier where i couldnt catch a couple of vocabulary words; shes nice to explain it all to me;
To start off; she explained about how to handle the steering wheel properly. Those ticking turns {what is it called in english?? I only know that they are called " clignotants " } HA- the rules; etc-
so drove off and explore; well; im the one to control the steering wheel and she would be controling those gears and paddles {its 2 sided drive} At the beginning i couldnt really " catch " the momentum of the turns; but then towards the end of the lesson; i was doing much better and could turn properly without having trouble with the steering wheel. Come to think of it; its quite fun. LOL! And the key to it; was look FAR ahead and don look at your hands. HAHA-

I feel so glad that i didnt throw my face soo badly like last time. But im a little tensed; and " sensei " keep saying " zen!! zen " LOL; thats sooo funny.
Looking forward to next practical on tuesday!
Now its time for BED! " ja-ne "
