driving lesson 18

hmm i thought i seen all the instructors in my grp. but today i saw yet another new face. let me refresh my own memory..

1) instructor sum : funny, cold. [i still got a score to settle with him]
2) instructor yip : strict, serious. every lesson is like taking the actual test
3) instructor ngau : the fatherly-like instructor. patient. [ but my hand will 'piak' against his thighs whenever im changing gears]
4) instructor lee: quite grouchy but otherwise still nt bad. [the one with a sprained wrist]
5) instructor ng: another young instructor. funny too. [his smile makes me think of garfield]
6) instructor ting: another father type instructor. [told me lots of stories abt his life]
7) instructor lim: the highlight of this post

hmm weird. next time i shall check which one dont belong to my grp. anyway today i was in quite a good form i guess. this instructor lim passed me 3 things. e. brake, 3 point turn and vertical parking. haha e brake very fun. he will sudddenly clap and then i must jam brake and then clutch in. 3 point turn also quite easy. stop by roadside, safety checks, then turn full lock right. then change to reverse gear, full lock left. then forward gear again, full lock right and straighten. he said it is not really useful since most ppl will rather take a longer route to turn back.. but i think this technique is highly abused by taxi-drivers..

vertical parking: heh.. i think im smart, i did the first 2 tries perfectly. make the instructor so happy lor. he da die yan jing and said hardly any female drivers can get it right the first time. at first he said i was lucky. 2nd time then he say i got skill. haha. BUT pride comes b4 a fall right? soo true. b4 the lesson ended, i tried doing again. haiz the rear of my car hit the pole down.-.-" what a bu wan mei de ending..
