I MOVED A CAR !!!

Woke up earlier by an hour today. Dad took me to the field which is only 5 minutes' drive away from where I stay. It's supposed to be a football field (but I think it's a lot more smaller than the size of an actual football field). But the footballers only come in the evening. Bulls too most of the time. Haha... Anyway, the purpose of this 'field-trip' is... to learn the basics of driving. XD

Parents insisted on it so that I wont waste time when I go for my first practical lesson. And I just realized.... IT'S SO EASY TO START THE ENGINE. I know I sound a bit stupid, but everytime I see my brother does that, he makes then engine go BRUMMMMM loudly. Not just 'twist, brum'. Done.

Before this, dad had made me memorise all the gears. Imagine sitting in a car, doing nothing but changing gears from 1 to 4 and back repeatedly. Ohya, and moving both legs up and down. The clutch and accelerator thingy... Did the same thing for half an hour. Well, this was weeks before. XD

To begin, I started with the first gear. The engine died down a couple of times. Coz I couldnt even maintain driving (moving the car to be exact) at 1 kRPM. Which means, LOWER than that. Can you imagine how slow is that... *wipes sweat* After a few rounds of 'moving' the car, I switched to the second gear. Although I succeeded in maintaining the speed at 1.5 kRPM (yes i know, still slow), but it happened to be faster when I used second gear. Drove (moved) round and round again, and switched directions. Coz I was afraid that I might get used to only the anti-clockwise direction. So now I'm okay with both clockwise and anti-clockwise. WHEE ~~. Learnt how to use to the third gear too. But not the forth. Dad said driving with the forth gear at 1 RPM, impossible. XP

After driving (I still think it's considered as moving) for an hour plus plus, we headed back home. I'm still not used to changing gears though. I'll just need to practice more I guess. Haha. Ohya ohya, dad said I'm quite okay for a beginner! SQUEEE ~~~

Didnt notice that the back of the car is covered with sand and dust until we got home. Hahaha. The field is so dry as my place hasnt rained in more than a month. Eversince before CNY. Should have learnt the rain dance from bossu. XD

I'm finally attending my theory lessons tomorow! =) But there's another thing that's troubling me... My thumbprint. The last time they scanned my thumbprint, when I went for my undang and bike license, it took more than half an hour! And I almost couldnt take my undang test because of the same reason. Now it's even worse. I've been doing housechores for weeks, and dealt with water a lot. Kitchenwork. I'm not complaining about doing chores everyday. But I just cant help looking at my cracked thumb. I have sensitive skin, just like my mum. So now I have cracked fingertips, which is very difficult to scan... I guess I'll have to get ready another 20 bucks to buy a smart card for my thumbprint. Did that last year. TT___TT

P/S: I know some of you who are reading this might be driving pros. =) So pls bear with my noob-ness with driving. Like the cant-even-maintain-at-1kRPM thingy. Hehe.
