on the road, again.

Yesterday I got myself into what I call shitty nostalgia. Sitting in the driver's seat again, with a PDL. man, that sucks. I have to constantly turn my head to pretending I am looking at something which I don't care about. I have to take special note of all that myriad of things which after 1000km on the road, I could pretty much close one eye about. And yes, the best of all, I forgot the existence of stop lines.

It's been about more than a half a year since I've gotten my dear military license from kaki bukit camp. It was the fifth test, which suggests that 1) I have no talent in driving 2) I am a reckless and dangerous driver. this civilian car here, is a piece of glass. I swear. I got reprimanded many times because I stepped my feet on the accelerator with too much force (in my defense, I thought that was already quite light). the gear stick is weird. and there's gear 5! I didn't give my instructor a good impression. He kept scolding me for pressing everything so hard. I stalled the engine countless of times because of the glass clutch. Everything is like going to break. I have power which i cannot control, and have not accustomed myself to.

Blame the SAF Jeep.

I cannot see the bonnet, which is weird. Omg, I think I am going nuts.

this is not going to be as easy as I thought. I think I really have to get used to this new (and normal) vehicle. but normal, is abnormal to me!

Plus, I have ten thousand other bad habits from nonchalant driving. I have 1000Km of road experience, but all of it are detrimental experiences. Sadly.

I am going to have my lesson again on thursday night. I am quite not looking forward to it. I'm hoping I get my license by early november or october. this sucks. it's no more express 6 lessons + 1 X good test to get my license. it's more than familiarizing, it's a whole new car. Damn it.

Shit. I don't like this.
