Haiz...the past few driving lessons have been quite a nightmare for me. Committing serious mistakes one after another. Initially, it was the red light incident, almost dashed across it. Then it was the 'obstruction' in a junction, and today was the U turn incident. Was told to turn right but i U turn instead. Worse still, it was done without "U turn" sign! Thats totally crap man!! Something is totally wrong with me. Seemed so distracted and just blank out suddenly. Argh!!! Felt so bad after the lesson and worried that the series of bad incident will continue to haunt me. Haiz...sadded.

Nothing much in particular for this lesson. More on improving on the weak areas such as turning in a junction and the forming up and positioning while turning. Hmm...checking of blindspots for changing of lanes and overtaking has gradually became a habit for me now. Still trying very hard to be vigilant to the situation on the road man. I am like a 'gangster' lor, heck traffic rules one, always drive and turn with no regard to the other vehicles on the road. Haiz...had to keep reminding myself to be alert and to take the necessary actions as early as possible.

Woohoo! Smooth and steady today! Learnt from my mistakes yesterday, drove much better le. The instructor also damn relax, sit back, chill and on his mp3 from his handphone. Haha. Coincidentally, he was the same instructor whom i had my first driving lesson with. It was all about stopping at the kerb side and the checking blind spot whenever i turn left/right, change lane and overtaking. Nothing much today though. Spent most of the time driving around the road and brushing up on some of the techniques. Haha...Think i need about 3 to 4 more lessons to wrap up module 2. Spent about $1k so far in driving le. Getting poorer man haiz...Even after i get promoted, the pay increment is very minute only.

Its the start of module 2 and this time round is all about maintaining a good lane discipline i.e keeping to the left lane and also keep a safe following and stopping distance away from the vehicle infront. Was quite stressed up today sia, wasn't the usual me at all. Always forget to keep to the left lane right after a turn, slow in changing up and down. At moment i totally blanked out! Almost dashed through a red light!! Omg...think the instructor really wanted to kill me sia! Didn't notice a traffic light at all! Haiz...poor performance today. Feel so bad...awww.

Yesterday, A pre-road assessment was carried out to assess what i've learned so far and what are the areas to improve on. Coincidentally, the instructor for the day was the same as my previous lesson! Good! Good! So i had my warm up for awhile around the circuit before heading on to the road. It was my very first time driving on the road. Very excited and eager to start. Previously, didn't get to do it because i had not applied for my PDL, therefore i did not get to try driving at gear 3 and 4. More gear-shifting to handle on the road, had to keep changing up and down the gear to suit the traffic condition. Got to "speed" at 50km/h, haha so much better than going at 20km/h in the circuit! As i was getting more stable in the "quiet" road, the instructor led me to drive out to a busy road! Had to be more careful but i wasn't nervous or panic. Did quite alot of turning in a junction as well as in a traffic light.
The last part of the lesson was on the introduction of the components in bonnet. Was told which one is the engine, brake fluid, battery, coolant as well as the water for the windscreen wiper. With that, my module 1 ended liao!! Yeah!! Next would be on module 2, more road driving for me! FTT on monday!! ^_^
