had my 13th driving lesson yesterday and i managed to complete 3 subjects!! they are vertical parking, ramp and emergency braking.
vertical parking is hell lot easier than parallel parking. it seemed harder but turned out to be such a breeze. you just had to go SUPER slow then sure get in one. i always forget to do safety checks though =x

ramp was fun!!! hahas. i have to make my car go up a step then brake immediately to avoid hitting a pole in front. after tt my instructor would remove the pole and i have to get the car back wheels up the step too and brake immediately so as not to drop down the step. after tt i have to bring my car down and then do a reverse. initially i didnt dare to accelerate too much and two times my front wheels where mid-step and i braked so it kind of like got stuck halfway
hahas
(:
then after i released the brake, my car rolled back
=x

but my instructor said i was real smooth on the ramp and he kept praising me. but after he praised me, i dno why but i started doing it badly
=x
one time i was driving into the range to queue up for the ramp, i wanted to drive close to the other car which was already doing reversing but he stopped me and started explaining to me that the car might hit the pole which would fly towards us and hit us if we get too near. at that exact second, as it to demonstrate, the car indeed hit the pole which flew a good distance towards us. damn scary man!
lol

emergency braking sucked. i had to be on full alert then go at a moderate speed and if he hits the err.. i dno wad tt called. but if he hits something, i have to brake immediately and press the brake all the way down without jamming the brakes. i still dont know wads the diff of tt. its totally jamming wad.. =x
then my precious coach bag dropped on the floor a million times lor. damn heart pain!!
:(
and i so love my instructor yesterday cause he let me go out on the road cause i completed ALLL the stage 3 new stages + revision alot of times and we still had an extra 20 minutes (: i was totally flying on the road!!! he kept asking me to slow down but past few weeks ive been so deprived of driving on the road that i just couldnt resist!!
(:
i think i impressed him with my driving cause at the beginning of the lesson he was doubting my ability of completing all my subjects in time to take my test which is just 3 weeks away on 12th august. he looked at the number of lessons i had(12 as of ystday) and he said normal people would take about 18-20 lessons to get to the stage i was at. so he thought i was anyhow learning and rushing my previous instructors to faster teach. but at the end of the lesson he was like,"your driving no problem la. i think u only need 6 more lesson(1 lesson to conclude stage 3 + compulsory 5 revision lessons) can take test le la. but he did mention that i need to watch my speed alot more and sometimes i fail to do safety check. ops
im such a dangerous driver
and ohya guess what! i managed to do a turn one-handed! hahahahahaha!! so fun lurh! last time i always dun dare to do one=x

i still have three point turn(not even tested) to do then ive completed my syllabus le! whee! so next lesson i'll just learn tt plus my evaluation and i'm done with my learning!!
(:

i <3 driving
