Oh my.. I’m in a tension mood right now due to the fact that I will start my driving lesson tomorrow. Why?
1. I am scare that I won’t be able to drive and park the big butt Innova after 10 days. It is a manual MPV and not small city car like Hyundai Atoz, wei.
2. My mum is relying on me to be the driver when my Dad is outstation.
3. The fact that it is a new car (1 week old as of today) makes me feel more tension. How if I scratch it or accidentally bang into something? You know, there is so many bumpy and small street in Medan. Not only that, everyone drives like mad horse and I doubt my own skill.
4. I am not a multitask person, hence I scare I will be confuse working with the gear and brake altogether.
However, die die also I have to success in this driving lesson. I can’t end up don’t know how to park like 5 years ago. Luckily there is no driving test in Indonesia in order to get the driving license.
This time I will learn using Toyota Kijang LGX with air-con, unlike 5 years ago when I have to use the old Kijang without air-con and power-steering. Ugh. The lesson starts at 9.30am for 30 minutes and last for 12 days; 2 days introduction to the car’s machine, how to change tyre bla bla bla and the other 10 days for driving and parking itself.
Wish me luck!
