3 months and 2 days after i got my driving license, i finally got to drive! drove the family to the ulu tuas area after dinner, it's my first time manipulating auto transmission and also my first time driving in the evening. it's quite scary as it's dark everywhere and vision isn't as good but the auto mode made it quite a breeze to drive.
as expected, got quite a few scoldings from dad. he told me there was a U-turn ahead but it turned out to be a roundabout. as it was really dark and i wasn't familiar with the road, i made a really abrupt turn which gave all of us (including myself) a shock. lol.
i'd also almost forgotten how to park! the tiny multi-storey carpark made the whole parking experience even more tricky. dad was very impatient, instructing me to turn here and there; mom tried to help by giving me her own set of instructions which made me more panicky. i'm thankful to sis for helping me to calm the both of them down, i guess she's the only one who truly understands how i feel cos she's been through all these as well.
i can't recall how i manage to place the car in the correct position, but i'm really glad i did it! despite all the naggings and scoldings, it was a fun drive! looking forward to the next one soon! :D
