Updating on my progress on my driving...

Hello my friends! Those who still read my blog. Yes I am here to update about my driving again. Recently have been feeling quite low morale and having quite a couple of nightmares about failing my driving test because i cancelled quite a number of lessons and the instructor never rearrange lessons for me!!! he like super bo chap sia. I understand at least need clock min no of hrs in order to be ready for test de..anyway. First of all, i would like to say that manual driving is NOT fun at all! 1) Relationship with the clutch and accelerator pedal must be good - I always step on the accelerator too much before releasing my clutch pedal, thus u can hear the very noisy engine sound brrrrrrrr-----ng! Or my engine stalled. Meaning i let go of my clutch too much and step on too little accelerator. Damn lao4 kuei3 especially when there is a SSDC car behind me (i'm learning via private school) You know they always claim their students have higher passing rate than private school students. So I'm gg to make sure I pass and make private school proud! aiya me n my little ego la HAHAHA. 2) Switching gears. Still no feel with the gear stick. Always got the phobia i switch to the wrong gear hahaha so i tend to peep with the corner of my left eye n this endanger those on the road cuz I won't be paying full attention to the road. 3) Mount curb - I just hit high record at the circuit today man! mount curb here and there. the moment i felt the wheel went up the curb my heart sank. i think my heart will stop pumping when it happened during my test. HAHAHA. Seriously dunno y my stupid mind keep thinking i have to keep my steering wheel turned even when im back on the straight course. (instructor had to keep correcting my wheel cuz he said i tend to steer to right side. probably cuz im on the right side LOL!) 4) Stopping on slope and moving off without rollback - Gulp! This one i really jammed hard on the accelerator to ensure when i release my handbrake i won't roll back and freak out the cars behind me man...so far ok la... 5) Vertical and parallel parking - Alot ppl say parallel parking is harder than vertical. To me parallel is easier!!! it's like i just have to memorise the moves that's all. Whereas vertical i tend to mount curb... =3= To summarize i need more practise man! I almost ramped over some cyclists/passerby or van when i did turning or turn to the wrong lane during previous lesson. Have to keep telling myself it's ok to make ALOT of mistakes so i know what to react when i encounter some real life situation during my test. N of cuz to me if im not good enough i also won't wish the tester to pass me also la. so i have to be 争气点 =。=
