Claudia asked if I was free to go play go-kart one day and invited myself and the ching chong one to the K1 Go-karting event at Sims Drive.
I was pretty worried at first as… yours truly has no driving experience and previously any experience driving was disastrous.
I remember making Tiger scream when I was driving the buggy in Bintan and also crashing the ATV many a times. I also sucks like mad when playing bumper cars.
So… I was worried that I would sucksssssssss like a noob (technically i AM a noob since everyone else there knew how to drive).
But I decided to go for it.
I didn’t count on enjoying the damn thing, in fact, I was asking to try again and again!
I gotta say…. I like driving dangerously. In the first round, I was practicing, slowing down and braking when necessarily.. but then I got a bit bored and I decided to overtake someone.
Pretty successful round.
2nd round, I was the first but I got a bit “itchy backside” and decided to overtake the last person. I sped at all turns, even “drifted” a bit and tried to squeeze in beside Claudia’s Abang. Needless to say… I “buang”. Totally crashed into the tyres.
3rd round, it was all good till…. the person infront of me, Hp suddenly stopped and I had to suddenly break, spinning myself out of control. EVERYONE thought it was my fault again!
It wasn’t my faultttttt!
Anyway… it was really an interesting experience though CCB said it was quite slow… (we were driving at 35km/hr, the ccb always drive at a very fast speed. pfft)
I’m gonna go for the next go-kart event and this time I’m gonna kick Hp’s ass! We’re probably gonna sign up for the next one on 6th Sept!
Anyway… Ching Chong Boy said I’m a very reckless driver… but at least he praised me for being able to negotiate the bends.
Hmmmm… should I go learn driving?
After all, this isn’t the face of a reckless driver…
Right?
Maybe I should have went go-karting on the 7th day of my cycle instead. Do you know that a woman’s parking skills are enhanced during the first seven days of the cycle? Maybe when I do sign up for driving lessons, I should schedule lessons only during the first seven days of my cycle.
By the way, would you suggest learning driving via school or private?
Via school is the best! Cos you don’t have to worry about getting slots for your exams and stuff!

Ah… That looks fun! Too bad I was still recovering back then… agrh…

private! if you wanna take at cdc, i can intro my instructor~! got my license in 3 months!

School. The instructors there are on better terms with the testers and will give all kinds of tips. I have a friend who went to a private instructor, and the tester wouldn’t pass him because it was his first time taking the test. :p

Hmm. If finances are tight, private means you pay much less. About 40-50% lesser than school lessons.
If you got some time on your hands, then invest time… leave the money-spending to the ones who are rich and want to rush through the learning process!
I managed to complete everything for my class 3(basic theory, advanced theory, practical) in less than 8 months and under $1500. I know of some people who spent more than $2-3k for school lessons!
But anyway just do all the theories first, they got long waiting time. You can decide to do private or school within 2 years after you got your advanced theory passed
Good luck and drive safe!

And to add on… School means you got to fork out about $2000 upfront… but private means you pay after each lesson.
