12th Feb 2009 - rek

Woke up groggy and went for driving lessons. cough seems to be much better now.

The first instructor today was very detailed in instructing. he expects me to push up to a higher gear whenever possible.
After his lessons, i learn that, even when turning, you also can push up gear. cos in a wide turn, if you proceed to turn at only gear 1, it will be very very slow. checking of blind spot needs to be swift and sharp.
The second instructor only took me once but he remembers my bad habits of glancing at the dashboard, pedals and gear. he spoke to me in hokkien from time to time. hahaha. while trying to absorb his instructions, sometimes i dont react to his commands fast enough. haiz...

today's pointers,
checking blind spots must be fast.
Listen to the vehicles rather than looks at the meters.
U-turning must be sharp and returning fast.
Sighting, as per normal, have to practice more. look farther ahead when driving straight. look at the right areas when turning.

After lesson, went over to meet boon to walk ard bras brasah looking at books.
For dinner, after looking through various resturants, we finally settled at the ramen shop in marina square.


Set A at $15 (exclusive of GST)
1 ramen below $11
1 side dish below $6
1 can drink

Set B at $18 (exclusive of GST)
1 ramen above $11
1 side dish below $7
1 can drink

We went for set A. ramen wise is ok... no big hooha. average...
but the resturant was nice and quiet, ideal for chatting.
