The driving lesson evaluation for today? Excellent! Finished 5 sections and I'm on to module 2 already. It was fortunate that I was under the tutelage of two very nice instructors.
The car's controls feel quite very natural to me now, the braking power, the sound of the biting point, feel of the revs, it's all coming naturally to me. Too bad there's no possibility of me practicing on my own. No matter, as long as I can fly through the roads, I will feel that rush. That trance-like state where I'm not even consciously thinking of driving. There was once I unknowingly shifted to 3rd gear and was travelling right over the limit at close to 75km/h. Had the instructor worried for a while there, and of course I slowed down. =p
Anyway, I left the driving center feeling very pleased and headed doewn to kallang to meet up with Waihoh and Tim to go Kayaking. It's been awhile since the course, but hey, at least I can still make the kayak travel in a straight path.
Although the day's session was tiring, it felt good. Just floating along on the Kallang basin, and just taking in the sights. I must say that the Shear's Bridge is quite a sight to behold. Tim and Waihoh proceeded outside the boundaries of the Shear's Bridge, but I chose to stay in. Not entirely confident that I can hold my own in the open seas.
In conclusion? Today was great!
