well... everyone loves driving

i realised i had loads of encounters when learning driving.

There was a daihatsu exhibition at sembawang shopping center, showcasing SUVs and compact hatchback cars, which I was pretty interested in cause I couldn't really fit into a normal sedan.
I'm never destined to drive normal sedans, let alone sports car, I'll look like I'm in a fisherprice toy car. you guys know fisherprice toy cars? those cars children would ride on in toys r' us. c'mon you gotta know fisherprice! where's your childhood.
I tried out this pretty cool SUV. spacious. just right for me.
then I started having way too much fun, thinking that the entire car is dead.
I flashed the high beam repeatedly, on off on off on off on off on off on off on off on off on off on off on off on off on off on off on off on off on off on off on off, without realising the lights were actually working!
the malay family in front of the car was looking at me jaw dropped! i waved in apology. damn. so embarrassing. man that was hilarious.

another time i was in for driving simulator. it's a machine to train drivers to minimise accident impacts.
I was the first to try out this machine, thinking that 'well must be some game'.
I was with 2 other students which I don't know.
10 minutes passed and it was fun. the graphics were pretty realistic and everything went smoothly.
Out of nowhere! a container truck dashed out of a junction.

Anyone with a right mind would stamp hard on the brake pedal.
Having no idea what's wrong with me.
I go like "ARGHH!!!", with the back of my hands covering my face.
I provided entertainment for everyone.
