Yay!!
I drove on Thursday 30th of August 2007.
Yes, I am on my way to a license (fingers crossed). The Toyota Corolla handled well. My instructor, Robert something, was a very nice Englishmen who married a S'poren that has two children , one studying in Perth and the other in Melbourne. His step-daughter cant cook (a 2min noodle in 10 mins) but his wife is an excellent one, he loves going to S'pore for the food, especially the chicken rice.
haha... as u can see, he started a nice convo with me to keep me relaxed. haha...
A car is an amazing thing, the control and power you feel is really something. That you can control a 1 tonne machine to do aythin you want is such a cool feeling. Being in the driver's seat, the engineering that goes into a car is simply amazing, even for a standard hatch back like a Corolla. So much though and ingeunity has gone into the thousands of parts, put together into a nice package so that you can move around in a sleek metal box. Think abt that the next time ya driving.
It is a nice feeling to be doing something new, i feel a little more alive. That effect has carried on over today. I feel adventurous and the need to explore. (I did my first toilet grafiti in the Bailieu Library toilet today, it was a nice feeling to join in the Aussie culture of toilet grafiti. Most of it is rubbish, but on occassion, you do get interesting stuff that makes you go Ahhhh...) I hope this feeling carries on and I keep this mindset, I seem to feel more appreciative of life in this mindset. Haha....
Life is not bad atm.

Wouldn't you have driven tanks and god knows what else during your military days?
Don't you start forgetting who helped you when you get your driving license. This might have been your first official lesson, but I think I did alright in your unofficial lesson. Haha. Was pretty funny. Especially when we accidently hit the freeway. Wen was so scared. :)
No Nirm, I did not drive tanks. Haha.. i was infantry, i did a helluva of walking. Thats why I'm so fit! ahahah!!
