1st Ride Home

Ling woke up this morning feeling stressed as it's her practical driving test... Dropped her off at the AMK driving centre on my way to work... I waited anxiously at office for time to pass and for Ling to update me on her results...

9:45am, my phone rang... Ling proudly annouced that she had passed her practical driving test. Very happy that she was able to pass on her 1st attempt and it also spelt the end of my trip to AMK driving centre and prata night snacks. Reminded her to bring the "P" plate to office so that she could drive the car home in the evening.

After a quick dinner at Funan, I drove off to AMK to swap driver... a route which Ling knew very well... reached and I got out of the drivers seat and officially handed the car to Ling... carried out the adjustment of the seat and mirrors and off we went...

I would describe the short drive from Upper Thomson road, SLE to Woodlands as enjoyable... me became a diving mentor instantly and enjoying it, then realised how stressful driving instructors are with their students on the road...

Stop by parents house to drop off some snacks, courtesy of Ling for passing her driving test... decided that she should continue with the drive up the car park and park the car. Gave Ling a short brief on how to use the car windows to vertical park... off we go again :)

Round and round the multi-storey car park... all the way to level 4B... very stressful for Ling to drive an unfamiliar car and with a car trailing behind... not forgetting a very vocal mentor beside her :p

Finally reached level 4B where there're ample lots for Ling to do her 1st vertical parking without pole... slowly she reversed the car into the lot, and well it was a very good one for a 1st timer!

Mum said that she's looking forward to Ling driving her this weekend :) Thanks Mum for the support and belief of Ling's drving skills.

So much for now, will asked Ling to update on her personl experience. tata
