Swim, Play and Drive

It has been around 2 or 3 weeks since I last swam. I foresaw that it would rain in the evening (since it is always the case that every evening it rains these days), so I decided to swim on the morning. But Yi Sheng SMSed the night before to call for a jog. In the end, he joined me in swimming instead.

As I expected, the morning sun was super hot, and I had a great swim. I swam for around 20 plus laps, while Yi Sheng swam exactly 40 laps! Then, we had lunch in Century Square Food Junction and headed to Fairprice to run an errand for my mum (She is a crazy loyal Fairprice customer, she can purchase things there at least twice per week).

In the afternoon, I rotted at home watching anime and surfed the web. Tired of computer stuff, I will turn to my DS to play the old games again. Then, when evening arrived, the dark clouds came as if they were rushing to send rain to my area. Heavy rainpour started around 6pm, and that was the time I suppose to learn driving!

My instructor came around 6.30pm, and the rain was still heavy. Too bad, still have to drive. I thought it would be bad since the roads are slippery. It turned out pretty fine. Haha, maybe I think too much. The rain started to get smaller when I drove to Pasir Ris area. It was my 9th lesson, and I drove to the usual carpark area and practised all the turning skills. Now, it was time for me to learn the 2nd last basic driving skill - 3 point turn. First, my instructor taught me reversing skill first. I must get the hang of that reversing before I can 'turn'. When I got the idea of reversing, I can finally try to 'turn', and I screwed up big time. Partially due to his blur explanation... I have to just try and let him point out my mistakes... Haha, if not I will just waste my time ask him to repeat the theory verbally and I still could not make out what he trying to say... I still have to say that 3 point turn is the most difficult skill!
