Auto car.

I got my taste of driving an auto car today.

It is so so so shiok sia.

By the way, the car I drove was a 2-week old Honda City just recently purchased by BBDC.

And I practically cheonged in this Honda City for 100 minutes.

Drove to places I didn’t drive to before.

Passed by SIM. Passed by Beauty World. Everywhere where I usually take one afternoon to cycle to, I completed everything in less than 100 minutes.

And I don’t have to worry about the clutch and all those stuff. However, it can get boring at times without changing gear.

Just step accelerator, and step on brake. No sweat man. No need change gear, no need half-clutch.

I think the action of changing gear is damn seh. So I might still rent manual car in future.

And my instructor taught me this thing called kick down.

In other words, this is to step on the accelerator all the way until it is so fast sia. You feel the car surging forward just like how a plane takes off.

So I was speeding along Bukit Batok road today. Going at 100km/h.

The feeling is shiok.

But I find that the acceleration of auto car is slower than that of manual car.

Anyway, auto car is super easy to drive. But the petrol consumption is higher than manual car.

One bad thing though. The engine brake of auto car is useless. So you have to depend on the footbrake a lot.

This is one bad thing for me. When I drive, I don’t really use the footbrake a lot.

Expect a safety driver in me when I drive auto cars.

But expect one Takumi Fujiwara in me when I drive manual cars.

I feel carefree in today’s driving lesson.

Makes me want to get a car too.

Ok. I’m reading blogs at this point of time now that my Football Manager is loading so slowly.

I’ve resigned from that hospital job. Really sucky job. No difference from NS. Which is why I’m so free. Somemore my dad gladly sponsored me the Taiwan trip.

I’m a rich guy now.

But it was during the hospital job I started watching 10am dramas. That’s when I take my break.

And noticed the long lost 朱乐玲.

As for Joanne Peh. If she were 4 years younger, I would have gone after her.

Now cars. Seriously. I feel the power of the acceleration in manual cars. But I feel nothing in auto cars.

Until I reach a very high speed that is.

Well. Tomorrow is auto lesson number 2. I can’t wait to try that kick down thingy again.

That is the only thing that feels as power as the acceleration of manual cars.

But auto cars are super easy to drive. I wonder why Jasmine learns auto car sia. Seriously, there is nothing much to learn. She has lost out a lot.

And I smell people talking behind my back elsewhere huh?

*coughs loudly

Why, Mr Kavin Aw? Afraid that Mr Poon will come after you after talking behind his back here at my blog huh?

Actually, he does come here see see look look. That was when he still blogs.

But he seldom comes nowadays.

Or rather, if he comes here, I should treat him as a VIP.

So if you want to suan him about his driving skills or question his 10 points, you are welcome to do it here.

Don’t worry. Anything ask him come look for me.
