My Driving Lessons
Time passes so fast and before I knew it, today's my number 6th Class 3A practial lesson and I am lovin' every minute of it :)
My 2 driving instructors, 1 Malay and the other Chinese, are nice, friendly and patient. My last 4 lessons are taught by the Chinese instructor. No ulterior motives ok, peeps ! He's married with a daughter and besides, he is just a person I can talk to. Just a nice, fatherly or brotherly person, like those you see in the churches or temples, hehe.
Let's call him AA.
AA only told me today, towards the end of our lesson that he thought I was just a student ! So long no sane person had ever commented that I look like a student liao !! Maybe I was dressed casually in T-shirts and jeans everytime I went for the lessons ??? Anyway, that is not to the point of what I wanted to say here.
He asked me whether am I thinking of getting a car after I obtain my license. He added that there is a cheap new car brand that costs only around SGD20-30K with COE and every month, the monthly instalment is only like SGD 200 plus with its small tank of 1-1.5 litres and petrol is gonna cost something like less than SGD200 each month ! Got such a good deal meh??
No worries, he wasn't a part time car salesman or something, just commenting that driving a car is a personal choice, a simple luxury and if I have the means to buy a car and maintaining it, go get it !
Me : Maybe not this time round bah.
AA : It can also motivate you to work harder for your money, in order to maintain a car every month.
Me : No, no, I dun want to get myself a liability when I dun think I will drive every day to work. Furthermore I work in town leh ! Think of all the ERP and whatever fees I have to pay every day !
AA : But you are a young, swinging single mah, no worries, no nothing to pay for ! A lady somemore ! Can get someone to pay for you one lah.....
Me : Me not so lucky, no one to pay for me leh.
AA : Get your bf to pay for you lor !!
Me : I have no bf now but even I have a bf, I wun necessarily get him to pay for my car ! I can pay for my own ! I dun wanna be too overly-dependent on a bf......
But then, some gals I came to know of, help to pay for their bf's car expenses leh !
What the world is coming to these days ??
Though tempted I am to purchase a small car on my own, thou shall not make an impulsive buy like this ! Buying a car is like getting a wife or having a baby ! And the wife or baby will get sick or something right ? Then need to send her to the doctor's !
Maybe when I am more financially-independent or when it has truly become a need, will I seriously think of getting my own set of wheels :)
Anyway, AA said that my driving skills are not bad leh ! My corner and zebra crossing-turnings are good ! My straight-road and brakings are ok only though -_-
Need to get the hang of driving.
