Heat-seeking

I've definitely become more confident in my driving skills!
Went for a spin in the circuit for the first time today.

Tried out the crank course, S-course, directional change, uphill driving, vertical & parallel parking. Really had a good time learning. At first I didn't know that the speed inside the circuit had to be kept low. So I increased to almost 40 !

Gotten a nag by my instructor for that !!!

He said I was a good driver, but I don't listen to instructions. And I can become too over-confident.
Well, he's right. I have my flaws. Which I need to put the sharp-edged sword at.

The conversation we had was quite funny. Oh yeah, it's in Chinese.
(During the S-Course driving)
ME: "Aiya! 这个 narrow course 很容易啦 !"
Instructor: "容易？容易你就自己try 吧! 我不会跟你讲。"
ME: "Okay, 我 try."
Instructor: (HAHA!)

I managed to complete the S-Course without a problem！

ME: "你看！"
Instructor: "哇！你驾车真的不错！但是有个问题。" (Talking about my recklessness)
ME: "我知道啊。But 我会用脑想的。眼睛看路。我爸爸有跟我这样讲过。"
Instructor: "你爸爸？Then 你爸爸有没有跟你说要听老师的话？！"

LOL ! I tried answering his 'question', but he went on to talked about being too over-confident and all the other stuff I need to know.

Driving isn't easy. Takes discipline, responsibility and care. Alot of care!
No problem, I think. Should be fine. I just need to continue possessing all these.
I really want to get my license quick. Even though without a car. The ability to drive is just some 'freedom' in my life!
