Ryan wishes he is 17 so he can drive. The hubby and I thought why not give him a cheap thrill now? Let him get a feel of what he thinks he wants. So after a New Year's day brunch of yummy dim sum, the whole family piled in the trusty pick up truck and headed off to a deserted car park. Oh, Ju brought his Ferrari helmet, too!
Anyway, we made a quick stop at the local shrine for prayers...Ryan was very excited and I think pretty scared as well cos he was the first one off the car to light the joss stick!! I think his emotions probably ran the gamut that day.
So....we got off to a slooooooow start. Luckily it was auto transmission, so no 'sei four' !! ( engine dying) , but it was a very very very boring slow drive up and down the car park. I think Ryan didn't bargain for the fact that we made him stop and actually look left ( where there will be traffic on a normal day) before he made a U turn. In short, he thought driving comprises only going straight, without looking for the back and sides!!! Anyway, since there were 2 instructors in the car , Ian and the backseat instructor aka the dad, I kept quiet. Would not help to add to the confusion!!!
Ryan did pretty well. He even attempted parking ( head in first) and on the 3rd attempt ( I think), managed to park it in the box!! And he thought parking was easy, always offering to park for me at Pyramid. Heaven forbid. :)
Perfectly in the box!!He hasn't asked for a second round...yet. Maybe that was too much stress and excitement for some time.
Success!!! ( That's me in Ju's helmet)
