Woah! Today is Such a long long day. I'm exhausted - really. I had Amali bike training and it started at about 8am and it ended at 4.30pm. Okay so,what we did there...Firstly, we had this 1 1/2 hours of lecture about the process on getting your L,P, and full license. Then later he talked about the test that we're going to overcome and stuff like that. Nothing much there but at least he was not as BORING as the undang-undang lecture that I gone through the last time. Oh my gosh! That lecture lasted 5 hours and it was pure plain ol' talking.

I almost fall asleep in that 5 hour class. Heh....And to thought that I was bad already,there's this guy beside me who slept literally througout the whole session. I was astonished that he could actually pay (yea,we had to pay for the lecture and it costs alot and that 5 hours of lecture is compulsory if you want to get your L license.) and sleep in the class.

Anyway,after that 1 1/2 hours, we had a short break and I pre-packed my lunch. Yum. It was pure grain bread ,no sugar,just nice yummy plain grain bread. Super good for your health *there I go again...nag,nag,nag about healthy food,I bet Weng yan would shut her eyes - tight.* together with a layer of tuna soaked in mineral water and a layer of cheese and an apple nicely sliced.

After my lunch, we had the bengkel part where we learned how to change tires.Pretty fun really and it's not that much of a hard job just that there's this guy (is he even a guy or what?) who doesn't even know how to judge which spanner to use with which size nut. I guess he never touched a spanner or ever seen one before. Now,I wonder what did he do during his kemahiran hidup lessons. That's no excuse for a guy - even I,as a proud female can do it. *nyeh nyeh nyeh*

Later it was the practical part. Nearly everyone there knew the inside out of how to ride and control the bike already,except for me and this other chinese guy. Bleh. Anyway,it was pretty fun and I guess I can say I learned a new skill today - riding a full,geared bike.That feeling was awesome!

Although I wasn't good at the track and the hardest part is the plank test. It was sh*t! Such a small plank and you will the fail the 'plank-test' (as I call it) if:
  • your leg touched the groud
  • if you dropped off the plank
  • you passed that plank less than 7 seconds
  • if your bike,the back wheel,went off the plank even if from start you didn't drop off.
That was real hard and in order to pass the Part 2 practical test you have to score 5/5.Not even one fail and out of that 5, each there're all together 4 criteria that you'll have to pass and it's not easy. Wait till you have the chance to go for bike's license.

This is tricky but I'll soon overcome it! At least it is easier than 'pirate's plank of doom'

Nevertheless,I had a great experience!It's a wholesome tiring day.
