Okay so the day started off with me handing over my DOS duty to Shafik. Immediately went home 'cos I had my first bike Pract 1 at 1245pm. So I left it a little late...as usual... and began calling around my friends on what to bring for the lesson and stuff. Nawaz said I'm crazy for booking a Practical lesson immediately after doing my DOS duty. I think he fears I might fall asleep at the handles of the bike or something. Hahaha. Just for the record bro, I didn't. Haha.
I turned up at the registration counter some 10 mins ahead of time... only to be reprimanded by the instructor because apparently I was supposed to be there an hour ahead of time for orientation. Gee. How was I to know seh? I was rushed through the procedures and even bought them ugly durian gloves compulsory for the lesson from the canteen. Sheesh.
Made a new friend today. This pretty girl called Shahirah turned around, approached me and made small talk, and turns out she's also a first-time learner. Very friendly of her. Poor girl, she fell off the bike several times and had difficulty controlling the bike and its weight. Me? Thanks to my absence during the orientation period the hour before, I was pretty much clueless as to how this hunk of metal masquerading as a machine operated. Again, I was given a brief run-through, and for a person going through a crash-course, I did pretty ok I guess. I didn't fall off the bike or anything, though my fren did crash into my rear from behind around a bend. Urm okaaay that sounds wrong. Hahah.
And the cramps! No wonder the instructor led us for a warm-up exercise before the lesson. In trying to prevent the bike from tilting while stationary, I suffered butt cramps from exerting my gluteus maximus-es too much. It's no fun I tell you, having butt cramps and not being able to do anything about it because there are girls to your left and right. Yowza.
Next Pract next week! Woohoo I'm enjoying this =)
