Our driving weekends..

Our driving weekends~~

Haha finally post up.. our 3 and 1/2 days of driving experience.. not totally smooth but considered not bad for the first time I think. It's been three mths since I gotten my licence. *Smile*





Look at our tired faces haa..









Went for rounds and rounds of spin with Amelia last wkend, we rented a Toyota Axio from '"A" Car Rental' for Fri till Mon, 8/5/09 - 11/5/09.
Hehz.. it was no doubt a fun and enjoyable driving experience! However, there's some hiccups during the journey that's gonna cost us a bomb, coming Mon..

Alright, what's happened has happened.. no point dwelling over it.. Here's the car! :)




Toyota Axio - Apple green. The car is indeed quite big just like what my colleagues say..
We saw a Toyota Axio - White, well that's our dream colour for cars haha!









Our driving journey.. Day 1 to 4:


First day - Excited fresh start!
Went to "collect" the car at about 12+pm @ Bedok Reservoir View.
Top up the petrol from the originally given 1/4 to full tank (the Caltex near TP), costs about $45 after some discount.
First thing we did, parking! Haha.. if we can't park properly, think we cannot go to most of the places. So practise time @ the multi-storey carpark near Ame's house..
Next, Amelia's cousin house @ Siglap for the 3-point turn & parking again.
East Coast Park -Big Splash, went to "Old Town" for our late lunch.. think is around 2+pm. Had prawn noodle while Ame, Ipoh Hor Fun. Yet to try the Nasi Lemak, looks yummy!
Drove off to Changi General Hospital for an errand and back to Ame's house.
My office carpark for 3-point turning and parallel parking. Though not well done.. but still managed to park nicely into the lot. It's about 5pm le.. saw my 2nd Boss coming out from the office side door haa.. hide hide abit keke..
Next, to Kallang Mac carpark for both parallel and reverse parking.
Time for some dessert @ Gelare Siglap haha.. before our dinner @ Ame's cousin house.
Parked the car overnight @ Bedok 110 carpark.. $4.50 cos we've forgotten that the next day is a PH -Vesak Day.. free parking. ^^!
Smooth driving today. =)


Second day - Super tiring & sleepy!

Ame drove her mom and I to her Granny's place @ Bedok South.





The cactus plant @ Ame's granny house.







Telok Blangah for breakfast dim sum. Followed by...


Henderson Waves - the 9km bridge.. we just walked for a short distance approx. 1km.





















My turn to drive to West Coast Mac followed by Kent Ridge Park..
Back to Ame's home.
Fetch my mom back from her workpl @ Tampines.
Back to home sweet home, wash up abit.. the weather so hot!
Meet Enghui & Alex @ Parkway for dinner at Sakae Sushi, thus parked our car @ the multi-storey carpark OMG... super squeezy two-way!
Went "Old Hong Kong" @ Katong for some drinks..
Drove back to Ame's house, parked at the multi-storey and bunk at her pl that night.
Not so smooth driving for us that day.


Third day - Feeling just normal.
Intended to wash the car but.. haha couldn't wake up so... and it was raining quite heavily that morning.
We both wakey at about 8+am.
Drove to Expo. Ame's church service every Sun.
Back to Ame's house nearby for lunch.
Take a nap hee..
Back to home sweet home - Dinner out with family for Mother's day @ 85 Market. Ordered a few dishes to share as we are small eaters.. fried oyster, hokkien mee, sambal stingray & sugarcane juice with lemon.
Ame came to fetch me @ 110 Bedok and we drove out again!
My turn to drive.. Katong - Marine Parade - Pasir Ris -Tampines -Ame's house multi-storey carpark.
Alright, that ended the day. Smooth driving for today. =)


Fourth day - Last driving!
Waited for Ame @ 110 Bedok as usual.
I drove to my workpl.. time was still early so we went for breakfast @ Roxy 1.
Parked the car at my office's carpark till 1pm. Rainy day..
We had to return the car by 2.45pm to the same pl - Bedok Reservoir View.
We gotta pay for some car damages.. wonder how much in all. Have to wait till Mon when the workshop ppl access the damage condition of the car. Repairing alone, est. about $350+ plus the two days rental charge (cos car at the workshop) about $170 for weekdays.
Well.. we know that accidents are sometimes inevitable.. no one wants this to happen. We've been alert and cautious so I think lack of experience and judgement is the cause.. think we gotta drive more often, gain more experience and thus improve. =) Hmm.. but exp leh..
