My First Whizzcar Drive


Today i rented a car from Whizzcar Car rental and drove all around Singapore all alone.
I was so scared i couldnt even pluck enough courage to drive out of the 5 storey carpark.
But with enough will power..... i finally plucked enough courage to drive out.
I guess i was scared coz i was driving alone for the first time.
Usually someone is beside me when i drive.

It was a real eye opener for me coz i was near accident a few times.... luckily i return the car in one piece.

1st) I break last minute coz i last min saw the traffic light turn red....my bag flew off the car seat.
2nd) I tried to change lane on the left.....then a taxi was going into that lane too... i didnt check and he horned me so loudly.I was afraid i decide not to change lane.
3rd) I was so close to a bus.....almost hit in on the left...luckily no....

Nevertheless i made an achievement.... i manage to find my way through reading road signs.... i'm so bad at reading the street directory....though i brought it along wif me.

I drove from Clementi to my home.....before home i made a trip to the petrol station to fill up full tank. The tank cap couldnt be opened....so tight i guess...luckily one of the pump attendant manage to open it at last. After that i wanted to drive off but my car wouldnt go.... only to realise later that i didnt turn the ignition key properly....but the engine was on...so malu man....i have such bad car knowledge.

After that i drove to bishan....then u-turn and drove all the way to paya lebar via normal road not highway....i was driving straight all the way when i reached a point i dont know how to turn back.
Luckily i saw PIE......I decide to turn in and drive the car to clementi....
I was too early when i reached clementi...so i drive around clementi and practiced my parking (twice). Once in a carpark in clementi....once in the carpark i collect my car.

When i returned the car... i made a wrong turn...end up cannot drive upwards...
Had a hard time trying to reverse the car but later managed to drive my way up....
I will make sure i dont miss the entry point next time.....

Before returning the car i took a few pictures......loved the car man....wished i had one...but no....
Nevermind at least i achieved something today...to drive alone without someone guiding me.....hehehe....
