driving with mama :P

**Caution! This is a long entry!**

Salam,

Driving a car. Adakah anda suka?

Ya sememangnya bila ditanyakan pasti banyak akan berkata "Iya! Pasti! Of course~" dan sebilangan kecil sahaja akan berkata "Em..tak. Ish benci la! Oh no no noooo!"

But if you ask Aisyah..hermmm

Al-kisah pada satu pagi, Aisyah and her mum when to the pasar. After breakfast and buying groceries,(her kakak and little sister are coming home today!Yay!) they headed back home.

Aisyah, who haven't drive for so long ask her mum if she can drive home. Her mum, hesitate for awhile, but finally gave in and gave her the car key.

Aisyah was thrill!

She starts the engine, press the clutch pedal and switch to reverse gear. Slowly she released the clutch while carefully balancing light pressure on the accelerator (Aisyah have a wide histories of mati engine. Who doesn't ek?). The 8 years old kancil slowly starts to move. Aisyah was smiling.

Then suddenly another car was behind them! Aisyah remains calm (Aisyah also have history of panic attack when there's other car nearby when driving) but her mum already giving instructions on properly reversing the car. Aisyah listened carefully and try to follow her instructions but the car abruptly mati enjin. Cis! So Aisyah tried to start the engine again.

Zzzzzzzghhh!

Alamak, again

Zzzzzzzghhhh!

She tried several times but to no vail. The sound of engine as expected, attracts some 'concern' Malaysians. (reminder: Aisyah is still within the pasar compund)

So, Aisyah's mum offered to drive out to spare her the embarassment,"Mama reverse, nanti Aisyah drive kat lua ya"

Aisyah changed seats while muttering some unpleasant words to herself. Her mum reversed the car and drive out smoothly.

Outside the pasar, Aisyah and her mum changed seats again. These time, she has no problem driving. Aisyah is smiling again. Gear 1, switch to gear 2, pick up..swicth to gear 3. Easy bezzy.

Everything seems fine until they reached to a busy junction. Her mum keep on lecturing about how she should drive slow and not fast-according to her, below 50kmph is accetapble. (????)

At the junction, Aisyah didn't switch to the proper gear. (She blames the old kancil itself :p) The car starts to jerk, and abruptly-again, mati enjin. Another car is behind them. Aisyah quickly starts the engine, the car jolt in front. She tries again, and the same thing happened.(Aisyah feels as though she's riding a horse :P) Aisyah panicked. Her mum panicked.

Her mum keep on bising about changing gears. Aisyah-who become more panic because of her mum, finally realized something; the gear is not in neutral. That explain for the jerking and jolting. So Aisyah switched the gear to neutral and starts the engine again.

Gedegdeggeeee..the engine car starts.

Aisyah quickly switch the gear and press the accelerator to speed up. Luckily there was only one car on the other side of the road. Aisyah believes she did some aksi-aksi orang ber racing atau drifting because she seriously think she saw her mum holding her seat belt and have that fear look on her.

The rest of journey, was oke with Aisyah's mum, continue to nag about gear, practice and straight road.



Aisyah's advice: When driving with you're mum...emmm..AWAS!!
