How I learn to Drive to Actors Studio Bangsar

As you know, Hwei Ming, the little big boy enjoys cruising on the high way, at speed beyond the reach of a Kancil. I'm always imagine myself as an F1 driver.. speeding through the road, turning here, turning there... Hoping my ABS, EBS, Trashing Control, Air Bags, Seat Belt and other safety features of the car don't fail that will cause me my life if it do..


*Touch Wood*

I remembered...the day, when I started to drive, got knock in the 3rd day of driving by a Kereta Lembu in my very own Kereta Lembu... Moo...

One thing in particular that I still remembered during my "L" days was...
A conversation I had with my driving Instructor....
"Pernah pandu tak kamu?"
Me,"Tak pernah.."
"ok... sekarang, tekan clutch, lepas tu, tekan minyak, lepas clutch dan jalan"
Me, nodding my head, trying to register what he said...
and, He, push his chair back and SLEPT!!

WTF!!??!!

I remembered my car bouncing, rocking the instructor to sleep.. :p

Then, the car felt like so heavy, like rock and I starting thinking of traffic accident...

Then, it got heavier...

and heavier!!!
But hey, did I also mention that, despite of being totally ignored while learning driver, wasn't so bad at all!! Instructor won't marah, cause sleeping..haha....
So, I got the hang of it, and driving, began to be a normal thing...

And something like below, hopefully won't happen.. :D
Anyway, there is another How I Learn to Drive experience going on... Haha...WTF.. Two Learning to Drive Experience?

haha... Read on...

Paula Vogel's How I Learned to Drive



Growing up in a family with thin, penetrable personal boundaries, Li'l Bit becomes the victim of an incestuous intimacy - Uncle Peck does not only teach his teenage niece to drive, but sexualises her childhood as well.

Narrated through a series of bittersweet flashbacks, How I Learned to Drive is an honest, coming-of-age account on forgiveness, healing and growth – and how one can find light even from the unhealthiest of relationships.

How I Learned to Drive was first produced in 1997 in New York City and has since been awarded, in addition to the Pulitzer: the Obie, the Drama Desk Award, the New York Drama Critics Award, the Outer Circle Critics Award, and the Lucille Lortel Award.

Featuring Amelia Chen, Johann Lim, Doreen Loo, Davina Goh and Mark Beau de Silva, with Kelvin Wong as Creative Director.

Presented by The Oral Stage. Supported by Living Arts and Autodetailer.
