::Bleh.

My bike practical yesterday was so disastrous that I'm still trying to forget it. (Obviously, I don't want to blog about it, huh?)

Anyway,
went to make booking today, on my trusty 'little' blue bikey.
Sunday morning is not a good time to ride near churches and markets.
All the people who usually don't drive much either go to church or to market and the way they drive is like =_="".

I was making a right turn near the church at my place and there was a car going straight, yes, I know right turning vehicles are supposed to give way to straight going ones, but not when the straight going ones are far away, right?
Then, as I made the turning, I heard the driver step on the accelerator?
In that way like, damn, must overtake that bicycle.
The damn car was racing with a bicycle!
Dude, you don't get a prize for winning a race against a bicycle, you know?

And I met 4 groups of training bikes on the roads.
Some of the instructors recognised me I think, cause they kept looking in my direction.
However, I was too busy to notice who they were, anyway, most instructors look the same with their helmets on.... unless they're very skinny or very fat or whatever.
Up to now, I'm still wondering if I unintentionally did anything wrong or dangerous in front of them and whether they're going to give me shit about it at my next practical lesson.
Ok man, I try my best to behave, but everyone screws up sometimes and people like me..... well..... *sigh*.

Half of a group of training bikes forgot to prepare to slow down or stop at the pedestrian crossing near my house.
The first one was surprised by a pedestrian and stopped abruptly.
The second and third one were surprised and stopped like all stuck together to the first one.
Orh hor, riding in left lane yet never watch out for pedestrians.
Then I myself was so distracted by the goings on that I forgot to stop at the traffic light.
He he he!
But I let the pedestrians cross anyway, so it should be ok.
That traffic light there is a damn waste of money.
There's so little traffic there that everyone just crosses the road anywhere and whenever they like.
(I know cause I do it too..... hehe)
So maybe they were genuinely surprised by the 'guai-ness' (law-abiding behaviour) of that particular pedestrian.
