Before attending lessons we are required to wear a number tag according to the lessons you are going. Once I got the number tags, I will tell the instructor the number I'm holding and also give the instructor my training booklet.
SSDC requires all students to do a warm up exercise before every practical lesson which came as a surprise for me because my previous school doesn't do it.
This is where they keep the helmets, they are sorted into 2 different colours each represent a different timing. I still strongly advise to get your own pair of helmets as it is more hygienic and personal.
The motorcycles we are using are the blue ones for class 2B, Honda CB125E.
Okay back to my experience.
On 19/01/2015, I attended my first practical lesson. Before we start going to our bikes the instructor ask all of us if any of us have experience in riding which I meekly replied "yes". It was a super embarrassing experience as he gave me stare and look as if I rode my bike illegally...But before he say anything I continue to say I was from BBDC previously. My instructor gave a small laugh and called another instructor which I never got his name and told him there's a competitor school's student ._. Almost want to dig a hole and bury myself but in the end I'm really thankful to the instructor if not I have to repeat all those basic lessons which I don't need. Okay anyway, the new instructor ask me to ride a few rounds, stop, move, stop, change to gear 2, stop in gear 1. It gets kind of boring you know...I did the same thing for around 10 mins? And the instructor ask me to join another group which are doing lesson 1 part 2 which requires us to shift gears smoothly, accelerate/decelerate with proper co-ordination and brake smoothly according to road and traffic condition. Which I pass, yay!
On 20/01/2015, I attended lesson 2, we are required to know traffic rules and regulations, safety checks, stop and more off from slope, narrow plank and pylon slalom. Successfully pass the lesson on first try :p
On 26/01/2015, I went for lesson 3 part 1 which I dreaded the most as lesson 3 part 1 was about doing emergency braking which I have the most problem as I have the fear of falling down. And also we need to do figure 8 and crank course, need to clear crank course in 6 seconds and 11 seconds for figure 8. I failed. I can only manage to clear crank course, failed my E-brake and figure 8...Feeling really dejected but I mustn't give up because of a small failure. I will try hard next time!
Have to repeat ):
