Again, N and I were home late but this round, we ran out of luck. There was no single parallel lot left. Those left were either on a slope or meant for smaller cars. I prayed hard. "Lord, please guide me or else we will be stuck in the car for the night" (though I knew I still had the option of parking at the visitors' lots or at other blocks further away)
First attempt at Lot a was no good. All I heard was " Mummy, no no! You are right in the middle of the pole...you are going to bang it...."
Ok....I gave up on Lot a and gave Lot b a go. "ok ok....you are doing fine...keep going.....no no..stop...you are going to hit our neighbour's car! " (It was a squeezy double lot for 2 smaller cars which even L would avoid).
Ok...another try.... I moved forward and reversed again. " Good good! I think you are almost there....no but you are too close on this side....i wont be able to open the door...I will bang the pole....."
Ok...again.... " keep going....no no...slanted..."
All in all, 4 attempts just to squeeze the car in! So much for a "gold" driving licience holder!
My next mission is to venture out of my comfort zones. (ie. going to work, sending nicole to school on Saturdays, a few nearby shopping malls and grocery shopping) I am targetting AMK! Wish me luck! :)

Hi Little Lamb,
Lucky you.:)
Arent you worried that your car may be scratched too by the other car passengers when they open their door?
Indeed, more practice is required, being a not so seasoned driver despite having a licience for such a long time :). I only drive when I have to and whenever L is in town, I will gladly hand over the key....heehee :)
He tries very hard to convince me to change to the new model which can autopark but I refuse because our car is still fairly new and it is good by the standard of many. (Just an excuse for him to keep changing cars I suppose:()
Happy Driving :)
at least you have an assistant to help you with your parking.
Hi Rose,
Indeed, but I think it could have been better if N didnt sound so many false alarm, before the car censor did. haha
Thanks for popping over :)
adviser?...
