    Delivery man

    Yesterday was really a tough day.
    Went to help Kel to do some delivery for his company.
    Man, I have to drive a huge monster truck!
    I'm not even 1-year experience as a Class 3 driver yet and I have to mount onto this vehicle to manoeuvre it across the island.
    Travelled my all-time high record of 120km in a day!
    Went from Bugis - Ubi (Eunos) - Woodlands - Joo Koon (Tuas) - Clementi - Bugis.
    You name it, i've been there. North - south - east - west.
    Being comfortable with fast and automated cars,
    this monster was a complete irony.
    It has a manual 5 gear with a redundant gear 1.
    I literally skipped gear 1 and move off on gear 2.
    It can go up to a max of 80km/h with max load in the back compartment.
    The initial orientation was nervous but however once I'm acoustomed to it, i hit top speed and forgot that I'm a truck driver!
    Went onto the middle and right lanes and overtake every fellow truck driver! haha...
    Its pickup is rather slow with the load.
    I have to lower the gear for a stronger power.
    At times, the vehicle will back-roll down a gradual slope and I have to engage my half clutch, hand brake method.
    wow! it was really a test to my recall of my basic driving skills.
    Worked for almost 9 hours and I was so car-sick!
    Being stuck in a confined space and breathing the diesel soot, my head was giving me problems.
    Have to pop in panadols to kill the pain.
    But I'm glad that it was a great experience for me.
    Haha.. i've conquered all cars.. my next one will be a sports car!!! Ferrari? lol..
    Ok.. I'm going to a 3D 2N Camp now.
