And again, another tale story from Peter Pan Land.
After a very awful eve, -- thanks to somebody -- I ended up at a friend's (I always see him as one of my bestfriend in this Peter Pan Land though) place, had a chit-chat, and ate at a Ramen restaurant in the neighbourhood (surely, it tasted really good!!! And I ate a medium size which was in a HUGE bowl!!! Please don't try this at home :p). I didn't know how did he come with this such a ... well, you could say 'brilliant' idea, but for me it was a 'deeply madly NIGHTMARE' -- was it because at 12.30 a.m people couldn't think clearly even without drinks???
Shortly, he made me did my second effort to mount that 'machine without engine' !!! (Who's that genious inventor of this 'killing machine' anyway????)
I could drive 4 wheels in the fastest speed with those zig-zag touch ... But this one???
Shoot !
First Lesson: JUST MOUNT THE BIKE AND TRY TO FORGET YOUR FEAR!
So it happened that the bike was a man's bike, with kinda big size wheels.
I had to mounted it and stood on my tiptoes.
(I had been here almost a month ago with my first trainer, to mounted the bike.
But it still scary as the first!!!)
I could feel my hands shaking and grabbed the handle bar strongly.
I kept saying to myself, 'If you could ride this one, it's easier to ride woman's size bike! Just do it! He'll be there and won't let anything bad happened! Don't be scared!'
The more I said it, the more my hand getting stiffed.
But anyway, I already on the bike. One thing down!
Second Lesson: BALANCE
"Put your feet on the pedal. The right first, then the left."
Yeah, yeah, so easy to say that, but my heart beat faster than an F1 racer!
It was really hard for me to keep my balance only on 2 wheels.
Was it because of my 'chubby' tummy? (does it count? Haha ..)
"It's okay, I'm holding you."
He surely hold me (if he wasn't, I really gonna hate him for the rest of my life :p).
But many times I had to make sure that he's strong enough to hold me in case I landed unprettily. (no offense, Mate ... But you're loosing your weight! -- In good way, though :D)
It went to the left, right, left, right, and I was about to scream!
No, I did scream I guess.
Why it had to be unbalanced?
"You have to ride it a little to the left and to the right. So it could keep your balance."
Hmppppffff ... How could I think when my brain got down to my leg??
Lucky that he could read my mind and my body language clearly without words (maybe this could be counted as one of your talent? ;) ).
Coz it happened that I forgot every languages in this world (almost included mine) and just made some stupid alphabets, "Bbbbbb .... Yyyyy .... Wwww ..."
And I was shaking even more !!!
"You're a mean teacher!!!" -- this line, I said it without any difficulties.
And he just laughed. (I really don't like his laughed that 'morning' :p, but big thanks for his patient ^^)
He pushed me to made a few rounds in that tiny park. So, 2 lessons down!
Third Lesson: PADDLE YOUR PEDAL
After a break with an ice cream (sorry, Dude ... I forgot that I had mine so we had to shared yours instead :p) in the cold of the winter's wind and an attempt of sweet escape (nice try to pull my bag, Man), here comes another one.
"Now try to paddle the pedals."
This one not as hard as before.
I just tried to follow the pedal's movement.
But surely, unbalanced!!!
"Yyyyy .... Bbbbb ..."
"If you feel that you're gonna fall that way, you should turn the handle bar to other way."
Okay ... this part, I was that close to cry and gave up.
I was scared !!!! I was trembling !!!!
Well, I believe he's an Astroboy.
He won't let me fall.
So, I had a few attempts. Mission 3, accomplished!
Fourth Lesson: PULL THE BREAK!
"We try to go that way, and just pull the break to stop."
I talked to myself, 'Okay, grab the handle bar, put your right foot on the pedal, paddle it a little to the front, get your left foot ...'
"Try to paddle it faster."
'Ow, okay, faster ...'
But, but, but, it was too fast !!!!!
So I pulled the break.
And I was about to fall !!!
"Oh, did I tell you to pull it slowly, like from half until it stop?"
(Oh, great! Now I had a forgetful teacher -- appearently the Astroboy transformed into "Nobita", one of the character in Doraemon comic :( )
"What???"
"Yeah, don't pull the break full. It would make sudden stop and make you unbalance. Maybe you should try to use your leg and slide to stop."
So there is another way to stop this thing.
But my hands' reflects are much better than my legs on this 2 wheels thing.
In every attempt, I always use the break.
But I was getting better though. Half, 'till it stops and put your feet on the ground, rite, Sensei? ;)
When I was sitting, "So, you wanna call it a day?" he said.
I was about to clapped my hands and nodded before he continue, "Or you want to take challenge?"
I really hate that word ... Challenge ...! I think I could do this one.
So I stepped up and ... Weeee ... It ran smoothly (even though I really have to work on that break thing) !!!
And he wasn't even help me (I asked him to do so, yet not being far from me ... thank God he's a good runner :p).
VICTORY !!!!!

"You made a huge progress!"
'Coz you're such a mean teacher ... In a good way ^^'
I'm about to conquer this phobia ;)
-- The answer of handling phobia that you got from unpleasent memories, find someone who could get back your trust. --
Hope I don't forget these lessons :D
This post is dedicated to my patient, forgetful, and mean teacher, Lionel Lin ^^
Thank you so much and waiting for next lessons ;) -- Just let me catch my breath first :p
And to the first person who dragged me out from my warm room on one night and brought back a bit of trust in this 'killing machine', Josefin Sohl ^^
Thank you for believing in me that I could do this. Never forget your optimism ;)
