'P' PLATE................

Heyah....

Today's my first time driving my dad's car... And it took me quite sometime to get the hang of it cuz the paddles of the clutch, accelerator & brakes were kinda deep.... It took me sometime to get my biting point. To the extend of not being able to move from my car park lot at my place... It was embarrassing cuz I didn't even clutch in.... Stupid gears!


And with my dad beside me, it was kinda tough cuz he's there giving me instructions... And I'm there super blur & stressed out. And to top it of, I had to get used to the gears. It's like a little far. Kinda hard to reach the gears. I know I know what you drivers out there gonna say, you want the gears to be as long as the bus gears. I mean, the car that I drove back then was a Toyota Soluna and my dad's car is a Nissan EX Saloon.... Its different... But its cool to drive my dad's car cuz its like my car... I know none of you get it but after driving someone else's car for quite sometime, you get this sense of pride driving your own car. That sense of ownership...

My mom followed me & my dad too just now. Our drive was very far. I even went to the kiosk to pump petrol. All by myself. Then the cruisin started... From Teluk Kurau to Marine Parade to ECP airport to Bedok South to Bedok Corner and to East Coast Road & back to Frankel and I drove home. While driving at East Coast Road, my mom saw this notice board saying that Chai Chee Sec is 35 yrs old & I told her that I can't see cuz I'm driving. And my mom kept saying 'Tu! Tu! Tu!' And I went, I can't see it cuz I'm focused on the road...Ma Ma... I wonder how it would be if she starts driving again... I'm gonna put on loads of safety belts... With her looking for her gear & looking at the lights, I think I'll think twice about me in the car while she drives...

And you know what, I don't know how to park without the poles... Which means I still can't drive till I've cleared my parking. So those who are waiting for the cruise, you gotta wait for awhile k... Remember, patience is the virtue of life. But trust me, by Hari Raya, I'm gonna be able to drive on my own cuz I'm going jalan Hari Raya with my girlfriends. And if Mon is gonna have her B'dae party this year again at her place or anywhere, I'll be driving... Like you said Big_Fella, easier on the transport side....

But bottom line is that once I can drive on my own, I'll be holding on to the car. Doing errands with my mom & loads of other stuff. Don't need to drag my dad even to the florist if I need to get my stock of flowers. And maybe IF I can drive on my own by the end of the year, my aunt said that she wants to rent a car & she, Danial, Hanis, Hana & me can drive from Washington down to Florida. I have Danial as my navigator and I can drive. I doubt I'll have any problems. Pray hard that I can drive..

Actually, I thought of driving if we go to South Africa or even to New Zealand.. And if I go with my parents, I have my dad to help me while I'm driving...

And yeah Big_Fella, I know that you can only remember 2 telephone numbers. It shows that you DEPEND TOO MUCH ON YOUR PHONE. You gotta give your phone a break. Look, now your phone dah merajuk...

Next week my parents won't be around cuz my mom's following my dad on his business trip at Bangkok. So I have the whole weekend to myself... Maybe I could go out.. Relax... Maybe chill with the gals or something. I'm not gonna plan cuz it'll never go as planned. Look at the BayBeats & the Tapestry... Its all a mess...

Hey, my headache that has being going on & off since yesterday is making my head spin again. Its bugging me loads... Catch ya later...
