<= turn left turn right =>

drove to the airport to fetch cy. made a terrible mistake, which my dad angrily pointed out. *covers face in shame*... i forgot to release the handbrake before moving off. gosh. i could hav burnt out the brakes.. keke. my dad was pretty shocked n displeased n disappointed. ha. but good news is, thats the only mistake today! ha... im not too bad a driver la... as zr calls me, 'safety driver' .. ok, his hidden meaning was... 'slow driver'. hmmz. *grin*

went changi village for dinner. yummy wanton mee... with fried wanton. keke.. my favourite. the famous nasi lemak so long queue, so i thot i'd better let my throat take a break. keke. then took a stroll along changi beach. quite different from east coast park. pretty deserted, yet tranquil and nice. great place to clear thots i tink. very serene... nice scenery too. den drove to cy's house. his neighbour was commenting abt 'a little gal in a big car' when she saw me trying to park the car. keke. i realise dat everytime i 'show off' my parkin, it sucks big time. either not being able to park in one try, or the car is slanted, etc. however, when im alone, i can get the car neatly parked in just one try. gee. had a short chat with cy's parents... talked abt their trip, my trip, etc... they even showed me short clips of the video that they took in austria. interesting! felt rather at ease today... happy.

felt like 傻大姐 today...

incident 1:
i mistook someone else's car for my own. only upon reaching it, did i realise dat the number plate was different. *panic* i couldnt really remember where i parked the car! ha... realised it was in the lot 2 rows behind. so poor cy had to lug his super alot of luggage all round the carpark.. hehe.. *oops* he even paid 100 pounds (equivalent to 300 SGD) for excess luggage weight. ha. so u get the idea.

incident 2:
i didnt know my way home from cy's house. *oops*... felt so paiseh. had to ask his dad to gimme directions. ha.. uncle almost drove his new car to lead me out to PIE. felt like some big idiot. haha... luckily the road signs were really clear, n the directions uncle gave to me were really good too. *whew*...

incident 3:
i only knew i had to exit at 'farrer road' exit. n dat was by the other PIE route... now, with dis PIE route that im pretty unfamiliar with, i blur le. jus kept lookin out for exits n they all didnt look familiar. suddenly saw 'adam road' exit. hmm... thot dat sounded familiar, so i took the risk n zoomed across 2 lanes to make a hasty exit.. hehe. thank gdness it was the right one. aiyo.. im terrible at roads. they noe me, i dunno them... gee.

nevertheless, i had a great nite out with the car. the first time i could drive anywhere with the car! the first time i drove it for sucha long period of time. the first time i drove it on the expressway. n most importantly, ALONE! oh, n not forgetting, the absence of the 'P' plate! its sucha perfect feeling.

jus picture this. its late in the nite, few cars on the road, 933 is broadcasting really nice songs, a little gal driving a big car. splendid feeling. a truly enjoyable experience. i like this kinda loneliness. lets call it 'pleasant nite loneliness'. its the first time i actually welcome such loneliness. no one nagging n pressurizing me by the side, on which road to take, or dat im driving too fast too slow or blablabla...

just me, my music, and my car (ok, my dad's).
perfect.
