Have Car Cannot Drive
No, it doesn't mean that I have a car but I don't have a driving licence. Instead, it's like this... I started off today on a bad note. Was trying to unlock the car but couldn't do it successfully via the 'press button on key' method so I manually turned the key instead. Then I set the alarm off and couldn't stop it. Every time I unlocked the car using this method the car alarm would go off. It was tremendously frustrating and in the end I took a cab to church instead of driving because I was afraid I could not turn off the alarm in case it chose to go off suddenly. Wasted one hour of my time travelling by public transport instead of driving and man, I was so peeved! Mum is going to ask the car agent what is going on. Hope I never have to encounter this alarm business again. UGH. I tried to comfort myself by thinking about how I'd contribute to the taxi driver's salary and that I'd get extra exercise and vitamin D by walking in the sun. And yes, I did all of that. Am going to make sure I eat cheaper meals this week though because cab fare is not cheap (I don't take a cab unless it's absolutely necessary so it hurts)!
Having said that, this new car (an economical Toyota Vios) is still quite a nice drive. The engine's very silent and it's more aesthetic than our old car, with a sleek modern interior, more comfy seats and a sexy shiny red coat to boot. The steering wheel also requires less force to turn and the accelerator and brakes are very sensitive. But it can never beat our old Honda City in terms of engine power. It just doesn't feel as shiok as a Honda when the car is going at 70km/h and above. Nevertheless, I cannot complain. This car costs less to maintain and still does the job, provided it does not cry molest out of the blue! And oh, all Vios cars are female because they require the driver to be very gentle on the accelerator and brakes. They're like young ladies.
Today is also Father's Day and I always feel a little sad because my father passed away in 2000 and I will never get the chance to treat him to a nice meal or give him presents using my hard-earned money. Anyway I have come to terms with his passing and I know he is in a place where there can be no suffering or pain. And I know that even though he isn't here with me on earth, he's watching my every move and is tremendously proud of me, as always. Happy Father's Day, Daddy.
On a positive note, I had the opportunity to blog alot today, which is a luxury I've missed out on for the past two weeks. I also went for a swim in the evening and bought a pair of big shiny heart-shaped earrings from Perlini's Silver at half price ($12.50, U.P.= $25), courtesy of the birthday voucher they sent me. Bless the Perlini folks, they sure know how to make their customers happy :)
