Title : watch out for that car! yes, yes, the one with the P stickers!!!
Time : 1:52 pm
Earworm: Drive~~Incubus
Summary of my driving escapades... a grand total of *ding ding* 4 times!
1. drive to 1 utama. mmhmm.. pleased to announce, quite smooth sailing. except when i drove over to the new wing in search of parking, my mum said "turn to your left, go up to the top" but i turned the steering wheel too late, hit the sidecurb and went into basement instead. chickened out of searching for parking. so handed wheel over to mum instead.
2. drive to dinner
this time, my whole family was in the car, dad beside me and mum behind. Dad keeps putting his hand nervously near the steering wheel. mum is being the backseat driver.
Dad: not so fast when u turn the corner!
Mum: slow down! slow down!
Dad: turn right... stop! stop! stop!
Mum: don't go soooo near to the car
Dad: Cut out now, look at the side mirror first...
Mum: Slow down before u go over the bump (like duh, i just came out from driving school, im the slowest P driver around methinx)
getting dark, and was raining, i tried to turn into an empty space.
Mum (screeching) too near! too near! stop! let dad park!!!
i seriously lack parking skills with no poles.. some more i was only taught reverse side parking.
3. parking lesson by dad
just a drive around the neighbourhood. learnt the easy one-- front parking in an empty car park next to the multipurpose hall. then snaked around before i managed to reverse park. argh.. hopeless! if there were cars around, sure to be multiple scratches
4. drive to sunway pyramid
was coasting along LDP til i for no reason something possessed me to cut into the right lane. then the relentless honking greeted me. when i looked at the side mirror saw this old maroon car (i suck at car models) real close to the rear end of my mum's car.
mum (calmly but secretly panicking) u cut into the fast lane and what do u expect when u drive so slow?
and the clueless me decided to cut back to the left. without looking at the side mirror coz i was kinda frazzled by his honking. gawd. he was trying to overtake me from the left instead and HONK HONK HONK!!!
mum really panicking now: stay in your lane! let him overtake you!!
now i was stuck in the right lane i had to go thru the u-turn before the toll, originally i wanted to turn left thru the housing estate but guess no hopes for that now. luckily i inched thru the u-turn. phew. no prob. and no more mishaps as i drove to the front of pyramid....mum*huge sigh of relief*
