Happy is the New Miserable
Sunday, April 2nd, 2006Current mood: Happy(*hoppity hop hop*)
Current music: Brighter than Sunshine (Aqualung)
For someone who has always thought that happiness is over-rated, I have been pretty damn happy recently. I think being content with life is the best energy-booster.
Hmm…what should I talk about today? Right, let’s start with my first driving lesson. It was a Sunday morning when my instructor called me. I wanted to yell at him, it was 7a.m. for God’s sake!!! But I was really excited to be behind the wheel for the first time. So anyway, I was supposed to drive on the road, not an empty lot like most people their first time. Obviously I was a little over-whelmed.
Then there was this really dumb chick who was walking TOWARDS the car I was driving towards her. I mean, which part of my terrified look and the words "Sekolah Memandu *censored*" printed on the side of the car didn’t she understand?! At this point, I still haven’t learnt how to brake. And my instructor, instead of helping, decided to tell me,"Just bang her la, she wants to let you bang her, so just bang her la". I freaked out. But luckily at the last minute, she moved aside. Stupidity knows no bounds.
My parents saw me on the way to get breakfast and I lost concentration because I was too busy smirking at my mum. So I made the engine die out twice. According to my parents, I was going really fast for a beginner on a busy road. They were exaggerating, it was only like 60kph maximum. But my first driving lesson had a deep impact on me. I now believe that the driving instructor profession is noble one. My instructor didn’t raise his voice at me even once… although I suspect he went back and bought himself another life insurance.
On another note, I have been elected as treasurer of the class trip organizing commitee and the KDU Leo club. Oh, joy (Note the sarcasm). And I need to get a new belly ring because the stud closing of my current one fell off somewhere. Grrrrrrr….. Semester one exams are next week *sigh* I’m trying as hard as I can to even grasp on the the tailcoats of my economics syllabus. I’m so behind schedule. And yet, here I am rambling on my blog. Welcome to the world of a slacker extraordinaire!!!
