The time now is 7am and i've just reached home after a second consecutive night of clubbing and the most amazing thing happened.

D actually allowed me to grace the driver's seat just now for the first time ever in my life !

It was an incredible experience to drive around the carpark , under his strict supervision of course and in a something-something ( dunno what also , but i know that the car will move by itself ) mode without any acceleration because i am too bloody scared to even touch the accelerator after reversing into a drain on my virgin attempt.



The last time i tried to do even remotely control a car was months ago with Jun's car , then again i was only in charge of steering from the passenger seat with Jun handling the rest.

I learnt just how sensitive the accelerator and the brake really was , and i learnt it the hard way when i actually exerted full force on the brakes just like how i always do when playing Daytona.

I believe that if i did that on a full stomach i would have probably retched.

Or worse still , i could have killed us both should i have been stepping on the accelerator at the same time.

I used to think that any car would do for me , a relatively economical one like a Mitsubishi Lancer or a Nissan Sunny because i'm not really into fancy cars nor speed and all i need is a vehicle to get me around but after hanging out with D's car fanatical friends for two nights i realised just how much i am in love with the topless Mazda MX 5 , of which one of his friends drives.

Although it is a "selfish" car , as i like to call two-seaters because of obvious reasons , this baby is small and cute and absolutely beautiful.

And did i mention attention-seeking as well. Hahahha.

And the price tag for an old model of the MX5 ?

Only $40+k !!!!!!!!!! ( can buy newer model of Lancer liao ! )




The new Mazda MX 5 !!

Because my dad assumes that his daughter is incapable of passing her driving tests , he has brazenly agreed to buy me a car should i manage to get my licence. Ever since then i have been counting my chickens even before they were born and drooling over all sorts of cars just for the heck of it even though i've kinda made up my mind to get a second hand Lancer.

Something very expensive like a BMW 735 !!!!!

Got GPS leh , perfect for a person without any sense of direction ( i know the all sorts of routes by bus/train but car .. Not yet )

So anyway we were at this stretch of road @ Seletar reservoir where speeding Ah Bengs like to congregate to show off and ah , many zeng-ed or modified WRX cars flying around.

And of course lonesome speedsters on their bikes.

I had the chance to hitch a ride in a WRX for a while and damnnnn even though i've been in more expensive cars before like my uncle's CLK and the family cars of some spoilt-rotten friends ( like P's Rx300 ) , the feeling of being in a sports car and seeing the world fly past is..... breathless.

Nothing like the smell of burning rubber !

I'm a convert.

And now to bed !

Good night y'all !
