♥ Queen of all Grumpy Old Farts ♥

About the GrumpyQueen

A.K.A Gatekeeper

I love food, don't deprive me of it.

I'm not Princess, I'm Queen

I can be quite grumpy and when I am, I hide here, my dungeon for reflections, ramblings and ranting.

Whatever I write are opinions, and may not be the whole truth. Do not read it like the Gospel.

I hate as vehemently as I love
I already know I'm crazy, be my friend, it's safer

Different is not bad, just not the same as the rest

If you don't like me, it's probably mutual
But I'm nice, really :p

Driving and its paraphernalia

Paraphernalia reminds me of my lit text in Sec school. Reminds me of King of the castle, of Hooper and Kingshaw.

Been a long time since I wrote about my driving adventures. Am doing intensive driving lessons to make up for the lack of lessons during my exam period. Am slightly better these days, at least I managed to drive on my own for a few minutes while my instructor talked to another student on the phone. No one died.

Parking is terrible. In a desperate attempt to make me park properly, my instructor made me write out the steps for parallel parking. The car went in without much fuss. He said “你是死脑筋”You should have seen me before the instructions were written out. I took ages to park. I said it was so much more difficult then vertical parking, he said, "your book so thick..." ~makes gesture of a thick book~ "you also manage to remember everything, this one cannot remember?" I said, "you don't have to study everything in the thick book, you just need to know the important things." He said, "still, it's probably more difficult then this."

He's right la...maybe I'm just dumb, not cut out for driving.

I sometimes don't know how I'm going to pass. I change lanes by swerving sharply into it and not checking my blind spot. When I check the blind spots, I never manage to change in time so what's the point? I'm so scared I'd kill someone someday. I'm trying, really trying but I haven't got much time left until my TP. How?

I don't want to retake leh...I'd feel like a loser. I'd look at those who passed on that day and cry, curse myself for my bad luck. But deep down, I'd know that I failed because of my terrible driving not because of bad luck. What if I never even make it out of the circuit? Where to hide this face of mine? What if I do stupid things on that day? Endless possibilities, what am I going to do to pass my TP?
