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

The soul of a fabulous parker must have possessed me today.

Am driving almost daily now. And you have no idea how much trouble I've caused.

I can't park to save my life initially. Once, I drove to my aunt's house and took 20 bloody mins to park. Nearly bua the kerb, nearly hit the side mirror of a van and blocked the carpark for a few mins.

I'm what you call a public nuisance.

I'm still not that good, but at least I now take under 5 mins to park.

Today, I took only 1 minute to park.

*Gleeful claps*

Why do you think I said the soul of a fabulous parker possessed me?

Just because you can't park doesn't mean you can't learn. If you keep running away from driving, you'll never learn.

I'll never forget the times when I was pespiring like mad, close to tears and still got gundu honking at me for blocking their way.

Once, I just reached the lot, was trying to park. And I swear I was almost done when this gundu black car came and honked at me. Thought I was gonna hit him but no. Anyway, at that time I was still not confident enough, I just drove off to look for another lot. My dad was like "why you go? Almost done already what!"

*bitter laugh*

Turns out that guy with rotten balls wanted the lot. We saw him taking that lot after I left.

But I also met some good drivers. One Mercedes driver asked if I needed help. Maybe his kid also just passed his/her driving...

And that's for parking.

The first time I drove independently on the expressway, I drove on the left lane, behind a van at 60km/h.

And people laughed.

*shrugs*

1. I was not a road hazard, I was not road hogging. I was scared to drive fast, the best I could do was to follow a slow vehicle instead of trying to overtake him. It's not my fault the vehicle in front of me is slow!

2. I was on the left lane, I was not crawling on a fast lane.

If the behind cars buay song, you're always free to overtake. LOL. On hindsight, there was no one behind us (the van and me.)

When I was on my L plate, I swore never to honk at L plates when they stall at junctions when I get my license.

Now, I'll be like the nice mercedes driver. When I'm an expert parker, I'll help those poor things struggling away at carparks.

Although by the time I met that nice driver, I was already quite familiar with parking and didn't need his help, I really appreciated his offer.

And to that guy with rotten balls: Thanks for that honk, thanks for snatching my lot. Because that really made me work on my parking. One day, I will be good enough to fight with this kinda of uncle parkers for parking lots. My car is smaller than yours, if you wanna squeeze, who can squeeze better?

One day, my parking will be better than this guy with rotten balls. You parked under one minute, but your car was jutting out of the lot, it was not in the center and it's not even straight.

After so long, I'm surprised you only mastered the skill of snatching carpark lots from P platers.

Someday, I'll beat you in your own backyard. You wait and see!

*slaps forehead*

I should have memorised his car plate number. Whoever that's bad in parking can practise parking beside him. Hit his car also don't need to feel bad. Then leave a note and blame him for not being in the center of the lot.

*evil laugh*
