My first day on the road with my “lao gong”

Saturday, February 21st, 2009

Finally! The much long awaited wait is finally over! :D Am so happy!! Hee hee..:P Well, instead of the 17th Feb which I would be collecting my car, the date had been pushed back to 20th instead! :D

So there I was on 20th afternoon at West Coast area with my car agent to collect my car. :P Woo hoo! I am so way too excited on the day itself! Hm, was I excited the days before? Seriously I wasn’t so excited leh. Hee hee..Probably the wait had been too long that all the excitement kidna died down. I thought I wont be able to fall asleep on 19th nite but hey I was wrong! I was so tired from work that I immediately fell asleep when my head hit the pillow! Hee hee..:P

So what did I do right after I collect my “lao gong”? Of coz I went to practise my parking! Hee hee..:P Well, with help from a really good fren, C : D He was such a nice dude to take half day to go collect with me and also to teach me parking at the nearby West Coast car park! Hee hee..:P Well, the method that he taught me was different from CK but somehow I managed to grasp the concept. I would say I am still having difficulties but aint too bad lah. Just need practise :D

How was my experience on the road? Well all I could say that a lot of drivers outta there are like rude and mean! They don’t quite like give way to you and especially if you are a P-plate, they totally bully you. Like cutting in your lanes etc but hey I don’t mind since I cant drive too fast as well. Need to run in for my car so I am told not to exceed 80km/h. So have to keep my speed within the range. :D And I also managed to honk at some stupid fella who kept squeezing his way into my lane! Goodness! There was like no space and he somemore squeezed like right in front of my car! My god! I almost hit him so I honked at him harD! Stupid guy! See me P=plate and wan to bully me. Heh. But most of the time I kept to the left lane since I was a slow moving vehicle. Hee hee..don’t wanna fine for road hogging lor..:P

And it was also my first time into a shopping centre parking! Woo..J It was fun I must say. Hee hee..:P But those car parks with really steep ramps etc really test my skill man. Coz I was so afraid of rolling back but hey so far it had been okay. :D

So qiao! I saw like many TP along the road somemore! Haha..first time on the road with my new baby and there were many TP! =_=

Overall, it was a really good experience on the roads! Especially with your own car. Since you do not have to worry too much about damaging someone’s else car except your own. :D And my car, it is really a head-turner! Haha..i saw like many peeps taking a double look when I drove past or simply stopped at the traffic light. Lolx. :P The p-plate is already an attention grabber and with the bright yellow! Gosh! Hee hee..:P

And my parents were like so excited to get my car coz they are looking forward to the license plate no to buy 4D! lolx. Hee hee..so once I got my car they were like asking me for the no! Even one of my sistas was texting me on Tuesday to ask me for the no! As I had not gotten my car yet I had no number to tell her! But guess wat?! She even called me just now at home to ask for the number! Hee hee..:P Hey sis! Don’t forget to buy my car something nice if you won lottery k!? :D

So peeps, look out for a bright yellow car on the roads with a p-plate! :D License no SJN…ahaha.:P Aint telling but do honk if you see me! :D

It’s official people!

It’s official people!! Ms Maddy is getting her car on the 17th Feb! : ) Yippee! Well at least that is the tentative date that Ms Maddy’s agent, Jess has told her :D FinallY! I have waited like one month plus for my baby to arrive! And finally it is almost here!! YAY! :D 

Everyone around me is like asking me when I am getting my car etc and finally I have some news and I can proudly say “17th Feb”! haha..:P Well, this also meant that my new burden has began. Hee hee..i can no longer spend as I want to and have to cut down on all miscellaneous expenses lor. Have to feed my baby. :D 

And I have already started buying stuff to input in my car! Wait. I do not mean car parts or stuff to mod my car. But rather essential stuff. :D Like tissue paper etc. hee hee..:P So I have bought those easy car tissue packs that can be placed by the side pocket on my door. :D Not the usual ugly huge tissue box that is placed at the back of the car since I will be driving and probably would need tissues next to me! :D 

Hm, as I am driving manual car, I was actually thinking of doing up a decal that says “I am manual. Please stay away from me.” This is to prevent all the cars from sticking really really close to me. Coz there are like drivers who like to stick really close to the car in front! And since mine is manual, I would want to prevent any incidents from happening if my car rolls back! Haha..:P But hey I found this even cooler decal yday at Jurong Point! :D It says: “Just passed test. BACK OFF!” That is so way too cool. Imagine it next to my P-plate! Haha..that will be totally hilarious lor. My colleague even commented that I should get two of those decals and put them on instead of the P-plates! Haha..:P But hey I cant do that since P-plate for a year is required by the law! =_+ 

Well I cant wait to get my car and I know that my mummy dearest cant wait as well! Hee hee..:P I know she is hoping for some nice number so that she can go buy her 4D :D But then I have to really go practise my parking also lor. Coz till now I am still waiting for my car to arrive to really go practise my parking! No one is willing or should I say, daring enuff to lend me his car to practise my parking. Except for one dear fren of mine. : ) The rest are like hesitant man. So I only have my own car to practise. But hey I am not going to try parallel first lor. Vertical parking would be the top priority! Haha..:P Parallel is way too tuff for now. Haha..:P Only when I am zai in my vertical, then I shall try parallel! Haha ;P 

Haha..so peeps, do look out for a Yellow Swift with a P-plate on the roads after 17th Feb! hee hee..:P 

A note: I can drive my frens around but in return you guys have to buy me dinner!! Haa haa ;P
