Maddy: Life of a Beach Bum & Bikini Babe Wannabe!

Hm, it has been a week since Ms Maddy hit the roads with her Xiao Huang. : ) So how have it been so far? Lets see..everyone at work is so excited about my car. Haha..everyone is like asking me to drive them out for lunch etc. But hey I have refused all requests as my parking still sucks as usual, so I wouldn’t want to stall traffic with my parking! Hee hee :P 

Driving on the roads is an experience! I am like learning new things every other day! But I do know of one thing. Experienced drivers like to bully p-plate! Gosh. They are like so rude lor. Especially taxi drivers. They are the worst! Besides the motorcyclists who are equally bad. 

Experienced drivers are like not giving way to p-plates at all even though u signal early! There were a few times when I tried cutting lanes and I did signal early but hey the drivers didn’t even slow down! Instead they even travelled like so much faster so that you dunch cut into their lanes! Gosh. That is totally horrible and uncalled for lor! Heh. Its not as if I dinch signal lor. Its more like they just purposely dunch want to let u cut. So evils. There were a few times that I missed my turn because of all these stupid nonsenses. But oh well, safety first. So if they dunch let me cut, then no choice, I just have to turn further upfront. No point challenging my safety with these cars. 

Seriously it wasn’t tt bad lah. There are nice drivers around as well. : ) Still remembered the first day when I was on my way back home from work. There were like traffic jam and a kind lorry driver actually let me cut into his lane. : ) I met him again the next day and he did the same thing too. Nice nice driver. : ) 

Also met a really patient driver. As I am driving manual car, so I had to like get my biting point right etc. So it happened that I accidentally let go of my clutch while my foot was on the brake so the car died. : ( Then I was like panicky and had to restart my car. But somehow it dinch manage to as the engine was jammed. Totally panicky but managed to stay calm so that I can restart my car. But the patient behind me, who was driving a Hyundai was really patient. He dinch even honked at me and waited patiently for me to restart my car. : ) I guess he knew that I was driving a manual car and was like having problems starting it. Hee hee..:P But hey he was really nice and when I finally managed to move off, I actually waved thanks to him. And I think he got fedup staying behind me, he actually overtook me at the front. Hee hee..well I wouldn’t blame him but he was really really nice. :D 

How I wish there were more drivers like him. : ) 

But I wouldn’t say the same for taxi drivers lor. They are so horrible. The same thing happened on Friday nite when I was driving along Holland to pick my mum. And I was honked like mad. Goodness. Cant they just be patient for once to  a p-plate driver?! Every driver was once a p-plate lor. Heh. 

And wasn’t the left lane a slow moving lane? Apparently I don’t think so eh? Every driver is like moving so fast on this lane and even honk at you when you move too slow? So ridiculous lor. But hey they want to overtake me, they go ahead man. But just don’t do that dangerously lor.  Like this evening, this stupid Hyundai van just suddenly cut out from his lane and into my lane. Luckily I was not moving too fast and I honked at him! Heh. Drivers eh. Always think that they can bully P-plates. Gosh. 

But I must definitely said that my car is an attention-grabber. Hee hee..whenever I drive the car, I have peeps like staring at my car and then at me. So pai s e h. hee hee ;P 

Everyone at work loves my car! Said that it is so bright and suits me. : ) Hee hee..but wat I hate most is the dust at my workplace! Now my car is like covered in a layer of dust. So dirty and horrible. But I am unable to wash my car since it was like raining for the whole weekend lor. Heh. And I have the brightest car at work! Hee hee..:P Can be sighted way from afar. Haha..:P 

To conclude, it aint that bad driving but being safe and alert is definitely important. : ) I am actually enjoying it and my parking? Well, lets just said that it is improving though it can be better. : ) I have yet to venture into very busy carparks coz I dinch want to stall traffic. So right now am visiting all the very empty car parks so that I can take my own sweet time to park. Hm, and I have yet to park in between cars coz I think that is the hardest. Still am parking in lots where it is empty next to it. Hee hee..:P 

Hmm..probably I should try to park in bwt cars at work huh? That would probably brush up my skills a bit? Hee hee..:P 

Am still enjoying driving. I like the feeling of being alone in the car and blasting my music and singing to it while I drive. Hee hee..:p 

So peeps, do honk or wave if you see a yellow car with a p-plate! :)
