driving across the border..

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

I didn’t drive for some 300km from KL to Penang, but I did drove for about 60km across the two states, Perak and Selangor. THAT is a milestone for me :p *grin*

I knew deep down in my heart that my mum wouldn’t have let me drive so far, even though she agreed the night before. Well, all I wanted to do was to ease her burden on driving. I know driving can be very tiring, especially when she has driven from JB to KL the night before. I wanted her to relax and enjoy the ride while I drive :D

Ironically, she was more pressured and tension when she sat on the passenger seat beside me. Her hand was constantly holding on the handbrake, ready to pull it every time I overtook a vehicle. She said I move too much to the right, almost banging the divider :p

How was the feeling to be behind the wheel for the first time in the highway? PRESSURED! I felt rather anxious and pressured. Somehow, when I was driving, the images of me banging another car or the divider keep flashing in my mind. Boy, I was agitated. I kept praying for safety while I was driving.

Thank God we reached penang safely.

it's very pressure to drive with people who don't trust you....

if i ever bang anyone or anything, it won't be because i'm careless.. it would be because someone stole my steering, or someone shouted pointing at something that I've already seen half a second ago....

it's really amazing how people really distract you with things that u've already noticed... "AAHHHHH!!!" and the next thing you know, you're not looking at the road but asking the person, "WHAT???!!!"... and they'll go.. "YOU ALMOST HIT THE DIVIDER!"... in the mind, it goes, "no, i didn't almost hit the divider.. i saved a cat's life.... and you almost made me hit the next car shouting like that.."....

if people won't keep their mouth shut, i won't drive... and if people still won't keep their mouth shut while driving.. i won't be in that car...

hehe.. :P
and.. you should let your mom sit on the back seat.. she'll hav more rest there.. :P
