Three Luxurious Weeks

Okay, exams are over and i still have been busy. Just one week after exam, I've been driving around in not one but three rented cars for seven straight days. Fun, fun and fun. Shouldn't it be that I should feel rich when whizzing around the town in these cars? Frankly the fact is I felt richer after the lease ended. The petrol cost has killed my lunches. HAHA. Serve me right. One SUV, one sedan, and a luxurious Mazda 6 in a flashy yellow paintwork. So for the past one week, almost every hour i'm active, except sleeps, in a car. We went fishing, late night supper, all the chores without the worry for the last bus or train.

One thing to note is that on one Sunday evening, my whole family went to Joo Chiat for dinner. Traffic jam gave us the surprised arrival kiss. The entire stretch of the road was jam-packed. Buses can't move, led to a standstill. We visited Parkway Parade for the first time since about 10 odd years ago, and finding a parking bay wasn't much an easy task. Seven storeys of carpark I had to drive all the way up, and upon realising no empty lot, down the hell again and up. Finally, parked, shopped but left within one hour for dinner. Not so interesting about it.

It was raining heavily, the visibility was really low. Everyone was cruising fucking slow. And after a few km, I was shocked to find one victim of a roadkill appeared right in front and underneath of our car. A poor carcass of a huge cat. CAT. Dead, and flattened. Immediately I applied the brake out of natural instinct, which nearly caused an accident at the back. Father screamed, not for the cat though, but for the accident-inducing action. I should've driven anyway and not stop in the middle of the road. So I did, which the car JERKED twice, because it has two left wheels. GOSH. Poor cat. It affected me so much that the Nyonya feast during the dinner was ruined. I felt highly guilty. Hmm... It led me to a series of thoughts. Talk to me..

Fri - Mon (Toyota 3-door SUV Rav4), Mon to thurs (Toyota Vios), Thurs and Fri (Mazda 6SP 2.3). The latter one has a huge engine, really powerful and comfortable. I belive those who have sat in that day share the same sentiments. A huge engine = huge hole in my pocket. Huge cost of petrol.

CityCat - One lady tried to flag me down from far, but shudders to say sorry with a wave is indeed the joke of the night. Does it really look like a cab?!

After one week of intensive driving, there came a backpacking trip to M'sia. It was intended for a gathering dinner at a restaurant in Ipoh, but cousin Leo and I went to other places as well. We flew to KLIA in just 40mins and visited the city once again for some food and sightseeing. That was Leo's first time at the Petronas twin tower. Sadly and again, we couldn't go up the the connecting bridge on the 44th floor. Visit my facebook for more photos!

And why luxurious weeks? I haven got myself a job for so long, rotting at home whenever vacant (as in not occupied).
