Guys & Cars
It's a bad day to attend a wedding for me as i have an assignment deadline tomorrow. And miss procrastinator is still stuck at 400 words out of 1500. But thankfully i'm feeling better as compared to yesterday, and actually i have an mc for 2 days so i am officially excused from class. So my attendance still looks alright. hehe.
Last night i had a surprise visit from philipp. Received a sms "are you at home? i'll come round to meet ya" reply "yeah i'm home" and the next sms i got was "i'm here" So i ran to look out my window, some swanky merc again with 2 sun roof!! Gargh.. e500 it was. Acceleration super fast 0-100 in 5.2 seconds. And this time i got to drive it. Muahahhaa. But i've realised it's more exciting as the passenger than to be in the driver's seat. U feel the body rolls etc, plus he drives with more skill than i do. It's not my car afterall, plus i was so worried that i'd scratch the paintwork on the right of the car, coz it felt as though it was going near the kerb a little too much. Was heading towards lim chu kang where i saw a blue corolla with spoiler and all, windows wound down. Our windows were wound down of course, and he kept looking over. Must be thinking wahlau spg, driving daddy's car or something like that. Philipp then said to me, when the light turns green, u floor the accelerator. Darn he sure makes me do evil stuff. Awesome shit. When you close the car door the lights in the interior of the car dims down and then turns off, unlike the usual where ur lights just turn off. And suspension adjustable, sports, normal & comfort. Seats adjustable by this button by the side, can't really describe it here, gotta draw a picture to show. Didn't get to see the engine though, coz jonathan came by to meet me for supper. And i was so surprised to see amos in the car. Another one of those times when i'm overjoyed to see a friend that i wanted to hug him. But i didn't lah, 3 guys then i hug one. So weird. Plus i don't hug him at all.
So we went for supper at fong seng, and jonathan drives his honda stream like some small nifty sports car sia. Woot!!! I realised that although some people drive fast and cut lanes like crazy but you just feel safe, while some u just worry whether he's gonna crash your car. I guess it's a matter of how much you trust the person, plus a small factor being the car wasn't mine. All psychological. heh. But yeah it was fun being a passenger last night.
2 nights ago nick messaged me on msn and was telling me he had a month's mc because he dislocated his shoulder. Darn i want my one month mc too!!! Sweet fella said he'd make chicken soup for me the next time i come round. Realised i talk to him on msn more than when we meet face to face. I guess i'm slowly getting comfortable and talking to him as a friend. He was thinking of clearing his driving lessons in the month and asked me to help him out. Lol. Asked me to give him pointers or let him park my car or something. Reminds me of when amos hit the bumper of another car while parking. Hehe. Most prob let him park the camry if he really wants to practise. Parking the picanto is easy shit, but parking straight is another thing.
So 3 guys, 1 driving up to sepang today in the e500 and will be going round the tracks in the c55 amg, 1 driving his dad's car like a small nifty sports car & 1 struggling to get his license. Haha i ought to stop teasing him on my blog, not very nice if he stumbles upon it someday, though i doubt so. But still good luck nick.
And back to the humdrum, 400/1500...
