On The Road Again

Want to have this memory treasured in my mind... but we all know the fact that our brain will get rusty... huhuhu.... just in case it went missing, I think it's best to keep it here....

Got my license when I was in High School. Got all the answers right, along with my sister, Deena in the exam. That time we had to answer 50 Qs I think. We both scored 50/50 (felt proud.... hehehe). Also scored during the test drive (parking and up-the-hill drive). But unfortunately, didn't pass the test drive on the road coz I got to drive in the 'Kampung' area. Was nervous 'bout the cows and bikers along the way. Couldn't concentrate with the driving... huhuhu...

So, I had to take another test. Syukur I got to drive on the main road this time. It was smooth and easy (^^). Got my license then. Yeay! hehehe...

After we both got our license, we drove once to school for a marching rehearsal. It was evening and we got home around 7pm. Deena drove on the way to school, while I drove on the way back. It was the first time I drove after getting my license, so yeah, I wasn't being really good at it. I forgot to turn on the head light eventhough it was dark! Our brother followed from behind coz he was worried... hehehe....

And that was the last we drove the car!!

For about 3 years I didn't drive, not even once! I started to get behind the wheels again when I was in my final year at UiTM. Syukur I managed to handle the car. My friends even nominated me as the fastest driver among us!! huhuhu... couldn't believe it!

Then, I got married. I drove once, on our way back to KT from KB. Hubby was tired, so I took over. Few minutes later, I got a speeding ticket!!... uwaaa......... sob sob.... so, hubby had to take over...

That was the last I ever drove... sad....

Now, the time has come for me to drive again.... me? get on the road again? after many years.... 8 to be exact! was quite a challenge for me. But, for the sake of my kids, Aisyah especially coz I need to send her to school, I tried. Syukur I was able to drive our car, which to me was quite 'big' and 'heavy'. Plus, it's a MANUAL car! Have to change the gear manually! But Alhamdulillah, I'm getting used to it. Now, even if people keep telling me to change to auto, I would pass coz I like manual.

From day to day I have more and more confidence to drive. Up to now, the farthest I ever go to is my hubby's company, at Damansara Height. I drove him once. And yeah, I felt proud... hehehe....

So, that's the story.... one day, when I read it back, I shall remember all the good times - when my friends screamed as I drove, when I got the speeding ticket... huhuhu.... and etc. (^^)
