Honour thy father/mother...

for he/she can teach thee how to drive.

Driving is so much fun! I've done about four hours this weekend. Three of which were mainly on residential roads. I had a couple of close calls, like when I was turning out of our driveway and I drove right over the curb. Haha, I think I drove over the curb twice. I just got back from driving at night. Man, after about 10 minutes I had no idea where I was. I had my first encounter with a traffic light today. My dad was mostly shouting "SLOW DOWN". He only does that now when we come to intersections, round-abouts, speed humps, dividing lanes....

When I told Chris I thought that the acceleration pedal should be like a piano pedal, he said "I sense impending disaster". He was almost right. It was on that steep hill going up my driveway. Luckily the handbrake was on...oh come on, my dad said "press the accelerator", how else was I supposed to respond to that? So sue me, it was my first time driving a car ok?

I had my mum's strange pasta again today. My mother has a very loose interpretation of the word 'food'. Just kidding, it's was edible. I totally get my cooking skills from her. Anyway, once, about a week ago, I ate pasta with green beans and char siew. Yes I said CHAR SIEW. Italy where got char siew wan ah, and GREEN BEANS...??? Well it tasted alright, because there was also a lot of tomato and mushroom to mask the taste of GREEN BEANS. Today's one had broccoli and carrot. I avoided the broccoli (shhh don't tell) but the carrots were everywhere. It was alright, but they were still pretty crunchy.

All you people had better stop complaining that I write too much! Ok maybe blogging once a day is overkill. Just wait till school starts [tomorrow], then I will lose my sense of humour and not only will my blogs be long, but also very very boring. So NYAH! Like it or lump it, and bite (not me)...Nhu for good measure!

With love,
Mel
